You guys know I love a good fan film, and that’s what we have for you. Uploaded earlier today, TIE Fighter was a four year project by animator Paul Johnson. He describes it on Youtube as:

What if there was an Empire-focused 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.

It’s only seven and a half minutes, but it’s well worth your time. Check it out:

They also wrote and drew the now completed webcomic UnCONventional, and produce the podcasts BS-Free Witchcraft, On This Day With Trae, Stormwood & Associates, The Meatgrinder, and The Nerd & Tie Podcast. This leads many to ask how the heck they have the time to get it all done. Trae says they have the time because they “do it all quite poorly.”
