The TIE Dagger Could Have Been Awesome (Star Wars TIE Fighter Variant)

[@MetaNerdzLore]

Hey shout-out to Gajo Rasic, our newest Patreon supporter, but I accidentally uploaded the wrong end card on the last three vids so his name isn't on the end. Let's show him some love, like and put some respeck on his name lol. I feel bad because he sent a super nice message over Patreon too, not complaining at all just pointing it out. He was nice and polite and is actually giving money, while I get insulting rude trolls all the time demanding stuff just because they watched a couple vids. So I wanna show this guy some love!

I feel like people who complain about not seeing enough of the Tie Dagger forget that the Tie Interceptor only appeared for a few scenes in ROTJ. And the B-Wing. And the A-Wing. And the Tie Bomber. Oh, and the Arc-170 is only seen for...like 2:30 seconds. And the V-Wing is seen for a few seconds. In fact, it is very rare that a ship gets any real screen time in ANY of the films unless it is an X-Wing, Tie, Star Destroyer, or hero ship. Technology and ships usually shine in books, games, and series.

@Easliy Displeased here is a link that pretty much proved that he was the one that dropped off lucasfilm's since that design is not original in any way shape or form and was in concept art for the force awakens. Link proving he's no better than Disney: www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjym_-V5v7mAhWJd98KHUgLCJMQjhx6BAgBEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsith.co.uk%2Fpost%2F186140923320%2Ftie-art-of-tfa-concept&psig=AOvVaw3ajBs-ML-QjCsPcKnBj6mE&ust=1578943726597223&cshid=1578857399005

[@grandadmiralthrawn8116]

Mario Badia first of all that looks nothing like his design. second, he did point out that TFA did have concept art for a tie fighter with triangle wings and that they could have based the dagger on that. Third there are a lot of things that are unique to this tie that EC Henrys tie also had such as the airfoil like structures on either side of the cockpit, the rudders at the rear of the triangle wings, and protruding engine elements.

The tie dagger reminds me of something you’d see in legends after the defeat of the entire. I like the design but I wish it would’ve had more screen time

[@Aurik-Kal-Durin]

Really wish they would bring back the *TIE Hunter...* it is one of the most unique TIE variants in Star Wars: Legends, and in my opinion it is also the coolest. It would've also been thematically appropriate for the First Order to use TIE Hunters from the start being that the ship was designed as X-Wing killer, rather than just go with an upgrade of the standard TIE/LN with a reversed paint job. So many missed opportunities with the sequels...

[@inquisitorgarza312]

The TIE Dagger is impressive because it seems the ideal Tie design that the Empire want for the Imperial Navy. Though considering that Palpatine was secretly tested the TIE Design with Imperial Navy, and seeing both the strength and weakness of the TIE. Maybe the Galactic Empire was a glorified experiment for the Sith Eternal returns to the Galaxy.

Seeing how Edwards loves Star Wars stuff I'm pretty sure some scenes showing new ships, species or even just places. The first part with a lot of planet hopping was surely filmed later because it just feels so detached from the rest of the movie. I'm pretty sure it was what Gilroy filmed in order to give characters more depth. Cassian's scene was probably in the first cut but the rest with Bodhi and Jyn looks like it was added later.

episode 9 should have been episode 8 and we'd have a nice movie with fighting against the sith eternal

[@cujoedaman]

@@carlosandleon I agree, it seems like there would have been a lot more character development if this was the only second movie... well, as much character development you can get with the sequels of course. The prequels and original movies had a very strong connection to each other, the story just flowed together (barring any plot holes, of course), but the sequels tried to drive the whole idea of "let the past die" that they just felt like they belonged in their own canon apart from the other six movies. Just sad that this is what we're left with to talk about, not about how great Star Wars is.

what would be the price of a TIE Dagger? The price of a TIE Special Forces is 190,000 credits, taking into account that the TIE Dagger is the evolution of the TIE Special Forces, it should cost between 200,000 credits and 280,000 credits.
