getting in and out of TIE fighter

How is TIE fighter pilot supposed to get in and out from the fighter machine?

Through the hatch at the top I presume.

"TIE Fighter" the game had the TIEs with what looked like elevator tubes to deposit the pilots into the top.

RE: getting in and out of TIE fighter

In some of the film mattes you see TIE craft hanging from the ceilings of hanger bays and what appear to be boarding platforms positioned around where the craft can be raised or lowered for access.

I'd imagine if they made a surface landing getting in and out would be a bit like getting in and out of a tank.

You might need a ladder or something like that to get from the ground to the connecting vane between the pod and the wings but it would be a pretty easy task to climb in and seal down the hatch once you were up there.

MrP you sure are making a lot of threads...perhaps we need a "Random Star Wars Thoughts" thread?

What I'd really love to see is a Robot Chicken sketch where they have two pilots on a TIE: one to fly the ship and the other with his face by the window to make the "yaaaaaaaaahhh" sound.

I love the TIE fighter sound, to me it's one of the most iconic sounds of the saga. This summer, if you happen to spot a white car on the highway with some dude with his head out of the window doing the TIE fighter sound, that's probably me.

  

 

... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

This part of the forum is called "General Star Wars Discussion", right? So what's wrong with starting new threads discussing things that don't already have a thread going?

Maybe it's the sickness and cold medicine, but it seems to me that discouraging people from starting new threads on new topics defeats the point of a general discussion forum.

I think Frink was talking about a thread where little bits of random trivia can be discussed.

Lots of separate threads such as "Do Dugs Have Christmas Stockings Or Mittens?" wouldn't last long but in the context of a Random Star Wars thread they could pop up, be answered and then another random thought could keep pass the baton on.

It not discouraging at all as far as I can make out.

What's a Dug?

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish memes.

Oh, yeah.  A very dangerous dug.

You don’t get out of a TIE fighter!
 You don’t land a TIE fighter!
You  get in fly off and then die.
Darth Vader has the only TIE fighter that can land.

Yeah, Ok. Another shot of cold medicine and it all seems fine...

Except for the fact that I feel like a pig shat in my skull!
