The complaint about the two-seated TIE Fighter might be the nit pick to end all nit picks…

Strangely the Two-Seater-TIE is not a problem for me, it seems to be a (nearly) realistic development.

But TIEs can NOT stand on the solar panels! Never ever.
They are to fragile to hold the weight of the TIE.
They would be damaged just by standing around.

And TIEs, even the FO-TIEs do NOT have a repulsorlift, so they can not land and start like verticalliy. For that reason the solar panels would be damaged while landing horizontally. Atmospheric flight of TIEs is another problem, but landing on the panels is rubbish.

In the short anime film “TIE-Fighter” you can see how TIEs work.
