Blender Star Wars Animation : Star Wars Return Of The Jedi Let's rush into the Death Star! HD

I learned a lot by animating some of the scenes of "Return of the Jedi", which is the pinnacle of motion control cameras, miniatures, and optical compositing, with Blender. ILM is amazing.
Please understand that there are some sloppy shots because I have too much trouble in how to make the scene chased by the blaze of the reactor explosion look like it.
I also tried to play with scenes that I would never see in an actual movie.
This time I added a fun shot as a bonus.
Music, sound FX are not my own.

[@FarseerAnimation]

Didn't expect that ending! Well done!

[@powdemonic7121]

yeah no shit XD

[@STICKOMEDIA]

Fr lol

[@fireforeffect1979]

I always felt bad for the guy in the Tie Interceptor. I mean after the Rebels took out the generator it was over and he was just trying to get out but was stuck behind some hillybilly space truck.

[@miserablemozz8714]

Love the idea of Wedge closing his s-foils to get through that gap where the Falcon lost it's comms dish.

[@andrewparker318]

To say that you accurately matched the look of the original film is an understatement. This is one of the best blender recreations of a Star Wars clip I have ever seen! Bravo!!

[@jtno2]

Agreed. This was a perfect recreation of the Death Star II attack run.

[@loganrosenthal4568]

This style looks like a perfect mix between the originals, prequels, and sequels

[@JediPhoenix1976]

Real nice touch having the X-wing close its wings just before the Falcon loses its radar dish.

[@frogbonegames5175]

It's amazing, the effects really look like the ones used in the movie, some parts actually look almost identical.

[@MadMac5]

For a few shots, I thought "Eh, this guy just put in scenes from the Blu-Ray, what a lazy... wait a minute, no, this is all original rendering!" This was truly excellent work, well done!

[@perfectionbox]

Han Solo: Dammit Lando, you broke your promise to me 😤

[@normietwiceremoved]

I would be thrilled if a new Star Wars movie used the camera movement style of the original trilogy's starfighter battles. Your video has convinced me that this style of cinematography is still impactful and effective. It would be great to see it used in a modern context.

[@Alphi71]

Well done. Very nice. And you've helped me to notice not one but two details from the original that I've somehow missed over countless viewings: 1) Wedge closing his s-foils when things got tight 2) The Y-wing fighter with the other ships In fact, it's funny - I saw the Y-wing in yours, and immediately assumed it was creative license, since I KNOW there was no Y-Wing flying into the Death Star superstructure. And then I went back and watched the original and confirmed - there WAS a Y-wing involved.

[@n.w.1803]

Right? You said exactly what I was gonna say..except that I saw Wedge close up his wings before and always got tickled by that little detail...and I like that the Y-wing isn't so slow as all the video games make out. Look at it's monster engines! It must do all right. And I like seeing the engine exhaust glow on all the ships at the original color values (bluish white for the Falcon, pure primary magenta red on the X-wing, etc); for some reason they get screwed up on all the re-releases and editions. I don't know why, but that bugs me.

[@internetstrangerstrangerofweb]

1:27 ah, nothing better than the tie fighter barf sound affect

[@Fate-of-the-Galaxy]

Wow that is incredibly impressive, you nailed the look and feel and movements! One of the most accurate matches to the aesthetic I've seen from Blender, well done!

[@IronMan3582]

Thank you for that tiny detail that I didn’t notice until the 2011 blu-ray release Wedge closing the S-Foils in his X-Wing when the gap was getting too small at one point Bravo

[@CaptFlyer744]

Very accurate re-creation minus the falcon getting blown up 😂😂, amazing video.

[@phillipmccauley7744]

The original will always be best, but I'll be damned if this doesn't look absolutely beautiful and professional! It look quite modern, made me feel like I was watching Disney era film.

[@DaneofHalves]

Wedge got away! 😛

[@onepiece666]

NO! NOT THE MILLENIUM FALCON!

[@YouSakura]

Please watch again and again until it looks like a falcon again.

[@user-xx6vy9ri8p]

What the hell is an aluminium falcon?!

[@c.alderman]

"SHE WON'T GET A SCRATCH"

[@pathevermore3683]

@@c.alderman sat dish go yeet!

[@Futuretense101]

Seeing the reactor always drops my jaw. For such a destructive weapon, the design is beautiful. And You made it better!

[@YouSakura]

I should have made it less shiny. I wanted it to be a little closer to the impression I got when I looked at the prop.

[@Futuretense101]

@YouSakura I wouldn't change a thing. You version gave me chills seeing it!

[@TheHero136]

Wedge: I'm going in. Lando: Here goes nothing. Lando: Now lock onto the strongest power source. It should be the power generator. Wedge: Form up, stay alert we can run out of space real fast.

[@caseym6779]

Just come across this now. Holy shit. This is awesome and inspiring at the same time.

[@johnprudent3216]

Beautiful work on matching and enhancing the original scenes. That ending though. Didn’t expect that lolol

[@Echelonia_Was_Taken]

I like the animation, well done! (RIP Millenium Falcon, lol)

[@Countryballs_Animation_Studios]

In case you did not know this was made in a software called blender it is open source and free for anyone to use, I also use the software and it is amazing the capabilities of blender and so vast that it can in fact do everything in the movie pipeline from 3D modeling, animation,2D animation,visual effects,compositing,rendering,2D animation,rigging,video editing,VFX,motion tracking,simulations,texturing and much more all in a free software

[@geomfilms]

great job with the FX. Truly amazing what can be made from the comfort of our homes.

[@wanoumars]

Very well done, thanks for sharing it with us!

[@DarkSapiens]

Holy shit, that was amazingly done!!

[@joet7136]

I thoroughly enjoy you Star Wars scene recreations! You have a great grasp of Star Wars universe flight physics!

[@kempstonj]

I love these scenes. This remake is brilliant. Great work!

[@thormathiessen]

it is very nicely done, a bit dark within the deathstar tunnels but really awsome

[@nanopixel.studio]

Are you serious? That was amazing!

[@ShaunORourke]

Absolutely fantastic work!!!

[@TheArcher101]

0:48 - That was TOO close....

[@212Filmmaking]

Unbelievable that this doesn't have more views! Great work.

[@JohnRaptor]

That looked great!

[@Veegs.]

Love the X wing manually folding it’s wings to fit the gap Edit: Is that in the original??

[@LastMumzy]

Man I'm sitting here questioning myself now. I'm sure it wasn't in the original. Great detail!

[@StarWarsAnime]

Awesome job!

[@fed_blend]

Dude you nailed everything!! Well done.

[@daxbradley4346]

Unbelievably good! WOW!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@tobyhallam4750]

very nice flight camera work. Great job man!

[@lavendergotgame]

Hafta wonder what those Eyeball and Squint pilots were thinking when they see what is basically the equivalent of a 1970 Ford Transit going the speed of a McLaren F1, racing down the guts of their Quadrillion-credits-worth space station, only to have said Space Ford utterly fuck their shit up.

[@hannoversa]

The Lando Maneuver!

[@J0N3S019]

This is incredible man, awsome recreation of this scene, the amount of detail is sick, this is almost spot on to the original scene just without the use of miniatures hah wow!

[@GonkMaster_2024]

0:46 That was close - Lando

[@MrBirchieBirch]

[@SEPK09]

[@lothean2099]

Wow. But those star destroyers are going to be destroyed in a moment also.

[@TheUnalteredMyth]

Woah now I don’t know how you did this as an active blender user myself but I think it’s safe to say you have talent my friend :)

[@holgerschulz4104]

You nailed it!

[@secondchancemovies]
