I'm sharing it. Reminds me of Heavy Metal movie style and the Star Wars TIE-in makes it that much sweeter.

Wow. 7 Minutes of great video and music.

I'm blown-away.

Breja: Anime. Bleh. I guess it is very impressive for one person's work, but I can't stand anime, not even for 7 minutes, not for one.
I was just thinking how much it looks like Heavy Metal (without boobies):

Which was not a bad thing at all.

Then again I am unsure what is the correct definition for "anime". I'm mainly thinking of Japanese animations with big eyes and such.

I guess when you look at this video you'll see where at least some of the inspiration came from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpnL-6BytnE Video creator OtaKing mentioned the anime in the video description.

Don't forget to check out the additional material:

ShadowOwl: Amazing piece of animation work right here:

There's already a thread in the TIE-Fighter sub forum but I think this video deserves a bigger audience. Already knew the short and unfinished 2 minute version but to see this finished 7 minute film is just stunning. I cannot imagine how much work must have gone into making this thing.
Holy cow, he finished it. Thanks for pointing us to it. Looking forward to watching the finished form.
Oh, still a couple of missions to do in Tie Fighter. Damn hard and exhausting missions. Battle 12 (Prelude to Endor) Mission 5 makes me mad that I can't have both the weapon jammer and the tractor beam on my Tie Advanced at the same time.

Without weapon jammer, I'm screwed with those heavy transports that try to destroy the base.

Without the tractor beam, fighting those pesky Tie Defenders becomes quite hard, almost a matter of luck. If you don't destroy them, sooner or later they'll be on your tail constantly, sending rockets at you.
Star Wars meets Venus Wars, with some Macross. Me like :)

You're right. It needs more boobs.
Nah.

I'd match a Y-Wing squadron against a TIE Defender squadron, any day.

Anyone but me recognize how this vid would be a kick-ass story board for CGI? Damn.

I'm simple, I thought the vid was cool.

Wishbone: Extremely well made. Unfortunately I detest the style.

Not to forcibly gloat any of these down your throats, but they're extremely worth your time to watch even if you hate the style.
impressive most impressive.

Enjoyed the style of the video although did think the rebel fighters blew up too quickly.

Twas from the TIE Fighter perspective, yes?
Thanks for sharing. Wow! Impressive work! I watched it like it's a regular episode of a series.
Embrace the Dark Side!!
I enjoyed looking around at all the Star Destroyer types I recognized. Those ISD's with the half-globes on them. Interdictor types, generators of gravity wells that kept star fighters from entering hyperspace.

And the Super Star Destroyer was cool, also.
better than all the recent SW animated series. We need a proper imperial perspective show!
Heard it all before. Two of my close friends are big fans of this stuff, and tried to convince me. But they can't. Because it's not that I think all anime must be shit, it's just that I literally can't stand looking at it. Makes me want to puke. And with all the great stuff I've still got left to see that does not make me feel like vomiting, I feel little need to force myself through whatever anime masterpiece anyone recommends.
