Sands of Fate | A Star Wars Story

[@bigmike8564]

Is it just me, or is the Star Wars bar scenes the freakn BEST

[@Rhythm911]

you can add my son and grandson to give you 2 mo' "LIKES" !!

[@ChrisFBartlett]

You’re right! Filmed at Scum & Villainy on Hollywood blvd.

[@nathanbock6877]

You always know something is going to go down in a Star Wars bar!

[@bigmike8564]

@ Truer words have never been spoken my brother

[@williamfuss9211]

This was incredible. The costume design and puppet work was the best I've ever seen in a fan film. Those droids! They were so good! Loved the voice of that certain familiar character at the end. Amazing job

[@ChrisFBartlett]

❤️🤖❤️

[@Toys4Stef]

I’m so proud to be the mom of the screenwriter and producer of this amazing film. They worked so hard to bring this to the Star Wars fan world. The cast and crew are beyond amazing!

[@suukbang]

Ma'am, They did an awesome job!!!

[@antoinerouaud9985]

You can !

[@davyman2000]

This is such a Mom post to make and I'm seriously here for it lol

We moms gotta rep our kids! Thanks@@davyman2000

[@ianeskander6628]

I’m blushing, Mom ❤ Thanks for always supporting your nerdy sons. We love you!

[@adamjones-ps]

This has got to be one of the best, if not 'the' best Star Wars Stories ever made. The quality of this production is top notch. The acting was phenomenal. The set design, sound effects, visual effects, story, props, costumes, and everything else were amazing.

[@escapevelocitycontent3342]

Thank you :)

[@13coconuthead]

OMG this is the BEST fan made SW movie I have seen!!!!! If Disney had made it, it would have been the same quality. BRAVO!!!!

[@BushinRyuCat]

You mean *SUPERIOR* quality in story & dialogue but *same* in cinematography! 😊

[@Vile_Entity_3545]

No it wouldn’t. They would of had a Mary Sue play the lead.

[@Reflex-jl2yw]

WOW.. What an amazing way to integrate a story into the Original Trilogy... Very clever and well done. Love those spider droids.

[@kazoosc]

I loved the two spider droids clutching each other's legs to roll faster than they can walk

[@terpgirl5]

That was pretty awesome!!

[@SWcollateralstory]

Few fan films would I describe as inspiring. This really felt like getting into the Star Wars underworld. Everything was perfect! The props, the sets, the costumes, the VFX, the writing, the cinematography, the music, the sound, the acting.... No doubt these people are deep in love with this franchise and every frame of this piece is a demonstration of it. Please do more!

[@escapevelocitycontent3342]

Thank you so much. Our team appreciates your kind words.

[@Danielbohman]

We are born and raised Star Wars. Fans living the dream of contributing to the galaxy far far away...

Can we all agree we appreciate the Max Rebo Band!

[@thatgirlmair]

Yes seriously it was so cool!!!

Would love to see their rise to denizen stardom.

[@Toto-TK88]

Of course

[@darthslater6077]

EXCELLENT!! NO CHEAP ACTING EITHER!!! LOOKS TOTALLY PRO!!

[@Jorizzle22]

Yes! The acting is usually pretty bad in most fan films. Not this one. Exceptional!

[@raztaz826]

This one has has some of the best costumes and puppets I've seen. There's only a couple other fan films that are as good. The Ithorian, lizard-monkey and other cantina creatures looked right out of the original films.

[@ChrisFBartlett]

Tim Martin is a stunning creature sculptor. One of the best working in Hollywood. He also has an instruction series on the Stan Winston channel.

[@DDG-sk6nl]

What an amazing way making a story which can expand on characters in a different way. This can easily be plugged in between ESB and ROTJ. Bravo!!!!

[@thatgirlmair]

Thank you!!

[@josepablolunasanchez1283]

This movie officially becomes a favorite fan film. This adds to other fan movies I love: * Pink Five (5 episodes) * Tie Fighter (animation) * Star Wars Liberation * Star Wars Wingman * After Endor

[@alecrichards8574]

Thank you so much for these recommendations, i've seen a lot of fan films, many of which are great. Your list are truly some of the best i've seen after watching all the ones on your list. Personal favorite might be.... I don't even know, all equally good in different ways!

Hey Disney. This is what a Star Wars film really looks like........ superbly done.

[@thatgirlmair]

right??

[@ChrisFBartlett]

Agree!

[@alecrichards8574]

I love that this insinuates Boba Fett wasn't the one to fall into the Sarlaac, he's got decoys! Great idea and the props and costumes and settings were perfect, well done!

[@JamieCosta]

Hands-down, one of my favorite, Star Wars projects, I’ve seen in so long. This is so well-made, and so respectful to fans and inspiring with unique intertwined story/new characters to a very familiar universe and very well captured. This is seriously incredible for a true Star Wars fan and filmmaker alike.

[@NickMahar]

thank you so much Jamie! We love the ones you have done!

[@ianeskander6628]

Thanks so much, Jamie! Seriously, that means a ton coming from you. I definitely appreciate your friendship and support. You’re one of the good ones.

[@Ingothnia]

Star Wars would be gone forever without films like these.

There is evidence to suggest that catholic Kennedy sought to destroy George lucas's legacy because he romantically spurned her.

[@Madbirdreal]

This had got to be the best of the fan films I’ve ever seen, the quality, the props, the characters, everything is outstanding! I can tell your team was very passionate about everything

[@daveforbes4269]

Awesome story line. I’m 50 and an original star wars kid you did a great job

[@sbossink]

Although I have seen already dozen of Star Wars fan films, I can honestly say that this is by far the best one ever. The music, the storyline, the locations, costums, the camera techniques, it is all very very well made, well done! Walt Disney can take an example out of this!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@farfromdeathstar]

amazing job! loved every minute of it! especially that ending 👏🏻👏🏻

[@madisonw7170]

The way you incorporated it into the original movies is incredible, this is hands down one of the best fan films I have ever seen

[@nathanbock6877]

These guys have such a great feel for story and passion for details

[@jimwhitehead230]

In 22 minutes you did something Disney hasn't done in 11 years. Kept me interested. I really wanted to see more. Great job 👏

Thank you!!

[@cyberpunk4622]

Wow. That was phenomenal!

[@SiLVRViRUS]

Watched this at the Morpark Film Frstival! I knew nothing about this going into it, and it was pure nostalgia! The scenes, the acting. The characters, the directing, everything, screamed true starwars! I had such an awesome time watching this film and Birth of a Monster! Spectacular job to everyone involved in these amazing projects! Hearing all the actors talk about their experiences while making the films was so awesome! Again thank you for this amazong film!

[@MaartenAnna]

😮 Gobsmacked! All the details from the Cantina, all the different characters, with some nods to the old ones, and some New ones. Special effects were pretty good. That first shot, with the ship coming in over Mos Eisley had me saying:"WOW!" out loud even! I loved it, one of the best! ❤❤❤

[@jamisonmoore2797]

I am extremely happy to have seen this short film. Really well done. Kudos for the making of this.

[@zachkozarek]

Amazing!! So happy to see another one of your films. It made me so happy to meet one of the actors at a local comic con. He actually is the one who let me know about those channel. Awesome work

[@escapevelocitycontent3342]

We’re stoked you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for the comment

[@anthonypc1]

the lighting especially recreates the cinematography of the original movies so well. A screenshot from scenes like the cantina could have me convinced it was from unused footage, remastered. Excellent quality all around! And entertaining enough to be worth the 25 minute watch time! (more like 35 since I replayed many moments haha)

[@NickMahar]

thank you so much!

[@Aikurisu]

As someone who's checked out of Star Wars of late... this surprisingly kept me hooked. Great look, great feel, and I want to know more about the characters. ... also, it's weird seeing someone like Akiva in this age. I expected her to kill the goons in the cantina but nope. She's the classic representation of a woman who knows her greatest asset is her charm and the actress nailed it. Even the peck on the cheek at the end there seemed so alien that I almost forgot Star Wars can have subtle intimacy like that. Nice sway of the hips, too!

[@tommymarco]

Came here after Birth of a Monster. In am amazed by the props made and the fantastic storytelling. Such an amazing film

[@VincentGuastini]

TIM I am blown away.

[@occamsrayzor]

I really enjoyed this, and it kept my attention without it feeling rushed. Well done to all.

i think is the best star wars short who i never saw, the costumes, the locations, the interiors was amazing so much quality of details, the best of the best

[@NickMahar]

thank you so much!

[@Mangolorian-je3eo]

So well done it hurt to see actual Star Wars again.

[@TheA8lee]

Probably the best overall-produced Star Wars fan film I've seen yet.

[@TheA8lee]

Unfortunately contradicts the later on-screen revelations in the Mandalorian series, however.

[@nathanbock6877]

Agreed, the production team is amazing

[@bigmike8564]

Masterpiece Fan Film! A real Gem guys! I thoroughly enjoyed this sensational short film and I was actually butt hurt when the credits rolled because I wasn’t ready for the adventure to end!!! Looking forward for more episodes asap

Definitely need more! Amazing production! Set design and costumes that looked like they were straight out of the original trilogy. Loved the cameo with Threepio and R2. Max Reebo band too! This gave me the feels thank you. Keep em coming!

Okay, respect where respect is due. Now this was very, very good. One of the better fan films that I’ve seen. After watching the awful acolyte, I’ve started to look for fan films that are made by fans like myself, who just want to tell a good story. Thank you. The acting, story, production, well everything, was vastly better than a lot of what Disney have created. Hope you make another one.

[@ReubenOliver-501st]

The Book Of Boba Fett prologue. And its canon because it has Max Reebo in it!😊

[@realgagy9135]

Without a doubt one of the best Star Wars fan films out there! It deserves way more recognition.

Too bad it makes no sense at all. It is well executed however.

[@nathanbock6877]

It was given an 'Achievement in Film' recognition at the Moorpark Film Festival back in September 👍

Disney needs to learn from these guys how to write great stuff.

[@starwarsforever_fanfics]

From the props to the acting to the score to the cinematography, this is absolutely stunning. I watched this and actually felt very immersed with the story. The production value of this is incredible and I even noticed an Easter egg or two. 10/10 excellent job!

One of the best SW fan made films ever !!

[@keithaguirre4927]

Disney needs to open an "Independent Star Wars Fan Film" Division. Offer grants to people like Tim and this group to create more Star Wars Fan films...what a great idea. Provide competitions for up and coming film makers to make Star War stories of all varieties. I love these independent stories.

[@nathanbock6877]

Great idea!

[@darthresch952]

Very well done. It looks like Star Wars. It sounds like Star Wars. It has the feel and grittiness of Star Wars. I guess it is Star Wars! I realize many of these fan films are people doing their best on a budget, but the care you all took to not have items on set that took me out of it like some of the films I’ve seen. People work hard to paint a picture, then they leave in a sitting area that looks like it was attached to McDonalds. It ruins all the other hard work they put in their film. You guys really paid attention to detail. Outstanding… really outstanding. Thank you!

[@suspect86]

That explains the discrepancies in Boba Fett’s suit and blaster between ESB and ROTJ!😂

[@2TRICK]

Excellence all around, in all aspects of production here. You guys really nailed the entire look and feel of the original Star Wars movies. This story belongs in that galaxy and everyone involved should be commended for their efforts. This is by far, superior to anything the mouse has done recently. You guys need to be fully funded and allowed to keep creating!

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

This is excellent film-making, Escape Velocity Content! Stellar Special FX, make-up, and Costume Design. The score was on point. Hey, quite the "get", to have Steve Blum portray characters in your film...I thought, for a few seconds, We might actually hear Mr. Morrison's characteristic voice coming from Boba Fett. At this point, this looks like a possible side story/quest in the upcoming, Star Wars: Outlaws video game. This would also make for an interesting canon comic series. I wouldn't mind seeing some of this mentioned or dramatized in The Mandoverse (in segments relating to new daimyo of Mos Espa, Lord Boba Fett). What's truly scary? This is more authentic Star Wars than too much of the Obi-Wan Kenobi miniseries, and parts of Andor (I already care more about, and like, this character, Tiro, than Cassian Andor). Loved the cameo of R2 and Threepio...I guess Anchorhead is more kind to droids than Mos Eisley. Your premise of this being, "A Star Wars Story", fits in to an idea I've had for Disney + and movie theaters releasing, on occasion, special short films of The SWU, kind of in the same vein as Marvel Studios' very successful, Werewolf By Night short film. I hope there's another installment of Sands Of Fate, or another story involving these interesting, quality characters. I wish you all continued success in your present and future creative endeavors. Bravo! Thank you, and May The Force Be With You...

I just discovered this video today and was compelled to leave a comment. Simply love this movie - production, acting and creativity are all top notch. The manner in which it is cleverly inserted into the storyline we love, with great use of those characters and details, shows it for the labor of love that it is. As others have said, this proves why Disney should be able to consistently demonstrate this level of craftsmanship with its Star Wars offerings - the material is there as are the creators to point the way!

[@nathanbock6877]

Check out their other short, Birth of a Monster, also a very cool story created from a small moment in one of the original films

[@MusicMyEverythingPHX]

I loved seeing Max Rebo again and General Grievous' head on the wall, while implausible, was funny. I was lost a little in parts, but overall not a waste of time.

My god Disney, THIS is how you tell a story!!! Doesn’t need 8 episodes of slow filler and what a freaking great twist on Bobas “demise”! This is Tales from Jabbas Palace brilliance! Recently cancelled Dismay+ (I typed what I typed) due to both marvel and SW failures as well as nearly doubling their member cost. How fantastic and refreshing to feel Star Wars again here.
