- Chapter 31 of Heir to the Empire, by Timothy Zahn. Adapted into a short fanfilm.
--
Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian arrive at Sluis Van for a much needed break. Instead, they walk into Grand Admiral Thrawn's massive assault on the shipyards. The Millenium Falcon and Rogue Squadron are all that stand between the defenseless New Republic ships and the approaching Imperial fleet.

Star Wars: Heir to the Empire
The Rebel Alliance has destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and driven the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the galaxy.
Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting Jedi twins. And Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi Knights.
But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor's warlords has taken command of the shattered Imperial fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the New Republic....

We come to it at last, The Battle of Sluis Van!
Releasing just in time for my birthday, this is the biggest chapter in the entire book and it took a lot of work to pull it all off. Can't wait for you all to see it!
Spread the word and see you on Thursday!
CHAPTER 32
Thank you for this
Congratulations on the details, even the emotions on their faces
Happy birthday!!! Thank you so much for all the work you have done for this series!
Happy birthday🥳🎂 this looks great
One more chapter and we'll finally have Star Wars Episode 7!
Yeah, this was the best episode by far, you’ve done yourself with the animation quality. Really hope you’ll do an Nvidia Omniverse remaster for chapters 1-17, and a full 2 part movie release in 4K :)
Real Star Wars! Real Star Wars!
The Truce At Bakura? ;)
The space troopers clearing that bridge was a fantastic scene
"Captain, you must unlearn what you have learned from your time under the Emperor. Brutal wastes of lives and materials in arrogant displays rarely produce lasting victories."
"But execute a man for making a mistake through no fault of his own."
@@ladylolth3057 Are you referring to the underling that denied having had the training that he really did have, and trying to throw his immediate superior under the bus?
@@davepowder4020 Yes, an ensign I think.
Seeing this is just understanding what we lost with Disney at the helm. I’m so incredibly grateful watching these when they come out.
Heir to The Empire mixed in with Squadrons, TIE Fighter, and X-Wing Alliance. This is the best cinema battle I've seen in a long time. Finally a space battle worthy as the originals. Thank you.
I like how you showed the invasion of a cruiser's bridge. Seeing it makes it more impactful
Agree the scene when the storm troopers dropped in was like a real movie
What you've done here, just a fan and not a major company like Disney, is incredible.
Finally, real star wars!
Facts.
They will never take it from us for we are the fans and it lives in our hearts! It exists because we exist and love it
Nice seeing Wedge, Corran, Whistler and Gate
This battle is why I found your channel I wanted to see it in action so bad and knew somebody had to have at least a slide show/ diagram of it. No one did but this is much better. Your work is a dream come true for me thank you much my man
I hope it doesn't disapoint! :)
@DarthAngelus if your past work is any indication I like the odds
We've waited so long ❤
Same
Powerful last image with the floating helmet! MAN, you have outdone yourself! I didn't like waiting, but this was definitely top notch! Great job!
An epic space battle combined with reasonable tactics from both sides. Most impressive work for this penultimate chapter.
I look forward to the finale.
"You were expecting an all out attack to cover our defeat..." Well, that's how the Empire rolls Thrawn.
Not anymore captain
The battle of Sluis Van was awesome to watch. The New Republic won but it was a pyrrhic victory. So much starfighter and capital ships lost or damage trying to defend the shipyard that is hard to replace.
Nice touch giving Corran (Rogue 9) a green X-Wing! Only a deep Legends fan would notice!
That X-Wing first appeared in Chapter 11, I've been planning on him being in this battle ever since :)
Bssed AF
All the Rogue Squadron X-Wings still have their custom paint jobs. It's some great attention to detail that really helps to set this series apart. There are many examples like it all over this fan film.
@@AC_WILDCARD I'm not sure which language that is-can you translate to English? Thanks
Your portrayal of the Battle of Sluis Van is an absolutely remarkable achievement. Re-reading this part of the “Heir To The Empire” book will now be an even greater joy, with it now accompanied by this incredible visualization of it in my mind.
Showing the internal battles inside the ships that Thrawn’s forces were attempting to steal, something not in the book at all… wow.
I cannot thank you enough for your fantastic work!
You did this battle justice my friend. And its incredible, but your use of music was perfection and helped sell this most of all
Yes! It’s here! The GOAT has returned!
Bro was cooking!
I was indeed!
Damn that was awesome. Loved seeing Rogue Squadron in action, especially Corran.
I honestly thought you either got bored with the project or had an untimely end. Good to see you are still doing this!
Chapters like this require a huge amount of time and work.
@@DarthAngelusthe work paid off. This is masterful.
@@DarthAngelus Dark Force Raising!
This was a delight. I look forward to the Final Chapter. Afterward you leave us in Greater suspense of waiting Dark Force Rising chapter 1. I hope your channel grows large enough to make it easier for you to make these videos at whatever your preferred speed would be.
Thank you so much my man. This is really going to be worth waiting for. Can't wait for chapter 32 and then we'll have the whole adaptation complete.
OMG so excited. First, some backstory: I read the Narnia books to my children when they were younger, and managed to get through reading them the Fellowship of the Ring book before succumbing to the pressure to show them the Peter Jackson films. My reading to them was all over after that; we never went back to read The Two Towers or Return of the King.
One evening, after being vaguely disappointed at the portrayal of Thrawn in Rebels, I tried once more, insisting the family sit down while I read the first chapter of Heir to the Empire. Perhaps it wasn't the right timing, or they weren't in the right mood, but it didn't go over well. I think it was that they'd already seen the various Star Wars films and series on-screen, so listening to a book didn't capture their attention.
And so, I've been waiting... for THIS. I can finally SHOW them the masterpiece. 🤩
Your kids are in for a four hour epic when you show them all the whole thing :)
@@DarthAngelus That's okay! We recently rewatched the LOTR extended trilogy, and it was fine! ;)
@sandwiched when they watch it, tell us if they liked Heir to the Empire though, at least if they watch everything but will handle waiting for the last chapter
@@DarthAngelus I have a question too. Are you going to take on the Last Command as well. I understand it might get boring and it could actually be a decade-long thing to do, but in case you are going for it, you have my support at bringing the true sequel trilogy to life.
The audiobooks of The Lord of the Rings series with Andy Serkis narrarating are awesome!
I'm seeing the most terrifying thing ever: Stormtroopers firing accurately!
The coolest part about this imo is comparing what I always saw in my minds eye while reading to what you guys have put “on screen”. Sometimes it’s uncanny how similar it is , others it’s a vastly different interpretation. Either way, it’s always awesome.
It's always exciting for me to hear how I get things very similar to the way others imagined them. And what's different. Part of the fun of making this series :)
@@DarthAngelus it’s part of the indescribable magic of this adaptation.
I bring it up because the reveal of the cloaked freighter in my mind was always different … but watching this I’m not like “no! That’s wrong” I’m more like “heck yes , that works”.
On the other hand, the design of Carde’s HQ on Merker was almost exactly how I envisioned it, almost as if I was involved in its creation. Just really hard to pinpoint the words to describe what this means to us all. Thanks for all your hard work.
I had the same reaction to seeing Wayland for the first time. It's like the novel has just jumped off the page and onto my screen.
Truly epic! Some fantastic shots. Loved the B-wings disabling the Corvette.
This was some of the best SW I've seen in a very long time. And no wonder. Disney SW could only dream of making anything even remotely close to this. I had goosebumps throughout the entire thing.
I remember reading this as a 15 year old before Disney. Seeing this battle brought to life is so satisfying
Oh, boy...Hold on to your... sits!😅
Love it! Best one yet. Great video. Timothy Zahn did so much better than what Disney did.
Wow. This is amazing. This is everything that Disney should have done.
Woo hoo!! Awesome! I had almost given up hope, and was beginning to think this project was shelved. So glad it's back in action!
This is unfanthomably GREAT!!!! Thank you for sharing. I can't even imagine how much work you put into this, but know that a great lot of people appreciate this. Thank you again
You are definitly better a directing than what Disney comes up with
Strong episode. A lot of work. Noticeable. I'm impressed that you kept all those voice actors after all these years.
This is so well done... congratulations 🎊 this is LOADS BETTER than anything Disney has had done, tjays not even close... this is proper STARWARS 👌
I just love Thrawn's attitude.
This is what we should've had in the theaters, not the crap Misney gave us. Kudos to you.
👏👏👏👏 Bravo! Bravo! Excellent work on this vid! Your hard work continues to exceed expectations with every episode released. Thank you for your work and for sharing it with us all!
9:26 B-Wing pilot: "I'm hit!"
Elfo (from Disenchanted): "Hi, Hit. I'm Elfo!"
Absolutely incredible. The quality has come so far since the beginning.
Know that you have audience all around the world. From Spain, I'm telling you, this chapter was brilliant!
Dark Troopers, Hell Yeah!
I stumbled upon this Series a while back and couldn‘t believe my eyes! Great job! Can’t wait to see the next one! And Happy Birthday!
This is a very good chapter. I hope to see more. We can see a full episode 7 with all the chapters condensed to one
Now THAT'S Star Wars! Well worth the wait.
Fantastic work. You're bringing to life the real Star Wars books as films as Disney never could!
You've absolutely outdone yourself with this one, amazing!
That was amazing! Edge-of-your-seat excitement! Very well done! And, Happy Birthday!
This is your best work yet. Great job. Looking forward to the last chapter.
Fantastic! You just keep getting better. Can't wait to watch the whole finished compilation so I can finally say I saw the Star Wars 7 we should have gotten!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😁😁😁
Bravo! This was incredible! Some really great work and something I've wanted to see for decades. Some really cool little touches in there, too. I liked that quick shot of the x-wing pilot looking back over his shoulder especially. E/ touching tribute to James, too. Thank you.
Can't wait! Seriously -- I'm grateful, bro. It's (perhaps too) important to me to see good Star Wars in any medium, especially when the mouse corporation seems to have sworn a blood oath to destroy the franchise. Thanks for doing this.
hear hear
3:40 B-WINGS!!!! FREAKING B-WINGS. THANK YOU
This was every bit what I'd been looking forward to. You made my birthday a great one, as well. Thanks for this.
Woo hoo! Very well done! So happy to see these stories brought to life.
So great to see you nearing the finish line! Have you decided on doing the next 2 books? That’s quite a huge commitment lol
"I'm gonna come" -The Don
Simply amazing. Thanks so much for making this!
Thanks for sharing, that was awesome!!!
This is actually movie quality. Amazing work man.
Superb as always. I love this series. Thank you so much ❤
You really did this battle justice. Great job as always!
As always brilliant work. Love your working bring the true sequel trilogy to the screen.
I've got a b̶a̶d̶ good feeling about this...
Been waiting for this battle for a long time.
I never thought I'd get this far when I first started but here we go :)
@@DarthAngelus Glad you did continue to the end of Book 1.
2:39 “It’s a trap!”
Been waiting for this chapter since the start of your series adaptation. Definitely didn't disappoint. It was almost exactly how I imagined it in my head when I read the book. I loved those small scenes of the Stormtroopers boarding the ships, it was really well done
Standing ovation for the author, please!!!
@DarthAngelus I know you've already done far more than you initially planned -- but boy, would we all appreciate it if you managed to finish the trilogy! Regardless, thank you for what you've already given the fans. It's a cool glass of water in a growing desert of "star wars" content as soulless as Darth Kennedy herself.
Awesome...the animation keeps getting better
This was AWESOME and absolutely well worth the wait! And happy birthday!
Thankyou! :D
Wow, a lot of work went into this
Again, the dialogue for Tie Squad 4 to keep after the B-Wing group is from the book, but seeing them actually ion cannoning a ship shows why Pelleon singled them out. If they disable the ships, the Imps can't steal 'em!
That was the idea :)
All those ships from the old X-Wing games. I love it. :D
This was insane! Thank you for the watch!
Beautiful! Wonderfully done!
Excellent as always Darth Angelus
I only have one gripe. Captain Afyon’s rank badge should have four pips denoting a navy captain. But the showcase of the different division colors on the StarCom fighters is CHEFS KISS!! And Corran’s X-wing should have red trim on his green stripes. Good job!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
When a single fan can make a better space battle scene, then a whole company :d Wd!
I think James Earl Jones said it best: "Impressive. Most Impressive."
To Darth Angelus. Thank you for bringing this to the TH-cam channel . This is excellent. It bought back memories from reading all three of Timothy Zahn's StarWars novels. Very good work on the visuals and some of the music from Return of The Jedi. 🥹👍👍👍 this is the real StarWars. And Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳
love thrawns portrayed pragmatism here. nice work as usual DA
How he did not predict and counter this is beyond me
Fabulous - really enjoyed it! Well done!🎉❤
@DarthAngelus, I am very pleased, to see this, and looking forward to hopefully part two and three .
Fantastic episode, l applaud your efforts to this chapter.
Great job sir! Your best work yet!
Bravo! This was the most entertaining and best animated chapter yet!
Epic! Well done :)
Thankyou! :D
This turned out absolutely great!!!
Well done and thank you!
Always love your work! Great job Darth!
Thankyou for being part of it! :)
Exciting ! :)
Soon! :D
Wilhelm scream 3:54
It wouldn't be star wars without that.
Come and get it, rebel scum!!! Long live the empire!!
And congratulations on your birthday Darth, this is truly a nice present for us.
Thankyou! It's a present to me to be able to share this!
impressive almost like old star wars games cutscenes quality.
Once again, DarthAngelus spoils us! We are not worthy! Lol
It was nice to see cameos from Corran Horn, Inyiri Forge and Gavin Darklighter from the X-wing series.
