The T-85 was launched almost 30 years after the T-65, but in a hypothetical scenario in which the main rebel starfighter was the T-85, how different would the galactic civil war have been?
The T-65Bs were already superior to the standard TIE models, so the inclusion of T-85s surely would’ve reduced the number of Rebel casualties. Beyond that, I really can’t imagine them drastically altering the war.
