I feel the bad batch was originally supposed to be a commando squad but due to the genetic mutations they were seen as unfit for commando units but had use in the li ne
The atmosphere in this is absolutely incredible. Love how you captured quite how lethal Sev and the commandos are on their own, even when I’m not around.
Bet that was Scorch finishing off the SBD. Sev: "What took you so long, Deltas?" Scorch: "Oh, we took the touristic route, is all. Nice to see you're still in tact." Sev: "Just like your sense of humour. Still in tact." Scorch: "Always, Sev, always." Fixer: "Can you cut the chatter, you two?"
2:43 In Delta Squad: A Star Wars Story Live Action Movie from Comic Books, Republic Commando Video Game, CW Adventures 2003, TCW’s Unfinished Episodes and Chapter Book Memoirs about how Quinlan Vos, Draa, Nemec and Fireball rescued Sev when Order 66 began with Sev reunited with Boss, Fixer and Gregor to face of Scorch’s Imperial Clone Commando Squad
Dude, the feeling of the whole squad arriving after that long, dark, tense sequence...I would love if Bad Batch or a Republic Commando remake or Imperial Commando game or SOMETHING could make that happen officially. Imagine seeing them reunite after so long.
I accept this as canon. This is the way. Super Battle Droids were freakin' menacing in this damn game. Taking them down alone was nerve racking. Awesome video short!
Had the pleasure of watching Shadows of the Republic about ten times on repeat. Really amazing work from everyone on the project. Some of the best storytelling and action I’ve seen in Star Wars and by far my favourite fan film yet.
The sheer amount of effort put into this is absolutely incredible... The atmosphere, sound, graphics, and animation are all 100%. This literally looks like a modern day teaser for Republic Commando
that was absolutely epic, very nice use of ingame assets like the animations, literally the only thing that aint sittin well with me is how delta squad dont have their proper gear captured the dark gritty and unsettling atmosphere of republic commando perfectly
Honestly I realised pretty late into the project that I had forgotten to add Sev's gear. I even had the rig with it all set up, but ended up using the wrong file I think. So I rolled with it and take it to mean they've had it taken from them at some point.
We need this for the sequel. Maaan why they never made the sequel? This game was and still is a masterpiece and is looking very good considering how old is it.
This is actually my dream I hoping to learn Unreal in a few months and then I want to build a fan film on RC. I've been search for a while and couldn't figure out why the SW community doesn't have alot of Fan made Animated Projects. I mean they have plenty of live action stuff but what I really wanna see is stuff to the degree of like the Warhammer Community's content.
There are times when the youtube algorithm doesn't let us see good content....and then are time where it lets us see gems like these. Thank you for sharing this with us and I eagerly look forward to more.
The super battle droids have always been terrifying in Republic commando. Not just because they'll destroy you, but also because the sounds they make are just really unsettling
More. I NEED MORE!!!!!!! You captured it perfectly even how you brought the sbd back just like the game, the voices, the sound effects. My only problem is that it's too short, an hour of this might suffice
Oh my this is brilliant. I love the first person perspective and how tight all the angles are. Just adds so much to the narrative! Amazing job! Well done. More please! :)
Those super battle droids were tough as nails and took a lot more of a beating than the shows or movies gave them credit for. The magna guards made you shit bricks in the game.
One man army! Always had to soft spot for commandos, sure, separatists robots are amazing (especially commandos, droideka and ma boy B2, seriously, one of the best designs), but something about clone commandos just screams cool and amazing, love the game!
This is freakin amazing! As soon as I saw the super battle droid I froze up and had a small panic attack, anyone who has not played republic commandos does not know the true terror a super battle droid can be when your all alone on the battle field. This is just too good, I got goose bumps when the rest of domino team came rushing in and boss stared talking and scorch standing over the dead droid like a Ruskin raider
I love how it was inspired more by the game than the clone wars and the movies. I like how you kept those super ugly battledroids in lol. And that ending was beautiful
I forget which book series it was, but it a commando squad in clone wars. From the very start all the way into the empire. It was epic. A fond memory from my childhood
You managed to capture a feel for the games alone segments perfectly, no you managed to capture the feel of the game itself perfectly, this was fantastic and it makes me wish Delta Squad and other commandos were utilized more in Star wars so we could see more amazing things like this, it's a shame I can't like this more than once, this deserves so much more attention
I just had a severe PTSD attack after watching this Clearing countless Super Battle Droids in the Droid Control Ship on hard difficulty ...and the Geonosian Elites... I honestly don't know-how I made it out alive
after the battle of geonosis, my ithorian jedi master i served under told me a story, about how he tried to save another clone trooper unit but failed to do it, he told me he would never forgive himself. i am still thinking to that day. i am still wondering how i survived the war.
Oh man I love that. You completely captured the atmosphere of that game. When the door opens, and behind it appeared the SBD, I legit said "oh shit" as if I were playing the game again. And when I saw it fall forward, I was like "Check for it, it's gonna break its bottom part and follow you". I felt like ten years ago when I was playing RC and really scared of being *alone* in the Acclamator missions. Amazing job!
This is awful... just terrible.... Because you don't have a patreon!!! We need to support you for this right away! Love to see more! ;D That was genuinely creepy, gritty, and atmospheric. A perfect recapture of Republic Commando, and better than any other fan film of it I've seen before. :O
Yeah so many SW fan films are junk tbh and it doesn't help the cringe to call it a "fan" film other to get some obligatory clapping for their "passion". I did enjoy SOTP and Last Stand tho which were brilliantly scripted and executed and of good quality and right on par with this *cough* *barf* "fan" film.
Very nice, thanks so much for this! I love the Terminator vibes on the injured SBD coming after him. That was one of my favorite parts about the game atmosphere; it actually made the SBDs a little scary. Regular battle droids we really just cannon fodder but if an SBD showed up, you needed heavy ordinance 'cause you were almost fighting a tank! And the RCs need as much love as possible; since Delta is in canon, maybe if we show enough love we can get more of Traviss' RC work built back into the story... Ori Kandosii!
Dude. Now if we could get an animated series like this. Bad Batch quality, but Republic Commando Delta Squad. Just detailing some of the behind the scenes operations they conducted. Now, THAT would be an awesome show. Hell, make it even carry on past Order 66. Maybe show how the Commandos decided to shield some Jedi from the Emperor. I would definitely watch that.
I did notice some very small details. While they are NOT "movie mistakes", they COULD be misunderstood as such, and might be the reason why this incredibly cool short film has dislikes. I'll try to explain, for anyone who might think that: • Delta Squad lack their additional equipment - the ammo packs on Sev, the radio antenna on Fixer's backpack, the shell containers on Scorch's backpack (2:46), etc. Clone commando armor is modular and those ARE attachments - they are removable. Maybe, for whatever reason, Delta Squad did not put this extra gear on for this mission. • The door charge Sev puts on the door just short-circuits the lock and causes it to open, while in-game, it explodes. Notice how he activates it (1:08) - there are three buttons on it. He pushes the center one, then the two on top, then he takes cover. If you play the game (or watch a walkthrough video), you'll notice Boss pushes the center button, then the two top buttons, THEN the center button again. It does a different thing because of a different activation sequence. The explanation is very simple - these charges must have multiple functions. They can blow locks up OR they can short-circuit equipment, depending on how they're activated. Thus, Sev was just using it in a way we/Boss never see it used in-game, nor is there an option to, but the device itself does have a short-circuit function, should the operator need it. • The Super Battle Droid fires a straight ( - ) plasma bolt (1:19). In-game, the projectile seems to have a solid core, and the plasma that surrounds it is shaped like a spear ( -> ). This is actually very simple - SBDs can use different types of ammo. • Sev's blaster when he switches it to sniper mode doesn't have any sights (1:37). The weapon's hologram-like scope must have an option to be turned on and off - kind of like flashlight/laser modules that are activated by pressure switches attached to the grip, on real-life handguns. There's no need for sights at this close range, and besides, Sev must be an excellent point shooter. • Sev fires twice (1:44 and 1:50) and swaps the magazine after each shot, even though the weapon is semi-automatic with a 5-round magazine. It's not bolt-action or single-shot. To be honest, this one did make me scratch my head. But considering how he downed that SBD in two shots, these magazines must be...1-rounders, but with a more powerful plasma charge. 1 shot, 1 mag, you reload after each shot, but it does more damage. While we do not see such ammunition in-game, this in no way means that it does not exist in the Star Wars universe at all. It makes perfect sense that the DC-17m ICWS (InterChangeable Weapon System) would have not just different attachments, but also different ammunition types for each mode. Hell, even real-life sniper rifles do - Full Metal Jacket, Raufoss, etc. I really love the "sweet mid-2000s authenticity" - using assets from the game itself. The ambiance is also incredible - the only soundtrack in this is the music that plays when the rest of Delta Squad show up. Before that, it's just mechanical noises of...what I assume is the ship (?) Sev and the others are in. There isn't any music to cue the mood, yet the sounds of the environment function as such, in eerie silence. It's amazing. It almost reminds me of my bittersweet disappointment when I played the game for the first time. They really could've done so much more to make the Assault Ship portion of the game more...scary. I know it's not a jump scare-ridden horror game, but come on - the first level at the ship gave me goosebumps, and then...I felt a little underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, the missions at the Prosecutor were good, but a tad short on unease. By the time you rejoin your squad - the tone is almost entirely switched to action, not creepy suspense, with very brief moments of that - such as when Delta Squad end up at a dump site, surrounded by clone trooper corpses. This short film really makes me feel some of that wasted potential these missions had. Bravo!
Might have already needed to reload the sniper attachment too, he just had only one round left when he swapped. If he's one of those degenerates who doesn't reload every six seconds...
@@cruallassar7428 I thought about that, too. You can clearly see he reloads after the first shot. If we imagine that the mag had only one round left, after he reloads, he would have a full mag of five rounds. Then he fires a second shot, drops the SBD on the floor, then he reloads AGAIN (you can see the barrel swaying at 1:51), which would mean that he is reloading a mag that has four rounds left. Why would he do that? In video games, players tend to reload often like that, because they want their mags to be at full capacity at all times. In real life, if you do that, you'll have a bunch of loose, semi-empty mags. It's an "ammo pool" mechanic in video games that eases the player by not making stuff too realistic, too complex. Except, this is not real life - this is a Sci-Fi universe. Maybe the clone commando backpacks and ammo packs where mags are stored can "redistribute" plasma between mags, by keeping loose mags full and not semi-empty. Kinda like electricity in batteries. Instead of having...say, 4 mags that aren't full, with 15 rounds total, the equipment redistributes the plasma so that each mag is charged to full capacity (five rounds), and you have 3 full mags with 5 rounds each. It's a theory, but I think it's a lot cooler and makes more sense than just saying "we're going by video game mechanic rules because this is based on a video game"
Sooo youtube waited this long to recommand me this, replayed this game so many times it's just natural to watch.For a second there i tought it's Sevs escape from the droids that got him. If this was the promo for the clone wars Republic Commandos I'd be hyped as hell. GOODJOB mate.

Okay this needs to go viral. The best I’ve see. Captures the real grit and tone and makes the droid army menacing

By the time you rejoin your squad - the tone is almost entirely switched to action, not creepy suspense, with very brief moments of that - such as when Delta Squad end up at a dump site, surrounded by clone trooper corpses. This short film really makes me feel some of that wasted potential these missions had. Bravo!
Might have already needed to reload the sniper attachment too, he just had only one round left when he swapped. If he's one of those degenerates who doesn't reload every six seconds...
@@cruallassar7428 I thought about that, too. You can clearly see he reloads after the first shot. If we imagine that the mag had only one round left, after he reloads, he would have a full mag of five rounds. Then he fires a second shot, drops the SBD on the floor, then he reloads AGAIN (you can see the barrel swaying at 1:51), which would mean that he is reloading a mag that has four rounds left. Why would he do that? In video games, players tend to reload often like that, because they want their mags to be at full capacity at all times. In real life, if you do that, you'll have a bunch of loose, semi-empty mags. It's an "ammo pool" mechanic in video games that eases the player by not making stuff too realistic, too complex. Except, this is not real life - this is a Sci-Fi universe. Maybe the clone commando backpacks and ammo packs where mags are stored can "redistribute" plasma between mags, by keeping loose mags full and not semi-empty. Kinda like electricity in batteries. Instead of having...say, 4 mags that aren't full, with 15 rounds total, the equipment redistributes the plasma so that each mag is charged to full capacity (five rounds), and you have 3 full mags with 5 rounds each. It's a theory, but I think it's a lot cooler and makes more sense than just saying "we're going by video game mechanic rules because this is based on a video game"
@@petervitkov361 Fair enough. I didn't notice the second reload, so I'd concur.
This is amazing , im definitely gonna watch this again on my tv with the speakers booomin.
Sooo youtube waited this long to recommand me this, replayed this game so many times it's just natural to watch.For a second there i tought it's Sevs escape from the droids that got him. If this was the promo for the clone wars Republic Commandos I'd be hyped as hell. GOODJOB mate.
