Not too shabby, Sir.
I will have to agree with other reviewers on this one. It would've scored higher if it was longer.
Also, despite the animations being near perfect, there was one noticable flaw: The Rebel's gunfire. The bullets stopped and disappeared after a certain distance, no where close to the soldiers. Obviously that's how far it went in the litttle sprite animation you most likely had. (Or found on a site somewhere.) Basically, it needs to be fixed so the bullets leave 'off stage', so it looks like they're missing.
That, and I thought the planes had an attacking animation to them? I could be mistaking them for the drivable ones...
Summary:
Good start, animations have noticable flaws. 7/10
