  • Years of hiding and secrecy, a surviving Padawan has been hastily training his younger brother Jaccar to the best of his abilities. Hoping to eventually have someone to fight back with against the Empire and the horrors of Order 66.
    His brother’s neurodegenerative disease continues to limit the time they have to make something of his secret training. Multiple failed tests have led to an attempt where he has tasked his brother to protect a relic for a 24 hour period…
    The Director: A year and a half ago I decided to jump into the deep end of the storytelling world and make something about what's closest to my heart, Star Wars. When I was 9 years old my dad took me out of school early to go see Revenge of the Sith on launch day its one of my most cherished memories. Although the film falls quite short in many areas I'm grateful for everything I've learned, the people I got to work with, and hope to bring the bigger story I envision to life in the future. Happy Star Wars day everyone and May the Fourth be with you.

    This definitely has some potential and is already far above many of the other SW short films out there. Can’t wait for part 2 to expand the story!

    Seriously almost all of the fan projects are 100 times better then any film Disney does

      It's not that hard to do better than Disney - they've reached quite a bottom. That's not to say what the fans are doing deserves any less respect, though. Quite the opposite. To be fair, I'm sure a lot of people at Disney's SW division do care about the franchise but they still end up making crap due to being told to do so by their higher ups. Like Kathleen Kennedy, who would put all kinds of muppets in leading positions (directors, writers, etc.) just to satisfy some agenda, play on nostalgic feelings and cater to certain groups. But at the end of the day, do you really need Disney to put in effort when the fans make stuff THIS good? I really don't care personally, because no matter how well or badly done a fan film is, you know was made with actual passion for Star Wars that only independent people outside the influence of big corporations could maintain.

    Yes, this is good. From the opening scene, the cinematography set the tone and the mood. The view from perspective at lakeside. The evening fire burning as we see a person approaching..prefect.

    @user-ko3vg7fc7o ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks great! Would love to see more. One small request, (well two) closed captioning would be great for us folks listening on phones when we are supposed to be working and cant turn volume uo... and slow down the title scrolling sequence a bit or steeping the angle as it goes up so those of us on phones, with older eyes can read it easier. Other than that I'm an instant fan! Live the idea ,the cast, photography, especially love the story! Most people forget there has to be a great story a d not just bigger explosions a d gorier gore to make a great show, a d you've got something here! Keep it up!!

    honestly needs a bit more refinement. You cant just add light sabers to a script and call it fan. What makes cinematography different for SW? Study the wipes. Timing. Depth of field is all wrong, the sequences too long. Script needs a bit. Audio needs well layering will help tremendously here. I don't know your history and background and I am comparing it to iconic work so I give this a 4/10 as it is far better than most. Watch the films again and try to see the essence. Without the light sabers this looks just a vacation movie with 2 dudes, a fallout shelter with some candles, and some fishing line. However, if this is your first film kudos, you can only go up from here. I do encourage you to make more and find your own style. You do have skills that need to be developed. Slow down the camera. Find better points of camera views, eye level is not always best. The drone shot was interesting but did not flow from previous to next scene. Experiment with emotion in the scene based on camera position and audio comp. Everything is coming from your cast, they must flow with the environment. The NPC are the candles, have the dude move one to show the dance or wind from the door opening blows a few out. Muted lighting. Remember its 4 dimensions not 2. Your almost there but just short. Remember you're on another planet were everything is most likely covered in dust and rust. Certainly not vibrant. Slow the lines, deliberate and lost is the key. Good luck!

    Geez, you Star Wars junkies are the worst. A masterpiece? Why, because it had lightsabers? Bad dialogue, bad acting, and a pointless plot.
