The Empire Invades San Francisco?

I found this way cool video from yet another person with far too much time on their hands!

Still, I love the little attention to details, like the atmospheric distortion of the Death Star and the contrails of the TIE racing through the air at high speed. The ISD above the Golden Gate bridge is awesome! My only gripe is that the Death Star should've been the completed Death Star from ANH.

While I give the person props for some of the detail... a lot of the footage is just boring, and this is made worse with the fact that the video doesn't go anywhere. The headline on the newspapers would be, "Empire invades, no one cared."

I think the point is that it's a boring touristy video. the empires been their so long, that while the hardware's cool to see... it's not really exceptional.

I liked it, I thought it was nice, a fun juxtaposition of RL and SW.

Except, as Flectarn said, the Empire's been there so long, it doesn't look like they invade, but simply patrol, and people are now used to it, judging by the people's reactions... :)

At 0:15, did anyone catch the waterdump from the ISD?

Also, at 1:21, I wonder what it is that the lady pedestrian is tossing (or trying to anyway) up to the AT-ST crewman? He tries to catch it, but it he misses or it bounces off and falls back to the ground.
