I've changed "Y-Wing" to "Y-wing"

Ahh, good work!


"TIE Fighter" / "TIE fighter" is tougher to gauge, as both
www.starwars.com and the S@H catalog seem to have inconsistencies here.
It almost seems that for singular, the proper usage is "TIE Fighter",
and plural is "TIE fighters".

Hmm, probably because when it's singular it's most apt to appear in a title, as
in "TIE Fighter" being the name, whereas when it's plural it's most apt to
appear as an adjective-noun pair?


However, even www.starwars.com uses "TIE Fighter" as the title, then
"TIE fighter" in text.  I let S@H be the final word on that one.

Okie dokie.  Good work!
