Unwilling to surrender, the pilot goes dark to escape notice. One X-Wing pilot gives him a second look and a dogfight ensues. You can watch the short above. The official description reads, "The Empire's retreat after a surprise attack marks yet another stumble in the wake of the second Death Star's destruction. But for one member of Titan Squadron, the battle is far from over. Squadron Leader Varko Grey finds himself as the last TIE pilot on the battlefield, hunted relentlessly by a renegade New Republic X-wing in this standalone STAR WARS: Squadrons story." -Jamie Lovett
