Hopefully the algorithm will notice this video. It deserves more views.

Currently it has more upvotes on Reddit than here on Yiutube.

[@pvpworld]

Disney will flag it and take all monetization like theyve done with other fan films though

[@ZaneOlson]

@@pvpworld to be fair to Disney the law is pretty clear and you can’t just use a company’s music in a monetized fan film and that is what is automatically claimed when a copyright claim is issued. I for instance couldn’t monetize this video even if I wanted to cause I’m using music made by Samuel Kim Music, and even though I have his permission the automated copyright protection recognized his music as soon as I uploaded I’m the video.

[@mortegae]

Absolutely agree!

[@mortegae]

@@ZaneOlson I just contacted you! Maybe you may consider a rescoring for this one?

[@Fate-of-the-Galaxy]

Really like the unique touches of no sound in space, pilot that actually ejects, and rapid danger of ISD.

[@user-ur1zf1rk3c]

The quality is insane, wow.

[@ZaneOlson]

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@blairthomastoews]

This was really really good man. First time I have ever seen a pilot actually ejecting out of an x-wing, which was awesome to see. Thanks for doing this. These fan films are where it's at. Great work.

[@ZaneOlson]

Thanks! I've been waiting for an ejection myself ever since episode 4, I'm surprised how rare it is

[@hughjasse7636]

@@ZaneOlson Well in space it's more dangerous, esp. with battle debris flying all around and the pilot in just a flight suit. Then you have to hope your side can recover you before your air runs out, or pray that the other wants you as a prisoner and won't just leave you out there. So most just go down with the ship. ( also TiE's also have ejections systems )

[@TheLostDefender]

[@WatchVidsMakeLists]

The dogfight was really kinetic, I kept thinking "this asshole should put his S-foils in attack position" and when he did, it was sick as hell. Really made me feel the tension, and I'm a sucker for improbable flight maneuvers.

[@smythxl560]

I just watched a video about people no longer liking star wars because of the constant fanbase arguing. Watching this just puts so much hope in me, amazing job!

[@kapanimations]

I really liked the effect of everything being silent until the x-wing entered the atmosphere it was pulled off really well!

[@darthvegan]

I loved the silence in space. *Chef's kiss*

[@garicrewsen1128]

Yup. That eject was awesome. The stall was icing on the cake.

[@denisnadeau865]

The Force is strong With this one ! Love the ISD ! The x-wing on fire, ejection and crash were awsom !

[@lucasblaise]

It has to be said. On top of your gorgeous imagery and 3d rendering, your capture of cinematic principals to tell your story without a single line of dialogue is top notch. First video I've seen of yours, but clearly, you know what you're doing and how to do it. It takes your art to a whole new level knowing how to deliver this style. I'm just starting to look at Unreal, Unity and/or Blender to start animation in video production, and your video is a gold standard. Nicely done.

[@Mhj-76]

”May the render be with you, always”

[@craigbaker6382]

Fun! Hard not to really enjoy X-wing vs TIE fighter or a desert planetscape with stuff flying through. Love the statues stuff. Part of what I really enjoy about the concepts in Star Wars is the idea that whatever civilization is current in the story is just using the tech from eons ago and that there may be lost ancient stuff everywhere just as there seems to be here on earth!) so kudos for keeping that feeling alive in this. You are solidly inspiring my continued learning of Blender.

[@Najolve]

Can we all take a moment and really appreciate that sweet stash

[@ZaneOlson]

He goes through a ton of moustache wax

[@Akareyon]

Lots of praise already, so just to add: very impressive how you succeeded in making the X-Wing - and the action - feel _fast_.

[@tacpaws]

The fan vid is amazing!

[@FarseerAnimation]

The use of a physical parachute fits Star Wars surprisingly well!

[@tokenghost7777]

This felt more like StarWars than anything Disney has put out. Good job.

[@dbaider9467]

Hats off to you. The massive statues carved out of the rock was really imaginative and should belong in something with a huge budget. Stellar creative work.

[@larnregis]

You deserve a thousand likes already alone for actually making sure there is no sound in space. Only when they entered the atmosphere. Such a subtle yet amazingly well done effect.

[@juststuff5216]

1:54 - when he cuts the power, then brings it back on ... great imagination, great work! Just wish it was around 2 hours long ....

[@kconrad5893]

Admittedly I’m not much of a Star Wars fan but this is absolutely incredible!!! I would never guess that this wasn’t professionally made by a big studio! Bravo!!!!

[@randomobserver8168]

This is some of the most beautifully rendered Star Wars work on KZbin now. Kudos.

[@ZaneOlson]

Thank you!

Re-entry burn made me smile

[@markmuldoon805]

Nice simple story line, done well. Tight graphics. One of the better attempts to replicate atmospheric flight. I look forward to more of your work.

[@aralornwolf3140]

I really liked how the X-Wing pilot actually used tactics which were/are used by atmospheric fighters while in atmosphere. I especially appreciated the realism you brought the fight, the way the changing acceleration actually moved the pilots body! Great Job! The downside is... that solar system is an absolute mess... there is just too many massive things in close proximity to be realistic (the gravity would have destroyed them or kicked them out of the system a very long time ago).

[@sbossink]

Wow! I would for sure recommend you to send this to Disney as open solicitation since it's so incredibly well made! The graphics, the speed, the details, actually all is Star Wars genuine so well done. Can't wait to see the other parts!

[@thumpin250]

Very fun. Nice to see a legitimate ejection. I don't think I've seen a fan film ever portray it.

[@MASTERUSSR]

Silent approach in space--love it!

[@modetraining2961]

[@Chrisx954]

Brings a tear to my eye, this is what i want out of a star wars movie, not some damn trade embargo talks.

[@dansub9795]

I must say, this is way waaaay better than what Disney Lucasfilm is putting out. The 3 minutes is worth more than the 3 sequel trilogies, Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett and Kenobi put together. Fantastic. Gary Kurtz, Dennis Muren, Joe Johnston would be proud. 😅

[@the_part_time_geek]

This is top tier work. Your composition is excellent, camera work, animation... about as close to perfect as one can get! I'm just now starting to play around with Blender, and seeing stuff like this drives home just how powerful of a tool it can be. That couple with such obvious creator talent and skill... yeah, great work!

[@Dan_Kornfeld]

Brilliantly done! The lack of engine and flight sounds from the X Wings, prior to entering the planet's outer atmosphere, was beautifully, and subtlety impactful. Keep doing what you do!

[@DJVARAO]

Fantastic work! It is impressive at all levels! Bravo! It feels like a short for Mandalorian.

[@WaterLettuceProductions]

The sound design on this is amazing, the animation too. Amazing job.

[@tyrellfilmcorp]

Great work! This was one of the few times watching any Star Wars film that it felt like the speed and the movements of the ships during a dog fight felt "real"! It wasn't over edited, just the right amount of chaos. Most films will add too many unrealistic camera placements and moves to the point where it becomes boring to watch. This one had me wanting more.

[@GenSen]

Dude this was insane, love it so much cant wait to see the next part.

[@gilama4393]

I LOVED the fact that you muted the sounds in space! It's so much better! I've always been wondering why they have been using the same audio in space and on planets, since the Lightspeed Scene in Episode VIII. This Episode didn't do much right, but this was awesome and so is your Fan-Film!!!

Rarely comment but had to here to say well done and thank you. Obviously a passion project, takes far more time that what appears on screen , and was done in the midst of everything else going on in your life. Very well done, a heartfelt gesture to the franchise/fans, and something to be proud of. You did it! You made a contribution to SW and it is [ROTJ Emperor voice] "gooooooood." But seriously, well done -- and thank you. =)

Ho ho ho hoooo BOY! Gonna be waiting for the next part of this for SURE. Great work guys, excellent attention to detail in this video, Great physics and flow, top quality foley work and excellent music to bring out the emotions of the Director's vision! definitely one of the best fan movies I've seen so far. When making videos like this, attention to detail is key. every frame needs to be overloaded with details of the scene, right down to the scratches in the paint, and collected dirt in the corners of the R2 droid. So much detail to realism that a person shouldn't be able to see it all with a single viewing, and this is what you have done! I can't wait for the next part!!!!
