We were all baffled, baffled I tell you, about the spacecrafts' need for wings in the vacuum of space. Plus how they could expand/retract them for different fly

We were all baffled, baffled I tell you, about the spacecrafts' need for wings in the vacuum of space. Plus how they could expand/retract them for different flying configurations. I mean it makes a cool toy, I can promise you that, but I think X-Wing wings were harder to justify than the unwieldy B-wing or the TIE Fighter's panels (were they supposed to be solar?)

something about the "ion drive"; "Twin Ion Engine" was the expansion of the acronym, right?

> the TIE Fighter's panels (were they supposed to be solar?) They always struck me as optical camoflauge for space...absorbing light instead of reflecting it.
