The Rebel Pilot then went on to have a very successful career with the empire; reaching the rank of captain before retiring with 20 years of service, and full benefits.
+a3grimreaper Your idea of a story ending works, but I would like to think that the Rebel pilot would hang out and fake it until he could sneak away back to the Rebellion. Maybe even it his tech skills were up to it, he would also do a little spying first and then escape back to the Rebellion.
Thank you everyone for the great feedback; you all are amazing! For those who have been wondering; Rebel Scum was filmed on location in -30C degree weather at Columbia Icefield (Athabasca Glacier) in Canada. We have some behind the scenes info on our website.
+Blood Brother Cinema Co. Appreciate the effort, but i must say : this film suck. I mean, you guys took a whole year to make this ? standing around and not even a single dialogue ? This film is truly a disappointment ...
I really prefer this type of fan films - focusing on pilots, stormtropers, soldiers - not Jedi. And also showing that not all imperials are evil and not all rebels are good.
@@AlexRazorGame Fair enough. What was she doing there btw. There seemed to be no context to her sitting there in what looked like an injured state. Not hating on the film btw! Loved it. Just got these questions.
@@AlexRazorGame It still doesn't change the fact that the empire destroy worlds while the rebels are trying to stop that from happening. If you think that fighting for a side that took out planets and enslave people are innocent or in the grey then you have a twisted moral compass. Obviously there are bad and goods on both sides..but lets not play around and acknowledge that the amount of corruption and evil is equal between both factions. The best example here is what we're living through right now. Ours truly Trump saying that both sides have good people..sure..one side likes to threaten people by carrying arms and bring shields and clubs-carrying fire torches and driving a car into a crowd of pepole-how about the other side? They are only a reaction to that lot.
God I love the sense of abandonment. This guy would've been just one of many soldiers and pilots left behind on Hoth after the retreat, their cries for aid sent into the air with no friendly souls to hear them.
in all honesty many of the soldiers that fought on hoth knew that if they didnt make it, they were on their own. they accepted it, knowing that it meant certain death. many rebels died in such situations knowing that they fought for the freedom of the galaxy. they bought their comrades the time to escape knowing that their sacrifice meant the rebellion lived on. there were plenty of instances of this throughout the galactic civil war (rebellion era).
Sir Dickenstein. I wouldn't assume he gave up on the rebels. He probably just hitched a ride with the Empire and sped off to either retire or go back to the rebels. As soon as they need him to take his helmet off he's screwed, he's not going to stick around
Did you guys actually shoot at the Columbia Icefield, or were those all background plates? Pretty cool to see my old workplace from 15hrs who feature here :-)
You really did good on capturing the ''original trilogy'' look. In my opinion this is one of the well accurate fan film of the Star Wars Saga I have seen so far.
"Hey, there's our missing trooper! So...how did you survive that blast to your chest?" "Huh? Oh, this dirty spot here? Oh mate, it's this white armour ya know, it gets dirty so easily!"
+Mr Sunday Movies You know it's good if Mr Sunday Movies likes it. Get ready for that Weekly Planet bump. But seriously this is a rare Fan Film that does a great all around job, I really enjoyed every aspect of it.
Bonus points for using Holst's The Planets suite. Timestamps: 6:30 Mars, Bringer of War 2:37 Venus, Bringer of Peace (Mercury, The Winged Messenger and Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity are not featured) 1:163:07 Saturn, Bringer of Old Age 0:30 Uranus, The Magician 0:153:35 Neptune, The Mystic
I loved the little detail of NOT having to go somewhere for the fact that they where man and woman. I thought they where going to bond or whatever but nothing happened. Just a rebell and an imperial. Just that. Thank you!
How did he take her armor out ? Wounded solider is still a solider, she would fight back, not to mention that if he took out his uniform on Hoth he would almost instantly get hypotermia
They could have went somewhere. A nice cantina at the galaxy's edge maybe. He could have ordered some warm blue milk for her and a fuzzy tauntaun for himself. He could have taken care of her, just like a woman needs.
If filming techniques and equipment were the problem with "Di$ney War$", that wouldn't be a big deal *_BUT,_* they aren't. The main issue is that they don't *_UNDERSTAND_* Star Wars on a basic fundamental level. Pile on the fact that they have less than *_ZERO_* respect for or interest in *_ALL_* the previously established material they didn't create? That leaves you with problems that *_FAR_* exceed and dwarf any filming techniques and equipment...
Ranting aside, Disney did a fine job with the terrain and scenery on Scarif. And they didn't do too badly with Jakku, Takodana, Ahch-To, etc, even though these were derivatives of original Star Wars environments. Disney's failings were on the characters and the narratives, not the settings.
Blood Brother Cinema Co. it's more of a joke than anything else still love the film but this kind of reminds me of a question. Obi-Wan knew that the Stormtroopers were once good shots the only question is were they still clone troopers back then? If so then it makes me wonder if the other storm troopers were really only legendary because of legends the clones set.
+Vasun05 While storm troopers are not even nearly as elite as clone troopers they're still supposed to be excellent marksmen, for example in a new hope the rebels on the Tantive IV defended a bottleneck and the storm troopers easily overwhelmed them and only suffered 2 casualties if I remember correctly. The only reason why they didn't repeat later in the movie was because they had orders to let the Millennium Falcon escape. And in Return of the Jedi they kinda had to portray them as completely incapable imbeciles or else the story wouldn't have worked.
HOLY CRAP ITS LINDY RANDOMLY COMMENTING ON A STAR WARS FAN FILM. lol i did not expect to see you here and to think i was watching one of your vids just 15 minutes ago.
I like the classic techniques used to make this film, the camera wipes, the backgrounds, the music, and even the stop motion. It all feels and looks so great !
Best quality fan film ever done for Star Wars-- AND NOT A SINGLE LIGHTSABER!!! THIS NEEDS A SEQUEL ASAP!!!!!! Amazing work! Amazing costumes! and visually the usage of practical effects was worth the added effort. Storywise, at first I felt the storm trooper randomly being alone was a little forced. But the moment she took off her helmet, I got a deep feeling of sympathy for two people who didn't want to be the warriors they had signed up to be. That alone is worth more than story detail. The moment the film ended I was ready for part II. Just take my money and go!
+Elias Noel I know right? There are stories in the SW Universe that can be told through the eyes of the grunts/pilots. everybody wants to be a Jedi/Sith and all I want to be is a star fighter pilot. but I know this is between a pilot and a ground infantry trooper.
+Timber Wolf -- Did you ever get around to it? I have an idea for a Jedi and a Sith playing chess but I can't figure out how to build a rigged magnetic chessboard. I don't want to use GCI because I want to use actual pieces and I don't want to reset the board every 2 minutes of film.
This is probably one of the best SW fan films iv'e seen overall. The others tend to try to get really flashy with their story or with the fight scenes; but in the end it really doesn't feel like SW. This one told a simple story that felt like it can be apart of the SW universe, great acting, great costumes and great visuals. Terrific work!!!
The camera work, the music, the visual grain, the color palette, the stop motion, the setting, the story... this is the closest thing I've seen to the original trilogy since the original trilogy.
Each second of movie has 30 frames. Animators had to work on simultaneously several movements in each frame. Each second of the probe drone or AT-AT movement requires at least 2 hours of stop motion work. Basically 2 guys work meticulously the whole evening for 1 second of movie content. It is not counting the time of set up, editing, and deleted scenes. Now watch the video again , calculate the time of stop motion (I counted at least 50 second, that is 1500 frames) and appreciate the artists labor of love. then go to click like and share.
happygoluckyscamp - They might still “make it”, but “they” are not the LucasArts that created SW. George isn’t there and there are now the Disney bosses to please. The name is the same, the product is... lacking. Shorts like this and The Lost Pilot feel more SW then any of the Disney movies
Lightsabers are great when they are saved for special moments, not used all the time. This goes for pretty much everything in film that you want to maintain it's charm. You don't overdo it. In Empire Strikes back, Luke only uses it for about 5 seconds when he defends himself from being eaten, a second time for about 5 seconds when he slices open the AT-AT and then maybe 60 seconds tops when he ventures into the cave with the vision of Vader. Essentially, they save the lightsaber for the good shit at the end... Vader and Luke's duel, which remains the greatest lightsaber sequence in any of the films or animated series.
It's quite obvious that a LOT of effort and care went into the making of this fan film; the attention to detail in the costumes, props, effects & environments. Great job, folks!
In my opinion Star Wars should look like an 80s movie and not how modern movies look. There’s something fantastical and larger than life about the quality of those original three. It would almost be a artistic choice at this point to use the cameras they used back then
+Louis Clegg It is also Facebook's fault. When you share a video uploaded to Facebook, it auto-plays and appears like full width. On the other hand, when sharing a youtube video, you just have an static small and squared image.
"I sure do hate those rebels, don't you guys?" "Ya, we do, hey, when did you become a man?" "Uh, Frostbite... my boobs fell off and I grew a beard and a penis to survive?"
Yeah, you can see the amount of effort that individually each department went to to get these results. Beautifully captured, wonderfully realised, the attention to detail with the wardrobe and props were incredible and I personally loved the slightly quirky stop frame feel to the visual effects. Really enjoyable.
I think one more establishing shot of the pilot spotting the trooper somewhere in the distance would prevented all confusion why there is just an imperial storm to his feet out of nowhere. Besides that, gerat film! Love the scenario. Just reminds me of WWII pilots who crashed on enemy ground. Such destinies make Star Wars much more graspable.
It would not justified if this film is watched on the cell phone. Theatrical quality deserves at least 40 inch TV hook up and big sound. Congratulations to the Blood Brother Film.
ONE OF THE BEST STAR WARS (& ANY FRANCHISE) FAN-MOVIE I'VE SEEN! *Love the concept, & great job in the execution on the video itself! THIS IS LITERALLY NOVEL AND MOVIE-MATERIAL IN MY BOOKS!!
I thought there would be more of an "enemy mine" vibe, little bit of insulting and fighting in the beginning but then they help each other... until they are finally picked up by an imperial patrol. she returns to the imperials but does not give him away, he watches from a hide-out as she rejoins her squad not overly enthusiastic... but great work here! I really liked it!
I guess I shouldn't be asking why this is sooooo much better then the current batch of Star Wars films. This is made from love and admiration, not on making a two hour Kenner commercial. Two paws way up!
Great work! Nice touch too with the stop motion. In this case, if it didn't look better than a CG model might have, it's got a hell of a lot more charm, you went with the right approach. This was great; a nice simple atmospheric tale that expands the Star Wars universe. This is the kind of material the upcoming Spin-Offs should be centered on. It looks like they're doing that with Rogue One but all the Han Solo stuff sounds like pandering fan-fiction. Stories like this are far more interesting because they add something new and might give added weight to materials elsewhere.
Wow, what a difference real locations makes! Really awesome film, just a couple small things: - Love the stop motion, but if you do more scenes with the AT-ATs, try to give them a better sense of weight. This one appears too "light" because the main body isn't moving up and down enough to mimic the giant lumbering quality of something that large. - Why didn't the imperial radio for help? Was his blaster shot supposed to fry her communication device on her chestplate? I found it a little odd that she just sat there really silently without doing anything, or attempting to call for help. Troopers are always quick to signal for reinforcements when they're in trouble. - I know it's supposed to be "acting" but the long pause inbetween him checking her and her finally talking is too long. We're pretty much expecting her to say "get it over with" anyway, so sooner rather than later would be best. Sometimes overly-pregnant pauses like this can hurt amateur/fan films. Other than that though, a really wonderful job. Great sense of tone, and good musical choices.
+Miguel Mora These are really minor things in the grand scheme of the film. I'm just saying if this kind of stuff can be considered for their next film, it'd make it even better.
+Eji i get you dude, all i am trying to say is there are other people who think they did an awesomw job but could care less about those little details. i am not saying you are wrong or anything, you are entitled to an opinion. and i do not think they are making another film because of how much effort it takes and they only wanted to do one film to pay tribute to the originals
Interesting idea. I do wonder how he managed to strip the Imperial snow trooper, though. Seems like something that was glossed over pretty quickly near the end, but I get that the ending wouldn't have as effective with that scene spliced in. Overall, I enjoyed the landscapes and cinematography here. Nice job! A different type of Star Wars.
+English Lessons with Alex (engVid AlexESLvid) Its perfect! Its a homage to spies changing out uniforms with their capture in so many films--they never show that, for good reason--its also a homage to when Luke and Han did it in A New Hope. You never saw how they changed the outfit, but you did see who they got it from.
+Christopher Craig while I would agree with you I have a problem with how the uniform changed was portrayed. The rebel walked long enough for a day to pass (we see a night sky behind him in one scene). Then after we sees the imperials he changes uniforms. He would have had to go a long way to get back to the wounded imperial to do that. I would have preferred either a shorter walk or scenes showing him taking the time to go back for the uniform. Other than that a great fan film.
There's no way he can convince the people in command that he's one of them. When they didn't find his name or number he'd be dead. Therefore I think he killed the three on the ground, made his way inside the AT-AT, killed THEM, and took it over for the Rebels!
Pretty sure the point of the film is that he chose the only option that gave him a chance of survival, no matter the cost. So in that regard doesn't really matter if he succeeds or not
WOW ! This is by far my favourite Star Wars fan film. I love the quality of the camera and the way that you made it a modern interpretation of the original Star Wars films by using certain details. Brilliant 🙌🏽🙌🏽. Am still hoping for a second one
That Mars part of the Planets suite at the end, great choice. We all know that Williams was *heavily* inspired by it, but yea, even the original fits perfectly.

jder06 That's just silly.
The Rebellion doesn't even have a good dental plan.
I like how they used the film quality of the Empire Strikes Back.
Yes!
Either that or they just did a bad job with the 3D-Tracking :P
They recreated specific kinds of effects, but the quality is certainly not stuck in the 80s. I'm sure they used very modern equipment.
I agree! Very nostalgic and refreshing

It's quite obvious that a LOT of effort and care went into the making of this fan film; the attention to detail in the costumes, props, effects & environments. Great job, folks!
Thank the maker, no tauntauns were harmed in the making of this masterpiece!
Awesome job Nguyen brothers!! The landscape shots were really impressive. Definitely left wanting more!!!
Awesome work guys! People disliking this video probably don't realize the amount of work and effort put into this film
This whole just switching uniform thing only works in movies as they never have to show an ID card.
I'm sure he convinced her to share her identification number with him, and who knows maybe they have transgenders in that galaxy.
Seems like you'd require a movie just to show him switching up the uniform. Would have been more believable if he killed her.
i bet that there are movies with a a thousand times higher budget that are worse
Wizurd you sir are correct
Lel I see what you did there
Yeah, TLJ
Episode 8 comes to mind.
Cough cough the last Jedi cough cough solo
this was really well done! I loved the way you recreated the stop motion animation feel of the AT-ATs from Empire! Great stuff
This is a bad film, just cos they used stop motion and have a fancy background does not make it good
In my opinion Star Wars should look like an 80s movie and not how modern movies look. There’s something fantastical and larger than life about the quality of those original three. It would almost be a artistic choice at this point to use the cameras they used back then
I love that it gives off the classic 70's feel to it.
Too bad facebook is stealing all the views from you guys
...
Psy Bawr there's some random guy repost it on facebook that got everyone shearing and already got over 74000 views.
+T2266 That shit grinds my gears. Just share the damn TH-cam link!
+Louis Clegg It is also Facebook's fault. When you share a video uploaded to Facebook, it auto-plays and appears like full width. On the other hand, when sharing a youtube video, you just have an static small and squared image.
+T2266 why dont they just share the dam video :/
***** your guess is as good as mine
The music by Gustav Holst fits perfectly, this fan film is so well done. Wish there was a sequel to this
Makes sense, really. Lucas was planning on using Holst for the soundtrack until his friend Spielberg introduced him to John Williams.
"Hello fellow empire mates."
"I sure do hate those rebels, don't you guys?"
"Ya, we do, hey, when did you become a man?"
"Uh, Frostbite... my boobs fell off and I grew a beard and a penis to survive?"
welcome
TBH, that looks exactly like 'The Empire Strikes Back's movie quality.
John Williams: i’ve got to compose a way of interpreting space in the form of music, but i have no idea how
Gustav Holst: Here
John Williams: okay
There is more Star Wars in there than in any Disney Star Wars except for Rogue One.
Joe BILL exactly
And unlike Rogue One, this movie is creative enough to be its own thing and not rely on excessive fan service.
rogue one is shit tho
@@viperking6573 it has Donnie Yen in it, though.
@@TheAutumnWind_RN4L You are right, tho
I still can't get enough of this. The concept and the twist...I think I've watched this seven times already.🤘
Awesome job!
Yeah, you can see the amount of effort that individually each department went to to get these results. Beautifully captured, wonderfully realised, the attention to detail with the wardrobe and props were incredible and I personally loved the slightly quirky stop frame feel to the visual effects. Really enjoyable.
I felt the original trilogy vibe, best fan film yet!! You guys should be very proud!
I think one more establishing shot of the pilot spotting the trooper somewhere in the distance would prevented all confusion why there is just an imperial storm to his feet out of nowhere. Besides that, gerat film! Love the scenario. Just reminds me of WWII pilots who crashed on enemy ground. Such destinies make Star Wars much more graspable.
this is the closest to the Original trilogy we will ever get! Fabolous work! Awesome Stop motion!
0:44 Stop-Motion Animation ! How great to see this.
Best fan film I've seen yet, by far.
If the was shot on location 10 out of 10. It looked amazing.
Really enjoyed that! Well done guys. Well done!
TheXPGamers wow you here
It would not justified if this film is watched on the cell phone. Theatrical quality deserves at least 40 inch TV hook up and big sound. Congratulations to the Blood Brother Film.
ONE OF THE BEST STAR WARS (& ANY FRANCHISE) FAN-MOVIE I'VE SEEN! *Love the concept, & great job in the execution on the video itself! THIS IS LITERALLY NOVEL AND MOVIE-MATERIAL IN MY BOOKS!!
There is some western mood about this , its like hateful 8 meet Rogue one
I thought there would be more of an "enemy mine" vibe, little bit of insulting and fighting in the beginning but then they help each other... until they are finally picked up by an imperial patrol. she returns to the imperials but does not give him away, he watches from a hide-out as she rejoins her squad not overly enthusiastic... but great work here! I really liked it!
Absolutely loved this. Something about it just gives it that classic Star Wars feel that other fan films somehow lack.
Disney sucks!! This stuff that I'm watching on TH-cam is fantastic This is how Star wars should be made..
You guys should seriously look into making films, the style and the vibes I got while watching we're amazing.
How have I never seen this video before? This is gold. I want more.
Why does this not have more views!?!?
+mandokomixkid It's called Facebook ;)
+moprmisc fuck Facebook. I don't need to see all those retards posting worthless selfies
+mandokomixkid Exactly!
Amazing work!!! Really nailed the TESB feel, perfect!
I guess I shouldn't be asking why this is sooooo much better then the current batch of Star Wars films. This is made from love and admiration, not on making a two hour Kenner commercial.
Two paws way up!
I wish you guys would make a full length film of this short.
Great job, this is one of the best short SW fan films. Very professional.
This was actually a good short story. Though few words were uttered, the acting was excellent.
I loved it! Ending with Holtz was great, especially given his work's influence on John Williams' SW music.
This is absolutely amazing. How did I not discover this back in 2016
I keep noticing a trend recently, a character in the most hopeless situations will always pull out his/her hologram of a significant other.
*Halo Infinite
Pretty amazing. All the props and costumes were great
I’m SOOOO glad I got this in my recommended - 10/10 would watch again
0:00
Great work! Nice touch too with the stop motion. In this case, if it didn't look better than a CG model might have, it's got a hell of a lot more charm, you went with the right approach. This was great; a nice simple atmospheric tale that expands the Star Wars universe. This is the kind of material the upcoming Spin-Offs should be centered on. It looks like they're doing that with Rogue One but all the Han Solo stuff sounds like pandering fan-fiction. Stories like this are far more interesting because they add something new and might give added weight to materials elsewhere.
Just 20 seconds in but I see one GREAT thing already.... Finally a SW fan film that’s NOT 100% shot in a forrest! Bonus points!!
Man they are going to make him scrub an entire star destroyer for losing his gun like that
Wow, what a difference real locations makes! Really awesome film, just a couple small things:
- Love the stop motion, but if you do more scenes with the AT-ATs, try to give them a better sense of weight. This one appears too "light" because the main body isn't moving up and down enough to mimic the giant lumbering quality of something that large.
- Why didn't the imperial radio for help? Was his blaster shot supposed to fry her communication device on her chestplate? I found it a little odd that she just sat there really silently without doing anything, or attempting to call for help. Troopers are always quick to signal for reinforcements when they're in trouble.
- I know it's supposed to be "acting" but the long pause inbetween him checking her and her finally talking is too long. We're pretty much expecting her to say "get it over with" anyway, so sooner rather than later would be best. Sometimes overly-pregnant pauses like this can hurt amateur/fan films.
Other than that though, a really wonderful job. Great sense of tone, and good musical choices.
enjoy the movie bro! stop asking to many questions!
+Miguel Mora ... but I DID enjoy it. Constructive feedback is a good thing, you know?
Ya i understand that but it was just a little too much, you know?
+Miguel Mora These are really minor things in the grand scheme of the film. I'm just saying if this kind of stuff can be considered for their next film, it'd make it even better.
+Eji i get you dude, all i am trying to say is there are other people who think they did an awesomw job but could care less about those little details. i am not saying you are wrong or anything, you are entitled to an opinion. and i do not think they are making another film because of how much effort it takes and they only wanted to do one film to pay tribute to the originals
The stop motion on this was great. Thanks for making it.
This is like a star wars twilight zone episode lol
BatBrickFlicks YES. Good call
Thanks for subtittle :D With english subtittle it's easier to understand for strangers ;) great film :) !
+Nathan DEMARE De rien mon ami! Je suis heureux tous le monde peut vois ce film car de le subtittles.

+Nathan DEMARE saludos de latinoamerica :D
Thank you for using stop motion animation for the AT-AT walker. You healed part of the damage caused by these recent Disney SW films.
Best fan film I've ever seen.
You guys nailed everything. Congrats.
This fan film was better than episodes 7,8, and 9.
Interesting idea. I do wonder how he managed to strip the Imperial snow trooper, though. Seems like something that was glossed over pretty quickly near the end, but I get that the ending wouldn't have as effective with that scene spliced in.
Overall, I enjoyed the landscapes and cinematography here. Nice job! A different type of Star Wars.
+English Lessons with Alex (engVid AlexESLvid)
Its perfect! Its a homage to spies changing out uniforms with their capture in so many films--they never show that, for good reason--its also a homage to when Luke and Han did it in A New Hope. You never saw how they changed the outfit, but you did see who they got it from.
"set blasters to stun"
^and the imagination wins!
+Christopher Craig while I would agree with you I have a problem with how the uniform changed was portrayed. The rebel walked long enough for a day to pass (we see a night sky behind him in one scene). Then after we sees the imperials he changes uniforms. He would have had to go a long way to get back to the wounded imperial to do that. I would have preferred either a shorter walk or scenes showing him taking the time to go back for the uniform. Other than that a great fan film.
I wonder if they exchanged underwear
Kudos for stop motion animation.
After watching this a second time I am saddened by the thought that we may never see a fan made film like this again.
This has to be a netflix series
Review: Darth Vader - "I find your lack of dialog disturbing."
Genuinely blow away by how good this is. Thank you.
There's no way he can convince the people in command that he's one of them. When they didn't find his name or number he'd be dead. Therefore I think he killed the three on the ground, made his way inside the AT-AT, killed THEM, and took it over for the Rebels!
Anita Calloway how would he kill 43 men on his own?
And just where is he going with that AT-AT? He needs a ship, not a great hulking slow clumsy target
There's a reason why the film ended where it did. With this, it can retain its style.
Pretty sure the point of the film is that he chose the only option that gave him a chance of survival, no matter the cost. So in that regard doesn't really matter if he succeeds or not
yes and then flew away wearing a red and blue costume ...
WOW ! This is by far my favourite Star Wars fan film. I love the quality of the camera and the way that you made it a modern interpretation of the original Star Wars films by using certain details. Brilliant 🙌🏽🙌🏽. Am still hoping for a second one
I never knew that these fantastic short films were made thank you for all your time and efforts from a truly starwars fan
i was a bit confused at the part when the stromtrooper and the rebel pilot switched armour then it made sense to me. But still amazing movie!
Holy shit that was savage, I did not see that coming. Excellent scenery and effects
I dont know why, but the lack of words or narration makes this story better. Good work.
That Mars part of the Planets suite at the end, great choice. We all know that Williams was *heavily* inspired by it, but yea, even the original fits perfectly.
