Seeing a rebel pilot being treated as a villain was chilling. His visor hiding his eyes was a really cool visual touch.
-
Never thought I'd see the day when the empire gets treated a bit more seriously.
-
I loved getting to voice Varko Grey, and bring a different perspective to the Imperial side. I remember watching this for the very first time the day this short dropped... I couldn't believe what I was seeing, and that I got to be a part of the Star Wars universe. Hope folks enjoyed playing Star Wars: Squadrons, and a special welcome to my new Imperial pilots. Welcome to Titan Squadron. 😊

Everyone is talking about how good the animation was, but no one is talking about how good the soundtrack was. It was amazing.
-
"There have not been such great cinematic shorts like this one since the days of the Old Republic."
-
Rebel pilot: the war’s over, imp Tie pilot: Call an ambulance...But not for me!
-
Would watch a movie centered around a TIE fighter pilot.
-
Wait, the Empire is just...people? Always has been.
-
This is where the fun begins
-
The imperials having more personality and the fact that you want the "bad guy" to live seems like the game is going to have a good story
-
I can’t imagine being left behind like that it would be so scary
-
Having played the game now for a fair while I'm impressed as to how close this cinematic is to the game. It's all there: the Energy distribution, energy dumps to required system, boost, drift turns, counter measures, weapons recharge, etc. I remember the Elite: dangerous launch trailer and then other videos dissecting it: "you can't actually do this", "this is not possible", "oh if only they had included this", etc. Having a game cinematic which actually fully embraces the game is very refreshing.
-
TIE fighter sound effects are to this day one of the greatest sound effects ever made.
-
10 minutes later: 795 things you missed in the new trailer
-
When Gray pulled that hard turn creating the wall o' water and the Imperial theme started...I LOVED IT!!!! Such a masterful use of music in addition to an amazing scene and bit of storytelling.
-
5:20 Finally, a TIE Pilot who takes advantage of his fighter’s Insane maneuverability…
-
Finally a loyal imperial that fights on even when the odds are against him
-
So the X Wing pilot looks menacing. That’s a new twist and I like it.
-
it's so sad that ea just sorta abandoned this game after launch because it is genuinely some of the most fun I've had in a star wars game in a long while
-
3:50 Can we talk about how the TIE Pilot literally said, “No U” to the enemy missile? That’s one hell of a countermeasure…
