TIE Fighter Short Film. Paul Johnson‘s TIE Fighter (2015) short film, a Star Wars-inspired fan film, has been released with sound by Zak Rahman and Joseph Leyva. TIE Fighter‘s plot and creation synopsis: “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.”

On the creation of TIE Fighter:

Drawn and animated by yours truly over 4 years’ worth of weekends, with music by the living guitar solo Zak Rahman and sound design by up and coming audio technician Joseph Leyva. Fans of Lucasarts’ seminal 1994 TIE Fighter game may notice a few familiar sights and sounds. That “incoming missile” noise gives me horrible flashbacks to this day…
