UnBoxed Films presents, TK-436: A Stormtrooper Story, the gritty tale of a loyal Imperial Stormtrooper who is forced to confront his past in the heat of an epic battle. Directors Samtubia & Samgoma Edwards imagined it from a perspective that is seldom explored within the Star Wars universe.
Winner of the 2016 Filmmaker Select Award at Star Wars Celebration Europe. It was chosen by a panel of judges that included Rouge One: A Star Wars Story's director Gareth Edwards, executive producer John Knoll of Industrial Light & Magic, and co-producer John Swartz.

You know what I like about this? It's the first time I've had the feeling that Star Wars is, in fact, a war
Spot on.
Hopefully Rogue One will give us that feeling too.
amen to that. Disney and even Lucas makes star wars feel more honorable and childlike than war
+Kwodo2875 probably not though. it will be just another light side vs. dark side ultimate evil, black and white, only one perspective. just more rebels killing people cause they say they are all really bad.
+Ao1 Pointblank or just the Empire doing their job as an intergalactic government
"I will never understand why you chose to fight for the rebels but I don't blame you". Powerful words there.
I theorize that something happened on their world that inspired her to join. Perhaps some one in her village was “made an example” much like uncle Ben on Tattoine.
reminds me of Democrats still screeching about 'Russian Collusion!'.. makes just about as much sense
@Han Lockhart What TK-436 is implying is that he forgives his love interest for joining the Rebels.
For him, he truly has faith in the Empire, and he believes in the promise of peace and stability that the Empire at least claims to be founded on. He fundamentally believes that the ends *can* justify the means. So, he can't or, at least on some level, refuses to understand why people would be so incensed by Imperial rule that they would resort to picking up arms against the state.
However, as I previously stated, he cares enough about the woman in the video that he can forgive her for joining the Rebellion that, from his perspective, is in the wrong. In fact, he ironically uses her betrayal and subsequent death to reaffirm his faith in the Empire.
@@self-satisfiedsmirk5544 While she, in maybe believing he was killed by rebels, saw it as motivation in joining the rebel movement, to kill those her dead luv would have called brothers in arms and doing her part to bring death, terror and chaos upon the galaxy.
In his view it is more frustrating; "I thought you are my dreamgirl for all eternity, and now I found you here, cucking me for some terrorists."
He had faith in something bigger than anything else. She had no faith at all.

You know I think, the movie Star Wars is a rebel propaganda/history re-writing, to make the empire and all of it's personnels as well as their arsenals look bad, weak, and cowards.
NoOnes Home87 that would make sense. Because I’m the old canon people used to enlist into the military they weren’t forced into to it. Not to mention it wasn’t just humans who served it was made of all races throughout the galaxy who fought for the empire.
It's about damn time the stormtroopers get some attention. I'm tired of those self centered Jedi.
true i agree
Yup

It's about time to restore the order to the galaxy. The First Order.
Exactly, I mean it's brutal how the rebels killed them. SPOILERS:
In episode 7. A storm trooper just washed his hand on Finn's helmet with blood. ew

When you realize how innocent stormtroopers were but then you..... palpatine
Damien Vader saved the galaxy from palpatine's rule
USMC Asf Ya. That innocent trooper that torched those two civilians at point blank range was just following orders, right? What the hells the matter with you people!?
Vern Hestand III The storm trooper burned Owen, and Beru because they were looking for the droids since they had the death star plans and didn't want to risk MILLIONS of imperial lives to be at risk... So they did good by killing them.
Uh...no. Stormtroopers were indoctrinated(see: brainwashed) as part of their training. Which is, of course, one of the many reasons The Force Awakens doesn't make a lick of sense.
+The Crimson Fucker you mean Finn? he was a defector. there were plenty of stormtroopers who defected over to the rebels.
The Fans are making better Star Wars Movies then the Company who owns Star Wars ...
Well that's great news
That's because they actually care about it.
But this one is juste good to be honest , the idea is brilliant but this is not a masterpiece!
Karim I'd be happier to watch this stuff than the cobbled together bullshit that old JJ and the accountants at Disney have just put out.
@@beardwierd2783 The absolute truth right there
This is how you do something fresh with Star Wars and actually make it more than the Disney cash cow it's become.
It's because the writers and director of this little fan film understand Star Wars and understand conflict and loss, they understand narrative and pathos, Disney makes movies for children and are motivated solely by profit and that is why they fail.
Ummmm those are some pretty strong feelings. Correct me if I'm wrong but not only did the Disney SW movies make money but were actually well reviewed and made, Rogue One is probably the second best SW movie ever made after Empire, and all 4 of the current Disney movies are far and away better than Phantom, Clones and Revenge which also made a boat load of money and we're not very good. Have you read the synopsis of what Lucas wanted for the next trilogy? Can the films be better? Maybe, they need a better stand alone identity, rather than ride the coat tails of the original trilogy, but they are not that bad especially considering the 2nd trilogy and the bullet we dodged that would have been Lucas' next trilogy. Lucas had moments, but by far he is not a great writer ( Vader and Padme romance is inexplicably horrible and completely unbelievable) nor is he a great director (the best SW movie, Empire, was not directed by Lucas)...you all just need to calm down
@@elvisdelapuente9182 are you actualy telling me that tlj, tfa, and solo are better movies than rots?! And you think that Rogue one is better than, not just rots, but better then anh and rotj?!?!? Excuse me for asking, but what kind of drugs have you been taking? The only new movie, that I can watch is Rogue one, but its miles away from being better than rots, anh and rotj. Tlj and tfa are just so bad, that they should remove them from canon. But solo is semi-decent just because of darth mauls little appearance. And the only reason as to why they made so much money, is because it has STAR WARS in the title.
I just want an answer to this one question:
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT TFA, ROGUE ONE, TLJ AND SOLO?
@@mr.tobjohn9877 We will never understand why little kids like today's shit movies over classics that were actually REAL films...
@@mr.tobjohn9877 I'm with you on TFA and TLJ. Rogue one however, was fucking awesome. I still have to watch Solo but i'm not sure I want to.
I love this because it's in a stormtrooper's point of view instead of a rebel's
Agreed because rebel alliance stories have been done to death.
yep plus the rebels to other people seem like terrorist
+Ethan Republic the Star Wars ISIS lol
so true. Imperials for life.
To me, Mandalorians and Imperials have a reason to fight no matter how bad they seem. An Imperial's life is as innocent as a rebel's..
Well, not really, Rebels look like terrorists..
This proves that Storm Troopers are people.
This is what star wars really is, a devastating war in which both sides suffer do to it's consequences, both sides are human beings
and.. 1200 different flavors of aliens, but sure!
War is Hell.
Anywhere, everywhere.

“This is war! Forget about your beliefs, forget about your past! This is war!”
The people in charge of star wars never seem to sympathize with the “bad guys”
It wouldn't work even if they did it right. Lucas said Star Wars was supposed to be our modern day myths. Good and bad are black and white in this universe it's been there from the beginning. Nevertheless, showing us the "bad guy's" perspective is always entertaining because they're more interesting.
@@micahwright5901 They could show us the bad guy perspective without making them the good guys.
Maybe have it be like the movie "Downfall" that basically makes the Nazis the protagonist while still having them be villains.
That’s because it’s like trying to sympathize with Nazis. You have to be a fucking moron to think the Empire was good.
Your just supposed to see a decent funny person get slashed or shot and be like "huhuhuhu funny comic relief!"
@@howdoichangemyusername9802 it’s a matter of saying that troopers are human too. They have emotion. They are not expendable, they are just as human as the rebels. There is no bad or good in a war. Every soldier on either side is fighting for what they think is good.
I thought it would end differently. I thought he would turn his back on the Empire, but it only reinforced his commitment. Interesting twist.

@Blue Everlast
Well we'll see what happens. After "Suicide Squad" and "Fantastic 4," the thought of reshoots is making me really uneasy. Rumor is that the movie was 'too dark' for the studio execs and felt too much like a war movie and that's why there was reshoots.
man are you gonna love Rouge one

A truly remarquable fan film indeed. I already was tied to the empire, but this film made me even more tied to the empire. Long live the stormtrooper corp. long live the Empire. Long live our emperor.
Yes.
GLORY TO THE EMPIRE nice to see someone with the same interests
Long Live The Empire!
Long Live The Empire and True Emperor Vader!
Death to Palpatine The False Emperor!
Get a grip, your fantasy is fascist in origin beware the mind games and blurring of reality. he called in a kill on his lover for an empire seeking order through enslavement. ring any bells?
Finally some backstory on the empires side! Love how he remained loyal to the empire. Great job!
I like, not everyone was conscripted into the empire. Many joined of their own free will and served proudly. Propaganda is a very powerful weapon & motivator. Very nice film. Keep up the good Work.
To be fair the republic was kinda ineffectual on a lot of things like pirate and "small scale conflicts" like the naboo invasion. The masses will always crave safety and stability.
It's not about propaganda, it's about context, for more developed worlds the empire was true good, the fact it was ruled by a Sith was irrelevant or maybe even a positive overall, it was mostly the underdeveloped worlds that relied on criminal activity that saw empire as a force of evil, you could make a political argument that the empire's bureaucracy limited freedom too much, on the other hand the republic limited freedom too little (aka lack of persecuting crime), still to the normal, law abiding citizen living on a world that didn't rely on business from criminals, empire would be net positive
"Keep your bayonets sharp, your powder dry and some hate in your hearts."
It’s beautiful, a trooper sacrificing his life, his will, and his humanity to protect his galaxy and his Emperor. A true act of sacrifice, willing to give up his life to help the galaxy.
For Empire and Emperor!

I love all these Star Wars vignettes about the Empire and how this "war" effects the soldiers and in a very real way. Well done
That was Amazing, I felt more emotion out of this short skit then any of the DISNEY Star Wars Movies. Great Job!
I agree
Apart from han solo dying.
Well the rogue one ending was pretty dope as well
You know, I think I did too.
Wow. This needs to be shown as a pre-movie short before Rogue One.
i really hope for this depth in Rogue One but i'm afraid i will be dissapointed
Speaking of which have you noticed that the trooper's girlfriend that died kind of looked like Jynn Erso a little bit because of her look and outfit?
Gabriel Tejada yes I noticed. (Jan Ors btw)
oh wait you are right it's Jyn Erso but she seems to be heavily based on Jan Ors
ThousandTimesNo imagine if this is a foreshadowing of her death in the movie.
She was part of the rebel alliance and a traitor.
As if you'd be any better under the republic, the core worlds have never been better.
The traitor was the Love of his Life...
The Republic was on its way to restore peace to the Galaxy. When your corrupt Empire showed up, you started conquering planets, destroying them and enslaving the races living on them. The Alliance to restore the Galactic Republic will bring peace to the Galaxy.
Coday. the jedi are the corrupt ones including the damm republic did u nit forget it was them who started this mess also it was also the republic is made one of the CIS general into what he is general grievous
Coday You're probably referring to Alderaan, a planet that was financing and arming terrorists, not to mention that they were plotting for open war against our empire.
And Wookiees were harboring Jedi who plotted to overthrow the appointed chancellor and install a theocratic government where they could steal as many children as they wanted.
"What's so civil about war, anyways?" Great movie, well done.
i felt more emotions in this 12 min fan film, than 3 full length Disney star wars movies.
"War never changes"
Raynor Stephenson it dose with vault tec
Precedent: the American Civil War saw many instances of relatives on either side of the conflict killing each other.
Brothers, cousins, Fathers and sons faced each other in that war.
I am especially impressed that TK436 is not 'evil' but rather a 'good soldier'.
What surprised me the most is that the girl didn't join!
I had framed in my head the guy was staying behind, joining the rebels.
Oh well.
but she did join the rebels
Same with Spanish Civil War
I"m glad he didn't join the rebels. it only made him more committed to the empire. Its refreshing and original compared to most of the recycled stories we get through books, movies, and games rather they be canon or non canon.
Every civil war has had families divided. Sometimes by ideology, sometimes just because they were at different sides of the front-line. And all sides commit atrocities, always.
I so hated it in the game Force Unleashed, you get to be Darth Vaders appreantice....and you kill Stormtroopers..wtf!
I love the Empire, i love the troopers. When i was a little kid i got to see Star Wars for the first time, never heard of it but the girl next door had it recorded from TV and thought i would like it. From the moment i saw the Stormtroopers i became a Empire Fanboy. I couldn't care less for Luke, i just wanted to see more Troopers! Now 24 years later i still love the Empire and i still think the Stormtroopers are the coolest characters in the Universe.
damn this brought a tear to my eye, so many good stories, no light sabers, no force abilities, just good story telling
Absolutely wonderful effort, if only Disney would inject the same level of passion into their movie franchise as you have done!
Someone call up Disney and tell them to make this canon
Fuck Disney
Yea you are right! They would just ruin it!
Too much emotions for them ^^
Rebel Jester you do know that disney owns the franchise when its going down technically Saving star wars.. they also don't direct star wars movie...
Adam Mikhail Disney direct the movies... Less than the productor who makes it but it does ;)
Even worse, Ends up having Ewok use his Helmet as a bongo.
Ewoks are kind of terrifying if you think about it.
They're established as man eaters... So they didn't just take those helmets, they probably ate was was left inside it too....
Thanks for the laugh. Great comment
Fantastic film. All is fair in love and war. Think realistically how many times in World War II that something very similar really did happen.

+SpooneyToe11240 is it like this fan made film?
+SpooneyToe11240 a better book would be one that inroduces the more novel concept of defecting from the rebels to the empire. but I'm pretty sure once you make rebel friends, there's no going back
One of better fan movies I've seen regarding the Star Wars universe. A very unique aspect in what makes a Stormtrooper and what he must do to survive. I really loved the "grittiness" that the film presented. Well done.
Vzon it made Star Wars combat seem larger and more dangerous than real life combat by including aspects of real life combat that even Rogue One lacked.
The good guys and the bad guys, is just a point of view. Brilliant little film. Loved it!!
honestly i think that the rebel alliance is not really that much better morally than the empire, i mean there's obviously black and white moral differences for their leaders but i don't think that storm troopers are bad people, what the movies fail to do is show the true nature of war, not just a watered down black and white story, which is why i kinda enjoyed this more than most of the movies.
Sorry not much interested in reality I want the black and white.
I mean... we don't see much at all. Sure soldiers are humans, but one side is building a planet destroying space station and utilizing it on a planet that has a ruling class that sympathizes with dissidents.
I mean do you feel there needs to be camera action of state-slavery, prejudicial institutions, dissolution of people rule (the Senate is dissolved and the military governors will rule in their place), state violence/seizure of private property?
@@carnivoriousleaf considering there is a full scale rebellion (which frankly operates a lot like a decentralised terrorist organisation) it's understandable that they would institute martial law...

I wish there was a video game like this instead all focused on the “perfectly good rebels” it could be more like this
So true. Battlefron 2 was promising, but then the main character suddenly realized that they are on the wrong side and go full traitor.
Exactly. And the rebels aren't even the good guys. They're terrorists, murderers, theives, and traitors who wish to remove an entire government that brings order, and peace. Just to replace it with their broken Ideology. Hell they massacred billions of fathers, sons, daughters, wives, husbands, brothers, sisters, etc, blowing up both death stars. and people say that "Oh blowing up Alderan with the death star was atrocious." It wasn't Alderan was a millitary target, and in WAR millitary targets are what people will go after.

though a better story would be a cheaper way to make this into a good movie.
Forky Forklift yep
Yes, it's the story that counts. And it's a good story. But the stormtroopers helmets and armors are bad, and they can make the people's clothing more "star wars" looking, not just regular clothes. It's those little details what make movies much better.

Love this, specially the ending. It would be so predictable for him to lash out in anger, jump in the seat of the gun and become a rebel, that would of been the Hollywood way. But instead, he finally feels free, to finally be able to fulfill his duty to the Empire as a Stormtrooper.

This was alright but something was majorly wonky about the Stormtrooper armor.
@John Smith haters gon hate, story was excellent
Read the Fun Facts in the description.
I think the Battle we see at the end is the Imperial Retaliation at Yavin IV after the Rebels start evacuating.
That makes so much sense
I don't think so. First battle he was in was the search for the droids on Tatooine, then the second shown is clearly the battle of Hoth. It's probably near the battle of Endor at this point.
Welp. I'm sad now.
Same. But still awesome.
well, he served the emperor, and they were killing rebels.every rebel chose their side, and pays the price for it.
super jedi player Every Imperial Trooper also...
This was amazing! Deserves to be canon :)
And people say there is no story left in Star Wars. There is a God damn galaxy of stories and Tk-436 is just one.
I my hope is that there will be new characters, new takes, perspectives, triumphs and failures.
Please let writers write.
Cool vid... but you made the x-wings shoot green lasers which is killing me cause they're supposed to be red
Elvis Presley it's kinda killing me how the x wings didn't even go into position
beacause Troopers are so bad soldiers, you can shoot them in cruise mode easily...
That is very true
Maybe they ran out of red
FantasticPyroclastic Stormtroopers aren't bad st shooting. They just made it look that way because it was a cheesy way of not killing the main characters.
The resistance only makes jokes about these storm troopers calling them Bucket heads but storm troopers go through alot more pain and suffer because they do what there doing for there loved ones
and sometimes they find out there loved are rebels and can be forced to kill them.
I have never felt so utterly crushed and saddened by any other bitter ending than this. Truly a beautiful work and a great service to the Star Wars community upon the part of all those who contributed to this films making - something I wouldn’t say of Disney’s work with Star Wars with their substantial budget yielding a meager plot line and detached characters.
Why can't we get writers like this for the new movies coming out?
phillip white we have Mouse for an emperor!
cos hollywood is cowardly and only looking for making a cash grab not art
The writing isn't that good. It's a typical story of finding a loved one on the other side, it's not that hard to replicate.
because Hollywood wants writers pushing the message of leftist gender confused womyn's socialism.... or something like that.
First off, i'm 47 years old. I was 8 in 1977 when Star Wars first hit the theaters. Seen all the movies on the big screen. "Empire" was the best, "Force Awakens" the worst. My friends, thank you for showing us some of the best here. LOVED IT, AWESOME, PLEASE DO THE ENTIRE MOVIE NOW!!!
Awakens wasn't bad, just a little dissappointing
Unbelieviable. There's always someone to compare episodes and talk shit about prequels or The Force Awakens, and of course, always moved by a infantile "nostalgic feeling" that can't accept what's is new just because it's new.
This is for sure, the worst time to be a Star Wars fan, with all this hate with 4 of the 7 movies, sometimes even 5 of 7, and it will get worst and worst as the new movies will be launch.
Nostalgic fans who can't love all the saga, (and I'm talking about love all the episodes besides their mistakes, since even the classic trilogy has a lot of them) please, make us a favor: go watch and rewatch the original trilogy on VHS and stop spreading meaningless hate.
Unavoidable. Yet another fella who is just completely unable to accept the opinions of other people. To be young and "fresh" is not an excuse to do shit. :D
I am the same age as SuperGitfiddle, saw all movies and more, don't agree about TFA. We all have our opinion and the freedom to express it. I do agree that this fan film was pretty good and would like to see more. Just because we are older doesn't always mean we are afraid of change ("fresh"). The story must go on and we know it going to take a passing of the torch.
Curious about something; how much chronic butt hurt do you guys deal with on a fucking day to day bases?!?! Someone says good morning, what the hell do you respond with? "PISS OFF! THEY DIDN'T GREET EACH OTHER LIKE THAT IN FORCE AWAKENS"! Its a damn movie (well....sort of) that wasnt all that great, my opinion, get over it or 'comment' on it some more so i will know you are at least thinking about me and that your time is WELL spent on such a beautiful subject as myself.
Very good movie! What is most impressive is that it did not follow the tired trope of the brother blaming the Empire for killing his sister and joining the Rebels to fight the Empire he suddenly saw as evil. Instead he saw her as a victim of the Rebel's indoctrination and now he must save other children from being corrupted. I wonder if Hollywood would ever have the balls to make this kind of Star Wars movie...
The girl was his girlfriend, not sister... LMAO
FRIENDZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONED XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Heh. I doubt it. Doesn't seem like they took a hint with Rogue One. I liked the direction the books were going in, but Rogue One seems like a total 180.
Right, it is a story about indoctrination, they are not bad they are just following the wrong leaders, the way TK-436 ends up totally convinced that he is the one bringing order to the galaxy is brutal, it is life, he considers that the rebels are to blame because of the dead of his fiance, it is tragic and beautiful
Brian C wait what she is his sister i thought they were lovers
This shows that the people of the empire were just normal people too, who were just trying to defend there homes and there future, this is why I’m for the empire
It's always so surreal to see a stormtrooper take off their helmet. The armor does such a good job at turning the soldiers into a faceless mass, that it almost seems impossible for any of them to have a face underneath.
Shiny armor is the new stuff issued to green recruits. And they can't shoot for sh*t!
Beaten up, stained and damaged armor is worn by battle hardened veterans who know how to shoot.
I LOVED the depiction of ST armor that had seen combat: new damage laid over older pits and scars.
you know there is saying " a knight in a shining armor is the one who never had his armor tested"
-some random mandalorian-
The damaged armor took me out of it for a second but i do like you take on it. makes sense
+Brandon Weeden just goes to show how inexpierienced all the troopers the "heroes" have killed in the films. they likely never even aimed their find at a person, much less shot them.
+Ao1 Pointblank *guns
clean uniforms mean little experience lol
This film proves that a movie from an Imperial perspective is not only possible, but necessary to the furthering of the Star Wars universe.
He upheld THE LAW!
TK-436:"my skin is my armor
my face is my helmet"
Mando:"Hey,that's my line!"
This is 10000 times better than The last Jedi.
Lol never heard that 10000 🤦🏾♂️
@Reverse Fuhrer this one sucked compared to the new Darth Vader fan film lmao
Nabilio Both were good for what they were worth
Wrong. This is 2000000 times better than The Last Jedi
Are you kidding me ?
A better love story than the entire prequel trilogy.
My relationship with my goldfish is a better love story than the entire prequel trilogy.
why does everybody hate the prequel trilogy? I love them including JarJar. Ok love is a really strong word for him, maybe tolerate ;)
It was okay I guess... It could use more virgin births though
amen
@gifty sands
Reason 1: YIPEEE!!!
Reason 2: Midichlorians
Reason 3: Anakin openly admits to Padme that he brutally massacred and murdered a tribe of sand people but they still end up fucking for some reason
Reason 4: If the script starts to not make sense, the force is used as a cop out to make it make sense
Reason 5: Somehow allegations that the Jedi were trying to stage a coup is enough of a reason for the entire galactic senate to just let Palpatine be the emperor without limits on his power even though the Jedi probably make up a total of 0.00000000000000000000000000000001% of the entire galactic population and obviously pose little threat as evidenced by the scenes where Jedi fucking masters are embarrassingly gunned down by clone troopers even though we see them in previous movies (and even in scenes from the same movie) as an unstoppable force on the battlefield that can only be stopped by other Jedi or very skilled warriors.
I could go on but I won't.
War Sucks:A Stormtrooper Story
Wish Animation Studios 許願動畫工作室 that would be a awesome 2.5 hour long movie
Some Guy Disney will never do especially more adult themed Star Wars
For the ones that had not read the many star wars books available, the empire troops were convinced that they were the good guys, but the empire was enslaving all the non human species, and keeping that secret, this story touches me in the way that, in the real world, there were (and are) so many soldiers fighting for the wrong cause, but convinced otherwise, and yes, they are doing it for their loved ones, great to see another film about the stormtrooper point of view.
Oh I know late to the party, but this is even 4 years later still a great Star Wars Short, should get some more attention even in 2020!
That was amazing... Cried... Beautiful.
MarkusChannel me to
Same brothers. Same.
MarkusChannel by the mighty emperor me too );
TK-436: "My goal is to bring order to the galaxy, by an means necessary." I feel so sorry for him 😞
Use your imagination Not much different of the way US in ww2 when the nuked japan
NoobDeGuerra Sigh, ignorant kids...First of all, your grammar sucks. No, the American soldier didn't fight to bring "order." America was never the aggressor in WWII. It wasn't until Pearl Harbor that American opinion was swayed enough to support entering the war. We were fighting to prevent our country from being attacked again and to defend our allies. Finally, did you ever think just how many people would have died if the US was forced to invade Japan with ground troops? A heck of a lot more than the 129K that died at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Look up Operation Downfall. We are lucky that Japan decided to surrender. A ground invasion of Japan would have been a bloodbath.
It's also well known that the Empire was modeled after Nazi Germany. Why does anyone even need to tell you that? It is incredibly obvious.
k
How else are you going to fulfill that mission?
I’ve watched this multiple times and it keeps getting better. At first I wasn’t keen on the Stormtrooper kits, but it makes this film so much better with the imperfections. Well done!
I just love a story with a happy ending! I'm glad that he finally got his head on straight, and chose the Empire. 😎
Long live the Emperor!
You made the right choice. Now. Clean the bathroom stalls.
For the Empire...
Great job everyone involved!
didn't expect you here :D
Probably costumes by Ruby's
Make It Dirty hey its you :D
Should be nominated for Honorary Oscar for the efforts that put in by FANS!!!, Incredible
How sad. What has Star Wars become? The fan fiction is better than the canon movies. I would totally pay to watch a full length version of this than see something like the The Last Jedi again.
Lost stars is a half decent novel if thats what you are looking for.
Wow what a moving story and it was nice to see how the war affected people on the other side who knew nothing about the evil they were serving and yet could still get caught up and enlisted into doing evil themselves.
MrBracey100
This is the true meaning of emotional. Well done.
More like the true meaning of cheesy**
@@Christian-oi7sd one does not stop the other.
They did pass forward the feeling of loss and the détermination it can bring.
But it also is very cheesy due to lack of funds.
So powerful no matter how many times I watch it
Can Disney just swallow their pride and contact one of the many fans making these great films and ask for some advice?
Really puts the Wars in Star Wars
Why cant we get a videogame like this??!
Its called Battlefront 2
Yes but why don't they make a new game thats more story based? Battlefront was a huge success even tho the story wasnt that well made ( it was greatbut ih hope you get the point) .Or a singleplayer only open world bounty hunter rpg Captain Tiel
+TH-cam Account#:457 I know. The original Starwars battlefront II was awesome but imagine the story told by a new game with all the modern possibilities
Max Jonte Michelsen p
Tiel And she joins the Rebels in the second mission...
Wow. I have watched fan films since "Troops" was released all those years ago and this one ranks among the very best from my perspective. Loved the emotional connect that builds throughout and the twist at the end that I really didn't see coming. If only Disney could understand how to create a story as well as you clearly do. If only. Thank you for making and delivering this piece to all of us.

Heartbreaking and beautiful.
