Wikipedia article




'TIE Fighter' is a 2015 short 'Star Wars' animated fan film, depicting a space battle between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance from the Imperial TIE pilots' point of view. It was created by Paul Johnson (known as "OtaKing77077" on YouTube) over four years worth of weekends. Johnson stated that the film is an homage to not only the anime style of the 1980s, but also the 1994 'Star Wars: TIE Fighter' video game, which the film uses sound effects from and borrows the logo design of. A remastered version, using sound effects and theme music from 'Star Wars Battlefront' and 'Rogue One', was released in 2017 from "J Ramseier", with Johnson's approval.

Reception



Nolan Feeney of 'Time.com' described the film as, "...incredibly detailed..." Christopher Curley of 'The A.V. Club' praised the detail of and animation itself and the soundtrack, and called it "a great could've been" for adult-oriented 'Star Wars' cartoons. Rich McCormick of 'The Verge' described the film as, "...action-packed, beautifully drawn, smoothly animated, and most importantly impressively accurate to 'Star Wars' fiction." Luke Plunkett of 'Kotaku' described the film as, "...one of the most laborious letters of love to a video game I've ever seen." Ryan Lambie of 'Den of Geek' praised Johnson's "hard work", and said, "...if a full series of this suddenly appeared somewhere, we'd happily watch it." Peter Sciretta of 'SlashFilm' described the film as, "amazing," "incredible," and "beautiful."
