If you're the ambitious type, you could always get out an XWing mission
editor to examine the XWing missions in detail, then get a TIE editor
to re-create them in that game.  There's a couple of different patches
around that let you fly Rebel craft in TIE, so that part would be easy.
The Death Star surface missions would be impossible, though, unless TIE's
engine has capabilities LA hasn't told us about :).  Also, the dumbed-
down TIE Bombers in TIE might be a problem.

But I'm not ambitious, so I won't be doing it :).
