Touted as 'leaked footage' from the set of Star Wars: Episode VII, this video captures real, live AT-AT walkers, tie fighters, and other Imperial aircraft docking and taking off from a very modern-looking airport.

Completed with astonishing computer effects, the video's creator gives us a taste of what Earth may look like should the 'Empire' take over. The effects are so fantastically well done, the CGI bar has been raised to a new level for the next Star Wars movie, which is set to premiere in theaters December 18th, 2015.

Video publisher, Frank Wunderlich writes, "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."
