[@MichaelJaeYT]

This was so incredible to watch. Congrats to everyone who submitted, you guys went way above and beyond, so happy to see so many talented shorts ❤️

[@Hamza_FANPAGE259]

Hello there Michaei jae

[@potter_productions]

wow, i like watch u and now u've seen me 😱🤯

[@zemilkman5450]

Bro my favorite was fallen angel wbu

[@quantumgaming93]

Hello there Master jay

[@bajanconcepts]

ditto, did not see the point of repeating what you already said. My sentiments exactly.

[@WoofWoofWolffe]

Congratulations to everyone and thank you Cine for hosting this! I absolutely loved watching them all 👏

[@lego501stclone6]

Thank you for supporting fan film creators like this!! I love how dedicated this community has became :D

[@LegatusLucius1994]

We already know you're making some of the best stuff out there keep up the good work

[@valkyrievalfreyja7563]

But HOW do I get sponsors for my entry? I have a fresh story from a totally untried angle in the SW EU avenue. I am a girl in the Philippines and want to enter my work, but need help to upgrade my system, especially since NVidia cards went scalper prices when I was having my custom cpu built from just cosplay pic funds I earned. I am working in Blender and Daz and Photoshop and making a very intriguing graphic novel comic mag+ animated video sequence type of story with Disney/Lucasfilm quality attention to detail, and yet am an amateur. That must say something. Any recommendations for some support on my work? (samples available on request)

[@Janobot]

Congrats to all the winners 👏

[@TerraStone]

I've been looking forward to this

[@GHOST-sv6hw]

I fully agree with you

[@anonymerschiss]

same

[@semperyt]

I am so happy that Vader's Angel won. Best animated Film in a long time

[@everythinginashorttime2566]

IM OUT OF WORDS Literally EVERY SINGLE short film was absolutally Amazing wow im really shooked. Well done everyone !!

[@MoviesRemastered]

One of the most anticipated competition results of the year. Best of luck everyone! 💙

[@eb7148]

My overconfidence was my weakness. Sickness, laptop's behaviour, everything stopped me to upload my render on your contest. At the end, I didn't submit. May the force be with them.

[@CinematicCaptures]

These things unfortunately happen and I’ve been in the same situation myself, I highly encourage you to try finish the film and upload it on your channel anyway. It would be a shame for all the work to be for nothing!

[@reality8470]

I’ll make sure to watch your fan film if you finish it

[@PogromcaDeszczu]

@@reality8470 me too

[@savageopress1753]

Me too!

[@Gasssolo]

count me in!

[@aka.Kosmos77]

Bruh, now I get why I got so many SW fan films recommended lately. XD

[@Sephiroth144]

Yeah, I had noticed a surge myself...

[@AlexS189]

Thanks for organising this dude! :) Really awesome to see what everyone created!

[@Ivbo]

Everyone should be proud of themselves for all of their entrees, they were all great…but that “Fallen Angel” one definitely deserves the win, that was absolutely phenomenal, its so good I consider that canon now…

[@georgeellison5923]

Well done everyone, all winners are well deserved! Thoroughly enjoyed making my film and I have learned so much from the experience thanks for the opportunity to take part!

[@FrostbiteCinematics]

Thanks again for the amazing opportunity! :) Really excited to see the winners. Personally, I'm rooting for Alex on this one. Fallen Angel was just too good!

[@elliemacfarlane2912]

Hi dad

[@demod2080]

I'm glad a contest like this shows the Star Wars community isn't completely dead but alive and inspired. Great job to everyone who submitted and won awards!

[@skyearl1816]

What made you think it was dead in the first place? :D

[@demod2080]

@@skyearl1816 -stares at Disney- No reason...

[@skyearl1816]

@@demod2080 But Disney is the main reason that Star Wars didn't die? They brought us 5 new movies, 10 new shows, comics, videogames, music, lore. Without Disney buying Star Wars in 2012, Star Wars would have slowly faded and eventually died

[@demod2080]

@@skyearl1816 They destroyed the community what are you talking about? They decanonized All of the EU, stole ideas from them and put it in their shitty movies; steal fanart for their books; create video games that are bogged down with laziness and microtransactions and destroy any potential successful product before it takes off

[@skyearl1816]

@@demod2080 oh no. Not another one of those angry fanboys Just pick the stuff you like and ignore the stuff you don't like, jeez. Mandalorian is a great show, Fallen Order is a great game. The new Thrawn books are great and finally the canon is concise and there are no real inconsistencies anymore. Also, don't act like the old EU was full of treasures. There was much crap in there. R5-D4 being force sensitive? A talking mountain? C'mon. Also, the EU is not gone my friend. The stories still get treated with love, only the label of 'legends' has changed. Hell, Kotor even gets a remake. Again, just pick the stuff you like. Don't act as if Disney committed genozide.

[@DarylLeighLynn]

Firstly, congrats to all the winners and runners up! 🏆 There were so many fantastic entries! Huge congrats to Cine and the team (+ all the great sponsors) for putting this in motion. It’s been a joy to see it all come together. I hope this becomes an annual event!

[@Star_Maks]

Excellent work everyone who entered. There are some masterpieces here!

[@MrDinko]

Just want to say, massive congratulations to everyone that entered! :)

[@karagucemir29]

This was spectacular! Hope you make another short film competition next year too, me and my team are looking forward to make a Star Wars short

[@Tekkiki]

Well deserved to all winners and thx again for organizing this fantastic event and opportunity!So many good fan films at once and was nice that you featured some of the other videos too although they didn't win

[@theneweternalempire2885]

These are all incredible! This should be done annually! I think it would receive a tremendous amount of support. It is also so great to see amazing Star Wars content during a drought of new, official content.

[@zyzzlivesinallofus7531]

Thanks for doing something like this, some of the submissions are the best fan made work I've seen in this fandom... that's alot of talent and passion...thank you for letting people showcase that...hope we get more events like this in the future

[@napstopmotion8870]

This was so incredibly well done and beautiful to watch! All of the short films looked amazing, congrats to the winners!

[@ObsKenobs]

I just want to say it was an absolute blast making a film for this contest, it really gave me the opportunity to get some shots that have been in my head for years out there and if in the future you all decide to do another fan film contest I'll be the first one there. Thank you also to everyone who watched and commented on my film it really meant alot and congratulations to the winners, runners up and to everyone else for making some insane films!!!

[@Rogue_Console]

Damn a lot of effort went into these short clips. Amazing

[@g4v1nk26]

I do love the fact that old foes is a reenactment of kenobi vs maul

[@tdk4001]

It is amazing to see what a fanbase can achieve!! The Star Wars community is one of the best communities in the world change my mind.

[@OwenatorProductions]

So many amazing movies! Congratulations everyone

[@kamilszymczak963]

Really congrats to all & the winners, Well done, you can really see how much effort has been put to make them. Good luck forward!

[@_thomas1031]

Thank you SO much everyone for their creations! It definitely gave me my shot of star wars until the new shows come out. I can definitely tell so many worked extremely hard , even in unfinished projects. Thank you 🙌🙌🙌🙌😌🙌

[@galacticb.o.g]

Congrats to all of the winners! And thanks to showing off all of the other films at the end!

[@jordanwade517]

Wow! Congrats to everyone! That best VFX short was stunning

[@DankFarrik]

All of these were *so* well earned! I enjoyed each and everyone. Heck, even a lot of them that didn't take home a winning were fantastic. Good work to every creator involved in the contest. Your submissions were fantastic!

[@Zazool]

Wow these are so cool, congrats to all the winners 🏆 👏 you deserve it, and congrats to everyone who managed to submit a short in the time given, better luck next time

[@ad.i]

This was amazing. The submissions were amazing. The contest was amazing. What the heck.

[@TccStudios501]

Thanks so much for making this contest! Whilst nothing ever came of my film, I have learnt so much in the creation of it and hopefully my next film (being a bit less rushed) will be a lot better, unfortunately after effects corrupted a bit of my entry so the quality was a lot worse than I was expecting 🙁

[@iron.hearts]

Incredible work! This was an awesome idea, great to see that so many could participate

[@Flint_Inferno]

Fallen Angel looks like it could have been a trailer for a new video game

[@arquitensproduction8001]

Massive congratulations to all who won and kudos to everyone who participated in the competition. Personally it was my first rodeo in animation contest and this has been a pleasant experience. Hopefully there will be more of this contest and until then, I'll keep improving my skill (and hardware) to properly match other contestants! Thank you Cinematic Captures, juries, and sponsors!

[@emperorgizmo3014]

Lol, I love the Star Trek weapons on that corvette carving up those imp vessels. 🙂

[@scoutbumblebee3601]

Eyy looking forward to this! Congrats to everyone who entered :D

[@hasaansamad2995]

Its amazing how the star wars fan community can make better storylines and films in 3 minutes than disney could in 3 whole movies. This is what star wars should be, not something to divide the fanbase but to unite them all and show what star wars actually means to us. Well done everyone and may the force be with you.

[@NomadicYT_]

The Convor Strike VFX blew my mind

[@EndThusIAm]

I'm so psyched over my two favorites making it in Best Animated! Knew the Vader one deserved the top spot!

[@grahamroberts7172]

So thankful to everyone who organised this. So much fun and some of the films are unbelievable! Love from Star Wars: Padawan team x

[@mikusfajigus]

Just wanted to extend to you a hearty congratulations for your win. Your team out forward an excellent short.

[@daiblanny]

its moments like this that will always give me hope and joy from Star Wars as a whole here's to one of the greatest series out there and a round of applause to everyone who participated

[@TonyTheTostone]

Honestly to see peoples love for Star Wars, their own stories, their own ideas, in their own image put to film is honestly what matters most and what is best part about this whole competition. Well done.

[@dayjobproductions2198]

Big thanks to Cinematic Captures for putting this competition on. Huge congratulations to the Teams behind Star Wars: Padawan, Fallen Angel and Vis Divine Origins, as well as the other prize winners and everyone else who put a film in. This competition was an absolute blast to be a part of, and we at DayJob are ecstatic to win best sound, as well as be placed runner up for best live action short. If you are interested in the work that went into making Old Foes, Subscribe to our Channel, we will be posting the BTS of the film, as well as our future projects. Once again, Big ups to everyone involved with this competition. It was great fun to be a part of, and we are looking forward to competing in the next one.

[@LuisHumanoide]

this contest gave us incredible productions worthy of being official Star Wars shorts and being released in a theatre

[@kjw79]

I feel like the fan favourites in 2nd and 3rd place could have been featured in this video, considering 2 months of work went into it. This was a great contest, thanks for instigating all the unique content we’ve enjoyed!

Congrats all! My favourites were fallen angel, against all odds and uprising so well done to them all

This was an absolute treat to watch :) When do we think another competition like this will come around?

[@_tenebris25_]

Placing bets on Against All Odds! Edit: Damn it got 3rd place in Audience Choice. Was really hoping it would get best editing or animation

[@jahking1617]

So many talents !!! The maul Kenobi duel is really impressive

[@DavidDavid-lr6uu]

0:40 An X-wing flying to Mars? I need explanation!

[@molnarsmovies]

Fallen Angele is shot by shot out of the Vaders comic. It was pretty awesome to see the comic come to life. All the films were magnificent, and it's extraordinary to see such passion and devotion to the Star Wars universe and what an impact it has left and so many lives. Congratulations to each and every one of you. You're all winners. The force is strong with you all.

[@Tesko249]

Very epic films. Kudos to all the creators!

[@broman3364]

Man I wish i could be apart of these films. Just being apart of something so special among fans it's just something else. Wonder if there is any acting gigs or voice actors because this is amazing stuff!

[@fulcrum6008]

*"This is where the fun begins!"*

[@sukorileakbatt294]

dude Fallen Angel is next level.. i didn't know it was animated til you said about the shoulder placement

[@jedimago3128]

just the intro, it's already worth the like

[@zakaryperrin7126]

I think if memory had the same level of animation as fallen angel, it would’ve won. All of these were incredible

[@arquitensproduction8001]

Thank you very much! I surely need to step up my animation skill. Hopefully there will be more of this!

Starkiller in his sith suit it the dark and reckless character that kylo ren should have been, we really miss an agile, badass looking reckless sith in the star wars universe, not you maul, you’re perfect but we need another one, and starkiller’s breathing is just so well used, thats the shit i love

I've never seen this many fan films in such a short period of time! I love it! Is there a Playlist to watch them all?

[@CinematicCaptures]

They’re all up on CinematicCaptures.com/watch

[@The-Blue-Knight]

I love the Lego one And the Vander / Padme made me cry. So good.

[@GUMMRUCHK]

The fact someone in the Rebel Alliance thought yes let's attack Vader at Padme's shrine seems like a severe miscalculation by the rebels. lmao

[@Blentux]

Would've been so glad to participate but unfortunately I couldn't manage to...maybe next time? Congrats to all winners!

I just watched one of the submissions called the final mission and it was so unintentionally funny 😂

[@rockybeats8682]

There is a love of Star Wars, a heart found here in these vids that was not in the Disney Trilogy.

[@Zictor]

When is the next one? I had no idea it was happening, and would love to take part!

[@kyanhudson6831]

im just glad i submitted something, no matter the quality (: so glad alex won in the end

[@DoomguyIsGrinningAtYou.]

Starkiller looks fricken terrifying. I love it!

[@ernestolandazury5047]

I don't care if Fallen Angel has good animation or if the lightsaber doesn't look right. The meaning behind the story is what makes it so damn good and that's why it's number 1.

[@DarkAgent]

If only I could, I would've voted for so many more. All of these were great!

[@deathinmyshadows2417]

The VFX looks like the real movies. This is amazing

What's the music at 1:07 it sounds really good I know it's a remade mandalorian theme but I couldn't find it even with the links in the description please does someone know how it's named ?
