We have now reached a point in time when the fans make better stories than the actual Star Wars producers

[@gilmadreth680]

Fan content is made from a place of love for Star Wars. Lucasfilm content is made from a place of "give us your money". This one distinction makes all the difference in the world.

TbH it’s been that way since before the prequels.

[@Clemdauphin]

@@gilmadreth680 do you realy think Lucas as an interest in the fan production and the lot of comics that create a world with each of the vision of the fan... at least the sequel were lazy but logical. In the lengend canon luke can move multiple black hole... the sequel are bad realised but there is some potential

[@McGoat_prx]

The fact that Disney practically stole the image of the star destroyer falling past Cloud city in the new Star Wars sequels, just goes to show how cool an idea it truly was.

[@andrewrymell1]

What gets me, when you find a wee little gem such as this, is how fan films today are producing special effects that rival good movies of just a few years ago. And whilst I'm at it, nice to see non-cringeworthy dialogue and acting that plagues some fan films. Great job! :)

[@martok2112]

I share that sentiment. I am always amazed at the tools that are now available to Joe and Jane Average Film Maker to make such visually stunning fan-films (and originals).

[@taisankaocayuela8579]

Yesterday I have seen Rise of Skywalker and... Yes... You know... There's a tribute for you. That's lovely. You have to be soooooo proud.

[@wesleyvickers1398]

Congratulations to everyone involved in making this authentic, true to the originals and excellent film. For a few minutes I was genuinely submerged into that galaxy far far away. Thank you.

[@travistolbert2647]

Once again Fan Films doing a superior job to any big budget film bravo!

[@Chaffee738]

Gosh, the shot of the star destroyer's silhouette flashing in the clouds due to the lightning is easily one of the best shots I've seen so far in both canon and fanmade combined.

[@jjkmovies]

This is absolutely incredible! Very cinematic.That shot at 4:04 looks like something out of a Hollywood Blockbuster; you really get the sense of scale with the tiny X-Wing in the foreground, facing off against the might of the Empire. You guys also did an incredible job with the sound design, having slightly different X-wing engine noises when it cuts back and forth between the inside of different X-wing cockpits. I love that attention to detail.

[@MattHayesVinyl]

Really really impressive. Unlike most fan films, the acting was pretty decent too.

[@benbegleycomedy]

Pretty decent is what I always strive for :-p haha!

[@benbegleycomedy]

But seriously, glad you dug it

[@MattHayesVinyl]

I did! Any plans for more of these in the future?

[@drdav1]

benbegleycomedy Ben, you Andrea and Keith are pros. The ad libs, chemistry, comedic timing were awesome. You're a great actor!

[@marclytle644]

The sight of that ship going past the city sent a chill down me. Well done.

[@huntnwabbits8150]

I was thinking 'ohshitohshitohshit'

[@albee1000]

"For the Rebellion, a victory. For the Empire, a defeat. For the citizens of Cloud City, an average Tuesday." Excellent work. Looking forward to more from you.

[@orgeebaharvin4883]

I actually thought it was a lost clip or something! I really enjoyed that! Whoever you all are, fantastic job all around!

[@old-dream-left-behind]

Holy shit just found this. This is really well made! The CG actually looks good and the writing? Some likable characters, that are well acted, some believable banter that doesn't feel forced? Damn. Huge props to the team.

[@hokage64th]

The visual effects are SUPERB for any Star Wars fan film ive seen yet!

[@user-hn2wc3fy7y]

Came here from the X-Wing fan film and ultimately from Corridor Crew. These fan projects are mind blowing. Well done!

[@PY5RA]

LMAO, same journey I took to get here too.

[@真悟華本]

ありがとうございます！

[@Mechknight73]

Interesting choice of squadron. For those of you unfamiliar, Wraith Squadron was personally formed by Commander Antilles. He'd noted that the Rogues were operating as a fighter squadron with commando skills. He felt they needed a squadron of good space combat skills that could primarily work as a commando unit. Hence why one of the pilots knew exactly where to take down a Star Destroyer BESIDES taking out the shield generators on the bridge

[@lenouveauvillageois3182]

This was the best fan film I've seen for a long time.

[@thesenate2676]

2:52 for a brief moment, you see a destroyer 4:16 I like that little look away, as if he’s blinded by the explosion, like Lando in RotJ

[@jeffrudzinski]

This was a good one. It had a really good "original trilogy" feel to it in terms of the dialogue and cinematography. The use of models instead of CGI for many of the shots was a nice touch.

[@james_tiberius_kirk73]

5 years later and this is still better than anything Disney has created,

[@thisorthatquizzler]

so so true

[@zachboyd4749]

Movie wise, yes, absolutely. But series wise, I thought Mandalorian and Ashoka were both actually quite good. Goes to show what happens when you put someone who actually gives two craps about the franchise in charge of a project...

[@christianpeterson5707]

[@ethanchildress817]

Don't need millions to tell a good story. This was a lot of fun.

[@swampfireian41]

Still one of the best fan films graphically and script-wise. Great acting, too. Always nice to rewatch this gem.

[@Admiral8Q]

I agree!

[@twilinknull8247]

That was actually some of the best SFX I've seen in a fan movie. Good job!

[@ArthurOseven]

It was Interesting. Video released 2017 and I just found it in 2022. Thank you for the hard work.

[@christmasspiritakagatekeep2308]

[@barleysixseventwo6665]

Okay, the graphics are good but that bit halfway through where they explain "the plan" genuinely made me laugh out loud. The delivery of our male lead's line was freaking PERFECT.

[@CLMoss36]

Kudos to everyone who worked on the film.

[@carlchristensen4299]

Inventive, and well crafted short story. Nice CGI scene placement too.

[@coolpb11]

Holy crap guys, as one of not many "Non Jedi" fan films this is spectacular. The sound effects were spot on and the visuals were amazing. I agree with everyone else. I'd watch a movies of this alone.

[@woofwolffe9360]

*when a fan film gets the punchline at just the right moment* Me: *visible confusion* "This has never happened before..."

[@Ranger_48]

Thank you SO much for keeping the language clean! This was very well made, with awesome touches like the flash that revealed the silhouette of the destroyer. Well done!

[@Admiral8Q]

I love the old-school "Star Wars" expletives like: "Blast!"

[@iam_darthk]

Amazing effects and characters, great fan film! One thing though: I find it strange that none of the ISD's many turbolaser cannons didn't fire on them...

[@Frodo_Shaggins]

CGI was amazing, and as short as the story is it sure made up for it with being....... AMAZING

[@zaandarbrow]

DAMN THESE EFFECTS! finally a fan film with no choppy space effects

[@tufab3494]

I think this is the best fan film production I've ever seen. I felt like I was seeing a genuine Disney made Star Wars movie. Nice!

[@SJHFoto]

Don't insult this fine product like that! Hehe!

[@hughchungusii7393]

@facingthesun Star wars theory had like a $200,000 budget. Idk how much this film had but its not that steep forsure

[@ShenpaiWasTaken]

That was awesome. Honestly better than some of the fights in the actual movies.

For a fan made film that was some bloody amazing acting seriously good chemistry well written lines , great cgi how about we sign you up for the next star wars film . good shit .

[@deadlyplumjellyproductions]

RIP Star Destroyer crew as they die a painful death as the gas pressure crushes them as they fall deeper into the gas giant...

[@michaelweir9666]

It's not easy to get an audience to like a cast of characters in just a few minutes of screen time, and it's definitely not easy to generate suspense for a tense moment you've barely spent a minute building up to. I don't even know how you did it, just that I loved every moment of this fan film.

[@doyleperkins4916]

When 6 some odd minutes of a Star Wars fan film makes infinitely more sense than three hours of DisneyWars.

[@kendrickparks9129]

[@rodericwilliams1727]

Whoever you are thank you that was pretty intense for short film and it was totally awesome gave me chills

[@masterjey51]

One of the helmets is so ridiculously small. I also didn't like the fact that all the X-wings go to hyperspace exactly at the same time. The rest is...gold!!! Amazing job.

[@joldsaway3489]

The cinematography of the star destroyer falling right beside Cloud City literally took my breath away. Great job on the visuals, they were unbelievable

[@andyb1653]

Never underestimate the humble T-65 X-Wing. Those things will f*ck you up.

[@lavenderlilacproductions]

They have plot armor that's hard to penetrate.

[@dreamingflurry2729]

Gimme a Lancer-Frigate and I'll have no problem with these! Even Wedge Antilles, who's just about the Rebell Starfighter Ace (not counting Luke, who's a Jedi, not a regular dude!), feared them for a reason!

[@jess_n_atx]

Wow, that was great. Kept me on the edge of my seat when the Destroyer was headed towards Bespin.

[@czeslawpi]

Holy crap! Why have I not heard about this until now?!?! AMAZING!!!!

[@boblowes]

Well written, well acted. Great effects, really solid direction. Some absolutely beautiful shots. That opening shot is worth of being in an official Star Wars movie -just jaw-dropping.

[@harshalsagar6530]

Thank you so much for making a fan film that's actually really really good and not based in some forest or beach or desert. That was getting too stereotyped for a fan film. Anyone who knows more such films, can you please give the link? I'm looking myself for such films. Truly amazing.

[@jean-lucmartel2933]

IMPS Relentless still one of THE BEST SW Fanfilms 10 years later.

It's not that often I see freaking awesome Star Wars fan films but this is just amazing! Incredibly well done!

[@benjaminsarles6660]

Well done! The lighting was spot on in almost all of your shots! The cockpit shots where completely beliveable that you where actually in the fighters. I love the different views of the Star Destroyer as well!

[@williamburke1731]

It's refreshing to see a Star Wars fan film set in space, with such great effects, rather than a few kids running around in their backyard, wearing Halloween costumes and swinging Toys "R" Us lightsabers!

[@bishopniland1678]

the fact that when the lightning flashed you saw the outline of the star destroyer was amazing!!!

[@threnn9509]

It reminded me of Solo a Star Wars story.

[@The_Lone_Outlaw]

[@johnord684]

How come these fan movies are 100 times better than anything by disney star wars

[@Negan-lo7yr]

because they want to push a more w0ke/PC narrative.

[@Randy_Batswinger]

Let's face it, Disney is so shit they set the benchmark so low! But this is a fan film on another level! Fan film doesn't do it justice.

[@Han-rw9ev]

Who needs Disney? THIS is what fans wanted.. And it's nice to see the EU references.

[@AnthemAnimation]

The acting in this is noticeably better than many fan films I’ve seen on KZbin

[@vexandhexz]

I still sit in awe at the production of some these fan films. Even the small details like the cut of microphone ambience when the camera cut from pilot to pilot mid-conversation... The playlist grows

[@mdubdidit]

Fracking OUTSTANDING!!!!

[@timweiner7990]

No, an we stop and appreciate how good this was? The characters felt real, with a real history and relationship. The whole thing was stunning to listen to and watch. The actors weren't clunky and inexperienced like so many fan-film actors are. And that last line puts this in a plausible "canon" explanation. (We've just never heard of it because nobody believes it) For a 6 minute short film, this was incredible. Do more! :D

[@timweiner7990]

No really Arya...I'm watching some of your other films now and they're great.

[@JoeyIngles]

Well done. Graphics and story line were amazing. Exactly what one would expect from Red Squadron.

[@JDBW]

I think when people think of Star Wars fan-films, they immediately think of Storm Trooper or Jedi adaptations. Rarely have i seen a Dog Fight oriented Space Battle Fan film done THIS WELL. BRAVA !
