0:45. This is a really clever shot. Your eyes are drawn to the Star Destroyers, naturally. So you don't notice the TIE fighters until they get closer and come out from the shadow of the destroyers, making their appearance more surprising as a result. Nice slight of hand trick to make the shot more effective.

21 seconds in and I am in love with it already. Nothing cooler than seeing the Rebel Fleet just causing through space. Fighters zipping by, capital ships so large they seem to be unmoving against the backdrop of the blackness of space. So cool. Not to mention, any scene starting out with a Blockade Runner (one of my all-time favorite ships) can't be bad. Only downside, too short. Just as I was getting into it. BUT AWESOME!!

[@kurtb8474]

45 years ago, this kind of work was done with models on a blue background using an expensive computer controlled camera mount. And the camera wasn't cheap either and one had to be an expert at operating it. Now, it's all done with computer software at a fraction of the cost and proficiency with the software.

@@RobertWF42 One would think so, but all I've ever seen a StarDestroyer launch is long-range probes and TIE-craft; all weapons fire appears to be energy weapons only, i.e. turbolasers.

[@RobertWF42]

@@robgyanisu312 Yes - I think George Lucas wanted Star Wars combat to evoke WW2 fighters, bombers and carriers. No guided missiles or nukes. :-) In universe, perhaps capital ships & fighters in the SW universe can quickly shoot down missiles so they're not an effective weapon?

[@robgyanisu312]

@@RobertWF42 Given that probes-which aren't much bigger than a TIE-fighter can be equipped with hyper-drive, a nuclear-tipped missile could be programmed for a micro-jump with avoid any/all point defense weaponry. Alternatively, a fighter craft could be equipped with nuclear-tipped missiles for close-range attacks a la Vietnam War-era rocket strafing runs by F-4E _Phantom II_ jet fighters against the Vietcong.

Rob Gyanisu while they could do this there were rules of war these rules that everybody obeyed included using hyper drives as a weapons because one person started doing it everybody would then this would cause a chain reaction causing capital ships to be destroyed and rendered useless

[@larnregis]

wow, excellent work. The models, lighting, animation, camera, sound effects and music choice, everything top-notch quality work here. Please can you go into detail... With which software you rendered this? (3ds max, Blender, Maya?) How long did it take to render? Do you had only a single PC or access to a render farm? How much post processing and what kind of work was done in post? (was Adobe After Effects used?) Thank you a lot for this eye candy.

[@someperson2216]

My guess, Blender, probably didn't take longer than a couple days judging by how Eevee (as opposed to cycles which would take far longer) was used (if you look very closely at 1:06 you can see that the Tie-Fighter is slightly transparent, a common sign of people using Eevee. Post Processing wise, no clue, although I believe most of it would've been done in Blender if it was made in Blender.

Getting ready for Squadrons... All wings report in !

[@TechyMantis]

one thing I really loved was the engine glow of the xwings that was really good

[@tearstoneactual9773]

There is one glaring flaw I'd point out. X-wings have an atomospheric flight speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour. This gives them a flight speed of 278 meters per second. They are significantly faster in space, or are supposed to be. Most star destroyers are around 1 kilometer long. So flying along a star destroyer's broadside should only take 4 to 5 seconds to cover the entire length. The side shot here takes too long, unless they were flying slower for a purpose. This is just a small technical detail first noticed in the approach to the star destroyer, that even with the perspective it was too slow, though amazing for showing scale. Also missing is the sound of the X-wings deploying their S-foils. Everything else is *awesome* can't stress that enough. The model and texture work, the lighting, the overall sequences were great. George Lucas would have sold his soul for this back in 1976/1977.
