I am looking for any behind the scenes Tie pilot pictures for a project...specificly, I need to see if there is any photographic evidence of the third chestbox hose appearing in ANH. Any help would be much appriciated! Maybe a higher res or different pic of this series? Thanks!

The scene with them running down the corridors has the hose, iirc... not sure we ever get to see more than the helmet in the TIE scenes. Will check.

I can't find the shot for the life of me, but there is a similar shot of Vader in his TIE fighter. You'll notice similar black ribbed tubing running from the controls to the console. There was at least one large tube and a pair of smaller tubes (perhaps trigger controls, as they run from the controls' hand units to the console.)

That's not saying the TIE pilot didn't have a third tube, but it's easy to mistake the controls' tube for the TIE pilot's.

Man.... as I look at that cockpit, I can't help but feel the design was way ahead of its time. :thumbsup
