TIE fighters don’t have hyperdrives though.

No, it’s a short range fighter.

The TIE Advanced did. Wrong wing shape for that though.

So this one is basically already complete. What a bargain!

Twin Ion Engine. There's no hyperdrive in there...

Must have gotten lost. Apart of a convoy or something.

Wait, are they called tie fighters because they look sort of like bow ties

It was alone, so it was certainly apart

When Lucas first sketched one out to give early collaborators a sense of what he wanted to make, he wrote "TIE" next to it without knowing what it would stand for (or so the story goes). Crew speculated that he'd already thought it looked a little like a bow tie and he hadn't found the right backronym yet; apparently concept artist Joe Johnston proposed "twin ion engine".

Sorry, I think you hallucinated something there. There is no first order. Episode 7? Legends cannon? What are you talking about?

If they did then disgruntled pilots might get ideas and not return to the star destroyer. Can’t have that, can we?

If starfighters work like aircraft, an engine swap should be easy and normal.

That might literally be their origin. Like the movie props that became well known as the TIE fighter shape, not their in universe origin.
