By M0N0LITH, in Star Wars: Armada

New official Star Wars RoS artwork has been published and has anyone an idea of what sort the new tie fighter might be?!?

More important, is that a GSD?

It's supposed to be a TIE Interceptor, but the artist was told to keep the S-Foils closed.

That was my first thought too šŸ˜‚ , but it is obviously a Resurgent-class.

It's called a TIE Dagger according to Wookieepedia. EC Henry made a fighter very similar to this one on his channel with the wings also functioning as landing gear.

Horrible design. It totally closes off a pilot's field of vision.

That's been a feature since the original TIE, though.

Call it a feature and they'll never catch on...

I thought it was clearly the Decimator. ;)

I think it is meant to be a Resurgent-class Star Destroyer. Compare with this image .

The two spiky bits at the front aren't the horizontally-separated bits from the Gladiator but the vertically-separated bits from the Resurgent's weird negative-space hull.

Lame. They need to bring more Droids content into the new Cannon.

Should we be ā€œsteppin’ softly in a danger zoneā€? Hopefully we won’t be ā€œin trouble again.ā€

TIE Fighters have always had more "features" than features. Glad to see the First Order keeping that proud tradition alive.

To narrow the field of vision to keep the pilot from seeing comrades fighters go down and to keep on fighting longer. When the pilot notices that it is not going so well, there is no time for retreat.

Ugly? Not as in, "a ship made by combining parts of ships," but as in, "man, that thing is hideous."

Never so much as on this design.

just for once I wish they would return the mundane names. "TIE Interceptor II" instead of something like "TIE Obfuscate" or "TIE Ill-stab-you-with-rusty-forks".

Never liked that about the Extended universe, either.
