A little from column A, a little from column B.

There are some models with joints that I found extremely difficult to make solid. Maybe I just missed a good way to do it, or maybe they were just poor joints. Either way, my TIE fighter has wiggly wings.

The Star Destroyer, however, is solid as a brick. The AT-AT and Millennium Falcon are almost as good.

It's also a function of how solid the eventual shape is. The Star Destroyer is very solid and angular, so it's got an inherent advantage. The TIE is a hard design to do; I just don't think they sufficiently overcame that difficulty.
