Characteristics
Edit
The Vanguard c20 retrofit suite was offered to older model corvettes like the CR70 in order to bring them in line with the CR90 model.[1] Judging from the use of CR90 corvettes in the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the CR70 model was a much older design and likely less heavily armed than its future cousin.[2]
Behind the scenesEdit
The CR70 corvette was created as a way to explain the differences between the Tantive IV as it appeared in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith as opposed to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and other previous appearances. However, the Tantive IV's appearance in Revenge of the Sith was later retconned in the 2010 Star Wars Blueprints: Rebel Edition to be the Sundered Heart. Leland Chee confirmed this as a retcon, citing the difficulty of explaining the differences in appearance between the films.
