Why make a Star Wars fan film?
If you had asked me when I was seven years old, what film I would make if I ever got the skill, I would have said: "Star Wars" - Normally Star Wars film are made by a thousand people for a lot of money. This one is made by a few for almost nothing.
We made this film because we love Star Wars and the art of filmmaking. It's a tribute to the old school cinematic style and an experiment to see if we could make a twenty-minute live-action Star Wars story and still retain that wonderful Star Wars feeling.
A lot of time, love and energy went into making this film, and it was an absolute blast. Hope you enjoy it! May the force be with you, always! - Jesper Tønnes

[@hithere_1967]

Even the new trilogy? That thing is atrocious!!!!

[@murasaki848]

I'm 58. I was disappointed with the prequels largely because they seemed incoherent, the first two movies appearing to veer far from the original lore, then the third trying to patch everything up, and the acting and dialogue overall subpar and cringy. But that was nothing compared to the Disney movies, which are just short of abysmal, so much so I stopped watching any of it after Solo. Frankly parts of the EU (Heir to the Empire trilogy, etc) and fan fic both satire and serious are the only things which have kept my interest and imagination: The Last Padawan, Darth Maul: Apprentice, Troops, For the Empire, Scene 38 Reimagined, etc, even really weird ones like Dark Resurrection.

Four years after the fall of Jedi and they are now only known as "magical monks"...hmmm

[@tedgbird]

Mario Harvey well yeah the empire instantly spread propaganda about them and besmirched their name. Also most jedi isolated themselves to being religious people who would aid those who need it so it makes sense for them to be seen as “magical monks”

[@jonkeathegamer]

@@tedgbird it would make sense for young children but in only four years, the galaxy would still be used to the idea of Jedi. It was only four years since they were defeated. No propaganda can straight up wipe your memory and create urban legends. Sure, a force technique may exist but imagine going through the trouble of brainwashing every minor civilian in n entire galaxy.

[@tedgbird]

Jonkea The Gamer jedi we’re still pretty rare to see and were already disliked and unknown to some places, at the start of the clone wars there were only ~10,000 jedi and by the end ~1,000 to “protect” a whole galaxy so it would’ve been more likely to never see a jedi and think they’re mythical creatures than to not to

[@jonkeathegamer]

@@tedgbird they were the police of the galaxy and while they may not have to every planet most have at least heard of them. Also, these guys seemed to have been hired to look for things specifically in relation to Jedi. They should have some clue who the Jedi are. At this point, the Jedi weren't some ancient Myth. They were simply thought to have been eradicated.

[@tedgbird]

Jonkea The Gamer the empire spread galaxy wide propaganda constantly and instantly no mater if you knew of them or not you would over time listen to the messages you were constantly being told which were that the jedi were an old religion of traitors to the empire/republic

Practise writing and directing your actors and you'll be churning out some fantastic shorts. Keep it up

one of the best fuckin fanfilms i seen in about 3 years. no bullshit make more man please. the sound effects, 2017 will be the year of good lightsaber sound effects for fanfilms. since everyone in 2016 used that shit ass disney sound pack with 6 lightsaber clashes and 2 shitty bladelock effects

Thank you very much! A lot of work went into the sound design! We really appreciate the kind words!

[@larryburne3068]

Jesper Tønnes ya man. if i may... next film bro, please use that bladelock noise that anakin and dooku get into in attack of the clones when dooku is about to execute obi wan. it sounds like a "DJUUUUUHHHHH" noise and then the blades squeal. and its very loud and menacing. one of my favorite saber noises. i once saw a fanfilm with that noise used over 10 times as a bladelock lmfao

[@larryburne3068]

Ration Hans ya. i had a huge issue with it tho.... they did exactly what i didnt want them to do which was use the same sound package i just mentioned in my main comment. they had about 6 or less clash noises and 1 bladelock noise. on top of that, maul's saber design was pathetic, they coulda got a better prop. maul's saber is very basic in the movies u just gotta mold they emitter (which can take time) OTHERWISE, it was good. i gave it a 7/10 total because of the sound effects. everything else was great tho!

I really loved this for a bunch of reasons, the classic scene wipes and music really gave it the feel of the original movies. The fact that a Jedi can be scary to non-jedi not just a vaguely benevolent swordsman. The Inquisitor was awesome and clearly a more confident duelist which makes sense given the padawan lost his master. The very last scene 👌 The passion star wars fans put into their projects is just amazing. Keep up the awesome work!

(At least he went down fighting against General Kenobi - one of his biggest/longest standing rivals. ....... Though ironically, .... he was killed by "heartburn" in their last fight.)

That was a very well written short. The ending was not entirely predictable and it was a wholly pleasant surprise when he cut his Padawan braid and left it on the corpse of the inquisitor sent to kill him. He over and his last enemy, his fear, and overcame the evil sent to dispatch him. The symbolism is powerful and yet simple. Of the many fan films I've viewed, I believe this is one of the best I've seen to date.

Agreed. Lens Flare a bit too prominent. I was looking for reasons why the audience was seeing them so much around Padawan and not the Inquisitor which distracted me from the talent.

[@djmtott]

Yup, multiple lightsaber images were completely unneeded and distracting.

[@PBuffdaddy00]

If you thought that fight was cartoony, you need to watch the commentary on the Blu-ray. McGregor and Christensen were fighting at full speed. It isn't sped up and no stuntmen. The only CG in that fight was the parts where they were jumping and the obvious spots like when Vader gets burnt up. Now, the Yoda fight in Attack of the Clones is a different story.

Thomas Bourns still better than Disney

[@briansnc2008]

Ok let’s not get crazy here...better than disney

[@NeatNat]

@@AmericanSone5280 I guess that's your opinion but you have to understand that this is objectively lower quality with pretty bad acting and ok choreography. Impressive for a fan project, but there's no contest when comparing this to a Hollywood film.

[@petercalvert4793]

@@NeatNat it easily beats the Disney trilogy. Not the stand alone films.

[@ciaranmcguinness8900]

Really good, but honest question here, why does every Star Wars fanfilm end up in the Woods/Forest

[@professormeme8951]

Ciaran McGuinness earth sucks

[@michaelh9610]

Because fan films don't have the budget to turn real subway stations into movie sets and shutdown the happening of life in urban or suburban areas, so they go for realism in the simplest, low budget way possible.

[@sithplayground5619]

Ciaran McGuinness where else are they going to go though really? Can't do the city, mountains are a bitch. A beach perhaps..

[@herranonymous4995]

Where do you expect them to film on mars ?

[@Padraignotlad]

I would say it's a reflection of the Light side of the force. The Dark Side would probably be more like a Desert.

probably best fan film I've seen

[@disciple366]

burntheashesband Have you never seen the Darth Maul fan film?

[@burntheashesband]

yes. I liked it for its action sequence but I like that this one incorporates more story than just action scenes

[@DeViL76950]

If you like fan films about a story and emotion i advise you jakku the first wave, 3mn, no action scenes and however the best fan film i've ever seen

[@burntheashesband]

I'll check it out

[@canceritself1854]

What about the Han Solo fan film?

[@TheRealBeatMaster]

VFX were spot on

[@darianmattos4055]

[@lukefortune1976]

This was REALLY good, loved the "bad feeling' and taking the saber at the end.

[@carlosrodriguez414]

The best fan film yet. Short and simple yet well done(great special effects)with a Lightwave duel and a positive, hopeful ending. Thanks.

[@EricTravers]

Have you seen Darth Maul: Apprentice? That is one excellent short. Do yourself a favor.

[@Luke101]

Holy shit. This is quality. Fantastic work mate, one of the best fan films I have ever seen

[@313KAYCEE]

did you see darth maul apprentice?

[@nholt]

It sucked.

[@DJTanner-xg8bg]

Ya it was almost as good as the real Star Wars

[@kyleelsbernd9851]

Fucas101 the darth maul one is awesome

[@LordTyran]

Fucas101 I would have to agree with u. This was an excellent movie, but it was short (obviously due to it being a fan film...) I just wish it was longer and had more locations. I enjoyed every star wars film and really enjoyed the duel in this movie! 10/10 100% and a great fan film!

[@jeffrokraus5483]

The acting is VERY GOOD! Some parts of the script are so-so, other parts better. The story is simple, but works well. The story also has payoffs, for the viewer, and nice progression. Overall -- great quality filming. This is at the high-end of the fan films. Nice job, guys!

[@gh05t_mv]

i actually thought the acting, especially by the henchmen was the ONLY bad part of this film. loved the rest.

[@mrt5293]

@@gh05t_mv , I agree. There's a few of these fan films about relating to the sw universe, this was a little way down on the acting scale tbh, shame, good plot though.

[@odis8998]

No, the high end is Darth Maul: apprentices

[@JasonGabler]

The best acting in this film is during the morning after the light saber duel with the perfect portrayal of a dead inquistor.

[@shkotayd9749]

That was frankly excellent, in every sense of the word. I felt that when he saw the star destroyer. The actor communicated how serious this was going to get. The Inquisitor? Also excellent. That look at the end of surprise then a sort of "Well done...." smile. That little breath at the end omg xD

[@novanic4071]

dude this is honestly a great film, like of course there were flaws, like any movie. all I can say I great job I am indeed impressed

[@kenhibbard]

Great show! Loved the ship scene, gave me chills! Thank you!

[@Psychlist1972]

The whole movie budget went into The Inquisitor's costume :) Whole Star Destroyer hovering somewhere nearby, and no one looked for the inquisitor all night or into the next day? Still enjoyed it. Nice job.

[@ted-3dotmov]

this was by far one of the best fan films I've ever seen!

You did EVERYTHING RIGHT! Right down to the intro, it was just like the originals, your one of the few fan films to truly make it feel like Star Wars, and not just feel like the Star Wars universe! You did a great job!

So much work! So awesome, thank you!

[@taylerannsupergirl5587]

Love this film. Love the little touches like the two moons in the background. Would love to have seen them at night during the fight. This gives me hope that further Star Wars movies can survive beyond the skywalker saga.

[@yasir38971]

HOLLY SITH!! I was not expecting this, I was sucked in right from the start! job well is done, sir!!! the music, effects, directing the story absolutely amazing especially for a fan film

[@callinmygirl]

I enjoy Star Wars fan films, but generally I know that they can be pretty trashy. They almost always revolve around a fight, or some figure we know. Or just doom for a runaway jedi. They generally lack characterization, pacing, and all happen very quickly, regardless of the run time of the film. This is the first I've seen that felt about a journey, lasting over days. While your padawan character did feel a tad lifeless, just because he didn't talk much, the imperial agents were all given the time to flesh out some basic personality. Your cuts were great, your music, sound fx, lightsaber fx were all on point. However you did the imperial ships was incredible. Even your opening crawl felt very star wars. No colorful language and most importantly, no assumption of previous viewing. You just laid out of the facts of the story. Would absolutely love to see more from you, especially if you take the time to make these films about characters and their personal struggles. Incredible job.

[@GPKgrubbierpeakttm]

Colin Magerle then you make a film

[@mattluck2826]

GPK it's criticism not just bashing

[@marvinh7352]

I liked the samurai move at the end of the fight; the single cut and stand without turning.

[@skoutah]

In actuality, it's not the Star Wars movies that revolve around the characters, it's the novels and comics that give the background and lore.

[@firstsonofthesea7938]

Colin Magerle not to mention that padawan is a grown man and he looks like a knight

[@christophergillette7167]

I love the very samurai-style end to the fight, but with a Star Wars twist. This vid is a great example of taking your resources and assets and using them to the full.

[@rjonboy7608]

Cutting the padawan training braid at the end was a brilliant touch. It felt more relevant than luke's or rey's adhoc training.
