Thank you! Many people didn't think we could pull it off with getting an A-list star like him on, but sometimes you gotta fight for what you believe in!
Why is this so underrated? I hope it gets more reach. Lars mikkelson role was nice. Really amazing alien costumes and setup it just looks so high budget level quality
And all of this was done on a budget corresponding to about 1% of the budget of a single episode of "The Mandalorian". The power of volunteer efforts mixed with super talented people!
We have a Facebook Page, where a lot of the info on the creation of the film is present: facebook.com/sarwarsstarwars But long story short: He's an acting colleague and I presented a strong story for him. Plus it helped to have a test scene ready that showed him, what we were capable of: th-cam.com/video/MB72G7JdW-I/w-d-xo.html
So this is where Grand Admiral Thrawn have been hiding all these years 😀 Kudos to all involved for an amazing job. There is no try, only do and you all did.
I'd previously worked with him on a television series called "Ride Upon The Storm", which he won an International Emmy-award for. So we already knew each other and he's just a really down to earth kind of guy who enjoys a challenge.
Would you be okay with us sharing your comment in a short trailer for the episode? It would probably help our future fans to know that others have been delighted by the work! :-)
This was actually great. The tension, the pacing, music, dialogue. Plus I can't believe you got Lars Mikkelsen to play a Rogue Jedi. He's cool af as a Jedi
Having specifically written the character for Lars Mikkelsen, I wholly agree that Lars as a Jedi is quite the experience! And thank you for appreciating the work in its many other facets. A lot of hard work was poured into it!
Lars Mikkelsen was excellent. I Thought it was him and as soon as I heard his voice. I knew it was the man who played Thrawn. So excellent that he is appears in your film. He is such a great actor. He shines like a diamond. The bar scene looks awesome. The aliens, costumes, and set were of high production value. I wish the Disney Star Wars series had more aliens. Well done!
Thank you, Ava! And agreed about Lars Mikkelsen! When I came up with the idea of him as a Force Wielder, I knew that there had to be ONE particular thing he'd be adept at and that was the Jedi Mind Trick, because who in their right mind wouldn't do what he said with that brilliant voice of his? :-D Thanks for watching. :-)
This is one of the best Star Wars fan films I've ever seen. Take notes disney, oh wait they don't care about making quality Star Wars content anymore...
@@SarwarsStarwars if you enjoyed andor I'm happy for you. I for one and done with disney. They have insulted the fans, poorly written too many shows an movies, and their executives are trying to groom kids in negative ways. I'm just going to watch awesome fan films like yours from now on. That's where Star Wars still lives for me.
This is the best Star Wars Fan Film I have ever seen...it could be put on television tomorrow. Every aspect of this film was top notch...the acting, sets, effects, sound, story...just amazing!
Thank you! Our goal was for the entire released episode to be the best fan film ever, so it'll be interesting to see, how people will rate the different parts against each other... :-D But no, it is a work that needs to be seen together to garner the full appreciation as it's really interconnected.

I cannot wait for Part 2. You guys went all out with the prosthetics for the aliens, the special effects were the best I've seen from a fan project, and the leads were fantastic. On top of that, it just really FELT like Star Wars, which is probably the most difficult thing to achieve. Bravo!

took me a second to realise that the old guy was literally Grand Admrial Thrawn ,that's so cool that you guys got him to do this film with you i really enjoy fan films and this is one of my favourites
Glad to hear that you've appreciated it so much that it's among your favourites! That's what the work is done for and it's very encouraging to hear. Thank you!
Eleonora el-Azem did an amazing job designing the costumes and her team of costume designers really helped us create this lived-in experience that I was eager to have the clothing look like.
WHAT?! That was amazing! I have never seen a Star Wars fan film quite as high-caliber as this, and I can't lie when I say I've watched close to a hundred. This was pure cinema from the opening shot until the credits rolled, and I will definitely be back to watch it again and again. Incredible work.
Thank you! That means the world to us! Would you be okay with us sharing your comment in a short trailer for the episode? It would probably help our future fans to know that others have been delighted by the work! :-)
That's wonderful to hear! Sophia sets a high bar for her entertainment channel, so it's great that fans of hers can find value in my channel as well. :-)
Gun Kata had too short a life span in film and that's a bloody shame. Joon (of JP Stunts) and I were discussing how we could make blaster bolt fights different and more intriguing and this was one of my great desires to bring to a universe with colorful blaster fire, since I'm a BIG Equilibrium fan. :-) A lot of effort was put into having light spill on the characters and surroundings, so it looked as real as possible, knowing that it is quite a fantastical style to bring in to a story that's trying to be as grounded as possible. But it IS Star Wars. We gotta have some spectacle, right?
This is an absolute masterpiece. The setup, the overall mood, the effects and most of all the dialogues and pacing are all impeccable. I was glued to the screen during the exchange between Tulek and Vendal, the atmosphere was so tense, brilliant acting by Mr Sarwar and Mr Mikkelsen. This belongs on the big screen, I am already 100 percent hooked. A big thank you to everyone involved for creating this masterpiece, I hope this project gets continued! Can’t go more Star Wars than this…
Thank you SO very much for your comment! You're probably our prime audience, judging by what you felt was engaging, so I'm quite pleased to hear from you. :-) We'll be putting up a sneak peak of Part II soon enough on our channel. ;-)
This was really good. Thank you. Did a great job. The dark jedi was great and the bounty hunter grew on me. Keep it up. Rather watch this than disney.....
One of the proud SFX-artist of the production here! Lots of love go out to everyone, who have had and continue to have hours of work on this! And thank you to all backers and fans! Good things come to those who wait (even further) - there are LOTS of shots I'm looking forward to as much as the next guy :)
So very happy to have had you onboard the project! And we're all VERY MUCH looking forward to seeing how people respond to your astounding work on one particular scene... ;-)
I felt the same way. I heard the hang drum for the first time in my life as I was walking on the Main Street of Copenhagen many years ago and a gentleman was playing it and I was mesmerized. I knew then and there that I had to add it to a film soundtrack or in a story somehow, and this seemed like the perfect place to do it!
We're doing our best to make sure that it gets there! But we're gonna need some media attention, if we're truly gonna make it into those numbers, as it rightfully deserves (maybe a little biased here... :-D)
So many emotions watching all of our hard work come together so beautifully! ❤❤❤ This project opened up so much for me, we accomplished so much! Nice work to the entire cast and crew, and especially Shahbaz for honoring everyone’s efforts and making sure it got published!
Sometimes the algorhitm just isn't with you. I'm hopeful that it'll kick up sometime during the last five months of this year, but I'll be honest, it's been a bit surprising that it's flown so massively under the radar. Hope more fans like yourself get wind of it! And thank you for watching!
MAKE SURE YOU WATCH IT ON A BIG SCREEN PEOPLE! I waited to sit down and take the time to watch on my TV instead of my phone or computer screen. Best idea, best viewing experience. If I could watch it in a theater, that's the only way it could have been better. Great job guys, I can't wait for the next part!
I'm glad to hear that you responded well to the writing! The first part is especially focused on creating a sense of danger more through words than physical actions and having Lars deliver that threat was a treat!
I’m at a loss for words to describe just how much I loved this film and how awesome it is! Just amazing!!!! I am looking forward to part two! Can’t wait!!!
@@SarwarsStarwars your are truly deserving of praises for the work you’ve produced! This is much more than just a fan film, this is Star Wars. I don’t know how else to put it.
Thank you! Almost all of the costumes were hand-sewn for the performers, so the costume department will be glad to hear that their work is still highly appreciated.
Thank you! I feel that this episode's biggest focus is exactly dialogue, so I'm happy that it's being pointed out! And Lars Mikkelsen is fantastic in this!
I have to say, even though I’m old enough to have seen the original SW at the cinema as a child in the 70’s - I loved it, obviously, as I was the right age for it - that I’m not a SW fan in general, in fact my enjoyment of them and any subsequent spin-offs ended with The Empire Strikes Back. But this fan film was utterly superb and very compelling. Quite apart from the excellent production values it was the acting of the two leads, it was brilliant and imo superior to pretty much any of the actors in the official releases. I’m really quite taken aback at how much I enjoyed it and will definitely keep an eye out for subsequent chapters. I’m genuinely blown away by the quality of the acting, and pretty much everything about it. The entire premise was brilliantly thought through and realised. A massive “well done” to all those involved. I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it must be to cultivate and produce a project as thoroughly as this, and that’s quite apart from running the gauntlet of judgement from “proper”, as it were, SW universe fans. Absolutely brilliant, really.
Thank you so very much for this comment. One of the things I was aiming for with this fan film was to bring storyline and acting to the forefront, and though I absolutely humble myself to the greatness of one of Denmark's master thespians, Lars Mikkelsen, I also felt that it was important that I justify my position in front of the camera, since I am wearing many "hats" on this production. I'm greatly appreciative of your words and I look forward to hearing back from you, when the two other parts are out, which bind the whole story in this together in a way that this first part can't do alone. Can you tell me how someone who's not necessarily an avid Star Wars fan have come across our work? I find that most people who watch these types of work specifically search for Star Wars Fan Films, and it's always interesting to hear from people who might not have searched in that way?
@@SarwarsStarwars Do you know what? I couldn’t have told you before yesterday who Lars Mikkelson is, even though upon googling his name, it turns out I’ve watched quite a few TV shows that he’s been in. And it was only reading the other comments I learnt he’s played Grand Admiral Thrawn in the official releases, and I have to add that at no point was I watching yours and his performances and seeing any disparity in your respective acting abilities, seriously, none whatsoever, not that I’m any sort of a critic, I hasten to add, but as a neutral audience member I honestly wouldn’t have known, which is the highest praise I can think of. Knowing this now I can only imagine it must’ve been pretty daunting to act opposite such an obviously consummate professional, but you absolutely held your own. As to how I came to watch it I think it was simply that because I occasionally go down a TH-cam sci-fi rabbit hole the algorithm pushed it my way and I was sufficiently intrigued to watch it. I’m really late to the game, though, because although I’ve been aware of written fan fiction for years, it hadn’t actually occurred to me that there would be fan films, even though they’re the next logical step. Anyway, that’s enough from me and thanks again for your film, and like I say I look forward to further instalments.
Fellow Andor fan then? :-D Part II will be QUITE action heavy, but will also up the dramatic stakes set up by this part, so I hope you'll enjoy that as well. :-)
It's been hidden in plain sight from a lot of folks, unfortunately, but we're always happy to receive new fans! If you know any other people who'd like to see this, it would be awesome if you'd share it with like-minded fans! :-) Thank you for watching and do come back for Part II, coming soon!
OKAY, this the Star Wars spirit I missed so dearly for the late Star Wars fan films. This has the same magic, I felt in the late 2000's fan films, where the creators actually had a vision - not just a random forest, with a short film story. You have original characters; you managed to introduce your characters mostly throung conversation, but the visuals were still dope. And you clearly knew how to make a film. I belive when a cinematographer is also a Star Wars fan, its a very special, maybe the most special achivement, when he is able to make his own Star Wars film. This is definitely shows how enthusiastic you were about it. The costums were neat - sometimes they had some Star Trek vibe, but after the late Star Wars shows. I was happy I had some aliens . And Mr. Mikkelsen really pleases us, Star Wars fans, for showing up in a fan made production, despite being such a big star! And his acting was so on spot! I really wish to see the second part asap : D keep up the good work, and I hope you had a wonderfol time creating it!
Thank you, Larion, for your astute observations! One of my main focuses for locations was: NO FORESTS! :-D Exactly for the reason mentioned by you. And since most of the people involved actually work in the film industry, it really helped elevate the quality of the final output. With the budget just around 1% of a single episode of "The Mandalorian", I'll gladly take "Star Trek vibe"! :-D The character of Okana Vidai was specifically written for Lars Mikkelsen, so it did feel like a natural fit for him to portray him. And yes, he's beyond awesome for agreeing to work for 8 days for $0, because he believed in me and the project. A life changing moment for me and the project itself when he confirmed his participation. About it being a wonderful time... Honestly, a lot of it was really grueling. Especially post production, because there were SO many rejections. Having reached out personally to app. 5000 VFX-artists over the course of two years... looking at the number I had for the episode, you can figure out the math of the big pile of rejections, right? :-D But I was blessed with enough yeses to move forward and here we are: 4½ years after having made the "call-to-arms". Hopefully, we'll garner more views, likes and comments that will help push this work out to the world, so it'll be an easier task for me to convince VFX-artists that working on Part II won't be a waste of time. But for now, I'm just gonna focus on enjoying this small victory. To have my words reverberate in audiences around the world, one small step at a time. :-)
@@SarwarsStarwars Thanks for the detailed answer! Its is very suprising that Mr. Mikkelsen agreed to work with freely, for 8 days. I was beliving, that the shoot with him only lasted like 2-3 days, but thats incredible! About the marketing, maybe you should make a different thumbnail for the Fan film. Since at least hundred - mostly very low quality - fan film drops monthly on TH-cam, maybe you should make a thumbnail that stands out; and more click will come. There are also some reaction creators, to who you might can adress this work, and it will spread. After such a great start, I hope you can follow this fan film, and it wont take another 4 years :D PS: I would really love to see some Behind the Scenes footage released :D It would be really educational!
Well, initially he only agreed to do "a week". Which he meant as a "work week" and I understood it as a calendar week. :-D But due to some scheduling issues with the shoot, he did six days and then said that he'd be willing to come back at a later time to do the remaining scenes, so we got two more days. :-) We've changed the thumbnail to something with Lars Mikkelsen on it. :-) It was a good idea! I've contacted a handful, but most have not shown interest, unfortunately, which surprised me, since... it just really seemed to be something they'd be into. Oh well. Maybe later in the future. There are two BTS videos from earlier on the channel. :-) More will come showcasing a bit of the fight scene coming up in Part II. :-)
Oh..... My..... God!!!!! This is beyond all I've seen from a fan fic.... It could as well be a Disney Production.... as a backer I can only say: It was worth the wait.... As af fan i would complain that it wasn't long enough.... ;-)
Worth the wait! Congrats to everyone involved. One of the best SW fan films out there for sure. Glad there was more of a focus on characters and dialogue than just simple thrills and action to pad out the run time. While that's always been a great part of star wars, the characters and story have always been the beating heart of the franchise and I'm glad this kept true to that. Hope to see more unfold in the future! Thanks for all the hard work. 🙏
Thank you so much for being patient with us and sharing your thoughts on our work! My entire goal was to bring the storytelling and characters front and center and I feel that a lot of the commenters are responding positively to that. Well, if you subscribe to the channel, you'll be amongst the first people to know, when Part II comes out! :-)
@@elessar60 His voice was in my head as I was writing his dialogue. It really does wonders for the writing process! And thank you for your compliments!
Fantastic to be able to be a part of this enthralling and ambitious project! What an incredible production only possible with our dedicated and exceptionally talented cast and crew! I already look forward to continuing Part 2! For now, it is time to celebrate though! Wohoo!!!
That gravel pit helped us out SO much! :-D And I hope that the other gorgeous parts of Denmark that will appear in Part III will make you feel the same way as well. :-)
It's finally here! I remember watching those trailers and clips years ago and now we are getting the full experience. Well done to everyone who worked on this, be very proud of it and bring on the next part!!!
Congrats to you as well! Keeping this ship moving at a steady speed was no small feat considering you were brought in merely 8 days in advance to plot out 8 days of shooting. Not a lot of folks like you out there, and I'm honored to have had you on the team!
Thank you, Brian! The more people we can get to watch, like, and comment, the greater reach this episode will have and the easier our continued work will be!
My younger brother ran a Star Wars RPG years ago that did what you did here, mixed Star Wars with the Gun Kata from Equilibrium. I gotta say, well done!!! Hope part 2 gets made, cannot wait to see it!
We're definitely working on Part II! 2023 saw us complete 67% of the visual effects and we're starting up again in the next week! :-) And your little brother's RPG sounds awesome! Gun Kata just seems like such a cool addition to the Star Wars universe!
Incredible work!! Have been following this production for several years, and you can all be proud of the amazing work you have done. Can't wait for part 2 (and 3) :)
Thank you, Kim! We really wanted to make sure that the waiting time was rewarded and one can never know, when something has been in postproduction for so long... But it seems that people are very understanding of our situation and that makes our efforts all the worthwhile.
Thank you for that comment! Part II will feel vastly different in genre, and it'll be interesting to see how fans of Part I will respond to Part II! Hope to hear from you regardless, when that time comes! :-)
So this is what thrawn doing in his free time. Awesome work guys! However you got Mikkelsen for this - brilliant! The other actors fit in so well. Just thank you, for your hard work!
Thank you, Buddy! ;-) Sometimes you just gotta ask! We'll continue to work hard after a small break, because the story only gets more exciting in Part II!
What a pleasure to see the story carried by excellent actors. Kudos to the lighting expert and the special effects master. Looking forward to more. You are the ones I seek!
Had everything I had hoped for; Good story, good acting and the nostalgic feel of the original trilogy 🙌 Proud to have been a small part of it. A thank you goes out to all the hard working people, I know everyone in all the departements ran they butt off to deliver one of the best Star Wars Fan film EVER made.
Thank you! We're very happy that people are taking the time, not just to watch our production, but also taking out the time to let us know, what it meant for them to watch it. :-)
Godt arbejde. fantastisk at vi i Danmark kan lave en produktion i i denne skala i dette fantastiske univers. Godt klaret, hele ventetiden værd. Ser frem til anden del.
Tak Morten! Ja, og det er så endda med et mikro budget, fordi alle arbejdede for 0 kroner. Forestil dig, hvad vi kunne opnå, hvis den danske filmbranche satte penge af til en produktion af denne skala bare en gang eller to over de næste 2-5 år? Håber at filmbranchen får set den, så vi kan få åbnet op for alternative genrer i dansk regi. :-)
This really feels like it fits into the Star Wars universe but isn't beholden to existing material. The décor and costuming screams Star Wars without being a one-for-one approximation, even the dialogue is wonderfully stylised to the point where you could imagine people talking like this 500 years before the prequels. Fantastic stuff!
That was pretty much word-for-word what we attempted to pull off with this production, so I'm very happy to read your comment! It gives us strength in the long hours post-producing on Part II!
So well made, it only takes half an hour to get you fully invested in the characters, immersed in the story, curious to see where it goes, but also profoundly frustrated and despondent its only half an hour..!
Would you be okay with us sharing your comment in a short trailer for the episode? It would probably help our future fans to know that others have been delighted by the work! :-)
You can be very proud of youself at this point! Great acting, great atmosphere, and great writing. You proved people wrong at made a god damned Star Wars movie, AND you played against a veteran actor, without him carrying you! Ballz to the Wallz Badass!! 🦾
Thank you, Jack! My pride comes from having several tons of great artists join my vision, you being amongst them. I look forward to the world seeing our scene together in Part II!
What an amazing gift to reciewe - waking up today whitout having any cloe.that I would be watching an incredible good Star Wars Fan Film - and made by a Dane. The hole Cast can be so proud, and the spwcially the music is soo emotional too. I loved every secund, and can´t wait for part 2.
Thank you, Søren! The music was an essential part of the storytelling for us, especially because there are some long stretches of silence, so glad that you liked it.
Thank you! I feel I've seen a few that were emotionally engaging, but it's definitely not the majority, I can agree with you there. The "secret" was not to approach this as a fan film, but a regular film or television series with characters dealing with real emotions and issues (as one can expect from this storytelling universe).
The best fan film ever!!!!! I thought, not another Jedi running through the woods fanfilm, but holy smokes this was awesome!!!!!!! I demand more awesomeness please!!!!!!!
This was EXCELLENT💯The costumes alone were 🤯WELL DONE.....WELL DONE INDEED! The cinematography is AWESOME as well! Can’t say enough words of praise. This is why I love YT and what keeps me coming back to the platform.
Thank you! I hope that professional film production companies get to see our work, because I would like to make a production, where I'm actually allowed to make money off of the final result. For now, I'm more than happy to receive the positive accolades, since money isn't on the table. So thank you for taking the time to comment, it means a lot!
We were happy to have you contribute to the completion of the production work! And hopefully also understand that a high level of production work must be honored through a high level of post production work as well. :-)
That result is breathtaking. Awesome commitment, stellar performance, a real treat to see all that hard work come together to form something special and worthwhile. Great idea of releasing it in parts.
Thank you! We were cautious to split it up into parts, especially because the first part is quite dialogue heavy, but luckily Andor proved that this is something that can be quite appeasing to Star Wars fans as well! :-)

Would truely love to see you and Trey do a live summit one of this days
Thank you for your very kind words and thank you for watching the podcast! I'll definitely be back to talk about Parts II and III with Trey, whether he wants to or not! :-D :-P
Brilliant!! I can't believe we can have this masterpiece here at last! The performance is absolutely amazing, I love the interaction between the characters. Besides, you did an incredible work with characterization, customes and setting. I can't wait for the second part!!
Thank you, Maribel! The characters will be going through some great and challenging moments in Part II that I'm excited to hear how the fans will respond to. :-)
WOW!!! The sets, the acting, the story, absolutely everything is top notch! Star Wars ain't been this good since Luke kicking ass at the end of Mandalorian season 2! The minds behind this masterpiece need to be running Lucas Arts! This absolutely must go viral, cause this is just INCREDIBLE!!!
I'm glad to hear that this hit the spot! I don't know about RUNNING Lucasfilm, but I do aim to work there one day. So many things have aligned for this work to come together and I'm going to give it my all to reach that point. Thank you for your support! Our team has worked hard to receive it and it's much appreciated!
A huge bravo for your work! The quality of the film is really incredible, especially visually.
Thank you very much for your comment!
I wasn't expecting to see Lars Mikkelsen, and in a fan film of all things. Looks amazing and very interesting!

Why is this so underrated? I hope it gets more reach. Lars mikkelson role was nice. Really amazing alien costumes and setup it just looks so high budget level quality

@@SarwarsStarwars Absolutely.
Amazing acting from the scandinavian actor ... Magnus ... Top tier acting ... amazing voice and delivery !!! what a surprise !!!
We're mostly all Scandinavian actors in this three part fan film, but yes, Magnus is great! :-)
I cannot wait for Part 2. You guys went all out with the prosthetics for the aliens, the special effects were the best I've seen from a fan project, and the leads were fantastic. On top of that, it just really FELT like Star Wars, which is probably the most difficult thing to achieve. Bravo!

took me a second to realise that the old guy was literally Grand Admrial Thrawn ,that's so cool that you guys got him to do this film with you i really enjoy fan films and this is one of my favourites
Glad to hear that you've appreciated it so much that it's among your favourites! That's what the work is done for and it's very encouraging to hear. Thank you!
These costumes for all the different creatures were beyond BEYOND amazing...
Eleonora el-Azem did an amazing job designing the costumes and her team of costume designers really helped us create this lived-in experience that I was eager to have the clothing look like.
@@SarwarsStarwars Seriously this is on the level and budget Mando or Book of Boba would have. This is amazing.
I agree, costumes were really good in this tbh
WHAT?!
That was amazing!
I have never seen a Star Wars fan film quite as high-caliber as this, and I can't lie when I say I've watched close to a hundred. This was pure cinema from the opening shot until the credits rolled, and I will definitely be back to watch it again and again. Incredible work.
Thank you! That means the world to us! Would you be okay with us sharing your comment in a short trailer for the episode? It would probably help our future fans to know that others have been delighted by the work! :-)
@@SarwarsStarwars You're welcome, and absolutely!
Sophia Stunts sent me here, I stayed for the high production values! Got lost in the story telling 10/10 cant wait for part 2!!! VERY WELL DONE!!!
That's wonderful to hear! Sophia sets a high bar for her entertainment channel, so it's great that fans of hers can find value in my channel as well. :-)
Gun handling reminded of movie ''Equilibrium' . And that was very nice.
Thank you for noticing! the gun kata was our inspiration for the shooting scene and many more in the upcoming parts :)
@@JPSTUNTSDK i noticed that too, bloody cool
Gun Kata had too short a life span in film and that's a bloody shame.
Joon (of JP Stunts) and I were discussing how we could make blaster bolt fights different and more intriguing and this was one of my great desires to bring to a universe with colorful blaster fire, since I'm a BIG Equilibrium fan. :-)
A lot of effort was put into having light spill on the characters and surroundings, so it looked as real as possible, knowing that it is quite a fantastical style to bring in to a story that's trying to be as grounded as possible.
But it IS Star Wars. We gotta have some spectacle, right?
This is an absolute masterpiece. The setup, the overall mood, the effects and most of all the dialogues and pacing are all impeccable. I was glued to the screen during the exchange between Tulek and Vendal, the atmosphere was so tense, brilliant acting by Mr Sarwar and Mr Mikkelsen. This belongs on the big screen, I am already 100 percent hooked. A big thank you to everyone involved for creating this masterpiece, I hope this project gets continued! Can’t go more Star Wars than this…
Thank you SO very much for your comment!
You're probably our prime audience, judging by what you felt was engaging, so I'm quite pleased to hear from you. :-)
We'll be putting up a sneak peak of Part II soon enough on our channel. ;-)
This was really good. Thank you. Did a great job. The dark jedi was great and the bounty hunter grew on me. Keep it up. Rather watch this than disney.....
If only Disney/Lucasfilm made movies as good as this! Amazing! Please keep up the great work!!
It's a daily venture working on releasing the second part of this! :-)
One of the proud SFX-artist of the production here!
Lots of love go out to everyone, who have had and continue to have hours of work on this!
And thank you to all backers and fans!
Good things come to those who wait (even further) - there are LOTS of shots I'm looking forward to as much as the next guy :)
You guys did a great job of making all of our hard work come together - you should be proud! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Søren, you were one of the most lovely people I met in the journey.
Incredible work. Thank you
So very happy to have had you onboard the project! And we're all VERY MUCH looking forward to seeing how people respond to your astounding work on one particular scene... ;-)
@@SarwarsStarwars Oh, right!
I almost forgot about that 😄
Having a guy jammin on a hang drum was a nice touch, sounds like a star wars instrument for sure
I felt the same way. I heard the hang drum for the first time in my life as I was walking on the Main Street of Copenhagen many years ago and a gentleman was playing it and I was mesmerized. I knew then and there that I had to add it to a film soundtrack or in a story somehow, and this seemed like the perfect place to do it!
This has 3,9k views, it better have 1 million when i rewatch this again because this is amazing!
Then share it with your friends, ask them to share it sith their friends, and so on, and all of you post this in as many star wars forums as possible.
We're doing our best to make sure that it gets there! But we're gonna need some media attention, if we're truly gonna make it into those numbers, as it rightfully deserves (maybe a little biased here... :-D)
So many emotions watching all of our hard work come together so beautifully! ❤❤❤ This project opened up so much for me, we accomplished so much! Nice work to the entire cast and crew, and especially Shahbaz for honoring everyone’s efforts and making sure it got published!
Honoring other people's efforts is honoring oneself. I couldn't sit with this much talent captured by camera and give up, you know?
How is this not massive? It’s very suss… great job to all involved 👏
Sometimes the algorhitm just isn't with you. I'm hopeful that it'll kick up sometime during the last five months of this year, but I'll be honest, it's been a bit surprising that it's flown so massively under the radar.
Hope more fans like yourself get wind of it! And thank you for watching!
MAKE SURE YOU WATCH IT ON A BIG SCREEN PEOPLE! I waited to sit down and take the time to watch on my TV instead of my phone or computer screen. Best idea, best viewing experience. If I could watch it in a theater, that's the only way it could have been better. Great job guys, I can't wait for the next part!
Excellent work. Well written and sharp delivered dialogue. Looking forward for part II…
I'm glad to hear that you responded well to the writing! The first part is especially focused on creating a sense of danger more through words than physical actions and having Lars deliver that threat was a treat!
FANTASTIC!! The production, story and performances are flawless. On par with the best of the theatrical films.
That's such a generous comment. That means a lot, thank you, Ronald!
It was nice to see the Jedi mindtrick from the other side. Really well made. Looking forward to more
Thank you, Tobias! It's the "signature move" of the episode and I'm really glad it's reaching more and more people!
Indeed! And it’s amazingly done!
I’m at a loss for words to describe just how much I loved this film and how awesome it is! Just amazing!!!! I am looking forward to part two! Can’t wait!!!
An incredibly kind response to our work! We're hard at work on the second part! :-)
@@SarwarsStarwars your are truly deserving of praises for the work you’ve produced! This is much more than just a fan film, this is Star Wars. I don’t know how else to put it.
It's an honor to take part in this film as a digital compositor. It was a great experience and felt proud of all people's efforts. So happy to see it.
Honor to have you onboard, buddy! You helped this day come with your work!
Yay, found another high-effort fanfilm! Those are some good costumes. And the evil-kenobi act was really good
Thank you! Almost all of the costumes were hand-sewn for the performers, so the costume department will be glad to hear that their work is still highly appreciated.
Amazing work, great acting and dialogue! Can't wait to see Part 2! 🥳
Thank you! I feel that this episode's biggest focus is exactly dialogue, so I'm happy that it's being pointed out! And Lars Mikkelsen is fantastic in this!
I have to say, even though I’m old enough to have seen the original SW at the cinema as a child in the 70’s - I loved it, obviously, as I was the right age for it - that I’m not a SW fan in general, in fact my enjoyment of them and any subsequent spin-offs ended with The Empire Strikes Back. But this fan film was utterly superb and very compelling. Quite apart from the excellent production values it was the acting of the two leads, it was brilliant and imo superior to pretty much any of the actors in the official releases. I’m really quite taken aback at how much I enjoyed it and will definitely keep an eye out for subsequent chapters. I’m genuinely blown away by the quality of the acting, and pretty much everything about it. The entire premise was brilliantly thought through and realised. A massive “well done” to all those involved. I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it must be to cultivate and produce a project as thoroughly as this, and that’s quite apart from running the gauntlet of judgement from “proper”, as it were, SW universe fans. Absolutely brilliant, really.
Thank you so very much for this comment.
One of the things I was aiming for with this fan film was to bring storyline and acting to the forefront, and though I absolutely humble myself to the greatness of one of Denmark's master thespians, Lars Mikkelsen, I also felt that it was important that I justify my position in front of the camera, since I am wearing many "hats" on this production.
I'm greatly appreciative of your words and I look forward to hearing back from you, when the two other parts are out, which bind the whole story in this together in a way that this first part can't do alone.
Can you tell me how someone who's not necessarily an avid Star Wars fan have come across our work? I find that most people who watch these types of work specifically search for Star Wars Fan Films, and it's always interesting to hear from people who might not have searched in that way?
@@SarwarsStarwars Do you know what? I couldn’t have told you before yesterday who Lars Mikkelson is, even though upon googling his name, it turns out I’ve watched quite a few TV shows that he’s been in. And it was only reading the other comments I learnt he’s played Grand Admiral Thrawn in the official releases, and I have to add that at no point was I watching yours and his performances and seeing any disparity in your respective acting abilities, seriously, none whatsoever, not that I’m any sort of a critic, I hasten to add, but as a neutral audience member I honestly wouldn’t have known, which is the highest praise I can think of. Knowing this now I can only imagine it must’ve been pretty daunting to act opposite such an obviously consummate professional, but you absolutely held your own.
As to how I came to watch it I think it was simply that because I occasionally go down a TH-cam sci-fi rabbit hole the algorithm pushed it my way and I was sufficiently intrigued to watch it. I’m really late to the game, though, because although I’ve been aware of written fan fiction for years, it hadn’t actually occurred to me that there would be fan films, even though they’re the next logical step. Anyway, that’s enough from me and thanks again for your film, and like I say I look forward to further instalments.
I'm floored by this amazing yet raw performance, I love Star Wars with heavy dialogue and not just action
Fellow Andor fan then? :-D
Part II will be QUITE action heavy, but will also up the dramatic stakes set up by this part, so I hope you'll enjoy that as well. :-)
Wow how did I miss this gem…..well done sir!
It's been hidden in plain sight from a lot of folks, unfortunately, but we're always happy to receive new fans! If you know any other people who'd like to see this, it would be awesome if you'd share it with like-minded fans! :-)
Thank you for watching and do come back for Part II, coming soon!
Makes me want to grab my blaster & jump into the fray! Well done!
That's so cool that Lars actually was apart of a Star Wars fanfilm.
He's even cooler in the next Part II! ;-)
When will you post that?
We're so hard at work getting that locked down for release asap! I won't be resting until Part II is out!
I want to see more! This is amazing!
You're in luck! Unlike the poor folks who've had to wait almost two years, you're looking at something closer to 2 months. :-D
OKAY, this the Star Wars spirit I missed so dearly for the late Star Wars fan films. This has the same magic, I felt in the late 2000's fan films, where the creators actually had a vision - not just a random forest, with a short film story. You have original characters; you managed to introduce your characters mostly throung conversation, but the visuals were still dope. And you clearly knew how to make a film. I belive when a cinematographer is also a Star Wars fan, its a very special, maybe the most special achivement, when he is able to make his own Star Wars film. This is definitely shows how enthusiastic you were about it. The costums were neat - sometimes they had some Star Trek vibe, but after the late Star Wars shows. I was happy I had some aliens . And Mr. Mikkelsen really pleases us, Star Wars fans, for showing up in a fan made production, despite being such a big star! And his acting was so on spot!
I really wish to see the second part asap : D keep up the good work, and I hope you had a wonderfol time creating it!
Thank you, Larion, for your astute observations!
One of my main focuses for locations was: NO FORESTS! :-D
Exactly for the reason mentioned by you.
And since most of the people involved actually work in the film industry, it really helped elevate the quality of the final output.
With the budget just around 1% of a single episode of "The Mandalorian", I'll gladly take "Star Trek vibe"! :-D
The character of Okana Vidai was specifically written for Lars Mikkelsen, so it did feel like a natural fit for him to portray him. And yes, he's beyond awesome for agreeing to work for 8 days for $0, because he believed in me and the project. A life changing moment for me and the project itself when he confirmed his participation.
About it being a wonderful time... Honestly, a lot of it was really grueling. Especially post production, because there were SO many rejections. Having reached out personally to app. 5000 VFX-artists over the course of two years... looking at the number I had for the episode, you can figure out the math of the big pile of rejections, right? :-D
But I was blessed with enough yeses to move forward and here we are: 4½ years after having made the "call-to-arms".
Hopefully, we'll garner more views, likes and comments that will help push this work out to the world, so it'll be an easier task for me to convince VFX-artists that working on Part II won't be a waste of time.
But for now, I'm just gonna focus on enjoying this small victory. To have my words reverberate in audiences around the world, one small step at a time. :-)
@@SarwarsStarwars Thanks for the detailed answer!
Its is very suprising that Mr. Mikkelsen agreed to work with freely, for 8 days. I was beliving, that the shoot with him only lasted like 2-3 days, but thats incredible!
About the marketing, maybe you should make a different thumbnail for the Fan film. Since at least hundred - mostly very low quality - fan film drops monthly on TH-cam, maybe you should make a thumbnail that stands out; and more click will come. There are also some reaction creators, to who you might can adress this work, and it will spread.
After such a great start, I hope you can follow this fan film, and it wont take another 4 years :D
PS: I would really love to see some Behind the Scenes footage released :D It would be really educational!
Well, initially he only agreed to do "a week". Which he meant as a "work week" and I understood it as a calendar week. :-D
But due to some scheduling issues with the shoot, he did six days and then said that he'd be willing to come back at a later time to do the remaining scenes, so we got two more days. :-)
We've changed the thumbnail to something with Lars Mikkelsen on it. :-) It was a good idea!
I've contacted a handful, but most have not shown interest, unfortunately, which surprised me, since... it just really seemed to be something they'd be into. Oh well. Maybe later in the future.
There are two BTS videos from earlier on the channel. :-)
More will come showcasing a bit of the fight scene coming up in Part II. :-)
I would like to see more!! Great work looks brilliant!!
Well, you're in luck! ;-) Check the newest video!
So proud to participated in the VFX of this incredible project ! This first part promises great things to come, I can't wait to see the second part !
Thank you for putting your efforts into getting this across the finish line!
Oh..... My..... God!!!!! This is beyond all I've seen from a fan fic.... It could as well be a Disney Production....
as a backer I can only say: It was worth the wait....
As af fan i would complain that it wasn't long enough.... ;-)
So happy to hear that, Henrik!
I know you've had to wait A LONG time for this and I was hopeful that you'd find it pleasing.
Great piece of work, impressive indeed
Glad you like it!
Worth the wait! Congrats to everyone involved. One of the best SW fan films out there for sure. Glad there was more of a focus on characters and dialogue than just simple thrills and action to pad out the run time. While that's always been a great part of star wars, the characters and story have always been the beating heart of the franchise and I'm glad this kept true to that. Hope to see more unfold in the future! Thanks for all the hard work. 🙏
Thank you so much for being patient with us and sharing your thoughts on our work!
My entire goal was to bring the storytelling and characters front and center and I feel that a lot of the commenters are responding positively to that.
Well, if you subscribe to the channel, you'll be amongst the first people to know, when Part II comes out! :-)
When you dont realize this is the same actor that plays Grand Admiral Thrawn until the end. Awesome work btw
He's quite a versatile actor, indeed!
hes so singular, how does that even happen?
His voice is unique. I knew it was him the first time he spoke -- MItth'raw'nuruodo. Outstanding video! I can't wait to see the next part.
@@elessar60 His voice was in my head as I was writing his dialogue. It really does wonders for the writing process! And thank you for your compliments!
@@lowfat0g He's one of the greatest actors in Denmark and we're proud to have him on this project!
Worth every second watched. Thanks!
That's wonderful to hear! Thank you for that. :-)
Definitely a lot better than what Disney's been putting out.
Well done!!
Thank you for the honor! We're operating on a... slightly lesser budget. :-D
@@SarwarsStarwars Your tale drew me in and kept me in. Once again, well done.
You wouldnt know it. Great graphics, costumes, set, and acting!@SarwarsStarwars
Fantastic to be able to be a part of this enthralling and ambitious project! What an incredible production only possible with our dedicated and exceptionally talented cast and crew! I already look forward to continuing Part 2! For now, it is time to celebrate though! Wohoo!!!
I am really impressed about how off-world you were able to make it look just by going to a gravel pit!! Awesome, just want MORE!
That gravel pit helped us out SO much! :-D And I hope that the other gorgeous parts of Denmark that will appear in Part III will make you feel the same way as well. :-)
This is AMAZING! The acting, script, and cinematography is AAA. Very much looking forward to Part 2.
Thank you! We're all hoping that more people will get to see the film and feel the same way as you do! :-)
Absolutely incredible work in every department and every corner of this production! Great job, everyone!
Thank you! It truly was a joint venture that elevated all aspects!
This is so impressive!!! Blown away by the production value 🙌 love that real costumes and such were used rather than all greenscreen 🙏
Thank you, Tobias!
So happy to have had you on board as our Quarry Creature and our Bar Troll! Great work!
It's finally here! I remember watching those trailers and clips years ago and now we are getting the full experience. Well done to everyone who worked on this, be very proud of it and bring on the next part!!!
Thank you, Poppy, it's a pleasure to be able to deliver a worthy production to a long time fan, that does make us proud!
The Costume department + SFX and the composition is amazing. Lars Mikkelsen is fantastic! Looking forward to see part 2.
Congrats from the 1.AD
Congrats to you as well! Keeping this ship moving at a steady speed was no small feat considering you were brought in merely 8 days in advance to plot out 8 days of shooting.
Not a lot of folks like you out there, and I'm honored to have had you on the team!
Definitely top-notch!! Excellent work, ladies and gentlemen!
Glad you liked it!
Wow!
It looks absolutely StarWorthIt!
Atmosphere is flowing through the screen..
Glad to be a part of it
Hugs to everyone involved 😘🤗
❤❤❤ Fedor - can’t wait to see your big moment 😉
@@heatherrogersmeister2559 sounds very intriguing😁
SO looking forward to showing the world our fight together! You were fantastic!
@@SarwarsStarwars 🤗🤗🤗
@@SarwarsStarwars you did really fantastic work! I am so impressed with your passion and enthusiasm🔥
Really impressive work. Congratulations. Cant wait for the continuation.
Thank you, Brian!
The more people we can get to watch, like, and comment, the greater reach this episode will have and the easier our continued work will be!
FANTASTIC!!!!! way Better than the junk that Disney is making! I look forward to More!!
Thank you, General (Kenobi)!
Fantastic! It looks so good. Happy to see it out in the world!
Thank you for helping this come to life! Proud to have had you with us!
Absolutely brilliant! Stunning visuals, music, attention to detail and the story had me hooked!
This is one of the best looking Star Wars fan films I've seen!
Thank you! Very happy to hear that!
My younger brother ran a Star Wars RPG years ago that did what you did here, mixed Star Wars with the Gun Kata from Equilibrium. I gotta say, well done!!! Hope part 2 gets made, cannot wait to see it!
We're definitely working on Part II! 2023 saw us complete 67% of the visual effects and we're starting up again in the next week! :-)
And your little brother's RPG sounds awesome! Gun Kata just seems like such a cool addition to the Star Wars universe!
Incredible work!! Have been following this production for several years, and you can all be proud of the amazing work you have done. Can't wait for part 2 (and 3) :)
Thank you, Kim! We really wanted to make sure that the waiting time was rewarded and one can never know, when something has been in postproduction for so long... But it seems that people are very understanding of our situation and that makes our efforts all the worthwhile.
WOW i am IMPRESSED. I HAVE to give this highest marks 👍 Great tension, acting, fire fight, everything!
Thank you! We worked hard for the praise and we'll gladly take it! :-D
Impressive!
Much better than the later official films.
I'll be looking forward to watch part II
Thank you for that comment!
Part II will feel vastly different in genre, and it'll be interesting to see how fans of Part I will respond to Part II!
Hope to hear from you regardless, when that time comes! :-)
So this is what thrawn doing in his free time.
Awesome work guys! However you got Mikkelsen for this - brilliant! The other actors fit in so well. Just thank you, for your hard work!
Thank you, Buddy! ;-)
Sometimes you just gotta ask!
We'll continue to work hard after a small break, because the story only gets more exciting in Part II!
What a pleasure to see the story carried by excellent actors. Kudos to the lighting expert and the special effects master. Looking forward to more. You are the ones I seek!
Thank you very much! Hopefully, you'll be just as enthralled and see other great aspects in Parts II and III! :-)
Amazing folks, well done. I'm looking forward to the whole story, got me hooked.
Thank you for watching!
Had everything I had hoped for; Good story, good acting and the nostalgic feel of the original trilogy 🙌
Proud to have been a small part of it. A thank you goes out to all the hard working people, I know everyone in all the departements ran they butt off to deliver one of the best Star Wars Fan film EVER made.
Thank you, Kristian!
And I look forward to people seeing your work in Part II!
Excellent !! You and all the people working on this film have done a splendid job.
Thank you! We're very happy that people are taking the time, not just to watch our production, but also taking out the time to let us know, what it meant for them to watch it. :-)
Godt arbejde. fantastisk at vi i Danmark kan lave en produktion i i denne skala i dette fantastiske univers. Godt klaret, hele ventetiden værd. Ser frem til anden del.
Tak Morten!
Ja, og det er så endda med et mikro budget, fordi alle arbejdede for 0 kroner. Forestil dig, hvad vi kunne opnå, hvis den danske filmbranche satte penge af til en produktion af denne skala bare en gang eller to over de næste 2-5 år?
Håber at filmbranchen får set den, så vi kan få åbnet op for alternative genrer i dansk regi. :-)
Samme her 👍😊
Det er bare super
This really feels like it fits into the Star Wars universe but isn't beholden to existing material. The décor and costuming screams Star Wars without being a one-for-one approximation, even the dialogue is wonderfully stylised to the point where you could imagine people talking like this 500 years before the prequels. Fantastic stuff!
That was pretty much word-for-word what we attempted to pull off with this production, so I'm very happy to read your comment! It gives us strength in the long hours post-producing on Part II!
So well made, it only takes half an hour to get you fully invested in the characters, immersed in the story, curious to see where it goes, but also profoundly frustrated and despondent its only half an hour..!
Would you be okay with us sharing your comment in a short trailer for the episode? It would probably help our future fans to know that others have been delighted by the work! :-)
@@SarwarsStarwars Sure! Anything to help promote this project😉💯✌️
Well done! Can't wait to see what's next...
Thank you! We're cracking on to bring you what's next! Keep an eye on the channel. :-)
You can be very proud of youself at this point! Great acting, great atmosphere, and great writing. You proved people wrong at made a god damned Star Wars movie, AND you played against a veteran actor, without him carrying you! Ballz to the Wallz Badass!! 🦾
Thank you, Jack!
My pride comes from having several tons of great artists join my vision, you being amongst them.
I look forward to the world seeing our scene together in Part II!
This was INCREDIBLE! So much dedication was given from the Shrouded Destiny team!
Thank you for your remarks!
We worked very hard to make it and it's great to hear it appreciated!
This beats the hell out of anything on netflix. Great work!
And remember, you can watch it anywhere without good ol' TH-cam getting mad at you, unlike Netflix! :-D
Thanks for the praise! Much appreciated.
What an amazing gift to reciewe - waking up today whitout having any cloe.that I would be watching an incredible good Star Wars Fan Film - and made by a Dane. The hole Cast can be so proud, and the spwcially the music is soo emotional too. I loved every secund, and can´t wait for part 2.
Thank you, Søren!
The music was an essential part of the storytelling for us, especially because there are some long stretches of silence, so glad that you liked it.
Excellent
Thank you for watching!
First non-cringeworthy fanfilm to date! Excellent work there!
Thank you! I feel I've seen a few that were emotionally engaging, but it's definitely not the majority, I can agree with you there.
The "secret" was not to approach this as a fan film, but a regular film or television series with characters dealing with real emotions and issues (as one can expect from this storytelling universe).
Hats of brother. So much dedication! Incredible work! Looking forward to the next chapter!
Very glad to hear that!
The incredible passion for Star Wars really shines through in this masterpiece, can't wait for part 2!
How very generous of you to write!
Thank you!
Would you be alright with us using your comment in our upcoming "review trailer"?
@@SarwarsStarwars By all means, feel free to! :D
The best fan film ever!!!!! I thought, not another Jedi running through the woods fanfilm, but holy smokes this was awesome!!!!!!! I demand more awesomeness please!!!!!!!
Thank you for your wholehearted enthusiasm! :-)
We're hard at work on post-production for Part II. :-)
This was EXCELLENT💯The costumes alone were 🤯WELL DONE.....WELL DONE INDEED! The cinematography is AWESOME as well! Can’t say enough words of praise. This is why I love YT and what keeps me coming back to the platform.
I'm glad that your fondness of TH-cam is elevated by our work, we're very proud to be a part of that legacy! :-)
YESSS LESGOOOOOO
I'm so happy to be part of this team and ongoing journey :')
Thank you for all your work! Your diligent work ethic and continued efforts to work on shots note after grueling note is an admirable quality to have.
YES - This was fan-fucking-tastic!!! - You should have put it up on a patreon or a paywall! This is MANY WORTH wathcing!!
Thank you! I hope that professional film production companies get to see our work, because I would like to make a production, where I'm actually allowed to make money off of the final result.
For now, I'm more than happy to receive the positive accolades, since money isn't on the table.
So thank you for taking the time to comment, it means a lot!
I am so happy to finally watch it! I have met so many incredible people through this film. Very proud to be part of this team.
❤❤❤❤ You Emma!
We were happy to have you contribute to the completion of the production work! And hopefully also understand that a high level of production work must be honored through a high level of post production work as well. :-)
This is so great!! So happy to see it come to life!
Thank you! I'm happy to see it take its first baby steps with the fan base! Proud "papa" here!
Great story, acting, directing and VXF. Worth the wait and gimme more please!!
Finally here. I am even more excited now than before. Fun, entertaining and great action 😁
Thank you! And thank you for your help in making it come true!
That result is breathtaking. Awesome commitment, stellar performance, a real treat to see all that hard work come together to form something special and worthwhile. Great idea of releasing it in parts.
Thank you!
We were cautious to split it up into parts, especially because the first part is quite dialogue heavy, but luckily Andor proved that this is something that can be quite appeasing to Star Wars fans as well! :-)

Loved all the characters truly thought each and every actor and actress all did a amazing job. Truely felt like I was in the movie with each one you did an outstanding job on core matter with our brother Trey. Thanks for all you do in front and behind the camera. You are truely what I would call a legend in your own right. Take care and stay safe out their will see you next in your film or even on other episodes or f core matter. Would truely love to see you and Trey do a live summit one of this days
Thank you for your very kind words and thank you for watching the podcast!
I'll definitely be back to talk about Parts II and III with Trey, whether he wants to or not! :-D :-P
Brilliant!! I can't believe we can have this masterpiece here at last! The performance is absolutely amazing, I love the interaction between the characters. Besides, you did an incredible work with characterization, customes and setting. I can't wait for the second part!!
Thank you, Maribel!
The characters will be going through some great and challenging moments in Part II that I'm excited to hear how the fans will respond to. :-)
Great work guys! Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you! And likewise keeping an eye on your endeavors!
Finally it’s here!!! Can’t wait to get home to watch this!
WOW!!! The sets, the acting, the story, absolutely everything is top notch! Star Wars ain't been this good since Luke kicking ass at the end of Mandalorian season 2! The minds behind this masterpiece need to be running Lucas Arts! This absolutely must go viral, cause this is just INCREDIBLE!!!
I'm glad to hear that this hit the spot!
I don't know about RUNNING Lucasfilm, but I do aim to work there one day. So many things have aligned for this work to come together and I'm going to give it my all to reach that point.
Thank you for your support! Our team has worked hard to receive it and it's much appreciated!
Would you be alright with us using your comment in our upcoming "review trailer"?
Extremely Well done. I look forward to more.
Much appreciated! Part II is on track!
