What was that TIE? It’s not named in the series, but the StarWars.com episode guides confirm it is a TIE Avenger. That makes sense, because the ship’s exterior design matches the TIE Avenger from Star Wars Legends, which was first created for the TIE Fighter video game. That starfighter was designed to be more capable against Rebel starfighters, being faster, more heavily armed, and equipped with shields, which most TIE fighter models didn’t have. They had a top speed of thirteen hundred kilometers per hour, making them even faster than a TIE Interceptor. But they were significantly more expensive than even the TIE Defender, so the high price tag coupled with the fact that the prototype was stolen might explain why it never went into mass production. #starwars #starwars
