The fact the TIE Advanced was in only one movie always breaks my heart.
-
Love how Maul has a large ship that he can walk around in, carries a speeder, stealth capability and hyperdrive Vader on the other hand says "Just give me a small ship with a hyperdrive to get me from A to B, the Executor has everything else I need" Gotta love a man with simple tastes
-
the fact that neither the TIE Advanced nor the TIE defender influenced the First Order's TIE Fighters breaks my heart.
-
The wealth of information that is out there yet I am still unfamiliar with is a huge reason I love star wars
-
I like the sorta backwards history of this. Vader was meant to fly a TIE that looked just like the others, but they changed it so we knew who was who. However, in the prequels, Anakin would fly a fighter that looked exactly like all the other Jedi fighters, just a different color, which they themselves are an "inspired by" version of a TIE fighter with their bubble cockpit and hexagon windscreen.

Always a treat when EC does behind the scenes content❤
-
Reminds me of how the Super Star Destroyer came to be. The producers on The Empire Strikes Back wanted Vader's star destroyer to just be the standard ISD model painted blue, but that would mean they'd have to redo all the lights for the model, plus they wouldn't have the standard grey star destroyer model for additional shots. So ILM convinced the producers to let them build an entirely new ship, which became the Executor.
-
I've always been intrigued by the idea of the TIE boarding craft, and I'm glad Rogue One and Andor have given us onscreen examples now.
-
One thing I love about the SW universe is the almost archeological zeal we shipnerds have about how ships evolve.
-
Huh. So I wonder if that red decal on Vader's regular TIE Fighter from that picture was the inspiration for the red slashes on the wings of the TIE Interceptors used by the 181st Fighter Group in Legends material.
-
I can't express how glad I am with the updates on this channel
-
The Star Wars Technical Journal denoted it as the 'TIE Interceptor Prototype'.
-
I didn't realize there was a TIE shuttle. I always thought Captain Needa was aboard a TIE bomber. Couldn't tell the wings were inverted in that shot.
-
I love that original design for the rebel helmets, before they made them open faced
-
2:35 that earlier design looks a lot like a TIE Scimitar.
-
Fun Fact: That "Earlier Design" at 2:35 is actually pretty similiar to what the Scimitar Assault Bomber looks like for the Empire, first introduced in the Thrawn Trilogy!
-
I really like that concept art of Darth Vader's tie fighter that guy was holding in his hand look kind of like some sort of sports car or something
-
Love that behind the scenes look and how it affected the final product!
-
I always liked the Tie Advanced - a befitting variant for the dark lord =)
-
It's always a great day when EC Henry uploads a video.
