New pictures from upcoming "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" have made their way online. In some photos obtained by TMZ, a classic X-Wing plane can be seen at the Pinewood Studios where "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was also filmed.

The Rebel fighter plane was famously used by Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) to destroy the Death Star. The X-Wing seen in the pictures has four engines, just like the original planes. Meanwhile, the X-Wing featured in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is a newer plane with two engines.

"Rogue One" reportedly will follow a group of resistance fighters attempting to steal plans for the Death Star.
