@@ndaheroson7941 nah, they are kinda as bland as ST characters, Jyn is essentially just force-less rey, team members don't really interact a lot, and for no reason Jyn and Cassian are feeling romantical right when Death Star blows them up.
@@krisrenaldi2602Bahahaha I’m also trying to figure out which part was that moving. Every fan show comment section has its little cluster of “when fans do a better job than DMouse does” peanut gallery. Not gonna lie… I’ve always wanted some back story on what happens to those empire jerks who crash their vehicles and are forced to return to camp on foot with a random prisoner. Pay attention Filoni, Favreau, and Lucas!!!
Guys, this is incredible.....great actors, beautiful locations, great direction and pacing and of course perfect costumes and props. You should all be very proud.
The locations are spot on and I love all the movie tropes not even all star wars based... amazing film making especially for indie/fan stuff. Hope the creators get jobs in the star wars universe
This has to be one of the most incredible fan films I have ever seen. The acting was on point, the story was well written, and the dialogue felt real. The pacing, an often underappreciated aspect, was also expertly done. It truly is insane to see work come out of fans that is, at least in some cases, far superior to the official media that Disney has been shoveling towards us. Great work all around guys.
This is one of the most original, intelligent and well presented and produced fan film I’ve seen for a long time. The idea of two adversaries joining forces to survive is a well used trope, but applying it the way you did in the Star Wars universe was masterful. Reminding us that Ewoks are not cuddly little Teddy Bears was a good call and the performances by the principals were totally believable. The score while inspired by Williams, was sufficiently original to convey the feeling of a Star Wars score yet maintained its own identity. Thank for a very entertaining interlude.
These teddy bears almost cooked Han and Luke for dinner. My bet is Ewoks did not attack the empire because they liked Leia. They did because imperials were easy dinner.
@@metroglow236 This convinced me that George Lucas is a rebel propagandist. How can anyone show those furry fierce beasts as cute dolls that walk and eat humans. I do not know what is he doing in a galaxy far far away, unless it is this galaxy and he is preparing Earth to join the rebels.😂
Thank you for the amazing comment. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. It’s a massive under taking trying to make a Star Wars film of any scale, let alone without a real budget. So for ours to achieve any kind of positive resonation with other fans really means the world to all of us that worked on this series. Thank you for finding the humour where we slipped it in there and for appreciating the story. It means a lot.
Kudos to the cameraman for traveling to a galaxy far, far away to film this documentary. It takes real devotion to one’s craft to capture the raw emotion of an interstellar war.
I have no idea who you are, or how TH-cam finally managed to recommend something worth watching, but here I am, and this is fricking amaze-balls. The location, the costumes, and especially the weapons. I even loved the “Teddy Bear” jab line. Someone needs to be paying you to do this exact thing professionally. May the Force be with you, always.
When fireworks have died down and awards have been handed out... ordinary people remain on both sides of the barricades, who need to learn to live in a new reality. Beautiful work! Thank you! Your film made me cry 😭
I’m so happy to hear when that hits people (sorry!!) that’s my actual daughter so it hits me too! Haha I’m glad you enjoyed the story and thank you for the kind words.
Thank you. That’s my actual daughter there, so it was heavy at the time and still kinda hits me when I watch it and go into that world. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Worth the wait! "Alderaan"...now that was a twist I didn't expect!...Who needs Disney with the quality of this! Well done to ALL involved in this masterpiece!!! 😉👍
They’re not. Relax. Writing and delivery felt janky af at time. Y’all Disney haters must have been busy hating on minorities when Rogue One came out or something cause that movie was pure Star Wars dope.
Everybody did such an incredible job with After Endor. Probably my favorite Star Wars fan film ever. Thank you to all involved for gifting the fans with such a good short story!
Disney redefined what I understand as canon. I used to see a logo and it was canon. But now only excellence is canon. And THIS video is excellence. This video is canon to me.
In Disney star wars we got battlefront 2 in 2017 one of the missions was endor. In which a special forces unit got to see the second death star blow up and, that group proceed to kill every single rebel on endor making their way to some starfighters and fly them back to your ship. while doing that you're taking out rebel star fighters. I double-checked this game is Canon to the Star wars time line.
@aquarius5719 @afterendor absolutely 100% agreed! This is fantastic. For years I used to see fan films & sometimes cringe at the acting or writing, but there's been that level of passion. Disney has succeeded in removing that passion & quality. This film & others like redefine & resume that passion. WELL DONE!!
@@jimdraven2432 You did not watch the 5 episodes of Pink Five. First episode is just silly comedy. But as it moves on it becomes epic. The next episode is either in the thumbnail at the end of each video or in the description of the video
I've watched literally dozens of Star Wars fan films and none of them. NONE of them. Made me cry like this one. Absolute treasure this fan film. Thank you for making this! Y'all are legends and I truly hope you go far and continue making fan films. The acting, cinematography, fight coreography, character building, pure emotions, costumes, and props were just so on point. AND THAT TWIST WITH ALDERAAN!!!! OMG GENIUS!!!!!! Heart strings were pulled with that one. Everything was incredible and I loved every second. I can not put into words the depth of my amazement and joy in seeing such a well made film. Better than most of what Disney has produced in years. Nice job in outdoing them. Legendary🔥
Top marks to Tiffany and the whole soundtrack team for those staccato trumpets and dissonant strings. The music composition plays just enough of Williams’ themes so you feel it, but not too much to steel it. And it drove the emotion without being sentimental. Looking forward to your next.
Truly fantastic. Amazing what love of the source material can create. Such human material, exactly what had been missing from this franchise for a long, long time. You guys should be very proud of your accomplishment.
That's unfortunately not that difficult. Most of Disney writers have to jump through hideous amounts of red tape and plagiarism shorthand to have a group determine wether or not each line is in fact copywritable and if they can squeeze yet another marginalized group into any fragments that remain.
Holy crap. That's better than anything Disney has made. Hats off to everyone involved. I was absolutely into it the whole time. Manly tears at the end for me... MANLY TEARS!!! Good story and direction is better than millions of dollars, poor direction, and bad story. This is proof.
@@AfterEndor You can't seriously believe what you made compares to anything made by Lucasfilm? You'd be as delusional as that turkey you are responding to? Great effort but come on.
This is so true. Ironically Disney had the perfect opportunity to tell us their story. They gave us Finn: An ordinary Imperial soldier who decided to defect. This is such an interesting concept and could have been made great use of telling us stories from a perspective we never saw before. Unfornately they failed all the way. They not only underused his character, but also quickly relegated him to the backstage and also making him a comic relief more than once. I feel so bad for John Boyega...
Yep… when every movie has the entire universe hinging on it, nobody feels real. I think they’ve started doing some more small scale stories. There should be enough stories in that universe to last forever.
You guys did great. I admit I was skeptical when I saw it in my algorithm, but this is 100x better than anything the Mighty Mouse is putting out. I’ve been boycotting Star Wars since Solo: A Star Wars Story and I’ll be damned if this 30 minute fan film didn’t capture the magic that made me fall in love with Star Wars. You guys are out here doing the best kind of work. Hats off to everyone involved in this project!
this is by far the best fan-film I've seen. It's the small stories that made me love star wars over the years. Thank you to all who where involved with this amazing project!
My goodness, that was absolutely amazing. Someone needs to let Disney know this is how they write a great story for an Imperial trooper. Well done to the cast and crew.
@@AfterEndorGlad you went for it too. This was so great and shows hwo you can make a great film with quite a simple story if you just tweak it at the right points.
I cannot believe what I just watched. I felt more watching this than I did watching the sequel trilogy. Amazingly produced. Fantastic direction, acting, and writing! I absolutely loved this. So much nuance, so much grey. This felt close to Andor for me, which is a compliment, as it is my favourite Star Wars show. Just thank you so much for all of your hard work and for sharing this with us fellow fans. Thank you.
One of the few fan films that was incredible. The acting was top notch. The special effects were good enough and the story was amazing. The Alderaan part was brilliant. The Scout rider that Chewy shot off his speeder bike was brilliant. Someone always has to die and I hate that. But this was truly enjoyable from start to finish. I thank you for adding more to the Star Wars legacy. This film should go right next to all the rest of them. I don't count 7 - 9 as a part of my Star Wars Galaxy but I certainly do count this one.
I didn’t know about Star Wars fan films until yesterday when one came up on my suggested. I’ve been binging them for 2 days, and is my favorite so far. Great job.
It's that kind of stories the original trilogy lacks a lot. You don't get to see the imperial forces as a human being. They're all seen as evil. This is excellent story telling!
It never ceases to amaze me how fans can write stories with such depth, character, and sincerity. Beautifully crafted and created. Much applause and congratulations to the writers, director, and cinematography team for their incredible production.
OMG ! Great job. It looks so professional. I was amazed by the script, the quality of color and the editing. You truly deserve the award of the best SW FanFilm. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
The best fanfilm I've ever seen. That's so cool and I felt with the characters. The part at night with the ewoks remembered me to battlefront 2 and the background looks so real. Thank you very much, I wish this would be canon
Best Star Wars drama I've seen in well over a decade. Thanks to the makers, actors and writers for this. Clearly made with love by people who respect and know the GFFA.
The scout trooper running through the stages of grief was excellent. Well done. The Ewoks being omnivorous and enjoying a bit of long pig, well, they were going to cook and eat the rebels they captured until C3PO convinced them not too so that shouldn't be a surprise...
Oh man, what a gem! From " you're a great shot, I thought you guys always missed" to the scout's visions of his daughter. What a treat this half hour short was. Kudos to those all around that gave me more of an emotional roller-coaster than Disney ever could. 👏👏👏
Always hated Storm troopers as a kid. Thought they were just evil. Great job humanizing them for me. As a father of a 5 year daughter who hates to see me go to work every day, I feel his pain. Amazing job.
I like the way it adds context to the story of the end of Return. There are always winners and losers in wars, but in the end of things everyone loses if they keep fighting when the fighting should be over.
This is a well-crafted, beautifully written story. Sitting through this for half an hour was worth my time than the Sequel Trilogy. It felt like I was watching an episode of Andor due to the depiction of the darker side of the Rebellion in which not every rebel is a saint, yet that doesn't mean every Imperial is a rotten apple. I really like the bond that Scout and Princess developed along the way, and it was heartbreaking to see Scout learn that he can't go back home to Alderaan, that his daughter was on that planet when it was blown up, and how he sacrificed himself to give Princess a chance to return to his wife. I can't even forget to commend you for making the Ewoks scary as they should be, not to mention the humor and chemistry between the two protagonists, and the filming location for Endor, which also has grasslands and meadows as seen in the Ewok films. Nevertheless, this is an incredible journey and I hope you can keep telling more amazing stories that even George himself would be proud of. May the Force be with you.
Posting stuff like your comment should include the warning of "Spoiler Alert"... No need to give a detailed plot narrative whilst thanking the creator(s), as you're forgetting that some of us check the comments in order to see what others thought about it, before we spend our time watching it.
After many fan films later, this one is one of those closest to a human heart and mind. I cried at the end because it’s showcasing how war will tear the hearts and mind of good people and keep aside and showcase the bad people. Sigh sigh sigh. :’(
The sheer amount of detail in this film is mindblowing. At 17:48 you can see the rebel's eyes rapidly moving around in his sleep, which is caused by brain activity from dreaming.
This is as PERFECT a Star Wars film should be. I felt it throughout .... well written (except for 1 thing: "Teddy bears"); beautiful locations, great job with the music, WELL ACTED ALL!!!, direction - actors - story - AWARD WINNER!
It might be a "Fan Film" but its better than most big studio films and TV I've seen recently. It had a clear narrative arc, it had character development, it was thought provoking, it explored the complexity of human nature, it provoked emotions, it was well acted, written, shot and edited, it felt like an authentic part of the Star Wars canon.
I literally skimmed parts of this since up late but just watched certain parts, like the truth about his family, the rebel that had a change if heart, and the sacrifice part and they moved me. I got emotional chills! This! This right here is how much better it is then any of the newer disney stories they have released! The mere fact I just tired, skimmed parts of it did I get invested and emotional over it, is how much amazing and better this is compared to any of the current stuff up!
This is beautifully shot. Cinematography is just as good as the films. It has the original trilogy vibe. I have been a big fan of Isaac's work for a long time.
That was one of the best star wars fan films I have seen yet. Compelling storyline, great acting, perfect costumes/props. looked very professional. I hope you make another!
This was absolutely amazing! For me, bringing the very real, human realities of conflict into these stories adds substance and very relatable emotions to what once was just a good guy vs bad guy story for the most part. Not bagging on the stories because I have zero complaints about any of them. But to add stories such as this to them is exactly what they need. You deserve respect and acknowledgment for this piece and I really hope to see more. This was over the top! Thank you!
Absolutely awesome! This was such a magnitude better than anything Disney has offered up! Once again, the fans do Star Wars better than those who bought it! ❤
Wow that was brilliant, I dont normally comment In this case though I must say. That was amazing, I love Star wars but this was on another level. I felt real empathy and remorse for troper TB-138 and got so sucked into both the character's greatest of respect and appreciation to this films cast crew and creators, The force is strong with them all. 🤗
Just discovered this 5 months late. What an amazing fan film. George Lucas needs to find a note pad man. What an amazing side to a story we never knew we wanted. Congratulations!
Wow. Now *_that_* was damn good. First time I have ever been terrified by Ewoks. And realized just how terrible they were really. Thank you so much, just wonderful. And ten times better than Disney.
Wtf was this? This was freaking AMAZING! I literally almost cried! Also I've never been more afraid of those pesky ewoks! What a scene! Also the camerawork in general! The location!! The dream sequences! Beautiful! Also the whole thing just kept dragging me in. Went by with a snap of a finger! How does this not have millions of views!? What a story! 10/10 (maybe the ending was little overdramatic) But wow! Thank you so much! I did not expect this! Wow! I'm absolutely stunned! This must've been quite the project!! I can't even imagine! But what an outstanding result!
Thank you! Our Director of Photography, Isaac, did an incredible job. It's such a fascinating time to explore with all of the turmoil and change. So many stories could be told here.
Wow, blew me away. What an amazing story !! Well written and acted. You actually cared for these warriors and it hits you right in the feels. Loved this ! Well done.
I like how this doesn't glorify war. It's just a story of guys from both sides "doing their duty" and seeing the reality of it. Locations, costumes, acting. Top notch stuff!
I saw that the movie started off with a scene from the real film, and was waiting to see the shift in quality when it cut to the fanfilm part, and my jaw absolutely dropped when it stayed equally good. The actors did an amazing job, and the music and camera angles look like the actual films 👍👍👍
Wow, that was amazing. Great job on the music, using just enough of familiar themes to make them recognizable, but not so close as to infringe on Mr. Williams' scores. Great job all around. A sincere thank you!
I thought so too. Although the very end of the piece there's like a 5-note sw motif and either they're allowed to do that by law or they got permission either way they still gave credit to John Williams
Wow.... Its just great! Thank You very much! The editing, camera music are professional. Story and acting are very good, I feel closer to these two guys than to anyone in the new trilogy. Pls go on!
I really like this series of fan films because of how much more realistic it can portrays things. Not all the Imperials are evil, and not all the rebels are actual good guys, and stuff like that. Good job you guys. I hope to see more from you guys in the future.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed these ideas. I was always excited to explore that aspect of Star Wars. War is awful and everyone thinks they’re the good guys
@@AfterEndor Oh yeah, I mostly agree with you there. I mean, there's nothing wrong with a good old good vs evil story, but little bit of nuance can make a story so much better, especially as we get older and all. But you know what I mean.
@@AfterEndor There was a movie I saw about the Civil War (USA). The main character asked a Priest what he thought about it, and the Priest replied, "Sometimes I wonder if God gets tired of being called down by both sides?"
Disney TRIES to do this with the characters in its series but short of Andor cant seem to get it right in how the characters are written and portrayed imo

Why are "fan films" soooo much better than Disney Star Wars films? This was a true work of art, and love for the ongoing story.

@@AfterEndorGlad you went for it too. This was so great and shows hwo you can make a great film with quite a simple story if you just tweak it at the right points.
I cannot believe what I just watched. I felt more watching this than I did watching the sequel trilogy. Amazingly produced. Fantastic direction, acting, and writing! I absolutely loved this. So much nuance, so much grey. This felt close to Andor for me, which is a compliment, as it is my favourite Star Wars show. Just thank you so much for all of your hard work and for sharing this with us fellow fans. Thank you.
So this is what happens when talented people do something out of love.
❤
Thanks for keeping the dream alive.
That means. A lot. Thank you!
One of the few fan films that was incredible. The acting was top notch. The special effects were good enough and the story was amazing. The Alderaan part was brilliant. The Scout rider that Chewy shot off his speeder bike was brilliant. Someone always has to die and I hate that. But this was truly enjoyable from start to finish. I thank you for adding more to the Star Wars legacy. This film should go right next to all the rest of them. I don't count 7 - 9 as a part of my Star Wars Galaxy but I certainly do count this one.
Even better as a supercut! Thanks for releasing it all as one video.
Our pleasure!
You thought this was good?
I cried harder than that Scout Trooper did when he found out Alderan was blown up...
@@jaydub5515 the storyline is good that’s why Star Wars originally used it 😂
I didn’t know about Star Wars fan films until yesterday when one came up on my suggested. I’ve been binging them for 2 days, and is my favorite so far. Great job.
It's that kind of stories the original trilogy lacks a lot. You don't get to see the imperial forces as a human being. They're all seen as evil.
This is excellent story telling!
It never ceases to amaze me how fans can write stories with such depth, character, and sincerity. Beautifully crafted and created. Much applause and congratulations to the writers, director, and cinematography team for their incredible production.
OMG ! Great job. It looks so professional. I was amazed by the script, the quality of color and the editing.
You truly deserve the award of the best SW FanFilm.
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
Thank YOU so much! We made this for fans like you and are so happy you enjoyed it :)
that was *FANTASTIC* , great Camera, great Acting, great Costumes and awesome writing
If only Disney could apply in this way with thought and good story towards Star Wars. This was brilliant thank you for sharing 🎬👌🧡
Thank you so much!
Disney cant as it aint got the Talent or inteligence .
@@salvagedb2470 - It's given its soul to the Darkside, so any intelligence and talent it had went to that.🤔🧐😈💀🤢
The best fanfilm I've ever seen. That's so cool and I felt with the characters. The part at night with the ewoks remembered me to battlefront 2 and the background looks so real. Thank you very much, I wish this would be canon
This is what we should have on the big screen. Great writing, great plot and great idea. We hope there's more on the way 🤘
Thank you! Will for sure keep working on more. So glad you enjoyed it!
Best Star Wars drama I've seen in well over a decade.
Thanks to the makers, actors and writers for this. Clearly made with love by people who respect and know the GFFA.
Generation X thanks you for restoring what Star Wars meant to us.
A standing ovation tour de force performance by all 🌹 👏
Thank you so much!
@@AfterEndor Much deserved!😎👍
@@AfterEndorright beside empire, maybe better.
Exactly.
Please don't speak on behalf of anyone but yourself.
The scout trooper running through the stages of grief was excellent. Well done.
The Ewoks being omnivorous and enjoying a bit of long pig, well, they were going to cook and eat the rebels they captured until C3PO convinced them not too so that shouldn't be a surprise...
Yes, that was very convincing acting. Also Ewoks being something more than just cute teddy bears is well, realistic :)
This is so much better than any of Disney’s Star Wars. Excellent story and a bittersweet ending.
You cannot be possibly be serious. What a stupid comment.
Mini-Films and animations like these always bring back that awesome feeling Star Wars first gave me. Y'all did amazing!
Oh man, what a gem! From " you're a great shot, I thought you guys always missed" to the scout's visions of his daughter. What a treat this half hour short was. Kudos to those all around that gave me more of an emotional roller-coaster than Disney ever could. 👏👏👏
Always hated Storm troopers as a kid. Thought they were just evil. Great job humanizing them for me. As a father of a 5 year daughter who hates to see me go to work every day, I feel his pain. Amazing job.
I like the way it adds context to the story of the end of Return. There are always winners and losers in wars, but in the end of things everyone loses if they keep fighting when the fighting should be over.
This is a remarkable fan film. Beautifully written, beautifully shot, and such excellent attention paid to the lore. 👏
This is a well-crafted, beautifully written story. Sitting through this for half an hour was worth my time than the Sequel Trilogy. It felt like I was watching an episode of Andor due to the depiction of the darker side of the Rebellion in which not every rebel is a saint, yet that doesn't mean every Imperial is a rotten apple.
I really like the bond that Scout and Princess developed along the way, and it was heartbreaking to see Scout learn that he can't go back home to Alderaan, that his daughter was on that planet when it was blown up, and how he sacrificed himself to give Princess a chance to return to his wife. I can't even forget to commend you for making the Ewoks scary as they should be, not to mention the humor and chemistry between the two protagonists, and the filming location for Endor, which also has grasslands and meadows as seen in the Ewok films.
Nevertheless, this is an incredible journey and I hope you can keep telling more amazing stories that even George himself would be proud of. May the Force be with you.
Posting stuff like your comment should include the warning of "Spoiler Alert"... No need to give a detailed plot narrative whilst thanking the creator(s), as you're forgetting that some of us check the comments in order to see what others thought about it, before we spend our time watching it.
After many fan films later, this one is one of those closest to a human heart and mind. I cried at the end because it’s showcasing how war will tear the hearts and mind of good people and keep aside and showcase the bad people. Sigh sigh sigh. :’(
The sheer amount of detail in this film is mindblowing. At 17:48 you can see the rebel's eyes rapidly moving around in his sleep, which is caused by brain activity from dreaming.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!
I'm blown away. I felt real emotions watching this. This needs more views for sure.
This is as PERFECT a Star Wars film should be. I felt it throughout .... well written (except for 1 thing: "Teddy bears"); beautiful locations, great job with the music, WELL ACTED ALL!!!, direction - actors - story - AWARD WINNER!
Thank you! I know I took some liberties with that one. But Han says “see you in hell!”, so I figured I didn’t mind it.
Yeah, this 'purist' needs to lighten up, sit back & just enjoy the story. Again, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
No worries at all. I appreciate the love!
@@aaronbuckmiller4728 You make some good points, the good and the bad.
It might be a "Fan Film" but its better than most big studio films and TV I've seen recently. It had a clear narrative arc, it had character development, it was thought provoking, it explored the complexity of human nature, it provoked emotions, it was well acted, written, shot and edited, it felt like an authentic part of the Star Wars canon.
I literally skimmed parts of this since up late but just watched certain parts, like the truth about his family, the rebel that had a change if heart, and the sacrifice part and they moved me. I got emotional chills! This! This right here is how much better it is then any of the newer disney stories they have released! The mere fact I just tired, skimmed parts of it did I get invested and emotional over it, is how much amazing and better this is compared to any of the current stuff up!
this had me tearing up, the character development is spot on, writing, cinematography, sets, props, top quality. hats off to you and your team!
This is beautifully shot. Cinematography is just as good as the films. It has the original trilogy vibe. I have been a big fan of Isaac's work for a long time.
Isaac did an incredible job. We're so lucky that he came on board to shoot this.
You are dreaming.
I see you @josh
Without exaggeration, this is better than Star Wars. And I love Star Wars ❤❤❤
Wow! This is amazing!! Everything from the editing, composition, casting, wardrobe, score and colourgrade were excellent. Most impressive!
Impressive. Most impressive! Love your callback to Empire Strikes Back. Thank you!
@@AfterEndor this is great we need shows like these
i haven't cried this hard for an imperial soldier ever!!!! this was amazing i will be share this video everywhere
That was one of the best star wars fan films I have seen yet. Compelling storyline, great acting, perfect costumes/props. looked very professional. I hope you make another!
This was absolutely amazing! For me, bringing the very real, human realities of conflict into these stories adds substance and very relatable emotions to what once was just a good guy vs bad guy story for the most part. Not bagging on the stories because I have zero complaints about any of them. But to add stories such as this to them is exactly what they need. You deserve respect and acknowledgment for this piece and I really hope to see more. This was over the top! Thank you!
Absolutely awesome! This was such a magnitude better than anything Disney has offered up! Once again, the fans do Star Wars better than those who bought it! ❤
I’m really glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
Wow that was brilliant, I dont normally comment In this case though I must say. That was amazing, I love Star wars but this was on another level. I felt real empathy and remorse for troper TB-138 and got so sucked into both the character's greatest of respect and appreciation to this films cast crew and creators, The force is strong with them all. 🤗
Just discovered this 5 months late. What an amazing fan film. George Lucas needs to find a note pad man. What an amazing side to a story we never knew we wanted. Congratulations!
What a fantastic film! Well done, heart-warming, full of emotion. Worth every minute! What a fitting follow-up to Episode VI.
thank you very much, absolutely incredible work. from writing to execution - great!
Wow. Now *_that_* was damn good. First time I have ever been terrified by Ewoks. And realized just how terrible they were really. Thank you so much, just wonderful. And ten times better than Disney.
Wtf was this?
This was freaking AMAZING!
I literally almost cried!
Also I've never been more afraid of those pesky ewoks! What a scene!
Also the camerawork in general! The location!!
The dream sequences! Beautiful!
Also the whole thing just kept dragging me in.
Went by with a snap of a finger!
How does this not have millions of views!?
What a story!
10/10 (maybe the ending was little overdramatic)
But wow!
Thank you so much!
I did not expect this! Wow!
I'm absolutely stunned!
This must've been quite the project!!
I can't even imagine!
But what an outstanding result!
This is so good...these fan films are so much better than Disney.
Beautifully shot! I love the time period we’re dealing with here. It’s very rarely been explored in the new canon!
Thank you! Our Director of Photography, Isaac, did an incredible job. It's such a fascinating time to explore with all of the turmoil and change. So many stories could be told here.
Wow, blew me away. What an amazing story !! Well written and acted. You actually cared for these warriors and it hits you right in the feels. Loved this ! Well done.
Wow!! This is amazing!
Tip of the hat.
This is by far the best Starwars content I've seen in a long time.
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you for this. A very well written, acted, directed and shot film!!! Emotive, paced, true to lore. Top marks!
Really, really well done. I don't know what I was expecting but this blew me away. Great job to everyone involved in this.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it
I like how this doesn't glorify war. It's just a story of guys from both sides "doing their duty" and seeing the reality of it. Locations, costumes, acting. Top notch stuff!
I saw that the movie started off with a scene from the real film, and was waiting to see the shift in quality when it cut to the fanfilm part, and my jaw absolutely dropped when it stayed equally good. The actors did an amazing job, and the music and camera angles look like the actual films 👍👍👍
Thank you so much!
Outstanding. I was riveted by these 29 mins. I wish it was a 2 hour film. Hats off to anyone who had anything to do with this. Congrats.
This was wonderful. Thank you for making it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you :)
It is so breathtaking, and the last scene made me cry. Honestly, it is the best fan film I ever seen, so emotional and well made! Guys, you did great!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely amazing. Hats off to you. Thanks for bringing such a great Star Wars story to life for us
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, that was amazing. Great job on the music, using just enough of familiar themes to make them recognizable, but not so close as to infringe on Mr. Williams' scores. Great job all around. A sincere thank you!
I thought so too. Although the very end of the piece there's like a 5-note sw motif and either they're allowed to do that by law or they got permission either way they still gave credit to John Williams
That thumbnail is 🔥 The lighting for each shot is 🔥 This fan film is 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much
That was truly amazing! I genuinely had a lump in my throat at the end. Well done!
Loved it... well shot, great script and turns the tables on the whole good vs eveeeel story.
Thank you! We wanted to explore more of good and eveeeel in Star Wars and how each side saw themselves.
Simply amazing! If anyone would have told me, this is an official production, I would believe him!👍
PLEASE Give these master minds a shot at the big screen.❤🎉😢
Thank you! That would be the dream :)
That was a beautifully made film. Hands down the best I’ve seen. Everything was perfect.
loved this whole series! Criminally underrated
Thank you! So glad you liked it
Absolutely top notch. On a par with The Mandalorian
Wow.... Its just great! Thank You very much! The editing, camera music are professional. Story and acting are very good, I feel closer to these two guys than to anyone in the new trilogy. Pls go on!
Thank you so much
This was really enjoyable. Great production quality and story. I can not wait for more! Great work!
Story, acting, composition, all grade A+! And all in less than 30 minutes?!? Bravo! Encore!
Thank you so much!
I really like this series of fan films because of how much more realistic it can portrays things.
Not all the Imperials are evil, and not all the rebels are actual good guys, and stuff like that.
Good job you guys. I hope to see more from you guys in the future.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed these ideas. I was always excited to explore that aspect of Star Wars. War is awful and everyone thinks they’re the good guys
@@AfterEndor
Oh yeah, I mostly agree with you there.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with a good old good vs evil story, but little bit of nuance can make a story so much better, especially as we get older and all. But you know what I mean.
@@AfterEndor There was a movie I saw about the Civil War (USA). The main character asked a Priest what he thought about it, and the Priest replied, "Sometimes I wonder if God gets tired of being called down by both sides?"
Disney TRIES to do this with the characters in its series but short of Andor cant seem to get it right in how the characters are written and portrayed imo
What a wonderful story. Loved it .
Thank you! 🙂
