It’s weird, when I woke up I saw the shuttle and Vader’s TIE shots on his Google drive, but the Vimeo link with all the joke shots was busted so I never got to see any of them. 😦

The original TIE wasn’t really meaningful anyway, they just showed us something common that Kylo found that was flyable.Nope. Have to disagree. As Rich Evans describes Abrams:
“His whole thing is feeling over sensible plotting.”
Honestly, when I first saw the Tie and X-Wing next to each other, I felt more like it was a scene where JJ was like “Look here are the two main ships of Star Wars next to each other”… I guess fan service, but not necessarily in a way that made a lot of sense… kind of like Yoda’s theme being used when Luke lifted his X-Wing out of the water. This was in the Sideways Youtube video but it just felt really off in the theatre… like I know the Force Motif is used a lot in Star Wars but it was Luke’s theme before it was the Force’s theme.
