The game features the TIE Interceptor prominently in early missions and also depicts several TIE Advanced fighters attacking the player at the Battle of Yavin. In Star Wars canon, the TIE Interceptor was a prototype designed after Yavin, specifically to deal with Rebel starfighter attacks on larger ships and stations like the Death Star, while the TIE Advanced was Darth Vader's personal unique ship and was not mass produced until well after the events shown in the Star Wars film.
