Of course, the Outland TIE Fighter also shares some obvious visual similarities with an equally famous Star Wars vehicle: the X-Wing, specifically the T-65 model used by the Rebellion during the Original Trilogy.
The end result is, admittedly, a little silly, but Reddit has already pointed out its near-identical look of this ship from an ILM portfolio of concept art for The Force Awakens. According to some sources, it was originally meant to be a bomber for the First Order. It's also been given four "feet," presumably to assist with landings. It has a standard "body" or pod shared by most TIE variants, but its two parallel wings have been folded out to become twin sets of V-shaped wings. It's called the Outland TIE Fighter, and it appeared with almost no fanfare as a graphic t-shirt design released on DesignByHumans. But The Mandalorian's latest model is a bit.

The TIE is also highly popular within the Star Wars universe, due to how cheap they are to mass-produce by a galaxy-spanning Empire, which accounts for how many different types we've seen over the years (and how easy they are to blow up). It is, after all, an iconic ship, both from a visual standpoint and an audible one its H-shaped profile is almost as well known as its screeching engines and green double-laser blasts, elements which have been mostly consistent in every model.
Nearly every Star Wars movie, TV show, or other visual medium (and plenty of books) have introduced new variants of the TIE Fighter, even in stories set before TIE Fighters technically existed. Enter the newest TIE Fighter to roll off the line in Star Wars canon, a ship which merges another familiar design to questionable results. The first live action Star Wars show to be produced, The Mandalorian has given us some truly interesting ship designs, like the title character's personal vessel the Razor Crest, but some of its ideas have been met with head-scratching online.
