This is sort-of a typo. I don't have the book handy, but in the chapter that discusses the Star Wars yoke, right at the beginning when describing the yoke, you state that you fly a TIE fighter against the Death Star. You actually fly an X-Wing Fighter, as the Tie Fighter belongs to the Empire (bad guys). You do shoot Tie Fighters though....

It's wrong, but not a typo!

Didn't know what else to call it... But yeah, its just 'wrong'. Maybe he was thinking of Star Wars Battlefields where you can steal a Tie Fighter and fly it against the empire... Those little buggers are fast.

No, it's just plain wrong :( It was supposed to be fixed before it went to press (my editor actually caught me on that one) but somehow didn't get corrected in the final version. Very embrarrasing :)
