A short Star Wars animation, focused on the Empire, drawn and shaded in the style of classic '80s anime. Empire and rebel forces engage in a frantic all-or-nothing dogfight in space, but the Empire has 3 Tie Fighter aces up its sleeve.
Paul “OtaKing†Johnson drops a real treat in the form of this “Star Wars: TIE Fighter†animated short. Complete with appropriately radical electric guitar solos and impressive attention to detail, “TIE Fighter†casts the forces of the Galactic Empire not in the role of disposable cannon fodder seen in the Star Wars films, but as near-suicidally reckless angels of death. Johnson animated this 7-minute short over the course of “four years’ worth of weekends,†and his love and attention-to-detail shows.
