Imagine my disappointment when I think that Grand Admiral Thrawn’s “secret weapon” is going to be revealed as an Executor Class Star Destroyer or something related to the Death Star only to find out he’s building the world’s ugliest TIE fighter

Don’t diss my baby the TIE Defender like that

Excuse me, buit the Defender is a damned near a battle frigate in a one man fighter. It’s got missiles, six fucking canons, a hyperdrive, SHIELDS and is faster and more maneuverable than an X-wing. 

If they had mass produced these things, the rebellion would have been fucking obliterated. 

It IS a super weapon, just not another “Planet cracking laser canon” and would have actually been viable. 

It would have been like building an A-10 warthog during World War one. 

That there’s a next-generation Tie Fighter.

i like the EU configuration:
4 lasers, 2 ion cannons, 3 concussion missiles, 4 proton torpedoes and a tractor beam emitter for some reasons, and as said above shields and hyper drive

And good luck trying to hyperspace ram it!

    I still hope that the TIE Defender evolves to the Chiss Clawcraft in the new Canon.
