How is it that we have here better acting, cinematography, story, dialogue and ACTION than the big billion dollar movies???? The fighting in this actually was loads better than anything we got on the big screen. The scene where the night sister deflects a blaster bolt with her hand…. Soo cool!!
THAT was impressive - THAT is what Start Wars USED to feel like when I was a child and there was emotional investment into the characters - you pulled off in 22 minutes what Disney and Lucas have forgotten - it's the character of the Jedi and the evil of the Sister that made me tear up when he thrust his saber through himself to rid the galaxy of her stench. SO well done...
This is literally so perfect? The acting, the choreography, the story, just everything- It was just overall amazing and everyone did such a good job omg, that lightsaber fight was better than the fights in the sequels like im shocked and I love this so much-
You guys gave me so much inspiration as a college student who is aspiring to make films like this. Great work and kudos to all the cast, directors and producers.
Absolutely astounding! Gave this 40 year old man the feels. I will forever be amazed with the level of passion portrayed in these fan based films. The more I witness these masterpieces, the more I come to hate Disney for what they have done to our beloved franchise. You, my good sir, have earned a subscription. Happy holidays to your and your crew!
Very nicely done...my first reaction after the sacrifice was the brother looking at the sister and being like...yo...we got three lightsabers now...sweet
I was totally taken aback with what Rowan did - never saw it coming, and it was amazing. But I’m still a little sad - I’d have loved to watch her career with interest, she had a lot of stories yet. Plus, she’s beautiful.
Fan film that really captures and adds to the tragedy and inhumanity of the Jedi Purge. The siblings truly exhibited what the Jedi represented even when it would be more pragmatic to stay on the run.
I watched episode 4 in 1977……..I have just watched the best lightsaber duel in any Star Wars production…..and I’ve seen them all…..the whole film was outstanding on every level……THIS IS THE WAY 👍
How is it that Disney with all their billion could not even come close to the action and acting in this fan-made film? Well done by all. Time to take back Star wars universe for ourselves
Ciao and thank you very much for this wonderful SW Fan Film, i'm a Fan since 1983, so i wish you all a wonderful Weekend, many greetings from brunswick in germany and please stay safe 🙃
A T-16 Skyhopper that is somehow converted for space AND hyperspace? Now that was a good mechanic. Great show though. Let me edit this: Great Show! 22 minutes and thirty seconds of awesomeness!
Every time I see a Star Wars short film I am delighted and once again it takes away the bad mouth taste that the force awakens left me. That was my last movie in the Star Wars saga. I mourn inside.
I hear you. Rogue One was my last (which I really liked), but I choked after a few minutes into Solo. I did try a couple more, but same - quit after minutes. And then I lost interest in The New Republic…until now.
This one was a positive surprise. The writing was mostly good, and some of the actors top tier. Especially the two mechanics or whatever they were. Excellent and compelling delivery, felt like real human beings.
This is truly one of the best fan films I have ever seen. When the Jedi saved those two and then stuck his lightsaber through himself to make sure she couldn't get to them had me in tears. The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker couldn't even make me do that. 👍👍
This was absolutely top notch, extremely well done, excellent (you should be getting the idea). I thought the acting was especially good. I hope you all do another.
Oh damn! I did NOT see Rowan doing that. Wow. I was actually rootin for the Sister until Rowan went Old Republic with honor. Absolutely, completely, totally, 100% amazing, what a fantastic story. You’re making me take a new look at the New Republic. The Sister’s swordplay was just phenomenal and Rowan’ was superb. So magnificently realistic. And the A-Wing was the cherry on top - my favorite Republic star fighter! The TIE Striker was a nice touch, too. I can’t compliment you enough on this film. The story, cinematography, acting, realism…so good. I was totally engrossed, I enjoyed this sooo much. Thank you. Nice work.
I never comment on any of the fan films I've seen to date. This amazing film is just too good to not mention - you guys have created an absolutely outstanding piece of art here. The story was great, acting and action sequences were amazing. Smashed it out the park on this effort - up there with and in most cases surpass the Lucasfilm efforts. Well done Mitchel Merrick and the entire cast and crew. Outstanding.
Great work! If creative excellence was the basis of copyright, then fan film makes like this group would be suing Disney for intellectual property theft :-) Not all fan films are great, but it is where the best Star Wars creativity is found.
Absolutely stunning production - Disney should learn from you True and Dedicated Fans! Tense, exciting, marvelous and convincing acting, a well written script with a twist, audio and visual brilliance against great backdrop scenery - and no doubt one of the best light-saber fights seen in eons. Bravo to you all! You've made a grouchy fan of the original films rediscover his faith in the Force.
I really enjoyed this ! The fighting scenes are beautiful and the actors did a marvelous job, the Hara-kiri style death was especially poetic in a way.
This is one of the best SW fan films I’ve ever seen. Fantastic overall with some great nods to the franchise plus some original saber battle moves I’ve never seen before. Great job to you all! 🍻
Agreed! Nate did a very good job with the fight choreography. Having some sword-fighting training myself, I have a pet-peeve with the reverse grip, but the fight scenes were well done. :)
This film more than exceeded my expectations. I was quite impressed by the acting and CGI from this, as well as the well-executed story and the VERY convincing props and costumes. Loved it!
Outstanding! From the incredible production values to the intense choreography to the believable acting and the engrossing story, this Fan Film is a wonderful example of how truly awesome Star Wars is (and can be)! As an author of fanfic myself, I appreciate the dedicated work, attention to details, and exceptional commitment that everyone attached to this film has provided; but it's as a life-long fan that I would like to express my gratitude for sharing this with everyone who loves everything about "a galaxy far, far away" 🙂
Thank you so much for the kind words 😊❤️ we’re glad you enjoyed it and it’s the same for us! We wanted to create something purely out of love for this world. A passion project in every sense of the word. As a fellow author, if we end up making more stories we would love to hear ideas of where the story might go if you have any!
The CGI was pretty good for a fan channel, but you could clearly tell it was CGI. The acting was pretty good (not the best but good for a fan channel), as was the action. The costumes and makeup were superb for a fan channel! I REALLY liked the bounty hunters scar and eye makeup!! The Sith girl deflecting the blaster bolt here: 13:34 was super cool!! I loved the little sequel references, like how she was able to grab and freeze people, like Kylo Ren was. (I am a fan of the sequels so I really enjoyed that) 14:52 WOW! Did not expect that! REALLY liked that! The shot at 16:39... Wish that held longer. That's a VERY pretty shot of them both standing off one another. That ending thoooooughhhh!! Very pretty cinematography. I liked the music too.
Awesome writing. Great story telling. Beautiful scenes. Especially the pyre at the end. Extremely well done. You know, there are actors in our Hawaii community that would gladly lend their talents for another fan film, myself included. Should we be fortunate enough to have another iteration here in Hawaii, please let me know. Until then, awesome job, amazing work and May The Force Be With You!
This was beautifully made! The story, the choreography, the intense moments, everything you did played out beautifully. You all deserve High Fives, Hugs and Handshakes all around for a job well done! Bravissimo!!!!!!! 😉👍💛❤️💛❤️

I think you are blowing this up a little bit lol it was good, but come on man
@@MentalGymnastics1980 The story was better, and the acting and dialogue were as well. The fight was short and sweet, like actual duels.
Really is a masterpieces
@@zillagrilla315 If you all say so. It was good, but Pip or whatever her nameis wasn't good, and the acting was ok all around.

I agree this was a real deep one even when the sis shed a tear and her eyes glow was like a woah moment they get it
Yes, jnb, yes. I couldn’t agree more. Serious passion in this one.
Agree with you! Great words!
My sentiments exactly.
I am just beyond impressed with the well done work here, amazing work from the producer and actors!!! Go Mitchel Merrick I encourage a sequel!!!
Mahalo! We would love to do a sequel!!’

Awesome!!!! Thank you for the comment. Good luck on your future productions!
These fan films are so impressive. This is the real Star wars.
THIS IS SO AWESOME! I was lucky enough to meet the creators of this last night. Amazing people and an AMAZING film!
Absolutely golden human being right here. 🙏♥️

@@tb7771Same here. And same here. :)
There's some really good touching moments in this. Excellent work. Love the embers that turn into stars at the end.
Man you guys hit it out of the park with this. The storyline, actors, special effects, & the Hawaiian islands as the background. Great job !
Mahalo!!! 😊🤙🏽
I’ve seen a ton of Star Wars fan films and this one is definitely one of the best. Well done to the cast and crew! 🙌🎉
Thank you so much! ❤️
I've watched dozens of fan films in SW universe, and this is hands down the best one so far. Disney should hire you
No. They can’t have him.
Very nicely done...my first reaction after the sacrifice was the brother looking at the sister and being like...yo...we got three lightsabers now...sweet
Incredibly well done from choreography to acting, effects and all. The sith apprentice girl was an amazing actress. Over all great story telling
Thank you so much! We are so grateful Rebecca Teresia (Serin) was able to be a part of this project.
I was totally taken aback with what Rowan did - never saw it coming, and it was amazing. But I’m still a little sad - I’d have loved to watch her career with interest, she had a lot of stories yet. Plus, she’s beautiful.
Really really good!!! Story, cinematography, colour, choeography, sfx, but foremost the acting. Thank you very much for this wonderful film.
Yes, I agree, the story, editing and Cinematography in this is amazing!!! Mitchel is truly a wonderful filmmaker :)
Thank you so much for the high praise!!!
Wow 👏 this was awesome! I love all the little subtle details of well known Star Wars phrases or moments too! Great stuff
Thank you!!!
When the acting, fight choreography, and visuals rival any Disney Plus show, it's time for Disney to start hiring fans to make this content...
Thank you so much 😅

Fan film that really captures and adds to the tragedy and inhumanity of the Jedi Purge. The siblings truly exhibited what the Jedi represented even when it would be more pragmatic to stay on the run.
Excellent fan film! Better than anything Disney has to offer.
Such high praise!!! Thank you so much 😊
The force is strong with this one.

Big props to these amazing people, this was an amazing production

THE FORCE IS STRONG IN THIS ONE !!!! Have to love star wars.
Excellent! We as the viewers didn’t know who was supposed to live or die. The best ideas come from the underground. It was a good run for mainstream….

George Lucas and Mark Hamill are disappointed. Greetings
Absolutely brilliant. The acting especially sets this apart from many fan films. But everything was great.
Deserves at least 1000x the views than that of which it has.
Thank you so much
absolutely great -- thoroughly enjoyed this
I loved the end of the saber battle! That was awesome!
Best swordplay I’ve seen in these fan films.
This one was a positive surprise. The writing was mostly good, and some of the actors top tier. Especially the two mechanics or whatever they were. Excellent and compelling delivery, felt like real human beings.
This is Fantastic ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. There are can be infinite number of stories in the Star Wars Universe infinite ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope so. It’s my dream to one day write one.
Excellent, production, acting, wardrobe, props, ect.
Worthy of an acttual movie 👍
Wow 😍
Great Work 👍🏻
More Star Wars Feeling than the sequels 👌🏻
Probably the highest quality Star Wars fan film on TH-cam. Well done, you deserve A LOT more recognition for this.
Absolutely awesome. All phases of making a movie were top notch. Please make more.
❤ Smells of Life, Fun and Science-fiction -- and all the enthusiasm that we, fans can build to an artwork! 👏 Congrats!
A very well done Star Wars film(fan or otherwise)we can all enjoy. Bravo!!!!!!❤
Very well done. Excellent light sabre duel.
This was really great. Great story telling, emotion was felt and lightsaber battles were great + Angie is a natural!
This is truly one of the best fan films I have ever seen. When the Jedi saved those two and then stuck his lightsaber through himself to make sure she couldn't get to them had me in tears. The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker couldn't even make me do that. 👍👍

Well put.
Congratulations to the cast and crew! This is such a great Star Wars fan film. It's great to see Rebecca and Nate! Awesome work everyone!

Giving a worthy meaning to the word 'sacrifice'.
Kudos and well done to the entire production team.

Damnd that was beuitiful what an ending
two ships, a couple light sabers, couple blasters ,plus whatever else , I'd say those two had a pretty productive day :)
