The Top 10 Starfighters

By Imperial Advisor Arem Heshvaun, in X-Wing

There is too many of them! - Sorry, but thats the idea :D

They sure did lump a few of them together in their list which I believe is an injustice. I'm sorry but I don't consider all TIEs to be the same nor do I consider all of the "Jedi Starfighters" to merit the same spot either.

I must say I've never even heard of the Mandalorian fighter shown on that list at #10. For anyone who wants here is the list of fighters I can recall seeing in the movies; how many don't make the list?

X-Wing, Y-Wing, A-Wing, B-Wing

TIE Fighter, Advanced, Bomber, Interceptor

Jedi Starfighter from Clone Wars

Jedi Starfighter from RotS

ARC 150

Naboo Fighter

Droid Fighter

Droid Tri-Fighter

What I am I missing and what missed out on the list...

That the Naboo fighter is even on the list is a travesty.

You can tell they have never played X Wing

X-Wings and TIEs are so iconic that they should get 2-3 slots in the list .. each!

But X-wings are soo ugly, Y-wings deserved the top IMO ^_^

Firespray, V-wing

List is bull. Especially 2, and 3, which are total cheats, containing several fighters each.

Real list:

1. TIE Defender

2. TIE Avenger

3. TIE Interceptor

4. TIE Aggressor

5. TIE Oppressor

6. TIE Fighter

7. TIE Hunter

8. TIE Punisher
9. TIE Bomber

10. TIE Advanced

Firespray, V-wing

Firespray isn't a starfighter.

According to old marvel comics Millenium Falcon is best star fighter (the writer forgot it was supposed to be a frieghter)

Pretty solid list. Yea lumping groups together is lame...but allows for a bigger list.

Dude... ouch.

What a bollocks top ten.

No way the ARC or jedi fighters are cooler than the A-wing or B-wing

The big problem here is that it lumps the Tie variants all together. Tie Interceptor should be number 1 on it's own merits.

Remember these guys put Cad Bane above Boba Fett. Hard to disagree on the X-wing though.

Unless the goal of the list wasn't to actually list SW's top ten ships, but to enrage a bunch of nerds into talking about a particular website and visiting it to see the travesty for themselves .. in which case, they got me goooooood.

Where's Fat Han?

Top ten Starfighters, not top ten Starfreighters. Starwars.com gets it right even when FFG doesn't.

The Actis Interceptor and the Aesthersprite should not both be in the same slot either.

The battle of Endor shows that the Falcon can hang with the best fighters in the galaxy. I would say FFG got it pretty much right.

So by that logic, a Death Star is the best Starfighter in the galaxy, because it destroyed so many other starfighters.

Not sure about the logic of that one to be honest.

At Endor the Falcon is shown engaging, outmanoeuvring and chasing down TIE/INs. That suggests to me that from what is shown in RotJ the Falcon in X-Wing is working in line with the lore. Your mileage may of course vary.

Well, in the new cannon there is nothing that says that the TIE Interceptor is faster than the TIE Fighter. In the official site's Database there is not even an entry for the TIE Interceptor its just included just as a new model of the TIE Fighter. The only official difference is that it has 4 cannons.

And when you think about it, when you watch Return of the Jedi the only thing TIE Interceptors do is die :D Has anybody ever realised this? In the movie you see about 9 TIE Interceptors get destroyed and only 2 TIE Fighter :D

Then YT-1300s with dogfighting capability should be uniquely limited to the Millennium Falcon title, and all others should be the lumbering hulks they really are. ;)

But, again, being about to outmaneuver a starfighter doesn't make your ship a starfighter.

The Falcon is a cargo ship. It's a very maneuverable and well armed cargo ship, but it's still a cargo ship.
