Imagine you live in the Star Wars universe and then you see a TIE Fighter commercial that says something like *Galactic Empire X Mining Guild presents the ALL-NEW MINING GUILD TIE*
It would probably become like Iphones and there would be a new one each year which was exactly the same as the previous one
Its a warning. All you need to remember is that any government that pushes solar panels and covering your face with any kind of mask is an evil empire.
The TIE lander is hilarious
It looks like a tie bomber half way through giving birth😂😂
The way you pronounce it is weird it sounds Like thailander
Sith tie fighter/tie dagger:❌
*Doritos tie fighter* :✔
No, a better name is Tie Dorito! 😂
Paul Iverson nice one😂😂😂😂
How to get x and v
Whats up with bad guys and making dorito shaped ships?
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice
The TROS novelization says that the TIE Ben took to Exegol is a scout-class, which explains how he was able to access hyperspace. It might be the same scout-class mentioned in Alphabet squadron.
He didn’t take a first order TIE. He took an imperial one, from the DSII wreckage
It’s a tie whisper
It is the same TIE Scout from Alphabet Squadron. At least that's what Wookieepedia says
WC L Ben, not Kylo.
For the Rise of Skywalker they should give Ben a Tie Advanced X1 (The force had lead Ben to a secret Hanger from Darth Vader on the Death Star wreckage) and not the normal design for a Tie Scouter, this had been less confusing.
They're gonna announce some Star Wars content with a new Tie Fighter tomorrow. I can just feel it.
Keilerbie Every single piece of new content since the Force Awakens has had a new TIE variant lol. Gotta make that merch $$$
@@Gage_Brumley Nobody's forcing you to buy it.
I think First Order Tie research is similar to Nazi-German tnak research. You made one good prototype but no one is able to product those before they have made another new "even better" prototype.
@Andrew Sever ROTS? Look at ROTJ. So many decisions were made for merchandising.
Pong Krell has foreseen it.
I love how so many of the pictures are Art from the X-Wing Miniatures game
Samuel M. I Iove that game
Yeah, these kind of videos usually take many of fantasy flight games' pictures
Samuel M. I love that game
Amazing game 👍
I Don’t mean to be *that Person*, but the Tie Fighter used by Captain Needa was a Tie/sh Command Shuttle. It had inverted wings and was used like a down scaled lambda.
Also, The Tie Scout, according to Wookieepedia, has been Pictures in TROS. It was the Starfighter Ben took from the Death Star Wreckage to Exogol
Oh, thanks for informing us
K thx a ton
That's correct. I own The TIE Fighter Owners Manual and its awesome reference guide.
@@fettmatic4106 yes it is! Love that book.
That’s what I’ve been saying
Still so happy to see the Tie Defender in Canon again.
"TIE Defender, Standing by."
Did you know that there are actually 4 tie defender variants which are the red star one tie defender from star wars legends with its red colour scheme , the tie defender elite , the standard tie defender(canon) and the standard tie defender (legends).
@@quwenfrost8177 Yeah unfortunately (Fortunately?) We traded Glaive squadron defenders for the TIE/D Elite. Pretty sure the elite never was legends since it came after the swap... but glaive squadron definitely had unique and striking color scheme
I was always a TIE Avenger man, so I wish they had brought that back but I guess the TIE Silencer and modified TIE Whisper are close enough.
I want my tie bizarro
Nobody:
Empire: Yoooo, how many shapes can we make a TIE Fighter out of?
Fallout Mc Gee69 us: yes
And the fact they made tie tanks

One correction: the craft that delivered Captain Needa was a TIE Command shuttle, detailed in the TIE Fighter Owners’ Workshop Manual.
Shannon Sobota it also has inverted panels like the TIE Defender and TIE Defender Elite and the later First Order TIE Bombers.
The TIE Scout was seen in ROS, it looks the same as a normal TIE but has a Hyper-Drive.
I wish they could've differentiated the design, it just made it look like a standard TIE and got everyone who's into the lore up in arms about it. Hell, I was pretty confused when I saw that design make it to Exegol.
@@commanderjason7786 I think they just wanted an X-Wing and a TIE fighter next to each other. I can live with it.
@@CyberController- Yeah, I like the imagery too, it was just confusing given we've never seen them go into hyperspace before.
The original TIE scout was hideous tho. I call it the TIE minivan.
@@andyb1653 I agree. While I think they should've made a slightly different design between the two, I do think they shouldn't have used the original. The OG TIE Scout was just...ugh.
“The best defense is a swift and decisive offense.”
The perfect quote for the TIE INTERCEPTOR
I like the tie interceptor the second sister had in Fallen Order.
Except that such an early appearance of the TIE interceptor violates established lore, as well as the ninth sisters TIE reaper. They should have one with a repainted Eta-2-Actis and Nu-Class shuttle to better represent the transitional era Falllen Order is set in.
@@scelonferdi Yeah, the use TIE Interceptors and Imperial-2 class Star destroyers in that game was REALLY lame. I know it's expensive to use new models (instead of swiping models from BF2 like they did for Fallen Order) but they could've at least given her interceptor some markings to denote it was an experimental unit or something. I think they shouldn't have chosen an Eta-2-Actis because of its association with the Jedi.
The thing that's really unforgivable is that they even included TIE interceptors on Kashyyyk in that game, just flying around all over the place in atmosphere. I wish they would keep better track of their own lore.
The TIE Reaper, however, doesn't violate lore, as far as I know. I feel like Nu-Class shuttles were, sadly, probably being phased out by that point.
@@jackrutledgegoembel5896 Vader uses a black Eta-2 in the earlier times, that is how I came to that idea. The Nu-Class comes from the inquisitorious (or at least purge troopers) using republic era equipement (such as clone armor with paratrooper helmets and the DC-15LE rifle) which kind of makes sense. The Empire should have captured a lot of Eta-2 fighters, which just present the ideal craft for inquisitors. I think a paintjob is more than enough distinction from the jedi (that thing already almost looks like a TIE).
Overall I feel like Lucasfilm is waaaay to cautious in showing that the empire IS the republic through early empire use of republic stuff out of fear of confusing good and bad. The end of the republic is a tale with lots of shades of grey (sry).
All three of your replies gave me a massive erection
It’s a continuity error!
You know you're a Star Wars fan when you can list every variant of the same ship
XD
the newly released Star Wars Squadrons has given us at the very least their interpretation of the TIE Reaper- a support ship for carrying extra munitions which could be transported to fighters mid combat scenario, as well as having specialty weapons such as ion lasers for neutralizing shields rather than destroying small fighters.
The TIE Punisher, TIE Aggressor, and TIE Phantom were all made Canon a month a half ago by the sourcebook Starships and Speeders.
No Avenger though 😢
@@kinofrohan and no Hunter
Tie avenger is canon
Little known fact: the empire used TIE defenders on Jakku, but we don’t see them in the books or games. They’re only in a piece of art for the graveyard of giants that is considered canon.
The TIE scout looked like a normal TIE fighter but it had a hyperdrive. It’s the type of TIE that Kylo flew to Exegol to follow Rey in the Rise of Skywalker
The TIE that Kylo flew to Exegol to help Rey defeat Palpatine didn’t even have weapons on it since it’s a reconnaissance/scout ship. It even somehow survived the destruction of the second Death Star.
They've made the Tie Phantom, Tie Aggressor, and the Tie Punisher Canon so far in Starships and Speeders.
Really? Damn. I love the TIE phantom.
Joseph Canavan yeah me too
@Noah Maldonado Yes it is, but the Tie Hunter is not.
The TIE Aggressor is really cool.
My favorite TIE Fighters list
1) TIE Advanced V1
2) TIE Interceptor
3) TIE Advanced X1
4) TIE Defender/Elite
5) FO TIE Silencer
6) TIE Whisper Interceptor
7) TIE Baron
8) TIE Dagger
9) TIE Striker
10) TIE Echelon
I still feel like the Jedi Starfighter from ep III was the first incarnation of the Tie Fighter
There's also the v wing
From what I remember Tie Defenders had 4 laser cannons and 2 Ion cannons on the top wing.
That was legends in Canon the ion canons were replaced with lasers
You forgot the first order heavy tie which is seen on the millennium falcon ride at galaxy’s edge. It’s overlooked by a lot of people
I absolutely love the TIE line of ships, with Vader’s Advanced x1 being my favourite
All of these should be in Battlefront including the TIE Phantom and TIE Crawler and TIE Shuttle.
The TIEs in Rogue One is different from the TIEs in A New Hope. Watch EC Henry’s video about it if you want the details.
So, it’s the P-51 Mustang or P-40 Warhawk or A6M Zero variants of Star Wars?
@@blueofthelightanddark6273 Its just model differences because they were touched up for Rouge One. Not an entirely new variant
0:19 The original TIE Fighter during and after the Battle of Yavin.
0:33 Star Wars Rebels TIE Fighter BBY. Its subtle differences are laser cannons and the fragileness. The Original TIE ABY and 0BY appear to be a lot sturdier with bigger laser cannons...
I personally wouldn't have noticed all of this if EC Henry hadn't point it out. All credits go to him.
P-51 Mustang or P-40 Warhawk or F-4U Corsair variant models of Star Wars, I gotta be honest.
F-4U Corsair: Birdcage canopy to bubble canopy.
P-51 Mustang: Birdcage canopy to bubble canopy.
What about the modified fighter Ben used to get to Exegol? It was a TIE Scout but the model is identical to a standard TIE
Noah Maldonado
Not the TIE Whispers. At the end of the movie where Ben goes to help Rey. He used an Imperial TIE Fighter
Andrew Sever
Alright. I was just confused since when he covered the scout it wasn’t the normal model
@@joeiorio9654 That Tie you see on Exegol is called the Tie Scout. I know that in the video there is already a Tie Scout that was mentioned in the Alphabet Squadron books, which I personally think is the same as the one seen on Exegol because it was used mostly by Royal Guards as escort and reconnaissance, so that explains why it would be also in those books, and also why Kylo was able to find it(presumably because there would've been some sort of emergency shuttle hanger near the throne room which likely would've housed this Tie variant)
@@joeiorio9654 Also, I forgot to mention, the reason why a different model was shown in the video was because that was the Legends model of the Tie Scout. I think he just didn't realize that in TROS tgat there was an actual model shown
2:12 i think you meant platoon because an entire company seems insane (or the info you got is insane).
Or maybe a squad
Oh yeah the tie tank is back baby
Finally a video which isn’t Q&A or Breakdown. Damn I missed those
TIE Bombers are also seen in the Last Jedi but they resemble the original bombers
Might I add that this split second hologram is sooo similar to the original that those who have not simply ignored it, have mostly concluded that it ISSS the original.
@@erikthomsen4768 that's what I was thinking, but why would an imperial bomber appear in a hologram about a producer that makes things for the first order. In another TLJ poster there were tie bombers in it, except just the same ones as the imperial except inverted colours
OMG! Thank YOU! This the right video I've been waiting for!
I’ve been looking forward to this!
EC Henry did a video on that "TIE Boarding Shuttle" briefly seen ferrying Needa to Vader. IIRC, he reconstructed the model ILM used in that scene and came to the conclusion that it was a completely unique, but otherwise unexplicated TIE class.
Unless it's since been sourced, Needa's TIE is not a Boarding Shuttle...the model discrepancies are too numerous to the R1 TIE
According to the TIE fighter owner's workshop manual it's a TIE command shuttle.
@@scelonferdi Ok sweet, thanks for the info. So it has an official name now!
Cool. The TIE Command Shuttle has panels that were similar to the TIE Defender and TIE Defender Elite. Which I think that’s how the First Order get the inspiration from the Empire’s TIE Bomber, TIE Command Shuttle and both TIE Defender types. Their own TIE Bombers: the First Order TIE Bombers, have inverted panels just like the TIE Defender, TIE Defender Elite, and the TIE Command Shuttle.
think the RoS visual guide says Tie Dagger was different as had engines vertically aligned..not like usual side by side ion engines on Tie 😋
The standard first order tie also had vertically aligned engines
I've heard that Imperial Guards had their own upgraded red Tie Interceptors for escorting Emperor's shuttle for an example.
The TIE shuttle in Empire Strikes back is different. It's wings face outwards, not in like that one in Rogue One.
@Noah Maldonado We only see it from a wide shot from far away. But the wings are definitely facing out if you look closely. I think that any depiction after that with the TIE shuttle with inward facing wings is simply a mistake because it's just so unclear.
the fact the Tie proto. X1 has better targeting computers but Vader always is like "ThIs Is NoThINg cOmPaReD tO tHe Tru PoWeR oF tHe DARK SIDE!!" is quite..... Ironic lmao
Tie whisper and tie silencer is my favorite
The elite TIE Fighter creep has already begun to take it’s toll on the canon. Still not nearly as many redundant TIE Fighters with better weapons, shields and/or a hyperdrive, and a different wing arrangement, but there’s already a few for both the Empire and FO.
Great video Alex 🙂
The original TIE was actually based on the Vulture Droid craft which was made by the group who would eventually become Sienar Fleet Systems, as stated in the Star Wars mini doc posted on their CZcams channel discussing with the artists the evolutionary inspirations of all star wars craft.
I am pretty sure there is a FIrst Order Heavy TIE in the Smugglers run ride in Galaxy's Edge. EckhartsLadder talks about it, but there is no official info about it.
Good to have these videos back.
The tie used by captain Needa in empire strikes back was actually a Tie Shuttle, very similar to the tie boarding craft but the wings were inverted like the first order tie bomber, EC Henry has a great video on his channel that covers it, check it out.
Long have I waited for a remake of one my most favorite video
Hello love your channel it’s the best Star Wars channel
This is where the fun Begains
Empire should’ve gone with the TIE defender as the standard fighter and used TIE auto-fighters as the cheap swarmers. They could’ve had defenders acting as squadron commanders leading flights of those drones.
but they would still be worse than vulture droids because they can't shift to walk mode
next, can you do a breakdown of every ship that fought in the battle of Exegol? 😋
great video!!
I can't be the only one who thinks that the first order tie bomber looks like the unidentified tie variant from the legends video
dragonblaster 10,000 actually the First Order TIE Bombers almost look like the TIE Command Shuttle.
Edit: The design of the First Order TIE Bomber are inspired by the TIE/sa Bomber, TIE VIP Shuttle from Empire Strikes Back, TIE/d Defender “multi-role” starfighter and Defender Elite and the TIE/vn Silencer.
Long... have I waited...
*ITS FINALLY OUT*
As a huge fan of the bad guy ship designs for the longest time, no small part thanks to ye olde TIE FIGHTER game, I am pretty disappointed that the variation in the current canon is almost nonexistent when it came to the later films. I get it, they need to stick to some sort of standard design for familarity and brand awareness, but man oh man things look so less imaginative.
Which is why I was ecstatic that Rebels brought back the TIE Defender...then thought about the First Order and wondered why in the hell they just stuck to basic TIE Fighter designs. And Kylo Ren doesn’t get any real special designed TIE like Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced and instead he gets nothing more than a souped up TIE Interceptor? Laaaaame.
To be fair Kylo had the TIE Silencer which he for some reason did no longer use in tros
TIE deathstar
...how hard it was.
Isn't the ship ben takes to exegol retconned to be a special scout model ?
It could’ve been assumed that the TIE Fighter been found in the wreckage was different from the standard TIE Fighter.
how was it not retconned to be the Tie Advanced X1?
Andrew Viewtieful Tachibana I’m guessing not every ISD has a TIE Advanced X1 since those TIE Fighters are more expensive than the regular TIE Fighters. That could explain why the TIE Advanced v1 that was created.
Honorable Mention: TIE Hunter from a Game Cube game from my youth.
This one is a total thing in legends, so this is good
4:36 shoutout to Jaxxon! I request that you do a Jaxxon episode, he deserves it, he's canon now, too. Great coverage on the Tie fighters, :)
My favourite is the Tie special forces used by the FO.
Also I never noticed the standard tie whisper in TROS until I've briefly seen 2 chase after the falcon through a green gas planet
Tie fighters look so NICE!! especially the interceptors
I play the game by Fantasy Flight Games called Xwing Miniatures, and there's two tires that come to mind that you missed- the Tie Aggressor Tie Phantom
I love the reference to The Red Baron with the Tie Baron
Me: skips 0.001 seconds
Yt: i’m about to end this man’s whole career
YEAY NEW VIDEO
Nice an update on the tie fighter sweet
the tie defender is my favorite one
Tie dagger is responsible for this: “Snap, they’re on your tail” “I see them” “No no no, Snap Snap!” -Explosion “AHHH!” “NO!”
Rest in Peace Snap Wexley. Mr. Bones is waiting for you.
Happy Tobus assuming droids can go to the afterlife.
Still don't understand why they killed Snap =(
Thanks, Alex! 🔱
Fantastic!
Final Order Engineers: a new TIE variant with... Get this... Triangles for wings...
I like the Mining Guild Tie!! Cool colour scheme..😉
The TIE scout is seen in the rise of Skywalker. It is the tie Kylo takes from the ruins to exxegol and it looks just like a normal TIE. I was confused at first but JJ Abrams and the novel clarified that.
Some of these I really want in Squadrons.
Nice Video :)
My fav is tie defender. Looks dope af
Actually, the shuttle used by Captain Needa was a different ship, as the wings are inside out, unlike the rest of the TIE Boarding shuttles.
I believe the Heavy TIE Fighter is also called the TIE Brute
I love the one flown by Moff Gideon as it looks cool.
The Tie Whisper modified interceptor’s stats seems to not make sense, it has the same wing set up as the Baron so it should be four laser cannons to Missile launchers between the wings. Plus the underslung turret from the normal tie Whisper. Though the Whisper’s stats are from Ultimate Star Wars new edition and the original ultimate Star Wars is known to a lot of errors.
Star wars explained, a tie scout is just a tie with a hyper drive, the tie Ben Solo used in rise of skywalker was a tie scout, which is how he went into hyper space with a tie fighter
Fo special forces tie fighter is cool but we never one fire from behind besides Finn and Poe escape.
Isn’t the tie fighter used by Kylo REN in TROS the LEGO tie scout fighter?
Funny jokes aside tie fighters have and will always be the best sounding star fighter in Star Wars no matter it’s looks.
FO special forces tie is my favourite
There is a you-see-it and you-missed-it moment. One shot, during the Battle of Takodana shows a Special Forces TIE fired it’s turrets from behind, shooting a Resistance T-70 X-Wing.
They really should make those solar panels able to rotate, that way they can be turned back during flight to not obstruct the pilots vision, and turned forward during landing to save space
I like the Thai striker and it’s a pretty cool design I want to make a hybrid, a normal tie, fighter, base and tie striker wings
As someone who identifies as a Tie Defender, I am grateful for your service.
Thanks for the video, but you missed three: Tie Aggressor, Tie Punisher, and Tie Phantom from the book Starships and Speeders.
Now we need to update the “Every Rebels, New Republic, and Resistance Starfighters” thanks to Star Wars Resistance and TROS.
Edit: Look, this TIE fighter (the TIE Crawler) even in canon is the worst ship of all time. Watch Bombastic and Eckhartsladder’s videos about why the TIE Crawler is the worst Star Wars ship.
7:04 Where are the actual photos of the First Order TIE Bomber cockpit?
7:19 Does anybody have high-definition (HD) photos of the cockpit of the TIE Whisper?
7:49 Where can I find photos of the TIE Dagger cockpit?
It's not a ship, it's a Tank
Well of course it’s a terrible ship, it can’t fly, like bruh.
All TIEs are fragile.
I’m still waiting for the updated video of the X-Wing, A-Wing, B-Wing, and Y-Wing. Even though there are subvariants, we still need to update the Rebel starfighters in Canon.
Update video: Every starfighter from the Rebellion, New Republic and Resistance (2020 or 2021).
Man any of those TIEs with sharp angles, hot damn thirsty interceptors are the best looking
TIE Baron is basically an Royal Guards Interceptor with a hyperdrive and shield.
Actually the Baron is a combination of the TIE Advanced v1 and the TIE Interceptor.
Hello! Thanks a lot for this amazing video, but at the end instead of saying « may the force be with you », you should have say : Long Live the Empire !!!
The tie phantom is canon as well i'm exicted
I'd like to know how long ago in the time line the Star Wars movies were when Earth got mentioned in Star Wars Resistance
Gary Pfeiffer it got mentioned in Resistance??
What are you referring to? That didn't happen.
@@PerovNigma It's what I heard in on the channel & I was like "WHAT?!?! STAR WARS GALAXY IS MILKY WAY!?!? THE ACTUAL ****?!?"
@@garypfeiffer3489
What's your source?!
@@PerovNigma what's my source?? What am i, an elephant? I know what i heard. I just don't remember what the video explaining it was called. All i know is that it had to do with Kaz & the gang running from the 1st order.
Long have I waited...
Me after I spent 10 minutes watching the last all TIE starships episode a few days ago
*Ah shit here we go again*
Edit: Fixed some mistakes
no tie avenger or tie silencer mentioned *and some tie fighters released in the SW CCG as where the tie-scout picture came from)
Oh yes. Finally
I knew this was coming. It's as predictable as the May 4 canon timeline update. Hehehe.
Now we need an updated version of the “Every Rebels, New Republic, and Resistance Starfighters of the Star Wars Canon” video.
@Dylan Kikunaga Agreed!
The 2020 updated version will have ships from Star Wars Resistance and TROS. Now, starfighters that served in the Resistance are the Aces’s racers and X-Wings of Jade Squadron. B-Wing and Y-Wing.
This is cool
Would really like someone like Hasbro, Hot Wheels, SOMEONE make a model or toy of the TIE we got to see in Solo.
5:00 The TIE Scout is probably a TIE-Fighter with a hyperdrive and greatly resembled a normal TIE Fighter. This might be the TIE Fighter kylo used to go on exegol in episode 9 since standard TIE Fighters don't have hyperdrives and Rey took his new TIE whisper interceptor to go on the same island Luke lived until his sweet death
