This a Akira type beat and I’m all for it

Jubei Yagami

@d koz i used to root fer empire since original battlefront 1 and 2. The classes of troopers are interesting.

d koz

@Jubei Yagami That is becouse this anime humanized the TIE Fighter Corps pilots. It shows them as humans behind the helmet. StarWars does that to most antagonists. Either they are ugly, as Emperor Palpatine, or hideously deformed hidden behind helmet/mask, as for Vader, or unknown common cannon fodder as TIE pilots and StormTroppers, clones, and droid army .

Jubei Yagami

Ya know.....yer right....he animated a lot with 2s and not 1s, that gave it that eerie lifelike movement like what rotoscoped movies do. I mean the empire is bad but damn i root fer em when they show badassery like this lol

Leeroy Jenkins

@A .M I think you need to learn to read, I stated that asides from corruption and palpatine the empire did a lot of good, which is true they did.

A .M

Alot of folks dont seem to know real world inspirations for the Empire. Or even aware that the empire pro-human and nonhumans are second class citizens. Its also a tyrannical regime.

It makes as much sense to sanitize them as to make a series where Al qaida or ISIS are good and Americans bad.

A .M

@Graison Salinas there is no both sides on this. Thats some potical correctness BS. The Empire us very much wrong. A genocidal tyranny cannot be equal the rebels trying to end it.

A .M

@Da Trevmeister the rebels have always fought to social justice. Even in the originals.

A .M

@Leeroy Jenkins ehm.no. Have u watched Star wars at all ? Fitst of all Palpatine was the Empire. 2. The Empire was was racist/speciesist tyrannical regime. If you werent human and even then (it was a certain type of human) you were 2nd class at best. How is that good for the galaxy ? Unless ur human and even then all humans didnt side with the Empire. Which was based on several real life regimes.

Still prefer the original, I like the idea of adding Star Wars sounds and voices (weirdly they REMOVED a lot of the Tie Fighter sounds) to the short but 1) There's a lot of jank in the audio 2) The original was going for that 80's Gundam feel and it definitely accomplished that.

@john carl As iconic and absolutely GOATED the imperial class destroyer is, there's always something epic about gargantuan kilometers - long gothic battering ram spaceships with literal holy cathedrals in them. Same can be said about the UNSC ships from Halo too, they're literally giant fucking guns that are also spaceships.

@Le Spectator Heh, reminds me of a random reminiscence from a German Army Panzer commander who talked about fighting against Sherman tanks. He said something like "We could always beat them at 10 to 1 odds. The problem was every time there was an 11th."

rk6314

3y↑2

@SomeChickenSquid at the start of the war the Mitsubishi A6M was considered to be among the best carrier-based fighter planes. Deliberate Kamikaze missions (i.e. we're flying a suicide mission as effectively a guided bomb, vs. a last ditch collision with the enemy because I'm going down anyway) didn't happen until later in the war. The Japanese had lost most of their experienced fighter pilots at this point, and also the US Corsairs were being made in large numbers at this point and they were better planes than the Zero. The entire Japanese strategy was to quickly take the US out of the war so they had time to consolidate their gains and they didn't really have a strategy for winning in a protracted war.

I'm no expert, BTW, I just have a huge interest in the Kamikaze attacks because my grandfather was a fireman on the USS Suwannee in World War II and it was one of the first US ships to suffer a hit from the earliest deliberate suicide attacks. I never talked to him about it, but I've read a lot of accounts of that battle, I would guess my grandpa saw some shit.

Mate Tie fighters have no shields, no torpedos, no hyperdrive, and aren't even vacuum sealed so their pilots have to wear space suits.
Ties are outclassed by every fighter in the rebel navy. The rebels one the war because they amassed a large supply of actually decent fighters. As soon as the second death star was destroyed and the republic was restored, it was over for the imps

Flare's Apostle [1st of the Twelve]

There is likely a number of reasons, but I'd wager it comes down to two things: Two many hands in the pot and trying to please everyone instead of just telling a story based on it's own merits. Consider, most movies these days are much less about being an art piece or a story, but a calculated money making machine. This isn't always a horrible thing, as sometimes some fun stuff can come out of it but it sure stints risk taking and bold choices. Some risks are taken and some choices made but often the more interesting ones are left behind. To a lesser degree, I personally think that there is a "good old boy" system in Hollywood that has generated an issue where many people are in the industry are there because they know someone, not because they are genuinely talented or the best person for the job.

In the end, I'm just grateful for artistic fans who are able to convey their vision of something they love to others in such a compelling fashion.

theycallme_handy

@Pokka4 The fact that you had "Disney" and "portray story" in the same sentence is hilarious. But sure, not sure what reality you live in but it's not how everyone else sees it. I just don't agree with your statement of Disney having any available talents to create story as much as it did in the glory days. Now it's a money grabbing business with subpar entertainment that demands people to bail them out after they come out with something when no one wanted what they put out.

This is what happens when the rebels forget to bring main characters with them. Their plot armor drops to about 4%

Sheldon Strahl

@Peregrine Knight I usually mention that scene in defending the combat effectiveness of Imperial Stormtroopers, and it's the standard I use for their martial prowess. Furthermore, in storytelling terms, that example precedes General Kenobi telling Luke about the precision of Imperial Stormtroopers and sets up the later reveal that the escape from the Death Star was only possible because it was allowed on purpose. Just recently I've been thinking that the escape from Cloud City would have been better if some of Lando's security guards had stayed to defend the group only to be mowed down by Stormtroopers; that addition would have made the situation seem more desperate and kept the appearance of Stormtroopers as a deadly competent threat.

The excuse of animation nowadays is that it takes a lot of time to make animation such as this or the equivalent of the original variant of this animation.

Flare's Apostle [1st of the Twelve]

@Mior Akif I think it would be neat to see a stormtrooper perspective where they see the rebels as a nuisance that are trying to topple a functioning government. Perhaps they learn of the darker side of the empire along the way. or not, either way it would be neat to see a functioning empire story.

This should be called ”When Star Wars doesn’t have plot armor”

Worm-revolver

I remember reading something that explained why they were able to get away so many times. Like in the first movie they needed to let them escape so they could be led to the Rebel base. The second they had luck on Hoth and, basically an emp canon to disable the Empires ships. Han had knowledge of the workings of Empire fleets allowing him to predict their movements and patterns to escape. They also wanted the Millennium Falcon to escape to make a trap for Luke. The escape at the end was because Lando created such such an uproar in Bespin the Stormtroopers were too distracted by the mass evacuation, and Vader's inaction while trying to contact Luke let them escape. In the third film, they got through Jabba's palace with a carefully constructed plan with the foresight of a Jedi Knight, remember Jedi and Sith can see the future ... sometimes. Then on Endor, it was because the Emperor wanted them to think they had won to launch his trap to break Luke. The only reason Han and Lea didn't die was because they stayed in cover away from most of the fighting, and the Ewoks were able to take down both the Rebels and the Empire, they are formidable warriors. Lando survived and so did Wedge because they were great pilots and the Millennium Falcon was a powerhouse equiped with stolen Empire technologies.

This short is just one of the many battles between the Empire and the Rebels. I remember one of my friends saying Luke died because the guy with R2-D2 croaked. But the R-Series droids are standard astromech droids and it stands to reason that more than one pilot would have the same/similar model with the same/similar paint job.

@098765 Craper Will do, always glad for old "new" SW books.

RyanEX2000

@098765 Craper My memory of the original Tie lore is that the ships were so cheap to mass produce that pilots were given training, yes, but not enough to be considered "elite" since they were expected to get shot down and the pilots replaced. Things like how the rules of engagement for Tie pilots engaging Rebel pilots was for it to be 3 to 1 in favor of the Ties and like how just to be able to get into Tie Avenger training was to survive fifteen sorties in a standard Tie.

Now Tie Avenger, Defender pilots and Gunboat/Missile Boat pilots...those got extensive extra training to be called the "elite".

RyanEX2000

@098765 Craper Sounds like you're using Disney Star Wars lore.

RyanEX2000

@098765 Craper Again, no they weren't or rather it was on a pilot to pilot basis. The Empire expected it's pilots to die but didn't care since they had a galaxy to draw on. Only pilots that showed actual promise were given proper training and access to superior ships.

As for better weapons...the Rebels were on borrowed time. The Empire was learning hence the development of the Gunboat, Tie Avenger, Defender, etc. The improved Tie Avenger was, alone, faster and more maneuverable than an A-wing and with comparable/superior weaponry to an X-wing. If the war had dragged on the Rebels would've lost eventually.

Loved it, amazingly well done. Bravo, Paul Johnson, bravo.

John Travolta

This is so beautiful, every detail so well done. More durable rebel starfighters vs more maneuverable tie fighters, y-wings more powerful than x-wings, the fact the rebels targeted the interdictor in order to jump to hyperspace even though this wasn't told outright. Many potential nitpick details and they're all correct...really puts disney's sham to shame.

Also, did you use rotoscoping to capture the movement of imperial pilots running to their starfighters?

Love how the helmets become transparent so that you can see the pilots faces.

Bruh

@SPANISH AVENGER you see the helmets are neccesary if you want to survive if your fighter gets a hole

JustAnotherAsian

SPANISH AVENGER TIE fighters don’t have life support but they are pressurized and air tight, meaning a pilot could survive without the helmet for a few minutes before passing out

Awesome job. I tried at the same a while back when this had an rock music track accompanying it.
I re-edited the original footage and sound with an original track i created and added sfx to a few sections of the footage. This is way more improved. Respect to you and the originators of the animation.

Wow I love the view of the pilots inside the masks. that's a great detail. How am I just seeing this?!

Amazing.A truly strong set of "villains" which is humanized just by showing us their faces and them a slight bit of fear. This shows how incesibly underpowered the rebellion is compared to the Empire. All in a 7 minute video eith minimal dialouge.

Huh... looks like I missed something, cause I just saw fascist maniacs killing freedom fighters with sadistic grins on their faces.

Milan Stevic

and for the whole time, the applied visual rhetorics is exactly what I would call an evolved portrayal of the ww2.
this is the key to Star Wars duality, as it plays with the human side of the antagonism, turning its characters into something more than just letting them be villains -- ones that a viewer could identify with -- but without evoking any historical context in the process.

I can clearly see where he gets his inspiration from with his drawing and animation style. I can almost hear Minmay singing in the background, "Kyun Kyun, KYUN KYUN~~~~ My boyfriend is a Tie Fighter PILOTO~~~~" Heheh, nevertheless I am very impressed of what he managed to accomplish by himself.

Benjamin Radin

Honestly I love how they're portrayed as having nerves of steel, it's a pretty stark contrast to the cocky wisecracking pilots we're used to.

Héctor Andrés

@VibingWithTheWind the empire and the rebels in these movies remind me of the Roman Empire (pretty sure they got inspired by those). And if we remember correctly, the Roman Empire had many effective tactics towards many different types of attacks (even if they weren't 100% effective) so no wonder why these guys kicked ass against these puny rebels...

TripBitShooter

@Joseph Hughes yep, it is. Now the current Disney trilogy feels like a copy of the original trilogy but with different characters. I'll always prefer the original Legends expanded universe that existed way before Disney took over. Read all the books and absolutely loved it.

This is where Star Wars lives on: Not with Disney, but in the heart of the fans.

@Excelsior Not just that. Lucas himself has come out against the sequel trilogy of late. Too some of the actors are rebelling, even going so far as to declare they want nothing further to do with the franchise. Abysmal toy sales have driven entire store chains out of business. Disney can't even make a theme park about Star Wars, turn a profit.

All this and other sundry factors taken together, and one cannot be optimistic about the future of Star Wars in Disney's hands. No, it will he the fans who carry it, with or without the blessings of Lucas arts, or even Lucas himself.

Sword Breaker

@Excelsior You haven't been paying attention.

Agreed. Disney lacks a true understanding of what makes Star Wars great, all that matters to them is a quick cash grab.

@Backfromthedeadguy "Disney turned the Stormtroopers into competent and intimidating soldiers, while under Lucas they couldn't hit the broadside of a barn "

Only when shooting at the main characters. Against nameless grunts (eg the Tantive IV boarding party) their aim was just fine

Devil's Lair Comics

You DO know that George Lucas also made them look incredibly incompetent as well, right?

Nick Douglas

in Rogue one they manage to seem like a military. And Vader destroying the fleet is pretty much intimidating.

Having been a huge fan of the TIE Fighter game series I find this to be incredibly satisfying to watch. Also the little combat utility vehicle! (or was it a tug), haha I loved that detail. In honor of that little thing to this day if I'm playing a game where I can name my ships (such as Total War: Empire for example) I'll often name one Resupply.

It is the first time I have seen an animation of StarWars Anime version, and those who have been in charge of this project have the wrong vision of something, they focus on the faces of the Troopers, which nobody is interested in because they are Clones, Any StarWars fan is least interested in knowing the identity of a Tai Figther pilot.
