I think the era of planes is over now and we should replace them with
tie-fighters, because tie-fighters are much better than planes.

The problem is that most of our opponents are flying
conventional jet fighters within the atmosphere. As
we all saw last night on Battlestar, while the fighters
perform well in outer space, they don't do well in the
atmosphere. Fuel consumption is a big problem. Sometimes
it is more economical to be a little superior to your
enemy than to totally outclass them.
