These Behind-The-Scenes Photos Will Make You Rethink The Star Wars Movies

TIE Fighter

These days filmmakers rely on computers to create visual effects. However, Star Wars used real models and amazing camera trickery to great effect. Here is a shot of a TIE fighter in action as the cinematographers demonstrated their brilliant skills. They were ahead of their time and won many awards.

The TIE Fighter was the Empire’s main single-pilot vehicle with a menacing appearance. Their pilots also had creepy costumes as their helmets resembled black skulls. This aesthetic stood in stark contrast to the Rebels’ X-Wing fighters and their orange-costumed pilots (via Wired).
