GREAT catches on the Dagobah thing, though, everybody. Obviously I didn't remember, and it occurs to me that most of you all did immediately.

I guess the glowing was to show it had stored energy, but that's beside the point. The droid did need to recharge.

That would have applied to the TIE fighters. Or maybe it is some coolant. Hmmm .. I seem to recall the pilots carry a pack / suitcase thingie connected to their suit? Anyone remember that? One thing for sure, the TIE fighter pilots had sealed helmets while the Rebel pilots didn't, so more oxygen and power is probably needed to maintain the required atmospheric consider in the fighters for the Rebels compared to the Imperial TIE fighters. Again the Imperial Navy again wins the green card there. You missed out the oh-so-green TIE fighters with their HUGE pane of solarpanels that serves to drive its Twin-Ion-Engines! :)

My memory is pretty bad, but I think that was part of Lando's mining operation on Cloud City. I believe they put Tibanna gas in the engines if I’m not mistaken.
