Did anyone see the TIE fighter that shot him down?
Yeah, I meant to make a joke about it being a bad idea to launch a life-sized TIE fighter at the same time.

Not enough mass in nose plus too much wing area (not to mention wing tip mass and resistance to airflow) and rocket motor placement outside of near centerline equals spactacular midair disassembly at luanch. It was wonderful!
