How does the new Galileo compare to the original? Let’s take a look based off the recently released images and descriptions of the new Galileo. Obviously, the new Galileo eliminates the pigtail power cord of the 90’s for batteries. The 1992 Galileo featured lighting effects in the forward windows, while the 2026 version appears to forgo lights. Both ornaments include Spock’s iconic holiday message. Yay!!! The 2026 will have additional audio from the TOS episode. Where the 2026 shuttlecraft truly stands apart is in its sculpt, which is far more accurate. Yet it appears the paint scheme, on the underside and warp drive nacelles, reflects a more screen accurate gray tone on the 1992 shuttlecraft, while the 2026 Galileo has a more uniform color throughout.
