With the trailer for Episode VII premiering today, I am sure they will be plenty of new ideas to be had. To that end, here is the trailer:

These X-wings are strangely deformed. Look at wings...
Sickening, weakening
Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes a bit of dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you

Since it is has been 30 years since the last movie in the SW timeline, the X-wing design has probably evolved.
