Vintage 90’s Star Wars – X Wing Vs TIE fighter

Description

Since the starship battles in A New Hope were modeled after real-world dogfights, X-wings fit the role of the quick, darting fighter planes that fought in them. Their maneuverability and the split wings that match the X in their name make them one of the coolest starship designs in Star Wars, utilized by the heroes of both the Original Trilogy and The Force Awakens. Poe Dameron’s black-and-orange T-70 is the evolution of the classic T-65, with the same sharp ferocity. The X-wing is the ship of heroes, and it looks the part.

Few can forget the cry of a TIE fighter, as it zooms over their heads or right at them at dangerous speeds. Although it is absolutely the Empire’s most expendable starship, it is also its most iconic. The original TIE fighters from A New Hope were white in color, while the ones in Empire and Jedi were a bit grayer, with blue-ish hues. The signature shriek of the fighter was created by combining an elephant’s scream with the sound of a car driving on a wet road.
