That’s Gas! “Leaked” Star Wars Episode VII footage is fake… but still amazing

Major nerdgasm alert...

May the fake be with you…

If you’re a Star Wars fan then get ready to be filled with stupidly-giddy excitement as your midichlorians go into overdrive. YouTuber Frank Wunderlich has designed this fantastic fan-made video imagining what a Star Wars Imperial Starport would look like if it was based right here on Earth.

Here’s what Frank had to say about the footage…

“Looks like the Story of Star Wars plays on Earth too in the next Episode. I took these pictures on my Flight back from the States to Germany at the Frankfurt Airport. Seems like the biggest german airport plays a key role as an imperial starport in the new episode — there have just been imperial forces at the scene. Maybe the Rebelboys hide in Berlin… :-D”

Not really Frank, you just faked it all you ridiculously-talented phony.

As well expertly recreating AT-AT Walkers, AT-ST Walkers and multiple Imperial Shuttles, keep an eye out for the delightful background details such as the SLD-26 Planetary Shield Generator and that small moon up in the sky… wait a second! That’s no moon. It’s a space station!

Major nerdgasm alert…
