    That Corvette had kind of a dangerous look at the beginning. Just kind of hanging back, slowly moving behind the shuttle, slightly off angle. Love the idea of a steady beam of energy type weapon, similar to what the Republic units used to attack the Separatist Core ships from the ground on Genonosis.

      It was a nice addition, and I like that it's a fully established weapon as well. I believe we even saw them using that weapon in the Battle of Coruscant in the opening of RotS to shoot out of a Venator's hanger bay, and I believe in rebels there was even a B-wing version with a similar weapon to this one.

      @@Timberwolf69 While we can debate our relatively small world Morales vs a fictional galaxy, Alderaan did have a small population. That in itself isn't justification for its destruction, but for a moment consider; anyone who was even remotely loyal to the Empire could of spoke out about treason to the Galactic Empire (Which would of spared the entire populace vs a handful of people in local government power), government that forgetting the meta information the viewers of the movie knows, was actually democratically voted for as reformation. We only dislike the Empire due to that meta knowledge we contain, but unironically Star Wars is art that imitates reality. If you dislike the Empire, you should dislike a lot of politics that people agree with, and go alongside each day. The success of the Empire and its propaganda, like all real life nations use today...would have the average person believe the Rebel are terrorists. Many in the core worlds, as well as outer rim actually see it that way as well. Hence why until the destruction of Alderaan, they were a small fringe band. Due to the destruction of Alderaan, kind of a mistep for the Empire in the long run, the Rebels were able to spin that as their own undeniable propaganda. To each their own, but this saga is one part religious war, vs ideology war in which Good and Evil are honestly in all actualities just shades of grey in comparison to warcrimes in the past before the "Galactic Civil War" period, very tame in fact.

    Loved this. The moment I saw the A-wings, I realized, "Those TIEs are doomed!" A-wings are, by my understanding, one of the strongest fighters the Alliance can field---X-wings might be the most iconic, Y-wings might be the most resilient, but A-wings are where it's at!

    There's so much subtle storytelling in this piece.
    The way the Star Destroyer jumps out right at the start, suggesting that it has Other Chores Today. The way that two TIE Vigilants are assigned to escort the shuttle--probably dispatched from the Star Destroyer to escort the shuttle to its rendezvous with six sentry ships from Lancer Base, and prepared to jump back into hyperspace and rejoin their carrier in a few minutes (or, perhaps they even transferred with the shuttle FROM Larsa to a deep space rendezvous with the ISD, and are simply completing their run and will return to their home planet after). Two of the regular TIEs break off to intercept and inspect the Convor, leaving the Vigilants to march on with their charge. The way the Corvette IMMEDIATELY shifts from stealth mode to full combat mode--turning guns and spewing ships in seconds.
    It's a perfect illustration of how Rebel hit-and-run tactics caused the Empire so much trouble--all in under five minutes of time.

I was really impressed by the piolets that were animated, I thought they were actors for a second. They voice acting wasn't too shabby either. I can only imagine what this channel would create if it had access to the resources of a major studio. Overall, really enjoying your content and hope to see more in the future

    "Charge up the beam and write Shack on the hull".. Sorry, wrong game, though same idea...

    My favourite thing is that you used the old explosion effects, that they used at the first few episodes of the original triology! And was verry fun to watch, expetialy the A wing dropout scene!

    Ok look, here's what's refreshing about this. First, the director's attention to detail, including the opening music starting after "a long time ago..." Second, A-wings are an interceptor class, and that's what they did here, and that's freakin awesome. Third, the Rebels actually win a fight, pay attention Abrams. And fourth? Pfft. Nose cannons, nuff said.

      Yep. The rebels didn't last so long without being able to win a fight. The Empire wouldn't even bother to hunt them down if they were really so incompetent.

    This is amazing. I fell in love with Star Wars due to the game TIE-Fighter back in DOS days and therefore I really enjoy this kind of space skirmish scenes. Thanks so much to all who were involved with the making of this and the other videos. Great work!
