In the premiere of Star Wars: Andor Season 2, Cassian Andor undertakes a critical mission to steal a prototype TIE fighter, suspected to be a rare TIE Avenger. This mission intertwines with Star Wars lore, as the design references the TIE fighters of prior films and a classic video game from 1994. Notably, the TIE Avenger boasts advanced capabilities, including a hyperdrive, influencing Rebel tactics in future conflicts. This creative retcon not only impacts narrative continuity but also enriches the franchise's connection to its gaming roots.
The first three episodes of Andor Season 2 find Cassian stealing a TIE fighter from an Imperial facility, flying it to a rendezvous on Yavin 4.
This plotline retcons a bit of Star Wars starfighter history and pays tribute to a classic 1994 video game in the process.
