The hardest part with all these "All blanks explained" videos is that, there has been SO MUCH Star Wars lore over the years, that it hits a point where so many of these feel redundant, and its hard to believe the empire would actually need this many different variations of the same ship.

[@alephkasai9384]

The F-15 has like 10 different variants all of which look largely similar and their differences tend to be incremental upgrades rather than completely different frames like what we see with the TIE.

[@AB-bg7os]

I like to think that every defense contractor for the galaxy wants a piece of the Empire's military budget, so the Imperials have like 3000 projects being funded at the same time

Tie Defender is my love. I remember it from an add-on to Tie Fighter. The feeling of power when piloting it is just crazy.

[@Doofing_Cookies]

The ship that Poe Dameron stole was actually called the TIE SF or “special forces”. The rear gunner and the red flash of colour are the main differences

Yes, the normal first order tie was just a bit upgraded normal one.

Really like the classic Ties like the Fighter Bomber and Interceptor. Some of the special ones like the Scout, Oppressor, Sentinel, Avenger, Phantom and Defender are also ones I really like. The ground based Ties were a weird bunch though. But the Lancet is hilarious with the design and proton beam weapon.

[@yaxlndxiii1290]

Yeah, I remember Empire at War (the game the Lancet and the Mauler came from as far as I'm aware) and they were... interesting to use. The Lancet was useless basically, but the Mauler was a very good anti-infantry unit, don't know why it had a self destruct option tho

[@sambrown6426]

@@yaxlndxiii1290 I'm pretty sure you could also use the Mauler to run over your enemies, which was always hilarious, and could be very effective under the right circumstances. I haven't played the game in a long time though, so don't quote me on that.

You forgot a few though. Tie Ground target, Tie Fire control, Tie Heavy Bomber, Tie Light Duty, Tie Stealth, Tie/rc Unidentified TIE varian (i call TIE Terror), the Imperial Troop Transport TIE Version (not the ground vehicle), technically speaking the Emperors Royal Guard TIE Fighter are also their own thing, since you included the Mining guild tie, you could have also included the Nsiss Clawcraft and the Gand starfighter.

[@26th_Primarch]

My personal favorite TIE is the TIE Hunter. You miss the TIE Clutch, the TIE Blur, the TIE Electronic Warfare variant, and the TIE Intercepter's Royal Guard variant.

[@66522780]

Interceptor is mine but that Hunter comes a close second. Especially when the wings are folded

[@26th_Primarch]

@@66522780 Hunter has a hyperdrive, shields, twin ion cannons, a munitions launcher tube normally mounting proton torpedoes on top of the normal TIE laser cannons.

[@X02AceStar]

My new favorite TIE Fighter is the raptor. it is quite literally a ball with 4 solar panels in the "X" configuration. It may not be practical, but it is very goofy looking.

[@WildmanTrading]

It wouldn't really impractical. It would be really annoying to deal with due to it's size, it likely still has the same armament as a normal TIE, and it would be more maneuverable to due various mass related reasons.

[@anwenlokier2292]

In my school vr game Goalius TIE tan form is considered a TIE veriont which is in the game (a form he uses for space combat and traveling to different locations of Ultra Space)

[@TURPEG]

The TIE Baron could be based on The Red Baron, a WW1 german fighter pilot who had 80 kills, who flew a red 3 winged plane

[@Torsk1007]

One thing you missed was that the first order had the TIE/fo similar to the imperial ones but with deflector shields but the one Poe and Finn flew was a First Order special forces tie fighter aka TIE/sf which had deflector shields along with a hyperdrive and rear turret and you can tell the difference because the sf has the red markings on the side of the cockpit

[@thechitownclown8972]

"It's Doritos like wings" That's all I needed to hear

[@CarterLane1300]

I love the features of the defender and the design of the interceptor. And call me crazy, but I actually like the tie Baron.

[@VestedUTuber]

A bit of info on the TIE Hunter, it was actually designed specifically to be an answer to the X-Wing Also, the second image you showed for the TIE Bizarro is a fan-made build in Space Engineers.

[@BabySkinCondom]

i grew up with the rebel assault PC games so i have a nostalgia for the TIE Phantom from RA2 lol

[@YourLocalSWfan]

Great video like always RedFive,keep it up!

[@TakaAmun]

Pick my favourite? That's tough... 🤔 Ever since playing Star Wars TIE Fighter back in '94, I have always loved the concept of the Defender. Love how the lore was expanded on in recent series. The sheer cool look of the V38 TIE Phantom caught my attention in the late '90's, though I never played the source game, and it seems to have sadly been left by the wayside. I'd like to see the current "Rights Holder" revisit this, perhaps Retcon origin story, but bring it back into play somehow, make it canon. So little info on, or stats for it 🤷 The First Order TIE Whisper seems like a beefed up TIE Interceptor: fast, heavily armed, has a hyperdrive, and a stealth-like edge with it's sensor confusing tech. Still, the TIE Baron comes across as more ideal than the Whisper, and a natural evolution of the Interceptor: shielded, variety of weapons, also a bit smaller than the Whisper - and smaller is harder to hit 😉

[@bionicvulcan]

My favorite tie varient is definitely the phantom it has far better visibility than most tie fighters, is one of the few ships with cloaking capabilities, and it's just a beautiful ship imo.

[@WildmanTrading]

My brain will always 9mage one just appearing out of nowhere and unleashing a few dozen missiles on a unsuspecting rebel ship.

[@NeovanGoth]

As a veteran of the X-Wing series I of course love the Avanger and Defender (long version), my very favorite fighters to fly. Also love the sleek design of the Phantom.

[@medaeusstygius7872]

So if you're gonna include Legends exclusive ships, you should include the Legends history on the others. i.e. the TIE Defender was originally created by Grand Admiral Zaarin in the TIE Fighter: Defender of the Empire game series. It was meant to be his advantage over the Emperor's loyalists during his coup attempt. He would be defeated by Admiral Thrawn who was then promoted to Grand Admiral to replace Zaarin. The only other ship that could defeat the TIE Defender was the Cygna Missile Boat. Rebels actually portrays the TIE Defender like its another TIE Fighter but with a lot more fire power and speed. The real TIE Defender was so much of a threat that even the Empire limited its production after Zaarin's coup attempt. Quad Ion Canons, Quad Laser Cannons, Dual Missile Load and can carry up to Heavy Bombs. Hyperdrive. Regenerative Shields. Life Support. It could still fight even if it lost a wing. It was pretty much the answer to the rebellion's A-wing. Badass ship and I do hope we see more of it in Ahsoka s2. Its first appearance outside of the video game and in canon, is not Rebels. Its actually in Return of the Jedi Remaster. You have to look for it during the space battle and its very brief. It was added as a nod to the video game since it was such a popular game at the time.

[@NeovanGoth]

There also seem to have been different designs of the Defender in Legends. The one from TIE Fighter (my no. 1 favorite TIE of all times) has a longer fuselage and is more reminiscent of the Avenger, while the one shown in this video is shorter and looks more like an Interceptor with an additional wing.

[@omarbaba9892]

Your thumbnail styles are the best

[@jarrodm9299]

The Tie Interceptor, Tie Defender and Tie Advanced X-1 are my favorite Imperial Starfighters.

[@joshuaaxford516]

Good coverage of all the TIE's, but you did miss a couple I can think of from Legends. There was the TIE Heavy Bomber and the TIE Terror.

[@benhornstein1688]

I mean, in Empire at War the TIE Defender is absolutely busted.

[@rodolfohernandez3303]

The iconic engine sound of the TIE FIghters i've always related to the howling of Wolves. Note: Glad to see you included all the TIE Fighters from X-Wing Alliance's Mission Ensnare Imperial Prototypes.

[@elitedragoon6484]

Tie interceptors, fun fact. Grand admiral thrawn made them have shields later to make them more like x wings in durability but still keep the deadly speed. Also my favorite is Tie Phantom.

[@General_meme]

Ok, why do we seriously need tie shuttles when there’s already multiple imperial shuttles. Other than the tie reaper I like that one lol.

[@virginiamoses8717]

Yeah

[@emergcon]

Because why take a mercedes (lambda class) when a camry can do the job

[@thefirstcurse3123]

The Lambda Class Shuttles are way too expensive. They're luxurious and only meant for the most prestigious of officers. That's why they came up with the TIE Reaper. It makes more sense to have a cheap and affordable troop transport, which is something that the Empire was severely lacking. Same with the Rebel's U-Wing.

[@captainmadoli4498]

I love your videos but I have one suggestion that is to make distinctions between canon and non-canon. Other than that I absolutely love your stuff man keep it up!

[@Christmas_Joe]

I REALLY love TIE Interceptor

[@rjdeseijn]

Interesting to see all these TIE variants. I admit I only know the ones shown in the movies and the games. There's only one imperial fighter bomber that kind of remains a mystery, which is the Assault Gunboat. Not a TIE, I know, but still..

[@wickedsteel]

I've always been a fan of tie interceptor and the avenger

[@markwhiteside7618]

Having played tie-fighter and x-wing vs tie-fighter games back in the day I have a soft spot for the trusty tie defender. This MF was deadly and fun to fly and saved my life more times during missions than I can remember. If the project wasn't cancelled and they were produced in larger numbers the battle of endor would've ended far differently and in the empires favor

[@jasonbourneistreadstone]

Once you can handle the TIE Interceptor, the Tie Defender feels like luxury. It's almost as fast and has such a well-rounded feel.

[@Casey093]

Yeah, if they had produced a few dozen ISDs and plenty of Tie Defenders instead of 2 death stars, the rebellion would not have stood a chance.

[@markwhiteside7618]

@@Casey093 tbh they needed the second death star to bait the rebellion in, if the empire fleet had numerous squadrons of tie defenders and a few interdictor class ISD's the rebellion fleet would've been toast. The interdictors would've prevented the rebel fleet from escaping using their gravity Wells and the tie defenders either using ion cannons disabling smaller escorts and outclassed most rebel fighters

[@orckingi1208]

Hey Red Five! Still crazy how many ships are in the Star Wars universe and haven't made it to the big screen, am I right? I was thinking that if you haven't made a video of it already that maybe you could make a video about fighters from the Old Republic era.

TIE/ad 😎

[@DismayingHades6]

another funny thing about Darth Vader's Tie Advanced X1 is its said to have better targeting computers, but vader always calls upon the dark side to actually aim instead of using it, even said and did this in a comic book, i just think its goofy because why not give that computer so someone without force abilities lmao, but ig vader needs aim assist on sometimes like cruise control in a car lmao

[@WolfeSaber9933]

It is also basically every fans wish to make their own TIE varient.

[@Finalzero0000]

Give me the TIE Hunter and the TIE Silencer any day. The TIE Hunter was basically an insanely fast X-Wing. It has more weapons such as ion cannons and proton torpedoes as well. It also comes with shields and a hyperdrive. The TIE Silencer is basically the performance car of the canon Star Wars universe. It runs peak starfighter flight performance while still staying cool. It would be a tough bet to get any starfighters better than these two in the Star Wars Universe.

Personally, I'm a fan of the classics: Standard TIE Fighter, Tie Interceptor, TIE Bomber and "Darth Vader's TIE Fighter", as I always called it. I always thought they were really cool (better than most of the Rebel ships), and kinda bummed that they were always seen as cannon fodder. I always did wonder how the hell they could see with the complete lack of peripheral vision.
