The STAR WARS Anime You Never Knew You Needed
Check out this meticulously crafted, fan-made Star Wars anime that captures the essence of TIE fighting in classic anime style. The twist is that the anime short imagines the Star Wars conflict from the perspective of Empire supporters.
This Star Wars anime is a true labor of love as it took animator Paul Johnson four years, working nights and weekends to complete. Zak Rahman supplies the music while Joseph Leyva handled sound effects and audio. If you have seven minutes to spare, check it out and keep the conversation going in the comment section below.
Official Synopsis from Johnson: What if there was an Empire-focussed short Star Wars animation, drawn with the crazy detail and shading of classic 80s anime that's all but vanished from Japan nowadays? Well, I tried my best. Apologies in advance for not living up to Venus Wars standards. Drawn and animated by yours truly over 4 years' worth of weekends, with music by the living guitar solo Zak Rahman and sound design by up and coming audio technician Joseph Leyva. Fans of Lucasarts' seminal 1994 TIE Fighter game may notice a few familiar sights and sounds. That “incoming missile” noise gives me horrible flashbacks to this day...
