Description
Overhead view of an Imperial TIE Droid Fighter from the Star Wars Dark Empire comic book series.I only lightly inked it as I thought I'll do all the shading when I colour it in Photoshop and see how it comes out.

Those were a pain in the neck to fight without seeker missiles. Had a great love for the V-wing with its great power with great cost. Rapid fire with burn outs, and boosters with wicked slow down.

I take it you're referring to Rogue Squadron, classic game. I vaguely remember the V-wing (its been so long since I played it). I think I used to like the E-wing.

Yup, Rogue Squadron on the N64. We still have the N64 running for Mario Cart and a couple other games. I saw the E-wing and I thought it was pretty nifty too. I'm curious if there will be new letter fighters in the film series.

It would be good if the do have them but from what I've seen of the trailers, I don't think so. I'm going to watch it tomorrow, so I should know soon enough.

Let me know your thoughts on it. I am curious to see a comparison between the original series, the prequels, and the new series. Until I have confirmation that it is good I am in a holding orbit.

Well, without giving too much of the plot away, I thought its a good film, definitely worth a watch. Being a big fan of the Thrawn trilogy, Dark Horse's Legacy series, as well as quite a few of the other book and comics that have been around, I was quite annoyed that Disney were going to completely disregard that well planned timeline, I was a bit apprehensive about it. Basically they've tried to recreate the same, tried and tested formula they used in the original films, Episode 4 in particular (you'll see what I mean when you watch it). For me, for the most part, its worked. I'll probably do some Force Awakens related art at some point.

I had that game back in the day and I've had the Rogue Squadron games on the cube. I think they were the best Star Wars games made and they should make one for the modern consoles. I don't remember seeing any droid fighters in them though.

I can't remember as it was so long ago. I don't think I got to the final mission anyway. I finished Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike on the Game Cube though.

I remember that game as well. But unfortunely Factor 5 the guys who made the rogue squadron games are dead. I was looking forward for the Wii rogue squadron games

Oh no, thats a shame. The Battlefront series on the PS2 & Force Unleashed on the WII were OK, but no where near the same quality as Rogue Squadron.

I believe the upcoming Battlefront III is going to be a long wait due some trouble during development. I wise knew whats going on at the moment.

Hopefully they improve it a fair bit. I'd still rather see another Rogue Squadron though.
