In the recent partial solar eclipse, astrophotographer Thierry Legault took an epic snapshot of all the action. But wait, what is that tiny little thing to the left….?
Here’s a closer look:
Yup. Clearly a TIE fighter.

Uhh…that’s the ISS.
Looks more like the Canadian flag at a distance…
That ships to small to be on his own, he must have gotten lost.
Bwahaha Eric. That’s either the ISS or some Russian satellite…but we can always dream right?

That’s not even close to the ISS. That’s a TIE figher. The thing at the bottom is the Death Star, it’s just further away so it looks smaller.
Damn, you can’t let them have anything can’t you! ISS, IRS, INS, who cares what it really is. it looks like a damn TIE Fighter.
No, seriously, it actually *is* the ISS.
From the article, second paragraph below the photo (third if you count that one sentence as a true paragraph):
“…the ISS was in front of the Sun for less than second…”
That’s no TIE… that’s a space station.
Yeah I was just messin around. I can just tell its a satellite but I wouldn’t know which one it is. That’s one of the many cons of being a comedian. Not knowing what the heck is up there…and getting crabs every saturday night….Jk…its actually every 2 months….that’s not joke
That is a joke you know. But it does look like a tie fighter.
You can say it was the ISS, but if Earth is destroyed by the Death Star, you can’t blame the Star Wars Blog for not warn us.
Is it really a joke? Well I didn’t know that. But I never even knew there was a eclipse going on. It does look like a TIE Fighter except for the Hexagon shape wings. and I meant to say on my previous comment that I couldn’t tell it was a satellite.
That was no moon.
Clearly a satellite, but that is sooo awesome!
Ha, no worries guys, I knew you were kidding. It does look TIE-esque…
Perhaps it was retrofitted with a hyper drive….if not then we should be worried because the Empire is on it’s way to earth.
I agree it looks like a tie fighter but from space stuff in school I know its a satellite thingy but whats that other dot?
I think I saw the Falcon!
The Death Star was there, too!
That tie fighters to small to be on it’s own….Unless…Thats no moon….Thats a space station O_O
Creativity is awesome! It’s always a great thing to imagine and pretend its a tie fighter. Maybe the death star got blown up and darth vader is still hurtling into space trying to re-establish his troops and make secret plans for the reconstructed death star. Now its time to find our Ewok troops and prepare!
i think this is freaking awesome. my teacher said 2 write about a current event it could be about anything and when i saw this i new i would be writing about the TIE fighter in the sun eclipse.

I recently got back into Star Wars and when I learned it had a website (duh, really), I had to check it out. So I came, and what did I find? A TIE fighter. But something puzzles me. It’s too small to be on its own. Must have gotten lost… look, see? It’s heading torward that small moon… barely visible, must be far away… waitaminnit. That’s no moon. It’s a space station.
Uh-oh.
:3
thats a TIE fighter you guys, U R all so wrong.
People are either really gullible or a Stormtrooper decided to take a spin.
Looks like a satellite to me!
OMG CAN ANYONE SEE THIS IS SO A TIE FIGHTER WELL I CAN BUT IF THE WORLD BLOWS UP THAN I TOLD U SO
