Fan Reactions

This is the best thing I have ever seen. I want to watch a whole 80s anime style Star Wars movie now. [2]

Get this man an animation team and let him make Star Wars shorts like this. I'd buy it. [3]

Using x-rays/cross sections to show the character's faces behind their helmets/masks is super underrated and needs to be used in more media. [4]

4:50 This feels like they are a squadron that has been in many battles, making them not only skilled pilots but also good friends. Even it's only for a few seconds and there's no dialogue, it still feels human, it feels like they are actual characters with chemistry between them you would meet and follow in an Empire-focussed show. Brilliant! [5]
