This may be one of the most awesome star wars fan shorts I've seen. Would you watch it? I probably would.

Also it was directed by an artist I've followed for a long time MightyOtaking, which I didn't realize until someone pointed it out

Selling Point #1: KICK-ASS 80s-esque mostly-guitar-metal soundtrack!

Selling Point #2: much "Rebel Scum" died...

Selling Point #2b: ...which is good because of the human-izing of the Imperial Pilots via the helmet-removal shots. Very cool!

Selling Point #3: no Lucas-penned dialog to endure.

For me it was the nod back to classic 80s / 90s anime which surprised me quite a bit. It was an homage to many things
