Much like the vessel the 100% cotton Star Wars TIE Fighter Ringer T-Shirt is based off this great shirt does not come with a deflector shield. You are just suppose to use your own agility to avoid turbolaser fire! Just throw out a couple of tires on their sides in a row and run up and down them...you'll get awfully good awfully fast with the ducking and a weaving. Also you'll need to make your own sound effect up to accompany the Star Wars TIE Fighter Ringer T-Shirt but you got that covered right?
