I love how you could see the Rebels gradually being worn down as the battle went on while the Imperial hordes seemed nearly endless.

[@neuronoc.7343]

A homebrew animation with a budget of a few cup noodles is somehow miles better than an entire trilogy with millions of Disney™ bucks. Great animation.

[@FarseerAnimation]

We were actually only allowed one cup of noodles and had to share it with the cat

[@neuronoc.7343]

A big thanks to everyone who helped out on this one! I couldn't have done it without you!

[@echobase5774]

Great job!

[@JeanLucCaptain]

i really want to see this done proper justice in HD. i love that you have given us the TRUE POWER OF THE EMPIRE! I AM SOVEREIGN, I AM THE HARBINGER IF YOUR DOOM!!! also the Comms Catter is very difficult to understand, maybe add subtitles?

[@aidennoah5559]

Best video ever!

[@floseatyard8063]

How the hell did the hyperspace rams work? 3 isds accidentaly hyperjumped into an executor and they were obliterated, also starfighters pass through the sovereigns shields like its nothing? Particle shields are designed to protect against physical projectiles, including some bombers going to attack some exposed things. They would have just been obliterated, like at scarif. Lame rebels win imperials always loses plot that you see every single battle.

[@Pilot-lc1ld]

I wish this could be in Disney plus and become a movie somehow

[@samschellhase8831]

It's not true Star Wars without at least one Wilhelm Scream, great job!

[@WhatPlantsCrave-ur1ht]

This was extremely well made, and I loved seeing the original ships from the old X-wing and Tie-Fighter games, like the Gunboats and the Freighters! Great job with the color variations on the fighters, droids, and pilots!

[@chendetails]

A really nostalgic film for the true Star Wars fan. Loved the use of non canon ships, sure brings you back to the old days.

[@texasball5847]

I like how the blockade runner actually did something unlike the Star Wars movies.

[@alysynbourque3570]

I kept hearing Beavis over the coms yelling, "Fire! Fire! Fire!" That was a very satisfying fight scene. Well done, both action and dialogue.

[@emperorflare8911]

I Like that the empire was able to put up a good fight, with the TIEs and gunboats actually causing a great deal of damage, not to mention finally seeing a Sovereign-class and different imperial fighters and warships. Great job!

[@rebel4047]

OMG, this is perfect, i always wanted to see a short movie without the main heroes. Mainly the actual battle in space. Well done :D

[@JeanLucCaptain]

i wish i could understand the coms chatter, it's hard to follow.

[@FarseerAnimation]

@@JeanLucCaptain Yeah, the audio got screwed up thanks to my bad hearing. I set subtitles to appear if you select them though.

[@JeanLucCaptain]

@@FarseerAnimation it's really cool to see a proper imperial fleet deploying all thier best stuff. ALSO SCREW THR HYPERSPACE RAM😂.

This is more entertaining than the entire sequel trilogy

[@rev.jeremyhall]

I scream everytime a new type of ship shows up! "OMG THE OUTRIDER!" - "HOLY CRAP, IS THAT THE GHOST?!?!" - "WHAT IS A HEADHUNTER DOING HERE?!?!"

[@brianwhedon8442]

The ship seen undocking from the Nebulon-B is the Otana. At first I thought it was the Ghost as well.

[@TheZeroAssassin]

THis is brilliant. I got lost in this, it was great fun. THis was better than both the last movies. Combined

[@shadow7988]

I just don't understand how passionate and highly talented fans like this never seem to get into the industry to work on the actual films, yet complete and utter hacks like Jar Jar Abrams And Kennedy get to just commit cultural vandalism and not even get fired. If Disney hired people with 1/10th the passion of people like Farseer or Skyforge, Star Wars wouldn't be a corpse of a franchise right now. I wish the movies had space battles that were this in depth and intense, but I guess all we'll ever get is Battle of Yavin and Endor. With the best we can get out of nu-wars being a hammerhead corvette's name being taken way too literally and somehow destroying two star destroyers on it's own.

[@wither5673]

love the attention to detail with the mercenary ships.

[@clpfox470]

I see that catapult pilot got promoted to an Admiral haha, amazing as always

[@dougie275]

i like the style of this. its like a cross between rebels and the cutscenes from the old lucas arts games like x wing and x wing alliance

[@adarkwind4712]

Was thinking GameCube Rogue squadron

[@Admiral8Q]

X-Wing, TIE-Fighter, X-Wing vs TIE-Fighter, and of course, X-Wing Alliance. ;)

[@moistmike4150]

Hard to believe that with Hyperspace travel and technology light years ahead of Earth's, my phone gets way better reception than those Rebel pilots.

[@shadekerensky3691]

Damn good shit, I adore all of these videos, Battletech and STar Wars alike. Please continue doing them all as you can. nwn

[@FarseerAnimation]

I certainly hope to do so!

[@kaze987]

Great use of the gunboat! My fav ship to fly back in TIE Fighter. So OP

[@garthstewart6099]

Wow! Great job on this; getting “Rebellion” and “X Wing Alliance” vibes from this, and I love it!!!

[@jonathancooke6092]

This is one of the BEST Star Wars space battle animations that I have ever come across! It was also long enough to REALLY enjoy it rather than most which last only a couple minutes at most.

[@koeh07]

Although I couldn't understand the Voice Acting from time to time, the passion shown is cleary and the filming, animation, battles, and ships were just great and done so well just like George Lucas, fantastic work you guys!

[@crimsovlog4073]

Awesome video! Your sense of framing, movement and pacing is on point with some of the best out there in regards to space combat. The camera was rarely still and felt very organic in its movements. Well done! Also, I love the diversity of ships in your videos. There are far more than just xwings and ties, and I love seeing the greater diversity in these battles. Keep up the awesome work!

[@analtubegut66]

This is up there with some of the best star war content made. Well done and much appreciated. Loved it

[@gene108]

I really appreciate you putting in capital ships blasting each other in the video. So much attention gets paid to fighter combat, I always wonder what capital ship combat might look like.

[@davidguerra6893]

Very well executed. Reminds me sooo much of X-Wing / Tie Fighter Games... film had me remembering many of the missions I played as a kid.

[@thejanusproject32]

Now THIS is Star Wars. Well done. Why this doesn't have more views, is beyond me

[@jonathans9710]

I love all the angles that everything isn't all on a 2d dimensional plane and all the ships would be at different angles of each other.

[@nukimemes314]

Empire: we have big ships and lots of fighters. Rebels : we have Space Russians

[@Arendelft]

Actual ship to ship combat was a seriously plus for this one, there is a lot of positive I can say about that and few negatives! The dialogue needed a bit of help here or there but for the most part, this was a really solid short movie! I was very impressed!

[@josephbrandon549]

Great video! Though that ending really funny. There is no way the Rebels would come out on top against an SSSD and it's support fleet. Not to mention there'd be a lot more TIE Defenders than 2. Dream on. lol

[@cmw12]

Nice work, and thank you. I feel like Christopher Walken, but I’ve got a fever, and the only cure is more B-Wing. If you want to up the detail and artistry, talk to the people who made Battle if the Dreadnaughts (Eckhardt’s Ladder, et al). On another note, the bombers (Y-Wings, B-Wings should really be able to absorb a bit more punishment. That’s kind of their thing.)

[@xuttuh5260]

Amazing animation and great storytelling! But: Whoever commanded this raid on rebel side should be demoted to cadet on the spot... The rebel strike force stayed far too long in the combat zone, allowing for the empire to bring in reinforcements.

[@michaelwellen2866]

I was thinking this the entire video. Given that the rebels don't have that many resources, this is pretty much a defeat for them, even though they knocked out the ship.

[@super-zw3ep]

Id say it depends on when this takes place, is it during the time when they were a stateless rebellion moving around or was it when the rebellion was in full swing and they just kicked the empire off coruscant?

[@shadow7988]

@@super-zw3ep The latter. This was definitely a victory, albeit a highly costly one, for the rebellion. Going off the older videos, their objective was to track down and sink the Sovereign anyway. At some point the were going to have to deal with that ship in frontal combat anyway.

[@VestedUTuber]

I can agree that it was costly, but taking out a _Sovereign_ class Star Dreadnought is a MASSIVE victory just for denying the Empire a MAJOR asset.

[@Fenris77]

Really well made video. The battle felt authentic as the Rebels got worn down until they managed to take down that Eclipse class.

[@goldengriffin4715]

3:15 didn't think I would see that rebel ship that Commander Soto's Nephew was in. The ship in Iron Squadron, i believe that is what the name is.

That video was great! I love space battles and 3D animations and this was just that, with good editing and nice unfolding of events! Loved the explosions FXs, too

[@Rhron]

I truly enjoyed watching this battle, seeing all classical game designs in this fight.

[@Falchion1984]

If I had to make a suggestion for this, otherwise spectacular, piece, I'd recommend adding captions. The problem could be on my end but, aside from "This is amazing!", the phrase that sprang to mind most often was "What did he say?".

[@adinocc2042]

This is awesome! I think the Disney ppl should watch this to learn how to do a proper Star Wars space battle for once!

[@Lance-Urbanian-MNB]

The length of this is incredible. Very good work!

[@chissstardestroyer]

I'll bet you this's Supreme Commander Skywalker's initial command in "Dark Empire" as a field officer for the fleet; and *he* is on the Sovereign-class ISD.

[@flakboy1000]

By far, the best fan animation I've ever seen, amazing work.

[@mythrimax]

I know taking down a super star destroyer is worth celebrating, but they don't seem too broken up about losing as many personnel as they did. Still a great video though, well done!

[@theascendunt9960]

Simply glorious! I like how alien pilots are in the rebel fleet. Not something we saw much even in the OG movies.

[@blacpower4554]

That was the Super Star Destroyer Eclipse that they destroyed, I wonder what Admiral or Moth was responsible for losing that Super Star Destroyer..

[@andyb1653]

No, that was a Sovereign-Class (a smaller version of the Eclipse). If the Eclipse was a standard ISD, the Sovereign would be like a Victory-2.

[@esburnside]

I swear, the guy at the end, "Uhh... can I still get my medal?" sounds like Brian Posehn..

[@Renserin]

I am seriously impressed. I got so sucked into this that I'm shocked anyone on the Alliance side made it out alive.

[@bothanjedirogue]

This was a great video. Now animate the entire Dark Empire series!

[@FlorderreyVello]

Wow. The red X-Wing with the blue nose became my favorite thru the video. I thougt he didn't make it. What a great surprise at the end. You made great animation, but you can drama too.

[@FarseerAnimation]

Thanks! That one was my personal favorite and is a recurring character of sorts in my other videos. I just didn't have the heart to blow him up!

[@Matonyoutube98]

really fun, and you got the flying animations really spot on with how they feel in the original trilogy, bravo!

[@bene5805]

One of the best space battles I've ever seen!

[@thethoughtcriminal8786]

Beautifully done. I liked how you showed the rebels actually using tactics to take down the destroyers. That's the one thing I hate about Disney, the only tactic they use is ramming ships into each other.

[@codystell8523]

Amazing, even 2 years later. I prefer this to many of the new "short films" being released around this time for that contest

[@LostInTheFarmersMarket]

I like this one, it's got a good amount of dogfights, a bit of maneuvering and decent voice acting. It's good overall 8 of 10.

[@Rayle75]

[@justincase939]

[@kvproductions2581]

there was feeling in the voice acting but i just couldnt underestand anything from almost any of the pilots lol the animation was really good, it looked a bit unfinished, but this of course is a fan project and honestly it was still very enjoyable!

[@seaandstorm]

Nice work, the pacing of the battle and framing was really nice. One thing that has always bugged me about star wars fighter ship designs is why don't they have a tail gunner? It's like 75% of their casualties come from the rear

[@JasonAguirre]

[@generaljemssmjem437]

pretty nice animation, and i like how one of the rebel leaders sounds like he's russian

[@pqsnet]

Also, this was still better than Disney Star Wars... Except Rouge One... minus "Im one with the force, the force is with me"...

[@papachi4178]

Very nicely done, if I had to pick one thing I'd improve, it would be some of the dialogue. It's one thing if the lines makes sense like "stay on target" but "three marks at 210" when the enemy is in the forward quarter doesn't fit. Still, very well done. Edit: Using the degree system, 210, would be just past 180 degrees (about 7 o'clock) which is where the imperial fighters came from when the gold squadron pilot said it.

[@DarkSapiens]

That was quite impressive! Amazing work!

[@WellWisdom.]

This was very well done.

[@leipajuusto2964]

i love that scene where mc80 and star destroyer duke it out. We dont see that too much because everything is usualy centered around one to 10 starfighters who navigate the battlefield.

[@caedes4367]

This is REALLY good, hyperspace ramming is not really a favourite of mine, but still. You did great

[@charleslennonbaker]

[@raybarry4307]

No real pilots would be that cheery after loosing that my friends and comrades

[@obadel5092]

What a costly victory so many rebels down ..good job tank you.

[@AxonMediaSeattle]

What stands out the most to me is that the speed of the fighters in this short feel spot on. A lot of the fan made Star Wars dogfights I've seen animate the fighters in a way that feels really slow. I'd be interested to hear about your animation process.

[@FarseerAnimation]

Thanks! I honestly just try to recreate the movement from the original trilogy's battles. Rather than just letting the movement of the fighters direct the scene I try to use the camera's motion to sort of create a more spectacular if less realistic effect.

[@kombatace7971]

Ah yes, the slavs have joined our team this time

[@andreat2587]

That was awesome! Any chance we can get some captions? I always have trouble making stuff out in radio chatter and it sounds like I missed some great lines in there.

[@FarseerAnimation]

Thanks! I've enabled user captions and I'll try to add my own captions when I can figure out how their odd control panel works. Either way I'm planning on making an HD version since the audio on this is pretty off.

[@VulcanSpock]

The animation has a KoTOR feel to it, those FMVs in KoTOR.
