The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

TIE Fighter is a 2015 short Star Wars animated fan film set during the original trilogy. It was created by Paul Johnson (known as "OtaKing77077" on YouTube) over the course of four years. It depicts a space battle between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance from the Imperial TIE pilots' point of view. Johnson stated that the film is an homage to not only the anime style of the 1980s, but also the 1994 Star Wars: TIE Fighter video game, which the film uses sound effects from and borrows the logo design of. A remastered version, using sound effects and theme music from Star Wars Battlefront and Rogue One, was released in 2017 from "J Ramseier", with Johnson's approval. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
