Somewhere in another galaxy far, far away (thankfully) that knows only war, a certain psychic Emperor trapped in a state of undeath rages at the blasphemous heresy against gold.
he isn't. His "Pet" is and is force bonding him
Did Cad bane just die?
Did Cad bane just die?
I beg your pardon, dear reader, but we all know that Cad Bane would never resort to a weapon such as a scattergun when he has his trusty pistols, quick reflexes, and incredible accuracy (plus a theme that really slaps).
While a part of me wants the Governor to be force sensitive himself, I can't deny that it'd be a hilarious misunderstanding for someone to think, with his new drip and apparent force powers, that he's actually a Sith.
It likes the metal because it makes a great chew toy but it loves the crystal in it because it has a nice KICK and tangy flavor to it
I don't think it's him. The impression I'm getting is that the space-cat is connecting him to the Force because it think it's funny.
He didn't. The space cat is force sensitive and established a force bond with him. Or at least, that's what probably happened.
One fine day, The Governor steps outside.
they then start tripping like on cat nip, sending random telekinetic pulses everyway at random. maybe make ear piercing screeching because they think it's funny at the time.
Could be a combination of both which is common in fan fiction
Because it's very much NOT trash. The TIE Defender is one of the scariest and most advanced Starfighters in Legends and can alike and was basically a hard counter to the Rebellion. The Rebels usage of hit & run coupled with large numbers of heavily armed Starfighter forces was basically a hard counter to the Tarkin Doctrine and the massive Star Destroyers the Empire had such a hard-on over. The TIE Defender rendered that obsolete by allowing an even better fighter with even heavier armaments and shields WITH Hyperdrives to beat the Rebels at their own game. It was honestly a much better use of resources than the Death Star, Palpatine and Tarkin just have a love for ships and Battlestations of such a massive size because they think bigger is always better.
Better idea: they see new lightsabers keep appearing and come to the conclusion that he is OBVIOUSLY a total badass who hunts down Jedi in his spare time as a hobby. He just doesn't go public about it because he's such a chad that he doesn't consider his very easy hobby to be something worth bragging about.
Yeah but that's the TIE Defender which from my understanding was so heavily modified by the Empire's skunkworks that it can barely be called a TIE. And if I remember right it was so expensive to produce that there were never enough of them to see any real use. You are right about the Defender being an amazing fighter and a hard counter to the Rebel fighters, but that kind of proves my point since there were obviously better options floating around that they could have used, like what the Rebels were using, and they wouldn't have cost nearly as much to get any use beyond swarm tactics out of.
