TIE Fighter

Paul “OtaKing” Johnson delivers a delightful gem with his animated short, “Star Wars: TIE Fighter.” Featuring electrifying guitar solos and meticulous detail, “TIE Fighter” reimagines the Galactic Empire’s forces not as the expendable troops typically portrayed in the Star Wars saga, but as daringly audacious harbingers of destruction. Johnson dedicated four years of weekends to animate this 7-minute piece, and his passion and meticulous craftsmanship are evident throughout.
