What Jovian moon rock did you two crawl out from under that you don't know the term is "TIE fighter". It's an acronym for Twin Ion Engine and; as such, always capitalized. Not some brightly-colored rag pre-historic Earth-creatures wore around their necks to attract female mates... Sheesh!
Ouch! You got me on that one! I vaguely remember it being an acronym now that you mention it. And yes, it doesn't make much sense why people in a galaxy far, far away, (a long time ago to boot) would name their spacecraft after a men's fashion accessory from a distant galaxy in the future.... But they are kind of bow tie-ish, in a way.
Haha! The bags. You know, he must have his pressure set wrong, or that fashionable mask is more about fashion and less about sealing.
