Very nice!
And the next scene follows (I did this some time ago, it has sound too), it’s called Luke’s nightmare…
Here’s my contribution, a lightsaber effect.
Video:
https://youtu.be/aRYvPah-hSw
Code:
https://gist.github.com/TwoLivesLeft/0ee267d280c5b0c90610
The basic algorithm extrudes a line of points (i.e., the blade) through previous transforms. You can use two fingers to swing the lightsaber around by its handle.
I tried to enhance the appearance through shaders, textures and blend modes.
I haven’t seen Force Awakens yet, but if that’s the actual title crawl @dave1707 should add a SPOLIER ALERT to his post!
I’ll have my light saber in blue, thank you. Great effect!
You can make some very simple games using TIE fighters because they are just a circle with a vertical line on each side for the wing. Below is some very basic code for making a bunch of TIEs fly toward the camera, see the video. Feel free to use any of it, if it helps you make something, eg a game where you have to touch them to destroy them before they reach you. You could also use these in a side scrolling or top scrolling arcade shooter game.

@yojimbo2000 I haven’t seen the movie yet, so I don’t know if that’s correct or not. I did a Google search for Episode VII and found those words. I guess someone who’s seen the movie can say.
EDIT: Actually, I think the last and only Star Wars movie I saw was the original one. VII is playing at the local theater, I might go see it Monday, or not.
When I made this yesterday, I didn’t have time to include the stars in the background before I went to bed. Here’s my updated version.
EDIT: Removed code. A see an updated version below after I saw the movie.
@Ignatz @kylewood & @yojimbo2000 - thx!
Here’s the code plus a couple of images for an updated version. You can now blast the targets on the ground (tap below ground level to shoot). Double tap to activate the tractor beam. No game engine (yet).
Here’s a preview video

Ignatz,
I was thinking of reproducing the old Atari 2600 Star Raiders, which was after all based after Star Wars space combat.
So we’re sneaking through this asteroid belt to avoid the Imperials…
does it need to be a game, or can it be anything starwars/ space related?
there are just two rules -
-
make something to do with Star Wars, and
-
have fun doing it
Just saw the movie. $4 tickets and the theater was about 1/10 full. Last Star Wars I saw was the first one in 1977. The original actors sure looked their age in this one. Of course so do I, so I guess it evens out.
$4?? Is that USD?
I think you must have gone to Phantom Menace by mistake (and you were overcharged).
@yojimbo2000 Yes, $4 USD. Normally when we go to the show, there’s only about 4 or 6 other people, so it seemed crowded at 1/10 full.
Here’s the opening crawl as well as I remember after seeing the movie. I still might not have the correct amount of words per line, but the color might be close.
