yeah, and this is legit cause the storm troopers still can't hit anything even from 10 feet away...so that makes them just like the movie storm troopers.
@@JJames7 CAN EVERYONE STOP SHITTING STORMTROOPERS? THEY ARE MARKSMEN WHEN THEY DON'T PIT AGAINST CHARACTERS MADE OF PURE PLOTONIUM. LOOK AT THE FIRST SCENE OF THE NEW HOPE. COME ON PEOPLE.
The beginning where they have an exchange about tie fighters, the trooper wanting to become a pilot, and ending with a very friendly farewell, was the most humanizing piece of star wars I have seen. The interaction highlighted the fact that some people believed in the empire until they were exposed to, or became victims of, its brutality. This whole video was extremely well done.
I could totally see this as an extended series on Disney Plus, with this being the pilot episode. The actress for Pai was incredibly believable, and her initial belief in the good intentions of the imperials present on the planet made for a good contrast to other movies in the star wars saga. I thoroughly enjoyed this start to finish!
@@brianhill4153 the new trilogy is based on at the plot of at least 2 video games... Star wars Jedi Knight Jedi academy... Luke started a Jedi academy in that game.The player is looking for a new mysterious Sith order rising in power.. Star Wars The Old Republic Emperor Viciate dies and possesses a new body Valkorian and has a massive fleet. Valkorian dies and possesses the players character. Disney cannibalized the plots from those games.
I loved her optimistic idealism. That makes for a good development story when it clashes with the reality of the Empire, overcoming disillusionment when the bubble of naivety is popped. Now that sounds like a promising character arc with so much potential! It ended just as I realized I had become invested in her and was saying to myself "This is really good." Way to leave me wanting more.
@@DJDUALLY14 Except for the beginning scene, where there were 5 troopers, and they are not stormtroopers but trained clonetroppers who do not miss, and there is 5 and one shoots. Beggining scene was catastrophically bad. Rest was pretty cool.
They didn't get bogged down by Hollywood politics. Kathleen Kennedy would have wanted to insist that the Uncle was replaced with a Aunt. Female Empowerment and all. Meanwhile Rian would have watched Ocean's 11, Saving Private Ryan, and Godzilla -King of Monsters, in order to get a feel on how to make a Star Wars film. And then of course, KK would insist on more of the cast being females. The pilot and his alien buddy would have to be dumbed down. They're far too competent for Rian+ KK's taste. And whatever you do please don't have a young white male villain. Not if Rian's going to direct your film. Otherwise he'll just woobify him from being a cruel murderer into being a sad , "misunderstood" puppy dog in need of loving.
Absolutely love this. Too many Star Wars fan films are just elongated lightsaber fights or otherwise just single scenes with a bunch of filler to get to 10-20 minutes, but this one tells a great, compelling story. No wasted time, great acting, fantastic Star Wars-y music, fun sequel hook, would love to see more someday. This should have way more views, tbh. Keep at it guys!
I totally agree - The funny thing is when this film started I said to myself - here we go with another jedi sith lightsaber dual - seen it a thousand times. But to my awesome surprise it was an actual story. A Good story at that.
Hey people like fights don't knock'em for it, just enjoy it. No need to tell people there's too many fights. People love the fights and story telling, In just saying don't be surprised if people like making fights more.
Extraordinary. Until today, I had no idea that this sub-genre even existed. To have put this much beauty into a 22 minute homage that fits brilliantly into the SW universe, is a testament to everyone involved - well done!
@@martina2659 Yes but as he shot at her she wasn't a civilian anymore. as she ran away from the stormtrupper and hold the lightsaber she was declared as a rebel. I hope my english is not to bad. Sorry.

Very well done, my Friends. As a Star Wars fan since 1877, and the collector of the more than 600 Star Wars novels, I thank you for expanding my beloved S.W. Universe. I've had a near-lifelong love-affair to Jedi Grand-Master George Lucas's creation. Your story-line was a first-rate original, superb special effects, and a GREAT cast. The Light-Saber effects were feature-film worthy as where the sound-effects. Thank you for keeping the fire alive for us all!!!
Funny, it randomly popped into my head that the words "Remnant" and "Order" would be awesome for a Star Wars Title the other day. Also love the idea of a Force Wraith working symbiotically with a Force sensitive, à la Celebrimbor.
You can really feel the love and commitment that went into this production! Nice acting and directing, well done cinematography! Loved the original trilogy vibes in this. Way to go, I'd love to see more.
OUTSTANDING!! THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE!!!!! I've said for years that none of the Disney movies will be canon. It's up to the fans now. They can't take Star Wars away from us because it exists within all our hearts.
@@Drachenhannes The prequels at least did some great world building. At the time they were visually stunning. And had some badass action scenes. This new trilogy is great at world destroying and its cinematography was horrible in almost every action scene that i remember. Which to be fair, I only remember the lame fight in that forest bit, and the lame fight in that throne room. Oh those stupid space shit b2 bombers and mind numbingly dumb hyperspace hit and run ex machina
StepOverGod if you think the cinematography was bad you should probably study up on cinematography. Disliking something and lying about something to sound cool is two different things
Thanks to another Dutch Crew who filmed a fabulous movie. For me having Pai's eyes change after the Jedi told her to focus, it is a super cool idea for her character. I cannot imagine how much it is to make a film,but you who made this, thanks. I've seen other Dutch (the Netherlands) made films that are wonderful as well. Your northern European countries love Star Wars as well as the USA, but Lucas's love for his story ended. Thanks for picking up the love.
Simply incredible. This is how you give a new character motivation and a believable backstory without simply making her a mary sue. I skipped the solo movie as well as rise of skywalker but I wouldn't hesitate a second to go see this on the big screen. Wonderful acting, great story and superb directing. No overly showy special effects that do nothing but detract from the story that is being told. I can't imagine how much passionate work from everyone involved went into this. Thank you very much for sharing your work with us all. Disney might not know what a star wars story should and could be, but this crew certainly does. Please don't stop doing projects like this. They are what can and will keep star wars alive.
Really impressive. In the end, new stories can indeed be told in the Star Wars universe. The character development of Pai is perfect, plus the fact that she'll be one of Vader's targets for the Jedi Purge even if she's not a Jedi is really innovative. I'm looking forward to seeing part 2 !
Wonderful storytelling. The childlike innocence of the girl, and the years-weary manner of Uncle Bolo. Outstanding acting, wonderful VFX. I love how it humanized the stormtroopers, the Captain was a great example. You could hear emotion in his voice. Something often not heard with stormtroopers.
amazing film. could have added some erosion/dirt to the lightsaber since it was 15 years later. but hey, way better than disney. i've turned on post notifications as well. ready for the next episode. where do i donate?
YO!!! That order 66 intro is a dark way to start the movie, such a great way to kick things off. Just saw your feed on Instagram, and bam!! I loved this movie just only 10 minutes in.
this was amazing! it blows my mind a billion-dollar company like Disney can't find any writer or directors to encapsulate the feeling of StarWars yet some dedicated fans with a much smaller budget can make something this great. I would love to see these ideas worked into the next Starwars films! great job to everyone involved!
Ok this has to be the best fan-film I’ve ever seen....you guys managed to make stormtroopers human, have canon realistic aliens, a fantastic story and beautiful effects in 20 minutes! Thank you so much...
He had more character development than Rey had în the whole Sequal Trilogy. Funny how I cared more about this Storm Trooper dieing since I actually hoped he would help them escape thanks to the friendship he had with the girl. Contrary to Rey which I didn't care two shits for and the only time she got any emotion out of me was when she supposedly died in ROS. But that joy quickly turned to anger when she got resurected. But even that anger went as quick as it came because that just how little I care for Rey that she can't even sustain my anger for her.
My husband and I just watched this and it's just amazing! Love, love, love the actors, the special effects, just, total SW vibe! Love this so much and can't wait to see more from these filmmakers!
How cool would it have been if this was Rey’s backstory. Like if she was into the stories of the empire, and even thought that Finn was exciting only to have it all crashed down around her.
Yes, if disney didn't try to push agenda and did deep mystical star wars movie ike always they were then yes it was possible to make Rey good. I still dunno why they crossed out EU only to steal plots from books anyway. They just mixed them wrongly.
I went into tears watching this! It is so full of love and true to the genre. Could watch such stuff day for day and pay for it! Subscribed and now checking if and what is there more. Many, many thanks!
This is much, much, better than other fan films on TH-cam. The acting, music and cinematography is put together in a way that makes sense, so it doesn't feel forced or tacky. Well done character backstory for a short.
in all these years this is by far the best production i have seen so far. Amazing story and plot twist. more emotions than in most official star wars conent. Additionally the Costumes were absolutely authentic, the scenes and sets were chosen very well to make it feel as distanced from earth but still somewhat similar. I mean it gave me the feeling that they're on some planet with a big forest within the star wars universe. Unlike the majority of other star wars fan content, where you constantly feel like you're watching some nerds playing with toys in a forest or garden. This one here is probably produced by a crew of producers and film makers who most likely learn this at a college or recently graduated. They not only chose amazing realistic cuts and scenes but they also had the color grading and all the post edits of the video material done very well. The VFX and CGI team did an outstanding job as well, not sure if its the same people who did the cutting and post edits but they did a really really good job! everything looked amazing, realistic and felt entirely authentic. Only one scene exists where i noticed one VFX mistake. When you see the phase 2 clones get the call from Palpatine commanding them to execute order 66, they fired red blaster shots out of the standard DC-15s... some of you might have noticed there is something off haha. the DC-15S fires blue blasts only. they only got similar guns that fire red shots..
The fact that she started controlling the girl is the way you can make someone with no training winning a skirmish actually understandable. It wasn't the girl; it was the Jedi
To all the haters, this is an incredible film. It gives us all the qualities we fell in love with when Lucas made the original trilogy. The original was his passion movies, films he spent his entire life developing. Films like this are created with that same passion and it shows.
I don't know if it's just me but I kind of getting Plo Koon vibes from this character. Perhaps based off that specie. Still pretty well done. I love that about Star Wars.
For an amateur effort, this was really good; I loved it. I love seeing fans come together to do things like this. Thank you for sharing this with us, well done.
this fan flic HAS to get a sequel !!!1 it fully deserves one... the story line, the setting, the acting, the effects... EVERYTHING IS GREAT !!! please please PLEASE make a sequel !!!! this deserves to be in the hall of fame somewhere, the studios couldnt make this any better !!!
This is by far the best fan film ever, even surpassing bucketheads. The acting, cinematography, and effects were movie level good. If this was in a real Star Wars movie, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Great job, can’t wait to see a part 2!
Emotionally the most engaging fan movie I've seen. Great acting, much above average! The moment when she turns on the light Saber for the first time has the power of one of those key scenes in film history. I'm still baffled .... Congrats!
another example of a fan film, what it means to be a good star wars story to tell. I feel more familiar to this short movie as the big budget disney crap.
Waow guys, thank you so much for this hidden gem. The story was captivating, the acting was amazing, and the force ghost was brilliant. Great scenes throughout the whole entire time. Beautiful saber, a masterpiece. I wish you would make more content! I would support you
Congrats on 1 million views - sorry it took me so long to watch this. Your production quality is impeccable and you have made an outstanding piece of fan fiction that will endure. Pai is canon!
So was killing the admiral after he simply told the information, he usually chokes enemies and people who failed but never official he has no problem with
Thank you, brilliant - it's a big galaxy, there could have been thousands of amazing stories being forged like the. This is his now my official head cannon!
WoW! No way this is a fan film. Has to be Disney secretly pitching us ideas. ;) Great work, I will blast this all over social media in hopes that this story gains a lot more attention.
Very well done, actually refreshing to see the perspective of someone who legitimately likes the empire. Sad she had to then be forced into that situation. Great short film guys and girls. One tiny mistake I can't let go sorry. The blaster bolt colour the clones fired from their weapons was the wrong colour should have been blue . Also they are carrying E11 blasters, which weren't around during the clone wars.

Good writing by talented people. Don't need those multi million dollar fx. Show don't tell is the golden key.

they aren't doing 1+ hr movies to a budget and a timetable.

Very well done, my Friends. As a Star Wars fan since 1877, and the collector of the more than 600 Star Wars novels, I thank you for expanding my beloved S.W. Universe. I've had a near-lifelong love-affair to Jedi Grand-Master George Lucas's creation. Your story-line was a first-rate original, superb special effects, and a GREAT cast. The Light-Saber effects were feature-film worthy as where the sound-effects.
Thank you for keeping the fire alive for us all!!!
Sorry, "since 1977", not 1877, although some days I feel that old........
Absolutely incredible! Excellent story, fabulous directing, outstanding acting. What an amazing film. I love it!
I love it too 😊
Yeah me too and I'm with you ☺️
Agree, bloody brilliant. Wish there was more
@@AmyFlannigan27 why think you ☺️
Only thing bad was some of the acting wasn't up to scratch
Pai's innocent smile and enthusiasm bought me instantly. :)
This actually had me hooked the entire time. A lot of fan films start out good but slow down too much. This was incredible. Well done
Funny, it randomly popped into my head that the words "Remnant" and "Order" would be awesome for a Star Wars Title the other day.
Also love the idea of a Force Wraith working symbiotically with a Force sensitive, à la Celebrimbor.
That's what it reminded me of Shadow of Mordor/War
You can really feel the love and commitment that went into this production! Nice acting and directing, well done cinematography! Loved the original trilogy vibes in this. Way to go, I'd love to see more.
i legit forgot i was watching a fan film when it ended
Same
OUTSTANDING!! THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE!!!!!
I've said for years that none of the Disney movies will be canon. It's up to the fans now.
They can't take Star Wars away from us because it exists within all our hearts.
This is so sad, as I think there was more character development in this than there was in all of the Disney Trilogy.
Vincent Presseau #facts
To be fair...Thats not saying much.
I remember a time when we used to say this about fan films compared to the prequel trilogy. Times sure have changed.
@@Drachenhannes
The prequels at least did some great world building. At the time they were visually stunning. And had some badass action scenes.
This new trilogy is great at world destroying and its cinematography was horrible in almost every action scene that i remember. Which to be fair, I only remember the lame fight in that forest bit, and the lame fight in that throne room. Oh those stupid space shit b2 bombers and mind numbingly dumb hyperspace hit and run ex machina
StepOverGod if you think the cinematography was bad you should probably study up on cinematography. Disliking something and lying about something to sound cool is two different things
Thanks to another Dutch Crew who filmed a fabulous movie. For me having Pai's eyes change after the Jedi told her to focus, it is a super cool idea for her character. I cannot imagine how much it is to make a film,but you who made this, thanks. I've seen other Dutch (the Netherlands) made films that are wonderful as well. Your northern European countries love Star Wars as well as the USA, but Lucas's love for his story ended. Thanks for picking up the love.
Simply incredible. This is how you give a new character motivation and a believable backstory without simply making her a mary sue. I skipped the solo movie as well as rise of skywalker but I wouldn't hesitate a second to go see this on the big screen. Wonderful acting, great story and superb directing. No overly showy special effects that do nothing but detract from the story that is being told.
I can't imagine how much passionate work from everyone involved went into this. Thank you very much for sharing your work with us all. Disney might not know what a star wars story should and could be, but this crew certainly does.
Please don't stop doing projects like this. They are what can and will keep star wars alive.
You should see them all. Not just some films
I was just thinking that & hoping she wouldn't be a Marysue. At least they had the Jedi support her, then Pai's eyes change (super cool,) and voila!
“Sir...”
*choke*
Always address him as Lord Vader or My Lord. First thing they teach you at the academy
#ABQ4
Really impressive. In the end, new stories can indeed be told in the Star Wars universe.
The character development of Pai is perfect, plus the fact that she'll be one of Vader's targets for the Jedi Purge even if she's not a Jedi is really innovative. I'm looking forward to seeing part 2 !
One of the best Star Wars fan films I've seen, and there are a TON of them...
Hiiii
This handmade fan-made stuff has more heart than one minute of any Disney Star Wars ridiculous
Wonderful storytelling. The childlike innocence of the girl, and the years-weary manner of Uncle Bolo. Outstanding acting, wonderful VFX. I love how it humanized the stormtroopers, the Captain was a great example. You could hear emotion in his voice. Something often not heard with stormtroopers.
amazing film. could have added some erosion/dirt to the lightsaber since it was 15 years later. but hey, way better than disney.
i've turned on post notifications as well. ready for the next episode. where do i donate?
she said, ''it must be special metal. it has not even rusted.'' so you can forgive the crew not wanting to get their replica dirty. :)
Great story on a $7k budget that stayed true to OT SFX

I can't like your comment.... it's at #66 😆
The saddest thing here is knowing that this might not continue. and it’s not a 2hour movie which would be nice.
*which... But I agree; a two hour movie with this sort of writing, etc. would be awesome!
YO!!! That order 66 intro is a dark way to start the movie, such a great way to kick things off. Just saw your feed on Instagram, and bam!! I loved this movie just only 10 minutes in.
#ABQ4
this was amazing! it blows my mind a billion-dollar company like Disney can't find any writer or directors to encapsulate the feeling of StarWars yet some dedicated fans with a much smaller budget can make something this great. I would love to see these ideas worked into the next Starwars films! great job to everyone involved!
Ok this has to be the best fan-film I’ve ever seen....you guys managed to make stormtroopers human, have canon realistic aliens, a fantastic story and beautiful effects in 20 minutes! Thank you so much...
That storm trooper had more character development than Rey did in the entire first film
He had more character development than Rey had în the whole Sequal Trilogy. Funny how I cared more about this Storm Trooper dieing since I actually hoped he would help them escape thanks to the friendship he had with the girl. Contrary to Rey which I didn't care two shits for and the only time she got any emotion out of me was when she supposedly died in ROS. But that joy quickly turned to anger when she got resurected. But even that anger went as quick as it came because that just how little I care for Rey that she can't even sustain my anger for her.
#ABQ4
@@NANA-lt6hd I totally agree.
shut up
@Lukas Earnest NO U !, stay out of this, message wasn't even for you
Great fan film. With a forceghost to guide her it explains how she survived the first encounter. To sad the officers was so hasty...
This needs a sequel (or 5), it is the will of the Force!!
In less than 20 minutes, you emotionally connected me to the characters. Something the last 3 films have not been able to do. I'm sure I'm not alone.
My husband and I just watched this and it's just amazing! Love, love, love the actors, the special effects, just, total SW vibe! Love this so much and can't wait to see more from these filmmakers!
How cool would it have been if this was Rey’s backstory. Like if she was into the stories of the empire, and even thought that Finn was exciting only to have it all crashed down around her.
Rey doesn't need anything. Leave that trash to Disney.
i was thinking the same thing....elements of this would have been pretty cool for Rey if they started it this way for her character.
Yes you right, that a better start for a story
Yes, if disney didn't try to push agenda and did deep mystical star wars movie ike always they were then yes it was possible to make Rey good. I still dunno why they crossed out EU only to steal plots from books anyway. They just mixed them wrongly.
I went into tears watching this! It is so full of love and true to the genre. Could watch such stuff day for day and pay for it! Subscribed and now checking if and what is there more. Many, many thanks!
Lead actor July Janssen was superb. The force is Strong with this one. Hope to see a second and third act of this story. Wonderful.
“You think life is simple because I made it simple for you.” Goosebumps
Fantastic dialogue, acting….definitely captures the essence of Star Wars in this 22 minutes!!
This is much, much, better than other fan films on TH-cam. The acting, music and cinematography is put together in a way that makes sense, so it doesn't feel forced or tacky. Well done character backstory for a short.
in all these years this is by far the best production i have seen so far. Amazing story and plot twist. more emotions than in most official star wars conent. Additionally the Costumes were absolutely authentic, the scenes and sets were chosen very well to make it feel as distanced from earth but still somewhat similar. I mean it gave me the feeling that they're on some planet with a big forest within the star wars universe. Unlike the majority of other star wars fan content, where you constantly feel like you're watching some nerds playing with toys in a forest or garden. This one here is probably produced by a crew of producers and film makers who most likely learn this at a college or recently graduated. They not only chose amazing realistic cuts and scenes but they also had the color grading and all the post edits of the video material done very well. The VFX and CGI team did an outstanding job as well, not sure if its the same people who did the cutting and post edits but they did a really really good job! everything looked amazing, realistic and felt entirely authentic. Only one scene exists where i noticed one VFX mistake. When you see the phase 2 clones get the call from Palpatine commanding them to execute order 66, they fired red blaster shots out of the standard DC-15s... some of you might have noticed there is something off haha. the DC-15S fires blue blasts only. they only got similar guns that fire red shots..
Darth Vader ignites his lightsaber
Random stormtrooper: who are you showing the lightsaber to?
Darth Vader: My fans
#ABQ4
The stars duh
*closest Stormtrooper quietly starts to back away... probably*
Really good story and the acting felt a lot more professional than usual.
👏👏👏
I like this Jedi. She was very etherial. Even in the flesh, she was more in the Force than in the physical moment. No wonder she became a force ghost.
Indeed. It was probably rare to find jedi like her during the Clone Wars
@@kenpoarniceguy1 Her deflecting the blaster bolts, it's honestly beautiful. It's not fighting, it's a dance. It's art.
The fact that she started controlling the girl is the way you can make someone with no training winning a skirmish actually understandable. It wasn't the girl; it was the Jedi
To all the haters, this is an incredible film. It gives us all the qualities we fell in love with when Lucas made the original trilogy. The original was his passion movies, films he spent his entire life developing. Films like this are created with that same passion and it shows.
You know a fan film is good when they gave you goosebumps! Amazing job.
Right!!!
The alien sniper is cool! Nicely done, I like seeing that kind of variety in the Star Wars universe, though it is hard to pull off in fan fiction.
Not much of a sniper if you miss dozens of shots on 4 still targets located 10 meters from your position. I agree tho, he's a cool guy.
I don't know if it's just me but I kind of getting Plo Koon vibes from this character. Perhaps based off that specie. Still pretty well done. I love that about Star Wars.
@@RealEmm You probably get those vibes from the mask he's wearing.
Wasn't he speaking Huttese?
For an amateur effort, this was really good; I loved it. I love seeing fans come together to do things like this. Thank you for sharing this with us, well done.
this fan flic HAS to get a sequel !!!1 it fully deserves one... the story line, the setting, the acting, the effects... EVERYTHING IS GREAT !!! please please PLEASE make a sequel !!!! this deserves to be in the hall of fame somewhere, the studios couldnt make this any better !!!
there needs to be a part 2 and maybe even a 3 for this. I absolutely loved it.
Im from the future.
This movie will get 1 million views
Marana my life
llater Years 9
Captain obvious has spoken!
It has 100 k rn
@Marana 213K as of now...
The more exposure it gets, the more views it will have. Migjt tale a year, but... this could get a million views.
I forgot I was watching a fam film for a minute, my guy was acting his ass off. BRAVO!
This is INCREDIBLE. It feels sooo canon, I love it! Amazing acting and amazing editing 🙌👏
This is by far the best fan film ever, even surpassing bucketheads. The acting, cinematography, and effects were movie level good. If this was in a real Star Wars movie, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Great job, can’t wait to see a part 2!
Seriously amazing.
Great work. You should take pride … whoever worked and made this. All of you! Bravo!!
Emotionally the most engaging fan movie I've seen. Great acting, much above average! The moment when she turns on the light Saber for the first time has the power of one of those key scenes in film history. I'm still baffled .... Congrats!
Great job! Your F/X and CGI were spot on. Story, characters, acting... Well done, folks. 🍻🖖
Beautiful from start to finish. I had goosebumps when she started wielding the lightsaber.
Can we just appreciate the MUSIC SELECTION
This film has a lot of heart
Will there be more to this? Would really like to see where this goes next.
Very well done, the special effects was better than I expected.
What a good job! I didn't expect that. One of the best fanmade i have ever seen. Good actors but the main character, the girl, was amazing
Miss Jansen should be in Hollywood, that's some of the best acting I've seen in a long time ❤️❤️❤️❤️
.......this only has 745k views????
To say this was a great delivery is an understatement!
Beyond well done!
Bravo!!!
Look back again.
Fabulous! Amazing actors, awesome effects, cool story line! This gets a 5 star from me!!!!!
Big question: WILL WE GET A SECOND???!!! I NEED MOREEEE!!
I need a sequal to this. I want to know more about that girl and how she develops.
Just watch Rey, that's how she ends up developing.
That was awesome.
@@deniveave4612 No, because there are clear differences.
#ABQ4
another example of a fan film, what it means to be a good star wars story to tell. I feel more familiar to this short movie as the big budget disney crap.
disney ruined everything about Star Wars
Myooteme 真優美 I don’t think so I like the movies and saw a he new one yesterday it was amazing
@@connorwright2586 of course you do you probably never read Timothy Zahn's, Thrawn Trilogy.
@@connorwright2586 they are soulless, corporate cash grabs. They are made with the passion for making money, not a passion for storytelling.
Great story on a $7k budget that stayed true to OT SFX
th-cam.com/video/a_GLQZEhG90/w-d-xo.html
This is the best fan film I’ve seen so far, the acting was almost as brilliant as the writing. Amazing job!
Waow guys, thank you so much for this hidden gem. The story was captivating, the acting was amazing, and the force ghost was brilliant. Great scenes throughout the whole entire time. Beautiful saber, a masterpiece. I wish you would make more content! I would support you
Congrats on 1 million views - sorry it took me so long to watch this. Your production quality is impeccable and you have made an outstanding piece of fan fiction that will endure. Pai is canon!
Vader turning on his lightsaber at the end for no reason felt kinda cheesy
It's a cheesy film predictable as sin. I bet u were not shocked when the uncle was killed
Fr
@@africanhistory true
Some of us like a little cheese.
So was killing the admiral after he simply told the information, he usually chokes enemies and people who failed but never official he has no problem with
Absolutely incredible, this is a real Star wars story.
This deserves more attention
This really does need more attention because it’s actually Star Wars not the SJW crap the sequels are
The people who dislike this are Kathleen Kennedy fans and probably thought they were watching a Star Trek fan film...
Thank you, brilliant - it's a big galaxy, there could have been thousands of amazing stories being forged like the. This is his now my official head cannon!
“You think the world is simple because I made it simple for you!” Fantastic writing!
This was really cool, the fights need work, but it was really cool.
Yea
WoW! No way this is a fan film. Has to be Disney secretly pitching us ideas. ;)
Great work, I will blast this all over social media in hopes that this story gains a lot more attention.
Very well done, actually refreshing to see the perspective of someone who legitimately likes the empire. Sad she had to then be forced into that situation.
Great short film guys and girls.
One tiny mistake I can't let go sorry. The blaster bolt colour the clones fired from their weapons was the wrong colour should have been blue .
Also they are carrying E11 blasters, which weren't around during the clone wars.
They're not clones.
@@ruawalters 0:40 into the video... 4 Clones wearing phase 2 armour...
This was just WONDERFUL! And the girl playing Pai was fantastic!!
I love the idea of having a Jedi force ghost take over someone(after "getting permission") to protect them.
but yea vader whippin his saber out for no reason was goofy af.
#ABQ4
Vader does not need a reason for whipping his saber out!
