flareback Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Your analogy makes no sense. The Serenity is a Firefly class ship, so calling this either a Serenity or a Firefly keychain makes sense as you are then referring to either the ship's proper name or its class. An X-Wing and TIE Fighter are two distinct class of starfighters, so those names cannot be used interchangeably. +1 for Kash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An X-Wing and TIE Fighter are two distinct class of starfighters, so those names cannot be used interchangeably. I'm gonna agree with Kash. Ivy, to correct your analogy, had Luke named his X-Wing, then one could sell a X-Wing keychain or an -insert name- keychain, they'd both just be keychains of an x-wing. Same idea goes for cars, you could have a '69 Charger keychain or a General Lee keychain, they'd pretty much be the same thing. What you're analogy said was a Charger keychain and a Camaro keychain were the same thing because they're both sports cars, essentially.

Kash Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Ah, so you're going with something akin to this: calling the Millennium Falcon a YT-1300 class freighter would be an insult since while technically correct, the official designation robs the ship of its essence. I can see where you're coming from, though keep in mind that calling the ship by either name is still technically correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(plus it was mentioned as bait to find out whether or not the Serenity itself does stand apart to a comparable ship in it's class) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
