For the mandolorian they needed more stormtrooper armour so they got the 501st cosplayers to fill in

So regarding the "Dark stripe" down the middle denoting it as the Emperor's guard, the Bad Batch finale did this too! During the epilogue sequence where Nala Se is delivered to the imperial base, she is accompanied by Clone Commandos with a similar grey stripe on their armor. Behind the scenes material refers to these Clones as "Royal Guards". So it's nice to see that little bit of consistency. Also for Legends fans? The name of that base is "Mount Tantiss." Do with that info what you will.

Imagine if this TIE variant replaced the "TIE Scout" in canon, it would've served as a better explanation to how Ben made it to Exegol with seemingly just a TIE fighter. It would've made sense too since plenty of these were clearly stationed in the Death Star 2 when it got destroyed. And given that Ben is an excellent pilot, we could infer that he'd studied the history of TIE variants and knew exactly which one he should find in the Death Star 2's wreckage...

When you said the bit about them participating to devastating effect in the Battle of Endor, I thought about the F4F Wildcat and F6F Hellcat of WWII. The Hellcat looks quite similar to the Wildcat, and apparently some Japanese pilots mistook it for such, attempting maneuvers that the older and slower Wildcat couldn't keep up with only to find the Hellcat still on their tail and firing at them. I can just imagine a Rebel pilot in the heat of battle assuming its a standard TIE/ln and underestimating it, perhaps thinking it lacks shields so a glancing blow should be enough to finish it off.

That 3d Vigilant model looks amazing, I absolutely love how we can see the consoles through the windows. It's a small touch with big realistic effects. Great video as usual.

I played the X-Wing flight simulator extensively when I was a kid, and it felt so authentic that I often have to remind myself that the durability of the Alliance fighters was probably exaggerated for the benefit of the player. So, I have a knee-jerk reaction with a comment like "a somewhat improved TIE Fighter was devastating to B-Wings" because the B-Wing in that game was an absolute tank. Fun fact: the Y-Wing was my ultimate TIE Fighter hunter because its cannons were so close together and center-line that a dual-blast would almost always hit with both, instantly killing a TIE Fighter in one volley. Of course, I played my fair share of the TIE Fighter simulator, in which I killed many Alliance ships in nothing more than an upgraded TIE Fighter with shields. The TIE Interceptor was a beast. The TIE Defender and Missile Boat were power-creep monstrosities.

I think its safe to say that George Lucas' personal investment of his own imagination and creation of lore has long since been surpassed by nerds everywhere. I think the truth is simply that his model makers were trying to break the monotany and throw a little variety in while putting these models together. They knew, at that time, that their little trilogy was a success, but I don't think even they were trying to will a ficticious universe into existence. I also don't think they had a backstory for every varying detail that set aside one ship from another. I would say George is both proud and a little embarrassed at the way people have taken the reigns on this story and run with it.

When you start creating novelizations, you eliminate a huge chunk of the audience. There is a niche audience who embraces the books or comics or whatever alternative medium there is, but its a niche audience. When you start adding characters and content to the movies that have backstory rooted in the alternative mediums, then you abandon the audience who isn't going to have read or observed that material. Marvel has been making this same mistake with their movies, as of late. In order to keep up with character arcs, now you are expected to watch the crappy series that are produced for Disney Plus. Its a bad plan for appealing to the widest audience. Star Wars original trilogy did everything right to completion within those three movies.

The reason that the Royal Guard decided to keep a low profile was because they didn't want to draw angry Corellian Corvettes or Gunships down upon them. The all red Royal Guard TIEs are also used as well.

The TIE-VGs stayed outside the Death Star II during the Emperor's visit to shepherd the swarms of TIEs orbiting the station, as following the defections of Kasan Moor, Crix Madine and other Imperials, the Emperor was becoming increasingly aware of not only the rebel threat but other factions emerging within the Empire who wished him dead, wishing to reshape the Empire in their image, most notably amongst the increasingly downtrodden Imperial Navy who often bore the brunt of heavy engagements with the Rebellion. Inside the station, he had the perceived protection of his faithful apprentice and the 501st who were also on Endor. The TIE-VGs were another layer of protection for the increasingly paranoid Sith Lord. ...in my opinion.

Either that or due to the increased threat from Rebel cells, they were preparing to run a combat exercise to make sure the base defenses were up to snuff. While yes these TIEs we're superior to the standard ones, they likely weren't all that much better than something like an A-wing or X-wing.

The only problem I have with the “roomy” cockpit idea is that you would think Vader’s TIE Advanced would have the same feature since he is much more of a higher up within the Empire as opposed to the royal guards. Maybe it could be that the cramped cockpit of the TIE Advanced reminds him of his past days flying around in his Jedi starfighter, and prefers not to have the luxury’s that come with his position within the Empire.

You've done it again! Another very plausible and logical extrapolation of an obscure ship. I really like the idea of a "luxury model" of a usually spartan piece of Imperial equipment.

I can not get enough of your content, regardless of if it's new, or old!

Random question: Would you be willing to design the internal layout of the Jade Shadow? A starship featured heavily in the old novels but we never got more than 1 official outside image of. I think you might do an incredible job at bringing to life old EU/Legends content. I mean eventually you'll run out of content from the films.

So long as there remains a ship that has so much as a single pixel out of place, he will always find a new ship varient.

I always felt that “solar collectors” was a misnomer and that the TIE’s wings were radiator panels, compensating for the ship’s compact fuselage. Otherwise, we don’t see solar collectors anywhere else and it wouldn’t work in deep space, whereas plenty other ships have large surface areas that would appear to aid in heat dissipation more than anything else (like S-foils).

@thewitch7342

I think that they aren't only solar collector but also massive solar batteries that can store Energy to use in deep space's flight That would also explain why TIE fighters are prone to blow up upon impact: One hit to the storage of that amount of energy and all the ship goes kaboom

I enjoyed your fan-fiction explanation for the non-standard TIE fighter. It fits well into the existing canon (such as it is). Thanks for the video!

0:42 I immediately recognized the TIE fighters in question. I actually had one of these toys when I was eight years old. The protrusion on the back of the cockpit is A FINGER HOLD so you can pull the pilot or eject DARTH VADER- while the solar panel wings would pop off in glorious destruction. What you say? This is not Darth Vader's special TiE Fighter? SHUT UP! Look at the package! On the actual piece, you can see the circle that locks into the body of the TiE fighter on the thumbhold. I used to trap ants in the cockpit and fling the craft into a ballistic trajectory replicating the same experiments done by both the U.S. and Soviet Union. That's what I did with my imagination as a boy. And this is what you do with your imagination as a man?

It would have S-foils. Yes. On a capital ship. It would basically be designed with all its heavy weapons on fixed mounts, and all its turrets for anti-fighter/bomber purposes, and would be focused on being very fast and maneuverable for a capital ship, with an operational goal of getting behind other, larger vessels and firing all its fixed heavy batteries and torpedoes right up their -bums- engines.

I've always wondered, I had a TIE fighter toy as a kid in the late '90's, action figure sized so they could sit in it properly, and I've always wondered why the back end was completely different than the movie version as well as why the wings were wide set and shorter. Mine had no batteries in that protrusion but retained it as part of the ship anyway and had little bits on it making it look like important parts of the fighter. It's notable "feature" was spring loaded wings that would pop off when it got shot down as it were. I used to explain it as a hyperdrive equipped TIE too!!

Love where you went with this!

I love these interpretations, doing a series where you "star wars-ify" ships and vehicles from entirely different franchises could be a fun way to flex your creative muscle as well ;^)

I would really like to see you re-create all the ships and add them in the battle of Jakku, or something

In Rise of Skywalker, I couldn’t help but wonder how Kylo Ren got from the Death Star to Exegol with what seemed to be a standard Imperial TIE that survived the explosion, which obviously lacks a hyperdrive. I guess we could assume that he found this mystery TIE.
