Check out more of my X-Wing posts and other odd corners at my blog, RookEnd.com I instantly liked the TIE Phantom.  First, because I dislike the look of the other Imperial ship in this release, the TIE Defender.  I know people love the Defender, but it looks all backwards to me.  (It looks like someone […]
