| - TIE Pilot is a character that is playable in LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
- TIE Pilots were Imperial Pilots trained in piloting TIE series starfighters (such as TIE Fighters, Interceptors and Bombers).
- TIE pilots, also called Imperial pilots, TIE fighter pilots and "bucketheads" by Rebels, were the elite personnel in the Imperial Navy that were trained to pilot various spacecraft for the Galactic Empire. Trained at the Imperial Navy Training Center, about 40% of applicants passed training and became pilots. Others were simply reassigned to other roles, such as Navy troopers, gunners, and crewmen.
- TIE Pilots are the pilots of the Galactic Empire. They are also known as Imperial Pilots. They have black legs, torsos with a breathing and voice vocader, and helmets like a Stormtrooper's with two Empire symbols. They pilot Imperial TIE Fighters. They look just like the Stealth Troopers, who also are in black armour.
- TIE Pilots serve in the Imperial Navy primarily by piloting the various TIE-series starfighters, however they can be called upon to pilot other starfighters or vessels as necessity and training allow. They are known pejoratively as "bucketheads" by Rebel and Republic pilots, due to their bulky, fully enclosed helmets. Within the Imperial forces they are often called "coffin jockeys", due to the statistically high mortality rate of those manning the vulnerable TIE fighters.
- TIE pilots served in the Starfighter Corps of the Imperial Navy by piloting the various TIE Series starfighters. Distinguished by all-black flight suits and bulky, fully enclosed, vacuum-sealed helmets, the Galactic Empire at its height produced millions of TIE pilots and generally considered them expendable assets. The TIE pilots formed the elite of the Imperial Navy's Flight Branch.
