commenting is what I do yeah I have to agree with you. It sorta looked like art style of 1986 transformers movie but some 90s shows had that style as well
Chancellor Palpatine AKA The Senate this channel didn’t animate it another one did they just added realistic sound affect and removed the awesome music Here is the original: ua-cam.com/video/PN_CP4SuoTU/v-deo.html
The TIE doing a quick flight control check before launching is amazing. less than a 1 or 2 seconds and brings a realism to Star Wars that has rarely been since in the last 15 years.
@@СаенкоСвятослав Yes. You can rationalize in a setting taking place in space that people must have developed some sort of anti-grav and anti-inertia tech, but that tech just MIGHT need a switch to activate. Or to prime your weapons. Or to open comms. Or literally anything else to show that this isn't a toy like in your spec-ed class where going *VROOOM* isn't all it takes to move the thing around.
Like when they kicked ass all over episode 4? Or when in episode 5, they attacked hoth and completely curbstomped the rebels? (We don't talk about the teddies in ep 6.)
"Long long time ago in a galaxy far far away" We are watching Alliance/Rebel propaganda that's why the Empire are portrayed as clumsy and incompetent.😏
This dude spent 4 years to make a 7 minute video as a passion project, putting all that time to make the visuals. Disney has to make like 10 20 minute episodes in less time than that.
@@COPTS08 there is no reason to push so much money into animation. It wont impact the story if the animation is animestyle or simple. It just does not make sense to push so much extra money into animation when a simpler style will suffice. This dude went in with the intent if creating an anime style, action-packed short and Disney is trying to portray a story. They have different goals you see.
Imago Gestalter Would’ve been better if Rose got blasted into molecules. But I disagree about Poe Dameron being useless- definitely underdeveloped but not useless. He was the whole reason anything happened in the force awakens. They should’ve followed his story or made him the son of Wedge Antilles. Or at least give the movie an entertaining plot.
The Empire IS A Strong 'Navy'. Impossibly strong. Its why the Rebels never could take them on directly. They had to use subterfuge to hit Imperial facilities before the Navy showed up. Because once it did, the Rebels had no chance. Lightspeed off or die.
but they aren't tie fighter would be more like the great Marianas turkey shoot in a real battle. 1) poor visibility limited by cockpit design and helmet 2) larger profile 3) pilots movement slowed by heavy equipment 4)lack shielding when compared to rebel fighters like x-wing ,y-wing ,b-wing and a wing all feature cockpits with superior visibility all have pressurized cockpits allowing pilots to wear simple and lighter jumpsuits all carry heavier fire power then their imperial counterparts all have shielding
It's what i was hoping it'd be like when i heard they were making a StarWars anime. I remember when i first saw this I wanted a StarWars anime but visions under delivered for the most part.
@@eriknixon131 I can just picture a family who goes by the last name of wilhem and like gears of war did with the Carmine's every wilhem that dies makes the scream.
This should be how the Empire/First Order should be portrayed. Highly Skilled, Well Trained, Well Educated, Superior weapons and strategy, Seasoned Veterans.
Welp, that has never happened, and if it did, they would actually have to think of decent and effective guerilla warfare strategies for the rebels, rather than just saying 'Here is obvious target, it is very overpowered and has killed countless random people we will never speak about again, please destroy it'.
Of course the same goes for the Rebel Alliance, who boasted a large number of Imperial Defectors. Many of its squadron leaders trained in Imperial Academies before defecting. It's one of the more plausible reasons they succeed as they benefitted from having trained with enemy vehicles and equipment. Shame the latest films treat both sides like they never even trained to use basic strategies to the point of sheer unbelievable idiocy. The opening space battle of Last Jedi is quite possibly the greatest showing of commanding officer incompetence on show in a major film outing.
Biggest mistake most movies make is to portray the "enemy" as incompetant and pathetic, the opposing side has to be RESPECTED, or theres no sence of credible threat, nor any sence of accomplishment in defeating the "enemy".
Watching Ep.7 & 8 and how ridiculously incompetent,the Empire eh.. I mean The First Order is,it's really baffling how these morons manage to conquer the galaxy in the first place.Not to mention the Rebels eh.. I mean the Resistance.These guys managed to defeat Palpatines Empire and never bothered to build a proper army/fleet for the New Republic!
This is possibly the perfect representation of what a space battle dogfight in Star Wars feels like. You get to see individuals do things inside the cockpit of their starfighters other than just fire.
I see a lot of these comments talking about how this looks so much better than modern Star Wars, but no one is mentioning how it manages to blend traditional animation and CG better than most anime from the past 15 years AND have a style that looks just as polished and detailed as some of the most impressive shows of the late 80's and early 90's. It's not just Star Wars that's gone downhill and is in trouble, it's the entire animation industry. Computers have made things easier, but they also made expected turnarounds faster and cheaper and lead to overall lower quality results. When you take your time and use them intelligently you can get results like this, and it's breathtaking.
As I understand in the Japan animation industry, the end goal of any anime series isn't the quality of the work, rather the consistent speed in which content is released. Take a look at one of my favourite current anime Overlord, it has rich lore, rich characters, rich places, yet the directors felt the need to cgi the Goblins, Skeletons, Soldiers, and other things that may need to be repeated over and over again, makes the whole scene look out of place and cheap. But it does cut time.
It's not actually about speed, not directly at least, as Kamari Peart said it's about money. Do it good, do it fast, do it cheap, but you can only pick 2. Speed has always been one of those two, but quality and price have varied back and forth depending on the series and time period. Back in the 80's and 90's you could reliably make money off of home video sales for quality works, like a lot of money. Old OVA's were single hour long episodes sold for the equivalent of $30-40 US (which would be more like $80 today). That sounds crazy today, but at the time home video and anime were still novel and considered worth it. Because of that high price tag though, people expected high quality. If you can make a lot of money by putting a lot of money in, by golly a company will do it, but if you can only get huge returns on 1 show out of 20, and most of your shows are just streamed or watched once on TV and sell really poorly in the Blu-Ray charts, you're going to throw everything at the wall as cheaply as possible to get something to stick. Just compare the old JoJo OVA to the more recent anime series. It's one of the only times you can see the exact same fights animated 25 years apart from each other. The newer one is generally considered to have the more appealing art style, but the older one absolutely demolishes the new one in terms of animation quality and pure detail. That's because it was an OVA with a huge budget per episode, because they expected a huge return per episode. The anime expected a modest return per set of episodes, so the budget is allocated accordingly. Only so many artists are able to work on each episode because there just isn't enough money to hire more, so they each have to work faster which naturally lowers what they can do.
Imperial Captain: **Strokes chin in deep, deep thought** "I've come up with a plan. We should shoot that Rebel Ship." Imperial Crewman: **sigh** "I can see why you get paid the big bucks, Sir."
I know this is a joke, but just wanted to say they were probably considering whether the ships were worth destroying or disabling for capture. No matter how big your capital ship is, you're running on limited munitions and energy and you don't want to waste either of that on moves that don't bring good results in a ship battle. Having laser cannons switching to stun/disable means less cannons shooting deadly lasers, which could leave them exposed to bombers/fighters or returning fire from enemy ships if they're not destroying or suppressing them.
He concludes that because it's fleeing it might have a vip aboard so orders it targeted exclusively with ions. It's not unfair to consider that for a moment especially as it's against standard imperial military doctrine.
also great at 5:41 when he waves his hand at his enemies even though his crew had already been given their orders to target and shoot, like he was pretending the lasers were coming from his fingers.
@@mwnciboo Yeah the dialogue dubbing is terribly miss matched. All their Shields are up from the start. The interdictor doesn't turn on its Shields it alters it's disruption field from the mode that blocks hyperspace in a massive radius to the mode which disrupts ordinance in a close radius, and presumably right back once the immediate threat was gone.
Rebels have 1000 star fighters. Empire has 1,000,000,000,000 star fighters. Equipping that many star fighters with shields would bank rupt them. Also the Empire liked to rely on Big Ships rather then small ones.
I would also argue that adding shield generators could mess up the Imperial Navy Doctrine. Tie fighters, if I recall correctly, are supposed to be super quick, highly maneuverable, similar to the Japanese A6M Zero.
@@somechickensquid3916 no, they just made them soviet union style. You won't need all those fancy active protection systems if you outnumber them 10 to 1.
The even more mind blowing thing is just taking apart a single small planet like Mercury would give enough raw material for trillions of Star Destroyers. And the empire has access to many orders of magnitude more resources and automated manufacturing than just a single small planet. If they wanted to actually TRY they could be a Type 3 civilization in the blink of an eye. But instead they just build a few thousand ships and call it a galactic empire. Get some Dyson Swarms going you imperial scrubs!
@@VMan29397 ties are far superior and faster and can out move any rebel ships. Even with added shields rebels star-fighters are death traps vs empire ships. That’s why only the best rebel pilots survive any Star battle in the legends series of books and comics and original movies
I mean yes, but in many wars irl the side that “won” is not the side that logistically should have Sometimes one major lucky victory outplays the plight of the whole war
Clone wars Season 7, Later seasons of rebels, Mandalorian, Bad Batch, Rogue One, Andor, Tales of the Jedi? Seriously, not everything Disney made sucks.
@@LordSidious066rogue one was only kind of good but had some flaws, andor was incredible but it feels nothing like Star Wars and the rest are either poorly written trash or a show that runs in between episodes of the powderpuff girls, so this was kind of a change of tone for recent Star Wars media
+Nawt -- Unless he got OtaKing's permission its copyright infringement. Just like pretty much every fan music video on UA-cam. Same goes for the ones I made back when the lawyers would actually e-mail you cease-and-desist form letters personally.
It still steals views from the original, which may or may not be monetised. Think what would happen if someone uploaded a movie on youtube and it was never taken down. It would steal views from the movie. Now think who needs those views more, a struggling fan video or a giant movie conglomerate.
+Nawt just because credit is given doesn't mean it isn't stolen. Even if there isn't monetization then it will even then still be stealing. if there was permission for this video then otaking would've said something when this came out.
Joseph Perez This is just one battle. It makes sense that not every Rebel fleet made it. The Rebellion didn't win at all until the Battle of Yavin barring small hit and run attacks. Even destroying the Death Star was an act of desperation, they had to evacuate immediately anyway. They were just lucky to cause more losses to the Empire that day. As for force users. Yeah they were thought to be extinct except for Vader. The war still waged even without them in every battle.
I hope Disney doesn’t copyright strike this, this guy spent so long on it and it for sure falls under fair use. Not to mention that unlike Disney, this guy knows how to do Star Wars right.
Love the little details like X-wings blowing up from the inside, the slight difference in sound between the fighters’ lasers and those of the capital ships (thus subtly conveying the greater power of the latter)
Can't say I love the film. Not many who do. Another thing I don't love is unchecked writers being allowed to play fast and loose with licensed material sold for profit. That's what Legends was. People making novels, comics and games that were never REALLY canon yet somehow came to be perceived as such by a now-aggrieved fanbase.
@@scarabmango Flawed or not, the EU is still where the heart of Star Wars lives. Settle for the milktoast efluvia that is Disney SW if that's all you can handle. But the real meat and potatoes is with the EU regardless.
No, the meat and potatoes is and always has been MAJOR MOVIES. The rest was all just glorified fan-fiction with a license slapped on it because then it could legally make a buck! This isn't even that hard to understand, it's just that some people don't WANT to understand it.
when the anime has literally 0 character development to care about, with no premise aside from "fleet battle where the empire wins" and needs only standard military dialogue and doesn't have the success of the franchise riding on its success or failure
@@tn4tp Oh, so you like the inept and incompetent *mess* we got instead of an actually intimidating antagonist? That's like preferring General Grievous from the actual prequels over the one we see in Genndy Tartakovsky's 2003 Clone Wars. Like, I get that you're a fan of Star Wars and all, but if you don't criticize these things and hold these stories accountable for their own shitty writing, you're just gonna keep getting more and more stuff like The Last Jedi or the prequel trilogy and less stuff like Rogue One or The Force Awakens.
Vader couldn't always be there, complete badass though he was. You want to hear something cool? One time he out flew and, although it was a practice battle, out fought some pilot named Vindoo Barvel, at the imperial City naval academy. And he did it without his nav or targeting computers on. Basically he flew a TIE fighter by the seat of his pants.
The empire need strong leadership. Emperor was too sith for the empire good. In legends, the empire outlast both the New republic follow by Galactic Allience. Even become a major ally to defeat the One Sith Empire. Even the empire Emperor was a Force-users who had to be neutral in the force to lead the empire . the Emperor bodyguard aka Imperial Kinght( who are Empire version of jedi knight,) have special orders to assassin the Emperor if he or she fall into the dark side.
Star Wars Resistance: Made by a ton of people Animated by a ton of people On cable television This: Made by one guy Animated by one guy On UA-cam Somehow better
That's the difference passion, creativity and skill make! Also not having corporate overlords breathing down your neck. One note, the sound design in this version was done by one other guy bring the total crew to *TWO.* Really gives you something to think about, doesn't it?
Because its made by someone who loves the series and understands what makes Star Wars, Star Wars. Not like Disney which only cares about money and milking a franchise before burying it in a shallow grave.
This remaster was edited together beautifully, especially with that zoom into the command bridge of the ISD combined with the daunting music that played during Vader’s massacre in Rogue One. Well done.
This entire animation is/could be one of a few things. 1: Lore Accurate Galactic Empire against the Rebels. 2: A Player controlled fleet in Star Wars: Empire At War. Or 3: a simple tribute to the Star Wars Tie Fighter video game.
really reminds you that the tie fighter piolets are people and not just braindead war criminals. If I really want to get political than I would say that just about every major faction in the movies are war criminals according to our standards but ya know the geneva conventional does not _technicaly_ exist but whatever.

Remember: When the Millenium Falcon escapes from the Death Star, it's because Darth Vader ordered the troops to hold back, because he wanted to track the ship to the rebel base. It's just that the later writers forgot that, and depicted the Stormtroopers as inept, instead of so good you couldn't tell when they were faking ineptitude to set the rebels up for absolute destruction.
Love the pre-flight scene 1:33, disconnect APU and switch to internal power, activate radar, recalibrate weapons to HUD, test rudders and yaw, start engine propulsion, check hydroaulics, landing gear and fluid pressures. Very methodical. I've waited several times in the back of helicopters whilst I was in the military after loading equipment just to hear comms between pilot and co-pilot and buttons flicking..a touch of realism is always great.
incredibly well made! this blew my mind years ago! but i just wasn't a fan of the rock-n-roll music, which disrespected the Star Wars ambiance, now it's faithfully better , this video gave justice to the vibes of SW
@@aprilhart6516 his name is wing commander Rosh, according to the promotional lore Otaking put out. His wingmates listen to him because he's the most experienced pilot. He hangs around with them because he a) doesn't really know what to say most of the time b) is intensely boring, and c) has no friends.
The First Order should take notes. But so should the Empire. And all four of the other major factions in the movies. Seriously, everyone in those movies is an incompetent fool.
I mean, they lost a laser planet 3 times, lost their leader and the most powerful jedi in existence yet still continue to win the war and have just managed to corner the entire fucking rebellion Star wars is just one big 'whose army is less competant' fest
Absolutely beautifully made even after 7 years it holds up better than any of the crap Disney has pulled out their backside. My only personal gripe is that we didn't see much of the rebels mildly superior fighters. (Though its good to see someone remember that the Empire vastly outnumbered the rebels)
@@theodortemplar2881 i doubt it would come too a law suit lol i see a fish n chip shop the other day with disneys the little mermaid heat stuck too a window which has been in place since it opened 20 years ago !
I'd watch the shit out of this if it was a real star wars show. call it "Star Wars: Empire" or something have it be a more adult series showing us the other side of the war (but not pussy out have the MCs switch to the rebels like in the Battlefront 2 campaign.) kinda the hull 'heroes on both sides' showing how the empire isn't just evil people trying to take over the world but actual human beings who either serve out of honor, patriotism, or because it's just their job. But seeing the direction of Disney Star Wars, it'd be some SJW crap.
@@Kerberlos This, it would be *incredibly* refreshing to have a series about the life of a stormtrooper, instead of "rebels, rebels... REBELS". Got no beef with the alliance, but we need something new.
Yeah, the animation for SW Rebels- Oh wait, i'm sorry, SW Rebels 2.0- Wait, sorry, that's still not right... Ah, now i've got it. SW Reb-sistance is uncomfortably similiar to Tron Uprising (a TV spin-off that's a prequel to Tron Legacy)
Amazing.A truly strong set of "villains" which is humanized just by showing us their faces and them a slight bit of fear. This shows how incesibly underpowered the rebellion is compared to the Empire. All in a 7 minute video eith minimal dialouge.
and for the whole time, the applied visual rhetorics is exactly what I would call an evolved portrayal of the ww2. this is the key to Star Wars duality, as it plays with the human side of the antagonism, turning its characters into something more than just letting them be villains -- ones that a viewer could identify with -- but without evoking any historical context in the process.
As a kid watching Empire in 1980, you walked in all smug that Luke was going to rule the day and the 'bad guys' were again get their ass handed to them no matter what the title said. Walked out in utter shock after being tossed from emotion to emotion for nearly two hours. "Vader cut his hand off... right off like tossed it over a railing, gone. Han is a flat statue and the Rebellion is screwed." It was a goddamn long wait as a kid for 1983, to find out WTF was actually going on with the universe you had been drawn into hook line and sinker all those years ago with New Hope. No plot leaks, no teasers. Nothing. You waited 3 years and suffered through every theory and rumor that trickled down from any source you could find as a kid where there was no internet and no one to message and get an inside track like leaks today. It was a secret and we had to wait.
I think you got that backward. Disney turned the Stormtroopers into competent and intimidating soldiers, while under Lucas they couldn't hit the broadside of a barn and had their asses kicked by teddy bears with sticks. You wanna complain about certain story elements, fine, but the Stormtroopers and the Imperial (well, First Order) military in general greatly benefitted from not having Lucas at the helm. What I would complain about is how incompetent the Republic became.
I've always loved this. I appreciate how it slightly humanizes the Empire by showing them as not always faceless. Not to the point that they are redeemed, but just enough to raise the stakes overall for everyone involved. To tell you the truth. It's probably one of my favorite depictions of a Star Wars naval battle from almost anything in the franchise.
Asdf101 Solo is one of the most pointless prequels ever made and by far the most pointless Star Wars movie ever made. It barely added anything to the franchise.
This short never fails to impress no matter how many times I see it remastered in some way. And I still want to see a series around these imperial fighter pilots.
Crab Crayon The rebels should have taken notes from the imperial commander. The only thing more unyielding than plot armor is that dude’s Tupperware hair.
Crab Crayon Rebel officer:"sir the shields are down" Rebel Commander: "where are the named protagonists?" RO: "They left with the Home One" RC: "DAMN IT". RO: "sir?" RC: "without shields or named characters... We are doomed... WAIT HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN ON SCREEN" Ro: "an hour or so-" RC: "THEN WE SHALL DIE A EXPLOSIVE AND SLOW DEATH GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!!!!!!"
"Their defenses are thinning out. Do not relent. Show no mercy." "Whew. Lucky you said that. I was on the verge of relenting." "...wha..." "You know. Because I've never shown any mercy before. I wanted to see what it feels like." "..." "But you said not to show any mercy. I was about to do it, but because you said not to ..." "We'll discuss this in further detail when we return to the ship." "Oh, no doubt. But in the interim, nix on any relenting and no to that mercy thingie. Got it."
"For the Empire, i give my life, for Order, for peace, i fight to destroy Chaos, to destroy traitors, rebels, and all who'd threaten our galaxy. For the Empire, let no rebel survive!"
This is soo good. The shots are so expressive, I was drawn to the action the whole time even though there was no context to the story. This brings back the glory of the originals, it was like watching the originals! I hope you make more!
Basically, if Zeta Gundam was Star Wars. Plus Macross judging by the "Itano Circus" missile movement and animation. The animator is apparently a fan of that Golden Age 80's Anime style... as am I.
I doubt it was luke, and r2. Those droids were like a mass produced produced unit not so ? , its just that the unit luke had was special. He had a personality.
And no Holdo "ram at lightspeed" maneuver. What a joke that was. Did anyone notice at the end of Rogue One where the Rebels were jumping out of system and the Empire was jumping in system? The last Corellian Corvette jumping out rammed into the last Star Destroyer as it was jumping in. So, head-on collision with both vehicles moving at lightspeed. If you follow the same inertia dynamics, that would double the force of the impact just as it does when 2 cars have a head on collision. You can clearly see the Corvette crumple like a soda can against the hull of the Star Destroyer. One scenario holds true & one doesn't. I hate this new era of Disney SW. They can't even keep their continuity straight. In the SW novels, Luke and the Jedi Academy found an unused superweapon called the Sun Crusher. It had something called molecular armor, which made it indestructible. The purpose of the ship was to fly thru a sun at lightspeed, making it go supernova. The Jedi Apprentice Kyp Durron flew this ship thru the sun of a solar system where the Empire used on entire planet as a boot camp for training Stormtroopers, as well as having a shipyard where they made Star Destroyers. Even with the ship's inertial dampeners on full and protecting himself with a Force Cocoon, a pass thru just a gaseous object like a sun broke every bone in his body. He spent close to a year in a Jedi Healing Trance to recover. That's flying a ship thru a sun, which is what it was designed for. So imagine the force of 2 ships moving at lightspeed colliding head-on. The science just doesn't hold up. Sorry so long of an explanation. I hate the new SW. Give me fan fiction like this, Vader, or scene 38 of A new Hope reimagined any day, all day long.
@@jamesooten3659 I can't tell if you're criticizing Rogue One for the light speed mechanics, but if you are, then you're a dumbass for several reasons. 1. The Star Destroyer and the ships crashing into it aren't traveling at light speed. The Star Destroyer just came out of light speed and was still while the ships that crashed into it were about to enter light speed but hadn't yet. 2. The Sun Crusher was retarded, as is a lot of the EU, and shouldn't be looked at to reference points because it's beyond ridiculous. 3. If you are going to criticize the light speed continuity in Disney Star Wars, then the blame should rest solely on Rian Johnson and The Last Jedi for failing to follow the light speed mechanics set before it in previous films, not on Rogue One since it came before Last Jedi and no light speed collision is present in that film. If these points do not apply to you then you are not a dumbass.
@@williamt.sherman9841 Thanks for the correction, it's been quite a while since I had seen or read both. Still, the scene in R1 shows what a sham the Holdo maneuver was. No worries though, the Resistance is down to 10-12 members left (unless there's a secret enclave somewhere), so the Rebellion is effectively crushed. Thank you Disney, Rian Hohnson, & JJ for turning SW into Firefly. And that's insulting to Firefly.
When I played it back then I was thinking I am such a badass just for surviving space-battles while flying this shieldless coffins called the Tie-Series.
That admiral is so badass! Gives me the chills when he said "leave no survivors". That's the might of Empire wwe haven't seen in the movies adaptation.. damn Disney!

This is what happens when the rebels forget to bring main characters with them. Their plot armor drops to about 4%
Awsome reasoning

aw, me too. Maybe we can hope that one day Otaking aka Paul Johnson gets hired by them? Could still happen! I'd be happy to do the SFX too xD
same
yeah same.
Same man - that whole anthology was just cheap copy pastes of better animes with a star wars filter. But this shit? This shit is fan fucking tastic
It's what i was hoping it'd be like when i heard they were making a StarWars anime. I remember when i first saw this I wanted a StarWars anime but visions under delivered for the most part.
Just had to throw in one wilhelm scream in there. Hilarious.

@@eriknixon131 I can just picture a family who goes by the last name of wilhem and like gears of war did with the Carmine's every wilhem that dies makes the scream.
NxT Bman
Lol that would be hilarious 😂
I think no good movie can be done without this iconic scream.
Wouldn't be Star Wars as we know it without the Wilhelm Scream
This should be how the Empire/First Order should be portrayed.
Highly Skilled, Well Trained, Well Educated, Superior weapons and strategy, Seasoned Veterans.
Welp, that has never happened, and if it did, they would actually have to think of decent and effective guerilla warfare strategies for the rebels, rather than just saying 'Here is obvious target, it is very overpowered and has killed countless random people we will never speak about again, please destroy it'.
Of course the same goes for the Rebel Alliance, who boasted a large number of Imperial Defectors. Many of its squadron leaders trained in Imperial Academies before defecting.
It's one of the more plausible reasons they succeed as they benefitted from having trained with enemy vehicles and equipment.
Shame the latest films treat both sides like they never even trained to use basic strategies to the point of sheer unbelievable idiocy.
The opening space battle of Last Jedi is quite possibly the greatest showing of commanding officer incompetence on show in a major film outing.
And more than a little bit of smugness.
Biggest mistake most movies make is to portray the "enemy" as incompetant and pathetic, the opposing side has to be RESPECTED, or theres no sence of credible threat, nor any sence of accomplishment in defeating the "enemy".
Watching Ep.7 & 8 and how ridiculously incompetent,the Empire eh.. I mean The First Order is,it's really baffling how these morons manage to conquer the galaxy in the first place.Not to mention the Rebels eh.. I mean the Resistance.These guys managed to defeat Palpatines Empire and never bothered to build a proper army/fleet for the New Republic!
This is possibly the perfect representation of what a space battle dogfight in Star Wars feels like. You get to see individuals do things inside the cockpit of their starfighters other than just fire.
I see a lot of these comments talking about how this looks so much better than modern Star Wars, but no one is mentioning how it manages to blend traditional animation and CG better than most anime from the past 15 years AND have a style that looks just as polished and detailed as some of the most impressive shows of the late 80's and early 90's. It's not just Star Wars that's gone downhill and is in trouble, it's the entire animation industry.
Computers have made things easier, but they also made expected turnarounds faster and cheaper and lead to overall lower quality results. When you take your time and use them intelligently you can get results like this, and it's breathtaking.
NiGHTSnoob this
Yeah, sadly that's not how you make money and this is extremely unviable to keep up without cutting corners; resulting in a similar low quality.
As I understand in the Japan animation industry, the end goal of any anime series isn't the quality of the work, rather the consistent speed in which content is released.
Take a look at one of my favourite current anime Overlord, it has rich lore, rich characters, rich places, yet the directors felt the need to cgi the Goblins, Skeletons, Soldiers, and other things that may need to be repeated over and over again, makes the whole scene look out of place and cheap. But it does cut time.
It's not actually about speed, not directly at least, as Kamari Peart said it's about money. Do it good, do it fast, do it cheap, but you can only pick 2. Speed has always been one of those two, but quality and price have varied back and forth depending on the series and time period. Back in the 80's and 90's you could reliably make money off of home video sales for quality works, like a lot of money. Old OVA's were single hour long episodes sold for the equivalent of $30-40 US (which would be more like $80 today). That sounds crazy today, but at the time home video and anime were still novel and considered worth it. Because of that high price tag though, people expected high quality. If you can make a lot of money by putting a lot of money in, by golly a company will do it, but if you can only get huge returns on 1 show out of 20, and most of your shows are just streamed or watched once on TV and sell really poorly in the Blu-Ray charts, you're going to throw everything at the wall as cheaply as possible to get something to stick.
Just compare the old JoJo OVA to the more recent anime series. It's one of the only times you can see the exact same fights animated 25 years apart from each other. The newer one is generally considered to have the more appealing art style, but the older one absolutely demolishes the new one in terms of animation quality and pure detail. That's because it was an OVA with a huge budget per episode, because they expected a huge return per episode. The anime expected a modest return per set of episodes, so the budget is allocated accordingly. Only so many artists are able to work on each episode because there just isn't enough money to hire more, so they each have to work faster which naturally lowers what they can do.
Imperial Captain: **Strokes chin in deep, deep thought** "I've come up with a plan. We should shoot that Rebel Ship."
Imperial Crewman: **sigh** "I can see why you get paid the big bucks, Sir."
I know this is a joke, but just wanted to say they were probably considering whether the ships were worth destroying or disabling for capture. No matter how big your capital ship is, you're running on limited munitions and energy and you don't want to waste either of that on moves that don't bring good results in a ship battle. Having laser cannons switching to stun/disable means less cannons shooting deadly lasers, which could leave them exposed to bombers/fighters or returning fire from enemy ships if they're not destroying or suppressing them.
He concludes that because it's fleeing it might have a vip aboard so orders it targeted exclusively with ions. It's not unfair to consider that for a moment especially as it's against standard imperial military doctrine.
also great at 5:41 when he waves his hand at his enemies even though his crew had already been given their orders to target and shoot, like he was pretending the lasers were coming from his fingers.
Or "Turning on the Shield now!"...ridiculous they hadn't already during an attack.
@@mwnciboo Yeah the dialogue dubbing is terribly miss matched.
All their Shields are up from the start. The interdictor doesn't turn on its Shields it alters it's disruption field from the mode that blocks hyperspace in a massive radius to the mode which disrupts ordinance in a close radius, and presumably right back once the immediate threat was gone.
I love the way they keep zooming in on the eyes. Shows you that there are people behind every mask in the empire.
It's also cool as fuck, and something mecha anime did all the time back in the before times
No disney? No sequel trilogy?
Finally, inner peace 😌
I love the fact that they actually show that the empire wont pay for shields on tie fighters while the rebels will
Rebels have 1000 star fighters.
Empire has 1,000,000,000,000 star fighters.
Equipping that many star fighters with shields would bank rupt them.
Also the Empire liked to rely on Big Ships rather then small ones.
I would also argue that adding shield generators could mess up the Imperial Navy Doctrine. Tie fighters, if I recall correctly, are supposed to be super quick, highly maneuverable, similar to the Japanese A6M Zero.
@@flaresapostle1stofthetwelv2 so the empire created kamikazes without the kamikazes
@@somechickensquid3916 Technically, yes.
@@somechickensquid3916 no, they just made them soviet union style. You won't need all those fancy active protection systems if you outnumber them 10 to 1.
My GOD this is incredible. It shows the sheer scale of a proper Starwars dogfight, and the power of the Empire in a non-plot related battle!
Realistic battle vs non realistic plot armor
The even more mind blowing thing is just taking apart a single small planet like Mercury would give enough raw material for trillions of Star Destroyers. And the empire has access to many orders of magnitude more resources and automated manufacturing than just a single small planet. If they wanted to actually TRY they could be a Type 3 civilization in the blink of an eye. But instead they just build a few thousand ships and call it a galactic empire.
Get some Dyson Swarms going you imperial scrubs!
From the evil empire's standpoint, yes.
@@timmywoo3572 except its not realistic ties go down in a turkey shoot
@@VMan29397 ties are far superior and faster and can out move any rebel ships. Even with added shields rebels star-fighters are death traps vs empire ships. That’s why only the best rebel pilots survive any Star battle in the legends series of books and comics and original movies

Simon Willis, so the Empire destroying the Rebellion and taking control of the Galaxy? Good to know.
Oh and no Force Users at all!
Joseph Perez This is just one battle. It makes sense that not every Rebel fleet made it. The Rebellion didn't win at all until the Battle of Yavin barring small hit and run attacks. Even destroying the Death Star was an act of desperation, they had to evacuate immediately anyway. They were just lucky to cause more losses to the Empire that day.
As for force users. Yeah they were thought to be extinct except for Vader. The war still waged even without them in every battle.

Vader couldn't always be there, complete badass though he was. You want to hear something cool?

Basically he flew a TIE fighter by the seat of his pants.
The empire need strong leadership. Emperor was too sith for the empire good. In legends, the empire outlast both the New republic follow by Galactic Allience. Even become a major ally to defeat the One Sith Empire.
Even the empire Emperor was a Force-users who had to be neutral in the force to lead the empire . the Emperor bodyguard aka Imperial Kinght( who are Empire version of jedi knight,) have special orders to assassin the Emperor if he or she fall into the dark side.

Remember: When the Millenium Falcon escapes from the Death Star, it's because Darth Vader ordered the troops to hold back, because he wanted to track the ship to the rebel base.
It's just that the later writers forgot that, and depicted the Stormtroopers as inept, instead of so good you couldn't tell when they were faking ineptitude to set the rebels up for absolute destruction.
Love the pre-flight scene 1:33, disconnect APU and switch to internal power, activate radar, recalibrate weapons to HUD, test rudders and yaw, start engine propulsion, check hydroaulics, landing gear and fluid pressures. Very methodical.
I've waited several times in the back of helicopters whilst I was in the military after loading equipment just to hear comms between pilot and co-pilot and buttons flicking..a touch of realism is always great.

I'd watch the shit out of this if it was a real star wars show. call it "Star Wars: Empire" or something have it be a more adult series showing us the other side of the war (but not pussy out have the MCs switch to the rebels like in the Battlefront 2 campaign.) kinda the hull 'heroes on both sides' showing how the empire isn't just evil people trying to take over the world but actual human beings who either serve out of honor, patriotism, or because it's just their job.
But seeing the direction of Disney Star Wars, it'd be some SJW crap.
@@Kerberlos This, it would be *incredibly* refreshing to have a series about the life of a stormtrooper, instead of "rebels, rebels... REBELS". Got no beef with the alliance, but we need something new.

Ah, now i've got it. SW Reb-sistance is uncomfortably similiar to Tron Uprising (a TV spin-off that's a prequel to Tron Legacy)
Resistance is not an anime
Amazing.A truly strong set of "villains" which is humanized just by showing us their faces and them a slight bit of fear. This shows how incesibly underpowered the rebellion is compared to the Empire. All in a 7 minute video eith minimal dialouge.
and for the whole time, the applied visual rhetorics is exactly what I would call an evolved portrayal of the ww2.
this is the key to Star Wars duality, as it plays with the human side of the antagonism, turning its characters into something more than just letting them be villains -- ones that a viewer could identify with -- but without evoking any historical context in the process.

As a kid watching Empire in 1980, you walked in all smug that Luke was going to rule the day and the 'bad guys' were again get their ass handed to them no matter what the title said. Walked out in utter shock after being tossed from emotion to emotion for nearly two hours. "Vader cut his hand off... right off like tossed it over a railing, gone. Han is a flat statue and the Rebellion is screwed." It was a goddamn long wait as a kid for 1983, to find out WTF was actually going on with the universe you had been drawn into hook line and sinker all those years ago with New Hope. No plot leaks, no teasers. Nothing. You waited 3 years and suffered through every theory and rumor that trickled down from any source you could find as a kid where there was no internet and no one to message and get an inside track like leaks today. It was a secret and we had to wait.
I think you got that backward. Disney turned the Stormtroopers into competent and intimidating soldiers, while under Lucas they couldn't hit the broadside of a barn and had their asses kicked by teddy bears with sticks. You wanna complain about certain story elements, fine, but the Stormtroopers and the Imperial (well, First Order) military in general greatly benefitted from not having Lucas at the helm. What I would complain about is how incompetent the Republic became.

@@Backfromthedeadguy Hux is a fucking joke though. Tarkin and the guys invading Hoth never seemed like a joke.
I've always loved this. I appreciate how it slightly humanizes the Empire by showing them as not always faceless. Not to the point that they are redeemed, but just enough to raise the stakes overall for everyone involved. To tell you the truth. It's probably one of my favorite depictions of a Star Wars naval battle from almost anything in the franchise.
He goes the way of the dedicated producer with a vision. I respect that.
That old school (late 90's - early 2000's) mecha vibe. Awesome.
Cole Manning those are the best kinds of anime
@@pablowusgood7724 agreed
I would say of the 80`s
It's got hints of all the greats Gundam getter robo and even a little heavy metal but with the new school polish
I thought it looked like the old Gundam shows too! An awesome style!
This was a better action sequence than 90% of any "New Star Wars" movies.
biggee316
Tbh rogue one and solo were actually pretty good, but i agree that the new trilogy sucks.
@@卂丂千 I think they're the "best" new star wars movie but I HATED the Han talking in Wookie and his name origin.... Definitely wasnt needed
Asdf101 Nah, TFA was actually pretty good.
Chai
Well yeah but TFA was very similar to a new hope, so i just didn’t like that it lacked creativity.
Asdf101 Solo is one of the most pointless prequels ever made and by far the most pointless Star Wars movie ever made. It barely added anything to the franchise.
I love everything about this, and there’s even a Wilhelm Scream.
I heard it too mad respect for this creator put him in charge of a whole film.
the scream isn't necessary anymore
@@giannilyanicks1718, I beg to differ.
@@Nomadswift you got no good taste.
@@giannilyanicks1718 Now that, I can agree with, but the insult itself isn’t necessary.
All good, man. Just enjoy the anime.
This style looks like something my dad would watch when he was younger
ouch!
Your dad sounds cool
80s Animation was the best during this time.s
Thanks for making me feel old..
This could rival all of the new sequel trilogy, spin offs and that resistance series. AND ITS A FAN FILM!!!
This short never fails to impress no matter how many times I see it remastered in some way.
And I still want to see a series around these imperial fighter pilots.
Disney should have hired Paul Johnson instead of Rian Johnson.
For those unaware, Otaking77077 made the animation, his name is Paul Johnson.
I just redid the SFX and put star wars music in it for the remaster :)
maybe they were dyslexic
I thought Jar Jar Abrams' handling was worse but whatevs.
@@TheTaintedWisdom I agree, but I was just trying to make a lame pun
@@TheTaintedWisdom No way.
1. why tf is the animation so amazing
2. i always feel somewhat bad for the cannon fodder tie pilots its even worse with faces smh
This feels more like Star Wars than Disney Star Wars.
@Venge Ance I can't argue with that.
MrThystleblum1 damn right!
Feel's like home again.
Yes
Star Wars Resistance was stylistically designed to look like shit.
This is the type of content that should be on trending or recommended.
Bluntman G no
Just no
Bluntman G To youtube, anime is cancer. I hope it stays like that.
Bluntman G Nope we get stupid ass Colbert Fuck him
Its one video, if it was a series maybe but a single one shot from years ago isn't going to get to trending
Finally a star wars movie, where the good guys win.
manus dei
You should go to your nearest Imperial recruitment center.
manus dei ????
Agreed
Go empire
You ment the bad guys not the good guys, but still great movie!!!
After all these years I'm still convinced, being part of the Empire could turn you into a badass.
In 7:10, this video showed more Imperial competence than the entire 4 seasons of Star Wars: Rebels
Kaptin Barfbeerd The entire Star Wars movies*
Rebels, where ALL Imperial officers wear hats that cover their eyes. Rendering them blind lol (when in reality, just makes it easier to animate)
This 7 minute short was better than the entirety of The Last Jedi
Rian Johnson was probably like "Why doesn't my Star Wars look like that!!?"
It’s all relative, mate. But yes, this is truer Star Wars than The Last Jedi.
damn right!
@Unknown User no u
Star Wars anime was better than Disney Star Wars?! Expectations = subverted!!
This is what happens when you leave your plot armor at home
Crab Crayon
The rebels should have taken notes from the imperial commander. The only thing more unyielding than plot armor is that dude’s Tupperware hair.
Crab Crayon
Rebel officer:"sir the shields are down"
Rebel Commander: "where are the named protagonists?"
RO: "They left with the Home One"
RC: "DAMN IT".
RO: "sir?"
RC: "without shields or named characters... We are doomed... WAIT HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN ON SCREEN"
Ro: "an hour or so-"
RC: "THEN WE SHALL DIE A EXPLOSIVE AND SLOW DEATH GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!!!!!!"
"Their defenses are thinning out. Do not relent. Show no mercy."
"Whew. Lucky you said that. I was on the verge of relenting."
"...wha..."
"You know. Because I've never shown any mercy before. I wanted to see what it feels like."
"..."
"But you said not to show any mercy. I was about to do it, but because you said not to ..."
"We'll discuss this in further detail when we return to the ship."
"Oh, no doubt. But in the interim, nix on any relenting and no to that mercy thingie. Got it."
Long Live the Galactic Empire!
SW Episode VIII: HISHE
Most accurate starwars lore... This guy is a legend 🙂
Anime AND Star Wars AND high quality?
*Nerdgasms*
@Dustin Mathis Of the Weeb Force, by the power it is.
Slave Leia's going to get the tentacle treatment. Oooooooooooh boy!
Star Wars Fans: *IT IS OVER DISNEY, WE HAVE THE HIGH QUALITY*
*I can vouch for that*
I want more episodes! I'm a girl, we can handle multiple Os..Nerdgasms. So bring on the rest of Season 1!
The aesthetic of the animation reminds me of AKIRA (1988)
I'm getting a Robotech (macross) vibe
yeah absolutly ! it might be bc of all thoses neon
For me: Megazone 23
yeah. more Macross than Akira.
do you remember love?
This is the most Star Wars I've seen on screen since the prequels.
Eric Dayne most Star Wars I’ve seen since the clone wars
Best I've seen since Return of the Jedi...I mean a real long fucking time!!
You guys must have missed out on Rogue One
Calwin oh yeah...rogue one...
Really? I didn't see a single moment of sitting on a couch and talking politics.
"For the Empire, i give my life, for Order, for peace, i fight to destroy Chaos, to destroy traitors, rebels, and all who'd threaten our galaxy. For the Empire, let no rebel survive!"
These seven minutes are more awesome and worthy of praises than the whole Disney Sequelogy.
Couldn’t agree more
Not a hard bar to surpass but agree 100%.
well i don't agree but still the animation is goat
And more awesome and worthy of praise than the entire prequel trilogy as well
@@Hallucination respect your opinion i will agree with it i won't
This is soo good. The shots are so expressive, I was drawn to the action the whole time even though there was no context to the story. This brings back the glory of the originals, it was like watching the originals! I hope you make more!
Is it cuz it's animated? It felt way more original trilogy to me. The way the shots are framed, the timing and the music.
Basically, if Zeta Gundam was Star Wars. Plus Macross judging by the "Itano Circus" missile movement and animation.
The animator is apparently a fan of that Golden Age 80's Anime style... as am I.
3:05
RIP Luke and R2.
Or at least it looks like them. Could be separated twins. Wouldn't be the FIRST time that happened...
No. Yeah. That was Luke. The helmet is right.
@@_M_W_MacKay_it could just have the same markings.
I doubt it was luke, and r2. Those droids were like a mass produced produced unit not so ? , its just that the unit luke had was special. He had a personality.
That glorious back door strategy worked every time in the old star wars battlefront 2.
plus luke hasn’t really piloted a y-wing before afaik
At first, I wasn't a fan of the artstyle, but rewatching it, this is one of the best star wars animations ever. Happy New Year 2023.
The imperial navy is hands down one of the coolest sci fi fleets ever.
@MrDjBigZ WH40k ship designs are trash and doesnt come close to the iconic Star Wars doritos.
and there most powerful stations got destroyed by a star fighter and a pirate ship
@@ljtheone You cant defeat plot armor.
@MrDjBigZ Oh wow your fictional ship is stronger than this fictional ship. Doesnt matter, WH40k ship design is trash.
@MrDjBigZ In a space fantasy, rule of cool trumps practicality. Star Wars have beautiful ships unlike the bricks of WH40k.
Infinitely more superior than Star Wars: Resistance.
you're comparing apples to oranges. It's like saying Dragon ball z is better than Micky Mouse Clubhouse
@@wesley5729 not really they're both animated star wars story's so the Mickey mouse dragonball comparison makes no sense
Mike Perry Mickey Mouse club house and dragon ball are both animated as well
Fitz Family Guy and Curious George are both animated. Are they the same?
Aech’s Garage no but since they’re both cartoons you could use them to make a comparison to other cartoons
This a Akira type beat and I’m all for it
This animator made a DR Who episode, too.
@OocSNKZ Doctor Who is an old British TV show that aired in 1963-80's. BBC recently revived the show in 2005 and the show has been running since.
@@diapollockal8962 wait, which epsiode did he make?
@@Lewd-Tenant_Isan type in Dr Who Anime Full
Holy shit Ramirez?
I absolutely LOVE this animation style. Peak 90's aesthetic with updated detail.
Star Wars as an anime would kick ass. Stormtroopers/ Vader/ Imperials in general are tailor made for japanese animation
Actually there are manga versions of the movies.
@@mitsvanmitsvanio6106 THERE IS?! Good God! Can you give me a link?
@@George_Bulkin old comment maybe you already found one but there is this one: kissmanga.com/Manga/STAR-WARS-Lost-Stars
This showed why the Alliance avoids direct naval combat to a T.
And no Holdo "ram at lightspeed" maneuver. What a joke that was. Did anyone notice at the end of Rogue One where the Rebels were jumping out of system and the Empire was jumping in system? The last Corellian Corvette jumping out rammed into the last Star Destroyer as it was jumping in. So, head-on collision with both vehicles moving at lightspeed. If you follow the same inertia dynamics, that would double the force of the impact just as it does when 2 cars have a head on collision. You can clearly see the Corvette crumple like a soda can against the hull of the Star Destroyer. One scenario holds true & one doesn't. I hate this new era of Disney SW. They can't even keep their continuity straight.
In the SW novels, Luke and the Jedi Academy found an unused superweapon called the Sun Crusher. It had something called molecular armor, which made it indestructible. The purpose of the ship was to fly thru a sun at lightspeed, making it go supernova. The Jedi Apprentice Kyp Durron flew this ship thru the sun of a solar system where the Empire used on entire planet as a boot camp for training Stormtroopers, as well as having a shipyard where they made Star Destroyers. Even with the ship's inertial dampeners on full and protecting himself with a Force Cocoon, a pass thru just a gaseous object like a sun broke every bone in his body. He spent close to a year in a Jedi Healing Trance to recover. That's flying a ship thru a sun, which is what it was designed for. So imagine the force of 2 ships moving at lightspeed colliding head-on. The science just doesn't hold up. Sorry so long of an explanation. I hate the new SW. Give me fan fiction like this, Vader, or scene 38 of A new Hope reimagined any day, all day long.
@@jamesooten3659 I can't tell if you're criticizing Rogue One for the light speed mechanics, but if you are, then you're a dumbass for several reasons.
1. The Star Destroyer and the ships crashing into it aren't traveling at light speed. The Star Destroyer just came out of light speed and was still while the ships that crashed into it were about to enter light speed but hadn't yet.
2. The Sun Crusher was retarded, as is a lot of the EU, and shouldn't be looked at to reference points because it's beyond ridiculous.
3. If you are going to criticize the light speed continuity in Disney Star Wars, then the blame should rest solely on Rian Johnson and The Last Jedi for failing to follow the light speed mechanics set before it in previous films, not on Rogue One since it came before Last Jedi and no light speed collision is present in that film.
If these points do not apply to you then you are not a dumbass.
@@jamesooten3659you got a few things wrong.
it was a transport not a corvette and the sun crusher was intended to fire torpedoes not fly though suns.
@@williamt.sherman9841
Thanks for the correction, it's been quite a while since I had seen or read both. Still, the scene in R1 shows what a sham the Holdo maneuver was. No worries though, the Resistance is down to 10-12 members left (unless there's a secret enclave somewhere), so the Rebellion is effectively crushed. Thank you Disney, Rian Hohnson, & JJ for turning SW into Firefly. And that's insulting to Firefly.
When I played the game back in ‘94, I was so proud to be an imperial tie pilot........this is the way it felt
When I played it back then I was thinking I am such a badass just for surviving space-battles while flying this shieldless coffins called the Tie-Series.
Im totally playing that game now the steam version
Tie Pilots and the Empire deserve more honors than they got.
Legend of the Galactic Tie Fighters
That admiral is so badass! Gives me the chills when he said "leave no survivors".
That's the might of Empire wwe haven't seen in the movies adaptation.. damn Disney!
Jvin Santos This is how the Nazi Empire should actually appear.
@@weapoolx182 And US too ;)
@@tev2332 Sure dude!
I geeked out over the TIE Fighter's ion engines, showing the thrust vectoring capability. So cool!
You can also see the TIE's the lack of shields
And also the empire's lack of respect for their pilots
@@PK-Radio it's not that they had no respect it would cost them to much for shields
@@Clone_Trooper-zh5cn the republic could pay for shielded starfighters and a truckload of clones
I think they could afford cheap deflector shields
@@PK-Radio they had millions of tie fighter so yes it would cost them quite a bit to equip everyone with a shield
I think it's called thruster gimbal but eh tomato tomatoe
