Description Inspired by the Secret Cargo episode of the third season of Star Wars Rebels, I decided to create this piece showing the confrontation between the new TIE Defender prototype and the Y-wings piloted by Ezra Bridger and Jon Vander (Gold Leader).

The battle in the episode takes place inside a stellar nursery so, being an astrophysicist myself, I thought it would be nice to use an actual star-forming nebula for the background

Created in Cinema 4D R11.5
Y-wings by Al Meerow

TIE Defender by Staffan Norling

Am I the only one who thought the TIE Defender was overpowered in this episode? Either way, this is splendid art.

Well… Remember how overpowered the B-wing prototype was? The TIE Defender prototype in this episode didn't seem to have ion cannons nor warheads like the EU version, so perhaps the extra energy is diverted to shields and lasers until those are added in a later model

Thanks a lot for the comment!
