THE BATTLE OF MUSTAFAR - A STAR WARS FAN FILM

Seems unlikely that two star destroyers and their TIE fleets wouldn't have annihilated those squadrons instantly, but ignoring that this is so epic!

[@heavyarms55]

Attacking 2 star destroyers with less than 2 full squadrons? Insanity!

[@tracepercell5799]

Dude, absolutely AMAZING! I loved the small details you put in that a lot of people miss, like the capitalized text and the small evasive maneuvers the fighters did. Keep up the work. Truly stunning.

[@HellebustCG]

Much appreciated!

[@varus6969]

Started reading the description and thought before hand there were like at least 5 people working on this for the small turn around time. That's a lot of work for what you did and it deserves some recognition. Be proud of what you have accomplished. I'm saving this in a special playlist to show to friends.

[@kamrandil4299]

A HUGE amount of work, and thank you. But what unfortunately killed it for me was the lack of firing by the capital ships. It's like they are just sitting there. But thanks again for the entertainment!

[@friedi_fx]

This is so good! I can tell there went a lot of hard work into this video. The camera movement, spaceship animation and the overall sound design is what really sells this piece. It felt very natural to me, even though these are the things most 3D animators struggle with. The only things that need some improvements are lighting and color grading. They really improve the overall look of a film. Keep making things like this! You are a true VFX artist :)

[@HellebustCG]

[@randomobserver8168]

Very good! I thought the SDs were a little blandly rendered- simplified visuals, but they seemed to improve through the film. Your visuals on the fighters of both sides were, though, quite excellent, and so was your integration of the audio effects with the visuals. Very good indeed. I've been seeing a lot of these pop up now- this is among the best so far.

[@CrusaderinBlack]

Imps should have launched every Tie they had lol. Awesome job!

[@FarseerAnimation]

Wonderful work! I liked the cute details like the Tie getting smashed by the Destroyer. The sounds you used are very weighty and convey just the perfect Lucasfilm punch to the explosions. Well done!

[@yungtrigga2989]

Nice work my guy!

[@dzeclectic2327]

Nice job. I thought the fighters should have been a little faster, and the Y wings just waltzing up on the destroyer was a little to easy. But the rear cannon hitting Vader's wing man from the y-wing was a nice touch.

[@JzE_3d]

This is a shitload of work, amazing bro! As someone who made a couple of videos using blender I know the amount of work this represents

[@elliotlovgren2031]

these are amazing effects! The sound effects are great, the lasers are believable, the lighting is great (love how the lighting applies to the planet too, and that's not just a png slapped on there with no thought). If id have to be picky id say the ships don't go fast enough and the star destroyer models look off at times.

[@HellebustCG]

Elliot Lovgren thanks for the critique! Yeah check out my newest sw fan film, hopefully better:D

[@Xashe_]

This is great. My favourite part has to be at 4:24 when the music plays and the Star Destroyers come out of hyperspace

May i ask that how many hours did it take to render? Awesome work

[@HellebustCG]

Starıka ohh god, i have no idea, my guess would be 300 hours

[@keeganseva3975]

Awesome! It definitely felt like this scene could of been in a movie or video game. I cannot wait to see where else you go with all of this. That being said, I feel like your Star Destroyers were a little bright? Maybe darken their gray a bit? Also Star Destroyers are known for having all sorts of canons and turrets, yet I do not think a single one was fired all battle. 72 Tie Fighters per SD would be hard to render I'm sure (and get messy), but I would recommend at least having your squads of Tie Fighters in groups of four, not two. But again, super amazing!

[@LordSparks]

How am I only just discovering these now? These are awesome. My only feedback is the lack of frigates or support craft since I feel like 2 wings of craft taking down 2 Star Destroyers is a bit much.

[@alexandrenunesdeoliveira9417]

[@atownicpepperoni7217]

That’s really good ! Keep up like that !

[@RicktheCrofter]

“Ready photon torpedoes.” Anybody else catch that?

[@gregoryfuller1136]

We must have gotten lost when we went into hyperspace. I knew something was wrong when we later came out of warp. Then the ordinance depot we came upon said "United Federation of Planets," and the personell could not stop gawking at our ships. We filled up with Photon torpedoes, which I figured was just a typo on the shipping case. Photon, Proton; tomato, tomatoe. Either way, they worked - and worked WELL! Hell, we took out a star destroyer with one volley! I am definitely getting more of those, if I can ever figure out how to get back there... One more thing baffled me. They kept asking if we needed our "phaser frequency" adjusted, because "the Borg." What am I missing?

[@genevawelsh9133]

I really liked it. One thing I would change is give it more of a storyline to go with. I know it might be a little difficult considering it's all about the battle of tie fighters,etc. It also ended on a weird note that I hope there could be a part 2 to this :) overall I think you did a really great job working with the animation and the computer technology that goes behind the film

[@Elvisbackpack]

You're doing beautifully. My only problem is the way ships seem to be continually tethered to one another, like they can't move independent of their fighter wings. Right now, it's like the days of Rogue Squadron where you and your two wingmen shot down groups of four TIEs that all had to follow specific scripting. You can do it, I know this, get us crazy ass dogfights with dozens of ships.

"Highly classified rumors" made me smile. Better keep all those rumors highly classified... Perhaps "Rumors of highly classified...". Excellent work though, when all I can critique is sentence structure in the opening crawl. ESPECIALLY when I could not dream of creating anything approaching this, or even how to start. I'll stick to being a Grammar Nazi, since the comments section alone could keep me busy for years... Wow. Just wow.

[@noahrivera7996]

F in the chat for the tie that was destroyed by the Star destroyer entering the battle.

[@DrOneOneOne]

X-Wings are shielded; single hits from a Tie wouldn't damage, let alone destroy them.

[@cmbbfan78]

Great work!!!

[@keithkeith293]

Pretty good. The only thing I want to point out is that the 2 ISD at Mustafar seem to be Imperial 2 while the 3 that jump in look to be Imperial 1. You can tell by the height of the antenna between the shield generators. Imp 1 has taller antenna. If this is in between say episode 3 and 4 or between Rogue One and episode 4 then the Imp 2 hadn't yet been deployed. Otherwise, not too bad.

[@gabrieliacoboni6951]

I could nitpick but definitely better then Disney. Lol

[@guenterfischer8742]

[@wolfdruidradio]

X-Wings should close their S-Foils before hyperspace ;)

[@AvroBellow]

Attacking two ISDs with five X-Wings and 5 Y-Wings. Whst drugs were they on? I wouldn't even consoder attacking even ONE ISD without at least a dozen B-Wings. Since B-Wings didn't exist yet, if I were an Alliance tactician and only had fighters to use, , the biggest ship I'd go after would be the Arquitens-class light cruiser. I'd try to capture some and use them, in turn, to capture some Nebulon-B frigates. Even with Nebulons, I STILL wouldn't dare face an ISD in a pitched battle without B-Wings but I might go after a Victory-class destroyer.

[@vladyslavkostyuk6332]

Nebulons would get wrecked by any ISD unless its like 10 to 1. Really the amount of casualties from taking on an ISD would be horrendous. A few fights like that an the rebellion would be over lol. But an ISD can only be on one place at a time....

[@ethancarlson7028]

Not too bad.

[@peaceraybob]

Welp, that was frelling stupid. Sending just TWO SQNs to take on a pair of ISDs. Apparently Rebel Intel somehow knew that both ISDs were completely out of tabanna gas and couldn't shoot back. Oh, and their Command team were all on the planet, the Engineering Dept were all sleeping off a major party and Astros were fighting off a panty raid assault by the Storm Trooper detachment. That might explain what we just saw. The Trumpian levels of random capitalisation, however, is somewhat more difficult to justify.

[@Jargolf86]

Very nice, but why do the Star Destroyers not Open fire with Turbolasers? Sure the Accuracy against Fighter is low, but better then not to shoot, and a Hit is simply 1-hit kill.

[@Kaiser7068]

how did you make it!!!!! I want to make a Star Wars fan film like this but I don't know how to make starships models

[@HellebustCG]

CloneRepublic 66 you’ll want to start with downloading a free 3d software called blender. Its a bit complicated at first, but you’ll have sooo many options. Took me a month to learn but its so worth it. Start playin around with different tools and your T-65 X-wing is ready in no time
