Nej. Vaders Tie-Advanced kom inte fram i The Empire Strikes Back, men det gjorde ett kort utseende i filmens Junior Novelisation .
During the Battle of Yavin, Sith Lord Darth Vader piloted his own Imperial TIE fighter to defend the Death Star space station against a Rebel Alliance assault. While engaged in a dogfight with an X-wing starfighter, he sensed the enemy pilot was strong with the Force. Vader was about to fire upon the X-wing when he and his two wingmen were attacked by a Corellian YT-1300 transport. Vader survived, but his damaged TIE fighter went spinning out of control. Seconds later, the Death Star was blown into a billion pieces.
After Darth Vader brought his crippled spacecraft to an Imperial outpost, he began his investigation. He did not have to identify the Corellian transport. He’d seen it before, when it had been captured by a Death Star tractor beam and deposited in hangar 3207.
Vi ser det också i den nya Marvel comic serien Darth Vader # 002 (inställd mellan händelserna i A New Hope och Empire Strikes Back) där vi lär oss att den Vader har använt Super Star Destroyer ' Annihilator "som sin bas av verksamheten.
