For those of you following 1. I am sorry. 2. With that out of the way you are likely here for Star Wars. I used to be the head of the Imperial officer corps detachment of the 501st legion. We were responsible for creating CRLs and new costumes based off of the new (and old)

@jtimsuggs Deconstruction of older heroes beloved for 40 years to prop up the new ones. That is why. You will realize it when it is done to other characters you find beloved.

TIE Fighter came out in July 20th, 1994. PC Gamer said back then if you were on a deserted island and had a computer with a power supply and could only have one game, this was it. It built upon the success of X-wing and greatly expanded. First recognize that you would be

I cannot begin to describe how profound the introduction of X-Wing in 1993 was for gaming and Star Wars in general. It was the dream come true: piloting a starfighter from Star Wars. And it would have been easy to put anything out with the label Star Wars on the side of it, but
