It's not very often Star Wars is told from the Empire's perspective, which is what makes this animated short from animator Paul Johnson that much better, strapping us into the cockpit of a TIE Fighter during a heated space battle with the rebel scum. Drawn in the style of 80's anime (which looks absolutely gorgeous), Star Wars: TIE Fighter has existed in several shorter iterations since Johnson began working on over four years ago, but here it is now in all its glory.
No doubt, people will be clamouring for more of the same, but it seems Johnson only envisions this as a one time thing, saying:
Don't support me on Patreon, because I don't have one! And don't donate to my Kickstarter, because I don't have one of those either. Instead, if you enjoyed this, give someone at your workplace, uni, school or whatever a random bar of chocolate or can or Coke or something. Seriously, it'll probably make their day. That would totally make my day.
Whether or not you're planning on giving someone some chocolate or a can of Coke, be sure to take some time out this absolutely spectacular short. You will not be disappointed.
