The very audio track indicated evil intent.Īs the movie progressed, and more TIE fighters were on screen, I grew to dislike them intently. No one had to tell you the bad guys were on the screen. It had a sinister, haunting, villainous sound. When the TIE Fighter first appeared, it was that sound which really got to me. Even though I hoped it would all end up good, I sweated every new development, worried that it might not. Throughout the movie, I was completely caught up in the story. I was 10 years old when it came out, and the movie had me in its grips from the first blast of music through the speakers right up to the end.
I don’t think I’ll ever forget the first appearance of the TIE Fighter in Star Wars.
