Well a later workprint has been given to Rogue Leader & the 2nd unit and to 005 today but its still very rough. I don't want anyone pestering these people for any information about the workprint because they won't tell you anything as i trust them 100% i won't be sending out a finished beta version though to anyone. If i miss a few little things then so be it.
And why not? After all, George Lucas missed a few little things ...

He's correct, most TIEs in this era don't have hyperdrive. More advanced model such as the TIE Avenger (which Vader's TIE Advanced fighter is the prototype for) and the TIE Defender which saw a limited run due to cost of production.
But they build another Death Star instead? That crazy Emperor ... >:)
Through the Tarkin doctrine, a second Death Star's cost is justified, "rule by fear and terror..." Had the second DS become complete it would of spelled doom for countless systems in open rebellion against the Empire. TIE Defenders, as awesome a starfighter it is, would not instill the same fear and terror a Death Star would. Nor would any ship have an effect like the appearance of a Death Star in orbit would: immediate surrender of planetary systems or death.
Not forgetting that, being a TIE fighter, it can be defeated by a stone fired from a slingshot. Anything that makes them more expensive without making them bulletproof is a waste of money. At least the Death Star can defend itself; even against planets!

End of the Doctor Who thread (by now), back to topic ;-)
Except for one thing ...

WOTAN probably made reference to Doctor Who because it searched the newspaper articles regarding a BBC television show which started around the time of the assassination of Kennedy and the Shoreditch Dalek Invasion.
It just wanted copies of the video tapes which explains why so many of Hartnell's stories are missing.
Hartnell has 11 out of 29 stories (including the 1-episode Mission to the Unknown) incomplete or missing, totalling 48 missing episodes. Troughton has 14 of 21 stories (not counting the reconstructed, animated episodes of the Invasion) incomplete or missing, totalling 63 missing episodes. I think WOTAN's been busy with time travel in the BBC archives.
