Why would a space fighter need wings at all...
True... yet not completely. You can still use wings for weapon pylons, or just inertial balance. Also, some snubs are capable of atmospheric flight, and potentially any ship could take advantage of some wings to facilitate a stable landing maneuver. Ships without wings manage everything with their antigravity. That's why it doesn't make snese to have asymmetrical wings, because if you have wings, they have to be somewhat functional, otherwise just don't have them.
