The only downside with the whole TIE series is the fact that Mr Meadows is years behind in the terms of fashion.
People wearing Harringtons in 1988? 1988 was the start of the whole acid house rave thing. Why was the trailer to TIE 88 featuring a song that charted in 1984?
If he is going to persist in putting years in the title then he needs to research it a bit better.
I also feel he would have been better making TIE 86 & 88 films - i.e. 90 mins long instead of a long slow build up
