B-Wing (*inhales some of the good shit* What if we like just put all the guns and bombs on a fighter and have bugs design it?): The unholy offspring of the A-10 and the F-111
Let's only build giant Star Destroyers and use them for everything! It'd be like if Trump wanted to replace all the Burkes with his Golden Trump Battleships.
What an Imperial fleet should look like:
1 Fleet carrier, either a Venator modified to only carrier fighters/bombers or a new class of shit
3-5 Victory class ships, with at least one set up to be a missile launcher
7-12 frigates, carrack cruisers, anti-fighter escorts depending on their mission profile
Imperial class destroyers are too large and try to do too much. A battleship that is also a fighter carrier and can land a garrison? Come on. Executer class? Fuck right off with the 19km retardation.
Shame that Sienar was forced to cut corners and make shittier fighters. Actually something I always found very fascinating about the Empire was how it had its own cliques. In particular the capital ship cabal was interesting. It reminded me a lot of the big gun club from the US, which was a major factor in why submarine operations were so terrible in the initial stages of the WWII. Well that and dog shit torpedoes, but still.

The capital ship clique in the Empire reminds me of the top brass in Imperial Japan during WW2; the kind who insisted on large battleships, thinking it was still the good old days where naval combat was about how many big guns you can slap on a ship. I suppose I should be more understanding when it comes to the Empire; a lot of battles in the Clone Wars would've been cut short if the Republic had large warships like the Imperial-class and Executor-class Star Destroyers, and many of the Empire's naval officers were Clone Wars vets.

That'll work against the early-game Rebel Alliance where all they had were some corvettes, some starfighters, and some scavenged old warships. Late-game Rebel Alliance with their B-Wings and Mon Calamari cruisers would laugh in your face as their heavy cruisers rip your frigates to shreds while their B-Wings bomb your capital-class Venators or Victories into the junk heap.
The Empire's navy on Endor worked for the time; large numbers of TIEs to swarm the Rebel fighters, ISDs with heavy turbolaser guns that can match the Mon Calamari cruisers and rip smaller ships into pieces. And in the films, even your standard goober TIE Fighter has no problems killing a Rebel starfighter in 1v1 combat. Let alone a TIE Interceptor that has SIX LASER CANNONS (four on the wings, two on the cockpit ball) and is as fast, if not faster than, an A-Wing.
There's a reason why most rebel operations before Endor lasted mere minutes; if the battle went on for long enough, Imperial reinforcements would arrive and defeat the Rebels with sheer numbers and firepower.
And she would become the main character in the original trilogy and Luke does next to nothing. Ahsoka needs to be louder and angrier and have access to a time machine. Whenever Ahsoka is not on screen the characters all ask "Where is Ahsoka?"

Given Naboo's obvious (semi-)Italian aesthetics, I'd say the N1s are like the C.205 or Re.2005: aircraft of refined design and excellent combat capabilities, but too complex and expensive for true mass production, and not designed for long range missions (the lack of hyperdrive for the N1, the lack of fuel capacity for the Italian planes).
Which might make the droid star fighter something like the Yak-3: (relatively) tiny, nimble, lightly armed, cheap to build, and very limited in range, even for its time.

They look based as fuck but if you look at them with military autism vision they're retarded. Why does a battleship need to be a full-fledged carrier and the Star Wars equivalent of an amphibious carrier? Imagine the USS Gerald Ford with the turrets from an Iowa class battleship and a full complement of Marines from the USS Iwo Jima. That sounds fucking badass and gives me a major MIC boner but in real life it'd be beyond retarded. Look at how an Imp I/II has to launch its fighters! The hanger bays aren't designed for fighters but for launching landing craft. And why the fuck are they still using turbolasers for ship-to-ship fighting? They should be launching barrages of torpedoes from BVR to cut through whatever capital ships the rebels have.
The Empire should have a dedicated carrier that's designed to launch and recover fighters quickly. The Galactica did a good job with that. Forget making battleships, focus on building missile and torpedo ships. You wouldn't need turbolasers for ground bombardment when you have tens of thousands of torpedoes to drop on an uppity planet. "But the TaRkIn DoCtRiNe!!!11!!!" I hear you say. You can have intimidating ships that are also useful! Apparently no one told KDY that. They could have built three ships for every Imp I/II they built.
If Rey is Palpatine's granddaughter is Rey's father supposed to be Sheev's biological child or is it just a clone of Palpatine? It's been a while since I watched the movie.
X-Wing (advanced skunkworks project with guns and bombs): F-35 or maybe F-15
Y-Wing (beast from the last war still able to hang): F-14
A-Wing (advanced fighter pushing the limits of human pilot): F-22
B-Wing (*inhales some of the good shit* What if we like just put all the guns and bombs on a fighter and have bugs design it?): The unholy offspring of the A-10 and the F-111
The Y-Wing is an F-15, big twin engine thing that people later realised was also a great ordinance carrier so they end up being relegated to the bomber role despite still being a perfectly good fighter.

Around the same length with a the F-14 having a much larger wingspan thanks to the swing wings? I think it fits for the X & Y-wing comparison, assuming you map the T-65 to the F-14.

The nature of Star Wars space battles makes carriers not work. Everyone gets up close and personal fighting in space in SW, with very rare exceptions in the books and comics and games. A battleship that also carries fighters is much superior to a carrier that isn't a battleship, with the unrealistic way the space battles are fought

Turbolasers hard counter carriers. Snub fighters were used because they're too small and fast for them to track, but a carrier? It's a big, lightly armored ship. They still use turbolasers for ammo purposes since energy weapons have thousands or more shots per battery while slug thrower-type weapons like missiles and torpedoes have limited quantities.
