You guys made a mistake. TIE fighters don't have any shields, compared that you say they have limited shields.
Film evidence shows shields (at least a form of navigational deflector) on certain ties in Ep IV (A New Hope) -- Eion 00:42, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Also Lucas Arts released a Tie Fighter game which confirms the basic TIE Fighters had no shields Kav2001c ( talk) 05:10, 19 January 2020 (UTC)kav2001c
I don't think the other TIE craft belong on this page, considering they each already have their own articles. Oberiko 23:46, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

As stated above the tie fighters do not have shields. The only exception to this in the movies is Vader's tie x1. Also, ties do not have ejector seats. In one of the rogue squadron books a pilot is told to "punch out" and replies "no ejector seat remember". I would love to know where you see an ejector seat in a tie in V. 70.105.68.30 00:55, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

WHEN!!! 70.105.106.147 21:42, 18 September 2005 (UTC) p.s. ties have NO SHIELDING WHATSOEVER. 9at least the regular ones).
I propose that TIE Experimental 5 TIE Booster, TIE/rc Vanguard, and TIE/gt Fighter be merged with this article, because they are experimental models, short articles, and their pictures can be placed in the section. Deckiller 18:07, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Yes well another place in which lucas has contradicted himself. Many expanded universe stories have told about the ties lack of sheilds. 7:45, 23 may 2006
Well actually not quite. The whole TIE Fighter Vs X-Wing thing was based around WWII Pacific Area Dogfighting. The Early TIEs matched up with the Zero - highly manouverable, well armed, but one shot could possibly destroy the plane and pilot. This was soon discovered by the Americans who upgraded their planes to match with the Zeros. The Zeros soon started coming down in flames. However the Japanese cottoned on to this and began upgrading and redesigning the Zeros to incorporate heavier armour and better weapons. The same thing would naturally happen in the Star Wars world. The Shields would be fitted to many standard TIES, but newer versions of the TIE Fighter (i.e. the TIE Advanced (aka Vader's TIE) would be put out.) So technically Lucas was right. No Empire worth it's salt would put out a fighter against an agressive enemy that would cause more damage to it's own troops than to the enemy. Lucas must have known this (and probably got complaints written from all the newely created Fanboys (and girls) who stated that this was stupid.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.167.5.6 ( talk) 16:19, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
Copyediting done and flag removed. Sorry if I missed anything. May I suggest that either a table or a footnote be added for each type of TIE fighter to inform readers as to where said variants appeared in the SW Universe?-- Anchoress 21:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Should TIE varients such as the Clutch and TIE-wing be included? While not offical variations fielded by the Imperial Navy, they are modifications to the standard TIE design. -- Raveled
Is it not possible that TIE fighters may have different models, even if they dont look too much different we only get a clear view into the cockpit of a TIE fighter rarely and not a great view at that. So maybe some were equipped with an ejector, or some were given roles in postings near dust clouds which is why they may need a little shielding however they dont talk about the amount of armour a TIE fighter carries.
I have a question about the following passage:
If nearly all books and other material from the Expanded Universe state that they are solar panels, aren't they solar panels? TomTheHand 19:17, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
I added the {{ cleanup fiction-as-fact}} tag after coming to this article looking for the origin of the TIE fighter sound in the movies but instead found little more than treatment of the TIE as a real thing. -- Newt Ψ Φ 20:26, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
I have noticed that the "Trumpets of Jericho" sirens on a Stuka fighter plane are like the sounds that the TIE fighters make... George Lukas influenced by this plane, perhaps?( [1])
I remember the phrase "after stupidity and hydrogen, TIE cockpits are the most plentiful resource in the galaxy" from the novel I, Jedi. It is perhaps exactly the same. I not very sure about copyright stuff, but this seems not right. Also, the paragraph does not sound official.
Wonder why they couldn't have bakronymed it to "The Imperial Empire" instead? -- 80.47.95.10 12:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Because that sounds retarded.
An early issue of Starburst magazine (low 10's) and/or perhaps Scale Model's review of the Darth Vader TIE kit (need to check this, but someone might have it closer at hand) cites the official colour as "Pactra Stormy Petrel Blue". However, this colour no longer exists in the Pactra range, so it is hard to find out more about it. [PEC] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.114.154 ( talk) 11:04, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
There is actually such thing as a TIE engine. It's used on some spacecraft. The only difference is that real TIE engines go much slower than the ones on Star Wars. I learned this when History Channel did a Star Wars Tech episode. How should I add that in here? Abcw12 06:16, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Just as an aside, the real-life TIE stands for Thermal Ion Engine. I thought the same was true of the fictional fighter but apparently not! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.104.55.242 ( talk • contribs)
Can anyone identify where the image comes from? The image page says it's from RotJ, but it most definitely is not. -- EEMeltonIV 17:46, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
The contents of TIE interceptor, TIE/Advanced fighter, and TIE bomber are entirely plot summary. I'd suggest redirecting those pages to TIE fighter and providing a Wookieepedia link to each in external links. Thoughts? -- EEMeltonIV 14:19, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
I'd say it's a good idea. I suggested a similar thing for the Resident Evil viruses. -- Lenin and McCarthy | ( Complain here) 03:01, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

All concerns were addressed, this is a good, informative article that never gets to crufty, well written and NPOV. Well sourced and images + infobox make the article nice too look at as well.

I just noted a reversion of a conversion to metrics, apart from being part of the MOS, conversions are essential. English Wikipedia is an international project, meaning international readers. Conversions should always be included, noting that the majority of English speaking countries adhere to that system, which is far more accurate than the imperial system anyway. By all means keep the original imperial measurements but reverting metric conversions is uncalled for. IvoShandor 21:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
The original article states "Sound designer Ben Burtt created the distinctive TIE fighter sound effect by combining an elephant call with a car driving on wet pavement." When was this? The TIE fighter's engine sounds appear in a movie called "The Magic Sword" (1962) missing only the hissing sound at the end.
It seems more likely that Burtt merely edited a pre-existing sound rather than generated it on his own.

Having seen a WWII era Gloster Meteor fighter at an air show recently I was struck by the similarity of the induction noise of the engines (in isolation from exhaust noise) to the engine sound of the TIE fighter.

I don't have a source for this, but I had always assumed TIE was a backronym (since the ships look exactly like bowties, and "twin ion engine", really?). I came to Wiki to confirm this and found no reference to it. Surely there's some documentation of the origin of the name somewhere? Phoenix00017 ( talk) 22:30, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Could Tie Fighter come from Thai fighter (a dude who practices Thai boxing)? Maxence2323 23:32, 03 August 2010 (UTC)
"The TIE avenger and TIE defender—heavily upgraded derivatives of previous craft seen in the Star Wars universe—first appear in TIE Fighter as player-pilotable craft." Minor Thing. But i don't think this is true. There might be a misinterpretation in the ingame briefings as well but there is no Tie-Avanger in the Tie-Fighter game. The craft called Tie-Avanger is likely to be the Tie-Advanced, Vaders personal ship that went into mass production in the Tie-Fighter Game. 178.202.48.220 ( talk) 22:39, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
