X-Wing Vs. TIE Fighter: The Anime
Sorry if I’m running a little behind on TR today. See, the problem is that I watched this fan-made, anime-style Star Wars cartoon by the legendary Otaking (who also made the Doctor Who anime, if you’ll recall), and it was so awesome than when I saw it I actually when into a little catatonic shock. The fact that it’s all space battles between Rebel and Imperial pilots makes it even better, in my opinion, if not more authentic-seeming. About the only thing it’s missing is a 15-year-old Chinese pop star for the main hero to lust inappropriately after. Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
