   The Star Wars universe has shields, but the Imperial TIE fighters don't -   
   they were left out of the design to make the ships lighter and faster, they   
   instead bet on sheer numbers. I think the Star Destroyers do though because   
   they were using them when going through the asteroid field in TESB.
