Is it a “Twing” or a “Xie”?

Wookipedia calls this particular layout a “TYE-Wing” but I think that’s just putting an official sounding name on a hodgepodge ship build.

Very Cool!

Weren’t these featured in I, Jedi?

Or one of the Wraith Squadron books?

I vaguelly recall reading an Expanded Universe novel featuring those craft any how. Written by Michael A. Stackpole with Kieran Halcyon as a leading character.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I know of at least a few EU works that various uglies showed up. TIEs were widespread surplus that were low cost to modify after the Empire fell, and a lot of them ended up in use by criminals and planetary defense forces.

thorcik,

Yep, “I, Jedi”.

It was one of my favourite EU books

DragonTypeWyvern,

That feel when Disney easter-egg canonized your favorite EU character.

That feel when you realize it probably means he died to Darth Emo and a sidenote goon squad in the offscreen Academy purge while Luke cried in a corner or something.

I always wanted to see a TIE Defender rebuilt by the B-Wing builders. Like, the new Republic gets the Defender plans, and builds their own version.

Is that from Lost in Space movie from the 90s?

Yes. I always thought it looked like the Cooler B-Wing.

AGD4,

Oh yea! Such a badass and tragically short scene. Almost out of place for that film.
