First Look At The First Order Fleet

More and more trailers are being released now since we come closer to the date where "The Last Jedi" will hit cinemas. In one of the latest trailers called "Heroes" (watch the trailer below) we can get a glimpse of the First Order Fleet which is possibly attacking the Resistance Base on D'Quar. It's just a very short sequence and you could miss it if you blink but you can clearly see the First Order fleet consisting of the "Dreadnaught", a kind of new Super Star Destroyer, and at least three classic Star Destroyers which are being attacked by X-Wings and those new Restistance Bombers, which look like a mixture of a Nebulon B-frigate and a World War 2-bomber..

X-Wings and Restistance Bombers are attacking the First Order Fleet.

Although the Dreadnaught seems to be a new kind of Super Star Destroyer it doesn't seem to be as big as Vader's "Executor". When you compare the size of the normal Star Destroyers to the size of those flagships, the Dreadnaught seems to be about five times bigger than a Star Destroyer. While the "Executor" is much bigger by far (compare both images above and below).

We could already see ATATs and ATSTs in the trailers. And now we also get confirmation for that the First Order is still using those good old Star Destroyers, which still look cool and menacing.
