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)_/¯
Yep, “I, Jedi”.
It was one of my favourite EU books
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 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.
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?
Oh yea! Such a badass and tragically short scene. Almost out of place for that film.
Yes. I always thought it looked like the Cooler B-Wing.
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.
