[@lordmoldybutt1260]

Not just our time, but our galaxy as well

[@teddyrocker]

There is a crossover with Indiana Jones in one of Dark Horse´s Star Wars Tales issues that I am pretty sure the creators of this movie have read. Besides, there is also a sort of crossover between SW and ET. In Spielberg´s movie, when ET goes out with the kids during Halloween he runs after a kid disguised as Yoda while shouting "home!". After that, in The Phantom Menace, one of the seats in the Galactic Senate is occupied by ETs. In fact, there is a fan theory that argues that ET is a lost Jedi Knight, based on the telekinetic powers he shows in the movie. Just like if he was using the Force. What if ET was a Star Wars spin off?

Disney was one of the studios that originally turned down Lucas' pitch for Star Wars. 20th Century Fox was the only major studio that saw the potential and decided to take that gamble. Afterwards, Walt Disney Studios became very jealous of Lucas's success. This jealously played through with the way that this latest trilogy turned out, despite the fact that Rogue One and The Mandalorian are fantastic stories and are doing well.

Why is it these fan films have more heart and innovation than anything Hollywood has put out in over a decade??? Also, WHY HASN'T ANYONE SIGNED JAMIE COSTA????

[@JordanRainey]

Bc that's exactly what it is man. The ones who make these fan films put the most heart into it without having lunatic execs stop them from making something amazing

[@stanley3119]

Copying other films is the exact opposite of Innovation

[@omegadecisive]

@@stanley3119 nearly all creative work is derivative, it's just about making it nuanced enough for no one to notice.

[@summitjunky6669]

Passion.

Wow! What an incredible short film. Great acting, great camera work, great CGI and visuals, great editing. This was an all around very professionally made film. This film and team deserves so much attention and praise for this gem that they’ve created here. Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau need to see this for sure. Thank you for this, it was amazing.

[@StarWarsOriginsFilm]

You’re welcome! Thanks for the lovely words. MTFBWY!

[@michaelg8642]

i wasn’t paying attention at first and then i started hearing AK-47s and was like “wait.. what? I clicked a star wars video” lol!

[@SaxonArmamentsCo]

No Ak... this is the 40s. Those are mp38 german sub guns. Generic machine guns, a p38 pistol and 2 very vietnam era tanks lol. Can't really wag a finger at the creators though...panzers are hard to come by. ;) (ANY tank is hard to come by so kudos to them for making it work)

[@ColtonWilliamCoyne95]

I'm a 24 year old man and I sat here the whole time even after 5 viewings already yet I still have that childlike wonder while watching. Love the nods to everything and was that a Star Trek reboot nod there at the end? Love it guys.

[@pinseysisters4811]

“Crazy thing is, it's true. The Force, the Jedi - all of it. It's all true.” Star Wars Orgins is truly phenomenal!!! I mean, how have more people not seen this?! This deserves millions of views!! I will definitely be sharing this with my Star Wars friends.

[@StarWarsOriginsFilm]

Thank you!

[@abanks9591]

Sadly most people will not believe it's all true

[@CletusHicks]

This is garbage. Why still make Germans your scapegoat? Most of them had nothing to do with ww2. Low hanging fruit. Be creative, this is just pathetic.

[@StarWarsOriginsFilm]

@@CletusHicks Sorta the point of the story and one of the many inspirations for the little George Lucas to go on to create Indiana Jones and Star Wars. You can’t do the “origins” without it.

[@Weebbs]

Amazing job, biggest praise that I can give you is to share this. Hopefully someone can take this and run with it, maybe a series or a full length feature....

[@StarWarsOriginsFilm]

Well, we hope nobody just takes it and gives us a shout if they want a series. 😉 Thanks for sharing!

[@Weebbs]

@@StarWarsOriginsFilm LMAO. I meant that hopefully someone would see this and reach out to you to take it to the next level, maybe a series. I'd definitely watch that!

How can this be a fan film? 😯 it’s like a feature film!

Wow amazing short. Fits so easily into starwars lore. Deserves a movie of its own.

[@robertbyrne5374]

For the all too briefest of moments, in my minds eye, it was 1977 and I was 10 sitting in a cinema again, waiting for the beginning of a wonderful cinematic saga, thank you for bringing that time back to me.

[@StarWarsOriginsFilm]

This is so wonderful! My favourite comment so far.

[@pjthrand2173]

I felt the same magic and awe as well. It reminded me of walking out of the theater in 1977 and saying to my siblings, “Wow. What if something like that really did happen a long time ago in a galaxy far far away? Congrats for making this film, Mr. Hawkins. You are a Star Wars fan. I think George Lucas would be proud.

[@SynthD]

The acting in this is absolutely phenomenal. I’m pretty blown away, felt like Hollywood talent.

[@gammon1183]

Other than Rogue one and Mandalorian this is hands down more entertaining than recent stuff

[@kaiziel]

noway, how did they guy know who to operate a full on ancient star cruiser all by him self? and jump into hyperspace and such. and how would she know how to use the force to grab the light saber and deflect bullets...... oh and the nazi fleet out of nowhere!!

[@andrewgilford]

I heard about this from the In love with the Process podcast. I never got to see the trailer and I went into it with zero expectations. It was a fantastic looking piece! All your actors and set design was spot on. Heck, even the audio design was fantastic. Great job guys, I hope the big wigs who rule the industry will recognize your teams abilities!

[@SpaceTed]

Now this is pod racing! Seriously though, that is the best Star Wars fan film I've ever seen. So original, very well done!

[@cultusdeus]

Yes, well done. Wonder if Disney knows what that even means anymore.

[@JordanDilla]

Solid. We need more fan contribution like this. It's what made the Star Wars fandom unique. Continuing the story started by George Lucas. Star Wars is from the fans, not just from a bunch of writers and franchise owners. Thats what weakened the third Trilogy. Erasing its rich past and stories created by fans.

[@abesapien9930]

Star Wars is so real to us, we insist it cannot be just a story.

[@fernandoestebanzunigaandra8088]

Paul Hawkins the director, is a real genius. The greatest franchise we knew, back in the eigthies, are put together in a very accurated and touching fan film. And the cast, its just incredible. Congratulations Paul, you are a very talented artist. Greettings from Chile. =)
