TIE Fighter - short film 

Just to let you know, this video is one of my absolute favorite videos ever, I can't help but smile the whole time that I watch it. Never stop doing what you are doing please, and make more of these if you can. Galactic Empire all the way!

This is one of those essential vids online that a geek has to rewatch ^^ Never gets old :)

What the fuck, leave your gay bullshit opinion outta quality YT content next time.

bloody awesome. did you do that one doctor who short?

Great to finally see the good guys win.

Yeah but normally the rebels had mc80's with them and those could take on star destroyers head on like in the battle of endor.

Ethanoux I dunno what you're even talking about

Ethanoux Nah, I'm good, I really don't care what it is, maybe it could 1v1 a star destroyer, but the Empire is never going to play it fair and fight the Rebellion with anything other then as much overwhelming force as it can bring to bear Which was kind of my entire point, the Rebels are CONSTANTLY outnumbered and outgunned

Only an idiot "plays it fair" in warfare. The goal is to eliminate the enemy's capability to conduct warfare while ensuring your own capability is minimally affected.

+Stephen Lamp what about honor!

Bob Costas indeed. He is a loyal imperial citizen

This is basically "What if the Empire was competent?"

Destroyer2150 actually this Is the realistic result. Imperials were extremely competent but we rarely get to see that side of them. An average imperial soldier or pilot was much more skilled than their rebel counterparts. Also sorry if something posted similar, WiFi and RU-vid both have problems

Dues Caymania RU-vid auto deleted your comment because you used a certain term or string of words which activated the auto censorship. Authoritarian, isnt it? Glad you got past the censors.

Bob Costas yeah I figured. Only thing I said that would reasonably set it off was rebel scum. Maybe youtube is against the glory of the empire

This 80s star wars anime is far better than all 3 recent star wars movies combined 😂😂😂

@@user-gq8ee5ih3tyeah definitely not a bot pasting the same text under a lot of comments

I still come back to watch it on a regular basis. The attention to detail is amazing, I like looking at the inside of the Tie Fighters lol.

​@@user-gq8ee5ih3t Can this russian bots please stop spamming in the comment section of such beautiful Videos? Better use ur resources for your lunar program 😂

That's because they're a woke-arse trash company. George should've kept everything.

Even better, he played a lot of TIE Fighter, the 90's flight sim game where you play as an Imperial fighter pilot (2nd game in the X-Wing series). This is just *full* of nods back to that game. The pilot ready room map display, the cockpit displays, all of them straight out of the X-Wing and TIE Fighter games.

I believe the saying was “your average tie jockey is stupid, your average interceptor pilot’s suicidal, but the defender jockeys? They’re stupid *and* suicidal, that’s what makes them so dangerous”

Yeah, it rewards people who flipped through the books an articles on different ships and weapons. Loved seeing the Interdictor-class and how it gave context to the battle. Also how the admiral switched tactics and fired the ion cannons to disable the transport. Great stuff.

@@FloofMother I thought that was the Tie Advanced/Avenger jockeys. Since the Defender didn't really have much of a showing.

@@RyanEX2000 it might have been avenger, but I might have to open my new essential guide to see the quote again, I could have sworn it was defender though

Yep

Absolutley right!

Well rebel ships were superior in design like how tie fighters, interceptors, and bombers didn’t have shields along with Star destroyers overly exposed shield generators. Pair this with the fact that Tarkin one of the empires best was killed. Also grand admiral thrawn didn’t lead many battles until after Endor.

Three star destroyers worth of Tie's VS some fighters and bombers, transport ships and a medical ship.Outcome might have been different if they fought against Mon Calamari ships, especially MC80 Home One class cruisers.

@@engandaus8815 Plus: the Alliance had brought together the absolute elite of fighter pilots from all over the galaxy. Not that the imperial academies did not produce excellent fighters, too, but for the empire it was quantity over quality - generally speaking a poor choice in counterinsurgency warfare. Besides: the Alliance did their very best to prevent open encounters like this at all cost. The battles of Yavin IV and Endor were absolute exceptions to their method of warfare.

Yeah

They made The Empire Strikes Back and Revenge of the Sith, which those two movies about the bad guys won. Despite all of this, Disney refuse to cancelled Star Wars.

LOL

@@AnimationFanboy2k4 Empire Strikes Back and Revenge were made YEARS before Diznee clawed their evil dirty paws at Lucasfilms.

@@AnimationFanboy2k4 buddy 4,5,6 were made before 1,2,3 Disney helped make 1,2,3 not 4,5,6

Didn't the TIEs have shields in the Tie Fighter games? It's been decades but I thought I remember being able to switch shields around to double-front like they mention in A New Hope.

@@ShonanMiura Pretty sure in lore at least, basic Tie fighters dont. disposable mass produced sort of idea.

Most TIEs did not have shields. They are too heavy and slow it down. The best advantage a TIE has is it's speed. @@ShonanMiura

​@@Cynddelwyup the rebels had nothing to match the ties speed so after the first death star they was forced to develop a wings to compete

They true imperials

They better not

That's what I hate about Disney. The Rebels wouldn't become a stormtrooper The stormtroopers wouldn't become a rebel

well, in the lore the rebels have uper hand in star fighters and strike crafts, which here is not accurate.

@@USERZ123XD but their pilots are bunch of farmers while the Empire has the elite of the elite. Who do you think performs better on the streets? A professional racist in a multipla or an old lady in a ferrari?

@@sandsundertail6936 "professional racist" 😆. I think you mean to say racer. But the rebel pilots are trained. And because the rebel doesn't have the numbers like empire, the rebel definitely goes for quality over quantities. While the empire is explicitly stated in the lore of star war see their pilots as fodder units that is why they gave them the crappy tie fighters. Where they don't have shield nor hyper drive.

@@sandsundertail6936 Elite of the elite? Where did you get that? Vader is choking them out like they disposable. They have the worst leadership, look at how they performed at Endor.

2022 now, and it still is

That orders were being followed, ships were utilized effectively, and shields and other devices were not infallible. And the Star Destroyer Commander simply knew he had the Alliance Fleet outgunned and outmatched. But the Alliance for what they did have, gave a good accounting of themselves and put up a small, but capable fight. Had it been a main line Alliance Fleet with top of the line Mon Calamari Cruisers, it might have gone either much different, or the Imperial Detachment fighting might have taken FAR heavier losses.

the imperial fighters in generals are doing way too much, the tie fighters were notoriously bad in the lore of star Wars.

​@@USERZ123XDthey're actually pretty good, they just don't have shields or hyperdrives

@@leonrussell9607 To note, tie fighters are far more maneuverable, and it doesn't matter if you can take a shot if that shot can't hit you to begin with.

Yeah. Ada, she’s seemingly on the crazy side but with the skill to back it up.

That TIEussy got me questionin' my loyalty to the Alliance.

Star Wars Visions is cool and all, but be honest. This 7 minute anime animated short is literally the best shit ever!

There's just so much of an extended universe that many of us older fans grew up on that they could try different things aimed at different audiences and see what sticks, a few movies and series is, honestly, just barely scratching the surface. Having just gone to Disneyland, what they have is cool, and very entertaining, but it feels like such a missed opportunity considering the rich gaming legacy they have. As someone who spent many hours playing the TIE Fighter game, I would have happily flown a TIE fighter/bomber/interceptor or done some other piloting for the Imperial Navy if there was an experience like that over there.

Would you really trust Disney at this point to do an anime series right?

@@zeroelus I'm still sad that they trashed the extended universe for the current startwars movies there was so much good stuff in there

@@TWEAKLET Yeah so much good stuff in there and they just threw it out. Which sucks since, IMO, there's some really good moments in "modern" Star Wars and if they built off that it could work, for proof I say look at said good moments, they're related to the old characters: The battle of Scariff and *that* boarding scene with Vader in Rogue One, the moments Darth Vader shows up in the Obi Wan series, either to wrestle a ship with just pure force or his last battle with Obi-Wan. There's some real good moments in there, but critically, nothing related to the new characters. And of the rides I mentioned over at Disneyland, the one we enjoyed more as a family was piloting the Millennium Falcon, going back to the point that I come back to watch this video based on my time playing TIE Fighter, on the Force Awakens ride when you're "captured" by the Imperials...I felt at home at the Imperial ship and was so happy to see all the storm troopers and TIE Fighters wizzing around. I wanted to stay there, that was the highlight of the ride for me, not seeing the new character's animatronics or what not. I have 2 young girls for whom Rey is squarely aimed at. After their experience in Disneyland, my girls only care about hanging out with Chewie and want to meet Leia, they know Rey exists but that's about it. That tells you all you need to know about the modern Star Wars Universe.

This is what the actual result would be. The rebel are outclassed in terms of personnel and weaponry. The bulk of the rebels are made up by new recruits rather than seasoned veterans. In comparison the empire have clone soldiers that constantly mobilized to fight all around the galaxy.

Kulaks Metis Most rebels weren’t even military defectors, almost all were criminals, smugglers and other bad being who usually fought just for the free shit, since they could leave whenever they wanted.

@@ggurwlcom420 yeah but they’re more maneuverable which the empire lacked. Although in any real battle this animation would be the canon result

The Empire is a bloated military system that breeds incompetence and stagnation, it's just that when you have overwhelming power the flaws in your strategy don't much matter

@@hoovyzepoot oh please. Every evil regime will and always have incompetent leaders that refuse to cooperate correctly in very extreme situations. The Empire had decent leaders that were just killed off or left forgotten

which is why Grand Admiral Thrawn is probably the single most scary person in star wars from a strategic stand point

It's better than the main characters not wearing helmets at all

We need more huds with a face!

Indeed. It's pretty much Iron Man and nothing else.

its a well used technique in classic anime from the 80s

Yeah that was seriously cool, shows they're people and not just soulless cannon fodder.

Can you do this for the Xwing dude too please?

@@dsdy1205 you mean luke Skywalker and R2-D2?

@@dsdy1205 The one who got shot down? Sure. I see him as a guy who joined the Rebellion out of boredom, volunteered to become a fighter pilot as a way to impress the ladies, and managed to survive just long enough to become a pretty good flyboy but not good enough to survive very long.

The fleet commander is Commander Gaunt. There isn't much known about his past, except that he quickly became best pal with Tarkin, because they share the same political and strategic idea. He is a very competent officer, that always use the same tactic, that is so efficient it work everytime (probe possible rebels hideout, wait for month until one is spotted, jump on it, send waves of TIE while interdictor stop ay ship to jump outta there and force the ennemy to fight or surrender). He love fruit, offer fruit basket to his subordinate, is terrible with a blaster, but deadly with his fist and his basically an anime character when he give an order. The TIE pilot is petty officer Neel that is fresh (1 years) out the flight academy. He is a hotshot pilot that profit from the law regulation of the outer rim to grow his out of fashion sideburns. He is a Gaunt fanboy, because Gaunt don't use his TIE like canon fodder, which give him better chance to survive any battle and his biggest fear is some fighter landing a lucky hit on the bridge. He has a crush on the TIE bomber pilot (but she don't realise it). He ask to much question in briefing, despise A-wing (because they keep blowing his ass in the simulator) and has 20 confirmed kill. The TIE bomber pilot is flight lieutenant Ada. She is generally laid back, but she is a total bomber craft nutjob (she even has bomber miniatures in her room). If someone talk shit about the TIE bomber, she'll go full berserk. She is also the only known bomber pilot to fly her bomber like if it was an agile interceptor. She got her scar by hurting herself opening a closet, but keep it and pretend it was during a skirmish against 12 x-wings. She keep pushing for having custom stuff on her bomber and, with Neel's antics, she is basically the nightmare of the flight boss. Also, someone keep sending her chocolate boxes (Neel). The TIE interceptor pilot is wing commander Rosh. He was a merc before joing the imperial navy. He is probably the best pilot on the fleet, but he generally prefer to keep his tought for himself. People are constantly asking him for tips, but he just give very basic stuff like "don't get shot". He is the dude that got the most fruit from Gaunt and people don't seem to memorize his name That's from the official character chart from the vid.

@@johnwotek3816 Thank you for that quote. "Don't get shot." -Commander Rosh, ace pilot in the imperial navy, circa 19 bby to 4 aby. Thank you for your incredible words of wisdom.

@@mikapoful Fans don't ruin Star Wars just because they complain. If someone doesn't like something that doesn't mean "Oh yeah they're the cause of the problem", clearly what they're complaining about is the reason for their complaints in the first place.

​@@esorkgonzalez2262 I did not mean that. I meant that they ruin it for themselves by looking for things to hate about new movies. There is nothing wrong about telling your own opinion. I don't really like that people complaining about Disney in video that has nothing to do with Disney. It's a little annoying for me.

Actually 3 the music and part of the animation was made by other guys. But yes

It shows what merit, TALENT, and passion can create, you can have millions of dollars like Disney but if that isn't spent wisely it means next to nothing in terms of quality.

Very true but it's also worth noting this took four years to make and it must have been hard on him because he so far hasn't made another. This is a fantastic video and I've watched it multiple times but still, four years for seven minutes of content isn't exactly what you'd call efficient. Sure, it'd be great if the official creators could put stuff of this quality out but it would take even a dedicated team AGES to make something like this but at a length fans would find acceptable.

@@Goldenkitten1 Well, with more than one man, obviously better tech, money and time used efficiently, we could get wonders like these longer than 7 minutes in maximum of 2 years

@@steel.9714 Of course, but then you're looking at value return. Would the number of people interested in something like this number high enough for Disney to give a shit and put a team on. So likely they'll either not do it at all or if they do, do it put as little funding as possible since there's no empirical evidence something like this would do well. Closest we may ever get to it is the Visions anthology. I'd love if one of them could be adapted into a whole series but I won't hold my breath.

Shit get disney to reboot xwing vs tie fighter and have him animate things for the back story!

Well, TIE-bomber quite agile for his class, and barrage of guuided missiles is really good argument against shield-leaning opponents. This could well become a mass tactic.

Look, if only Thrawn didn't disappear during the Liberation of Lothal, the TIE Defenders will soon replace the shitty regular TIE Fighters. The TIE Defenders has shield as strong as TIE Bombers, but as fast as TIE Interceptors. Basically that's like the Empire now has it own A-Wing starfighters, instead of a bunch of annoying space mosquitoes without hyperdrive and proper shield

@@theasianboy315 Actually I'm pretty sure that tie fighters weren't all that bad. Sure they had their faults, but the fact that tie fighters did not have shields was in a way also a plus. It trained imperial pilots to simply not get hit. Which made the average imperial tie pilot one of the best in the galaxy. Correct me if I'm wrong

@@Foundation_Specialist the empire will call anything elite if it works for them in a lot of cases elite soldiers are just glorified Stormtroopers or regular Storm troopers for that matter

@@Foundation_Specialist also the ties themselves were pretty bad compared to the x-wings and most other ships in the history of Star Wars. The pilots had to compensate somewhat but that did not make them anywhere near best in the galaxy. That would discount general/admiral/captain syndulla who has a really tricked out ship but is still one of the best in the Galaxy regardless. Tie pilots are not on her level

Yes does ship is not what a regular fleet whould have and it is my headcanon that only the best could comand a fleet whit interdictors

This comment just makes me sad because if I understand Disney cannon correctly the entire concept of an Interdictor no longer works.

Whether it's star wars or not doesn't change the fact that you can brilliantly animate in that kickass 80's anime style.

Well, to an extent, but you respect the source material and capture its essence. Both in the Star Wars franchise and in the 80s Anime aesthetic. The action direction was fluid with dynamic camera angles. For and grand space dogfight, the action wasn't too confusing. You camera track the action fair well with sweeping and panning transitions. Whereas a lot of modern jump cut action direction can make a confusing fight with only 2 people.

Another one pls ? But instead of a space location somewhere that does not include flying spaceships? please ?

Is there also some way to have 1:34-2:00 play all over again ?

Even the old canon followed this. After the Empire lost and was scattered; They were still a threat because of Thrawn who adapted and perfected the Rebel's hit and run startegy, he would've conquered the Galaxy again. The new canon just doesn't have this sense of danger for the Resistance, eventhough they are supposedly outnumbered, they crack jokes, and even trashes the New Order in space battles. Not to mention the New Order seems way too incompetent.

@@boxtupos7718 I fully agree. The First Order is supposedly a major remnant faction of the Empire. They should be comprised of some of the most loyal and experienced soldiers, pilots, and commanders from the Empire. On the flipside, the resistance should be made up of people who respect and understand that the Empire was no joke to contend with, nor should any splinter group. Instead the new trilogy is a bunch of goofballs and idiots who play around like it's all one big party (right up until someone important to the movie canon dies). It's a stupid mess. Even after the First Order unleashes their super weapon and blows up half a dozen major rebel/resistance/republic/whatever plants, it's still treated like a silly saturday morning cartoon romp. The 'bad guys' are fighting like they're standing for something. Meanwhile the new rebels are fighting like it's a temp job. Like it's no big deal. When Luke and rebel squadron were launching against the Death Star, that was heavy shit. They were way out gunned, and way out numbered. It was almost by sheer luck that they won. Now all the main characters treat the whole thing like it's a fucking game. You get short cuts of nameless mooks behaving like it's the dawn of D-Day, but everyone important is all lackadaisical and playing around. They flail their arms and shout like they're on a roller-coaster. It's fucking stupid. And of course the execs of Disney expect you to love it as much as the OT was.

@@buttlord2223 The thing that pisses me off the most is the loss of the basics of physics. The ship running out of fuel will not really work, since they are in space, the ship will not lose its momentum because there is nothing stopping it. So it'll become an endless chase. And the bigger ship, with the bigger thruster should move faster, because although there is mass, there is no weight or any other force going against the bigger ship, there is no drag. Aaahhh.... pisses me off

@@boxtupos7718 I typed out a big giant essay on why physics shouldn't be a major concern and youtube fucked it up. Basically large scale battles in SW are WW2 battles. Space combat is naval combat, with star destroyers and death stars being battleships and aircraft carriers. X and Y wings are fighters and torpedo bombers. AT-ATs are tanks. Hoth is probably some battle straight out of WW2, but the attack on the first Death Star is definitely the battle of midway. basically my point was that physics and real world science take a back seat to the theatrics and storytelling of a battle. It's why that stupid admiral lady's hyperspace ram is so fucking garbage - she uses semi believable real world physics and knowledge to obliterate an entire fleet, and also make every single battle prior completely pointless.

@@buttlord2223 Oh that's ok, but they treat it as the ship will stop in the vacuum of space because it runs out of fuel and will suddenly lose all its momentum just because(?) It's so dumb, that I can't just unsee it. Even in a fictional setting, specially a Sci-fi setting, the vacuum of space is still pretty much going to be that a vacuum. Not to mention it's so basic, that it stands out. And as you mentioned they've used FTL travel as an offensive attack; Which is stupid because in Star Wars going to Lightspeed just sends you to Hyperspace. So they manage to ignore basic physics and lore. Now if rewatch the other movies, I can't help but think, just do a lightspeed bombardment. Create weapons with lightspeed technology.

Maverick, from Top Gun, can own all these pilots

C. J. Bailey so can Poe Dameron from The Force Awakens

PeacockdDirector if anyone asks Y, we have cookies on the dark side 😂

Qadeer Abbas cookies? Im in Where do i sign?

Glory to the EMPIRE INDEED! T.G.T 101 OUT :-)

Harjas Singh It was so the most time. The only ones with plot armor are the heros. And probably you saw the stardestroyer the Y-wings were about to destroy? That's an Interdictor-cruiser, it prevents the rebels from jumping into hyperspace, what they would have done in this situation.

heroes*

The new movies are really bad at it also, im pretty sure the empire was more capable than it was shown in the old and new trilogies. I mean they were trained military and lucas had stormtroopers not knowing how to shoot!

Harjas Singh Well, I don't like TFA too, and yes, the empire could have done better, but this video shows how a battle where the rebels can't run away would be.

just saying if you watch your original the star wars with keen eye you find that stormtroopers where supposed to let great three escape to find rebel base

The Rebellion only won battles in the films because they have plot armor and dumb luck. Also, A-Wings and B-Wings were not a part of the Rebellion's arsenal until after this battle.

gotta scrap the intercteptor and tie bomber then too... its true, this was way too one sided, still great though! just wished for star wars music not this funky stuff i was hearing

Marcel Worschech Nope. Tie Interceptors were probably already in development when the Death Star was destroyed.

To be fair the Rebel group looked out numbered, tired and already damaged.

All that whining won't make the ANIMATION ITSELF inaccurate. Second, your another commentor here complaining that the rebels "should have had A and B wing fighters" yeah no. The Rebels had what the rebels had. Either this was early in the rebellion or these poor saps simply did not have those fighters on hand - hell for all we know they were on their way to GET SAID FIGHTERS at a rally location, while unloading whatever was in those transports. Also, whatever reason rebel pilots were superior on average is irrelevant here - for all you know all these pilots were the freshest bunch they had, and the TIE pilots were a squadron of ace-pilots - you do know the Empire had several of those, right? TIE's die easily, those who don't live longer to see more battles, and perhaps learn a thing or two, and those that do eventually get to pilot Interceptors because those are better fighters - hell top-aces in the Empire got to fly Defenders, a craft that was superior to nearly everything the rebels had. Lucky for them those were rare, and I may as well mention, were not in this battle, likely for the same reason the A and B wings were not. With all of that said: Enjoy it for what it is; fan-made animation, and legendary quality animation at that, given the 1-man development. It does not always have to be yet another victory for the rebels.

Ikr what is so important about a women in a chewbaca mask???...maybe I could be THE BOY IN A CLONE TROOPER MASK

People think that's more interesting then this, yet this looks better.

People these days are too stupid to know what a real quality video.

the animation in the chewbacca mask video is way better

+Kayne Mosch go fuck yourself this is wayy better than that shit

Here is the mistake you've made, modern movies aren't allowed to show anything good about villains anymore. Haaaaaha

@@MashedPotatoes690 I didn't say something good about them. I called them a threat.

@@kaminosai competence is already too positive, lmao.

well nah, the empire was pretty competent in Empire Strikes back VERY well. Everywhere else and especially Return of the jedi where they lose to ewoks, not so much.

The battle of Hoth would like a speak with you
