Okay, my memory from my many, many days of playing "Tie Fighter" on the PC was
a little shaky, so I had to look it up on some websites. (But it was fun).
Vader's Tie was a "prototype" of sorts for what become the Tie Advanced. The
Interceptor was a completely different ship. The major differences (so I'm
told :] ) are that the Tie Advanced has shields, warhead launchers, and
hyperdrive, whereas the Interceptor has none of those..., all excluding custom
refits of course which came and went in the original series game. Vader's
Tie, and thus basically the Tie Advanced, is what is included in the 7150 Tie
Fighter and Y-Wing set.
Something I notice is that both the movie and 7150 seem to indicate Vader's
Tie only had 2 guns, whereas the Tie Advanced has 4, just like the Interceptor.
