Excellent production value, even if the "plot" seems somewhat obscure.
Bucketheads: Star Wars Fan Film (Imperial Perspective)
Another short movie with excellent production value. (Too bad these short films can't emphasize plot & character development. Regardless, they're remarkably made.)

Re: Shards of the Past: Fan-Made Star Wars Film
Can't watch the whole thing now, but this looks good! I really need to pay closer attention to the Star Wars fanfilm scene again.

Re: Star Wars Fan Film Thread
I've merged these two threads together; might as well have them all in one place instead of spread across several topics.

And here's another excellent one, this time with a fairly expressive (and, possibly, conscientious?) Darth Maul:
Re: Star Wars Fan Film Thread
And the last one for tonight: An epic (and very well done, I must say) battle between two titans in completely separate and fictional universes.
Re: Star Wars Fan Film Thread
Rather bizarrely, I stumbled across all the above in the last few days too.
It's always worth mentioning IMPS The Relentless: https://impstherelentless.com/
Unfortunately, their initial, excessively ambitious, goal of producing chapters frequently and adding things up to a feature-length documentary fell by the wayside a long time ago. What they have made, however, is very good.
For some reason, I can't see Chapter 2 from their site.
Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 3
https://impstherelentless.com/chapter-3 ... aintenance
It spawned from the earlier fan favourite Troops.
Also cool:
A bit of anime
seems to need direct link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN_CP4SuoTU
Less impressed by this one, but it's OK
This on is in French

Re: Star Wars Fan Film Thread
I watched another one a few days back. It featured a bunch of children younglings* with a Jedi (maybe even Obiwan) some time after Episode 3 I think. Can't find it right now though.
*I have no idea why George Lucas felt the need to invent a new word for children. Ewan McGregor might have been able to deliver the line "I have seen a security Hologram of him killing Younglings" a bit more convincingly if he'd just had to say "children".
Seriously, is he about to laugh there?

Re: Star Wars Fan Film Thread
I had watched "The Last Padawan" last night, and found it to be very well done. Next, I'll watch the other ones you posted; thanks for the links.
[Surprisingly, I was utterly unaware of the vast and talented SW fan film community until I stumbled upon it recently. Much catching up have I to do, hmmmm?
EDIT 1: I just watched Le Secret de Tatooine, and this one has the most emotional depth of all the SW fan films I've watched. [Of course, it helps that we're watching iconic characters that we've grown up loving.] Also, I thought that the acting was very good, especially the guy who played the bounty hunter.

Re: Star Wars Fan Film Thread
Sharing a few!
Duality, one of the better "old" ones (2001). I love this one mostly for the fact it's filmed entirely on green-screen and has legitimately good special effects and choreography by the standards of the time.
Revelations is a longer-form fanfilm with moderately high production values (lots of location shoots, great costumes, broad scope), though it seems to be a bit too ambitious for its own good and drags a bit at times.
There's one I can't remember the title of that took a more gritty angle, starting with a bunch of stormtroopers in a pitched battle, eventually following one particular trooper with a lot of strange markings on his armor as he hunts down a jedi. I'll have to check my download archive when I get home. Gah, I wish there was some kind of central database of fanfilms kept updated.

Re: Star Wars Fan Film Thread
This one is OK, not the best, but still pretty good.
However, I'd love to get a decent copy of the end music which is a Western, almost Ennio Morricone, version of a medley of various Star wars themes.

Found it:

Currently #13 on that list "The Good, The Bad and The Empire"

Heh. (But nicely done, I agree.)Enjay wrote:"The Good, The Bad and The Empire"
(On a separate, but related note, I should ask Jeff Ligda how he feels about re-arranging and performing the various iconic pieces of SW theme music.)

Re: Star Wars Fan Film Thread
I found it!
Re: Star Wars Fan Film Thread
Oooh, that's pretty cool. I hadn't seen that one. I thought the fight at the end was a bit stilted in places but it's a really good little movie.Caligari87 wrote:I found it!
Here's one from a couple of years back. Nice scenerey.
And this one's interesting because it features far more space combat than most of the fan films do:

Re: Star Wars Fan Film Thread
I have no doubt he would've. His performance in other scenes is great, but this line is so bad you can see his "are you shitting me" just below the surface. I have to wonder how many takes he burned through before this one was good enough.Enjay wrote:I have no idea why George Lucas felt the need to invent a new word for children.
