he knew if the mandalorians could potentionally rally supporters if enough of them survived to start a rebellion, so he massacred them all, least most of them, unfortunately the stolen fleet did not happen yet and even after that not many of them where left since they scattered across the galaxy to live in hiding
No it's not, stormtroopers were not used for the destruction of Mandalor clones were still the back bone of the empire, besides stormtroopers are inferior to clones and the 223rd clone legion under Rex had a hard enough time with the sege of Mandalor. What makes you think that inferior stormtroopers would be any better?
@thewolf1047 Yes it is. It’s confirmed that the Empire sent troops into Mandalore and annihilated the Mandalorian defenders and forced Bo Katan to surrender. They glassed the planet after. The Empire is more armed and capable of open warfare than what you give them credit for. Rex and his clones had it easy because the Mandalorians were still divided, some under Bo-Katan and some under Maul. Here the Mando‘s were United. Yet they still got beaten by the Empire because the Empire isn’t retarded and are an actual military force that you don’t screw around with. Yet the Mando‘s did and paid a heavy price.
what Bo-Katan failed to understand was this was not a war between equal powers, or a conquest it was a punishment from their Emperor for their defiance, there is no forgiveness for disobedience, for defying the emperor, siding against him there is only one outcome, death, and so mandalore burned in fire of his wrath
She knew the empire was stronger, but i think she didnt think they would care. Wouldnt see them as a threat on the map. The imperial occupation on mandalora was rather a faction warfare rather than pure imperial. I think Gideon had a purpose there, he fought it very personally.
The Empire never actually occupied Mandalore. They attacked the mandalorians on the planet, then they turned the planet surface to slag by using the Star Destroyers heavy turbolasers and Tie Bombers. The few mandalorians that survived the spanking from the Emperor spread out across the galaxy, as Boba Fett did.
True, we need more series or movie that atleast shows the perspective of the empire. All we got to see is stormtroopers getting folded by almost everyone, they’re portraying them as a joke not an elite force like obi wan said
Honestly even as a kid I always wondered what was so bad about the empire? Ooo soldiers that can't shoot, ooo Vader torturing han who is also a wanted man . Like from a citizen perspective just the average joe .
@@lukedalton no one here is talking about the ww2 sure the empire took some inspiration from the nazis. The perspective im talking about is to show how cruel and effective the stormtroopers actually are, like i said the stormtroopers are portrayed as a joke in almost all star wars shows
@@SirDinzhiwell the entire imperial iconography is extremely naziesque...by design (expecially if one take in consideration when the first SW movie was done). Andor show exactely how cruel and effective against the intended target (poorly armed civilians) the empire is

@@NuclearMex the senate was already a thing of history, this more or less happened after the destruction of the first Death Star, when the Empire needed to look very strong after the two enormous defeat at Yavin and Lothal
Something I love about this is that it shows just how much smoke dust would be present. The helmets would be needed just to breath, and to see. As Finn says in TFA, the primary purpose of the Stormtrooper helmets is to filter out smoke... and this is a wide-open battlefield, In the narrow confines of a ship or building, the combatants would be nearly blind without helmet optics after a prolonged fight.
Im glad someone finally did it. Filoni is unlikely to ever give us competent trooper action, so you are the only one who could portray it. Thank you for your effort.
For the Empire is more important that the troopers are fanatically loyal, competence is irrilevant as their survival as they have numbers, they have given them shoody equipment and never really cared to solve the issue till their logistic chain go down to hell from this moment as resources were limited well they keep attention but by then it was too late. Basically Filoni had the right vision of the imperial army, sorry but the competent war machine is more a fan idea, reality will be more akin to the Russian Army that is fighting in Ukraina right now.
This is why I love Star Wars so much! the fans come out and provide fan made stuff like this and it looks awesome! I love how you portrayed the the fighting between the Mandalorians and the Imperials, and how competent Moff Gideon is. Also, whoever voiced Gideon in this did an amazing job!
Nice work mate! I never get tired of blaster fights. That little 1v1 with the mando and the stormtrooper captain was unexpected but not unwelcome. Bo using the darksaber was amazing too! Can’t wait to see what other animations comes next!
Check out : Mandalorian tv series~~ Season 3 Episode 7 (Chapter 23 : The Spies) TimeStamp= 25:40 Bo katan explains what happened to mandalore in the purge.
Hope the Stormtrooper Captain and the Mando get a rematch some day, this depiction of the purge was hella awesome, what the live actions don't want to depict or give budget to
The prosperity of an Empire often signifies countless brave and loyal soldiers sacrificing themselves for it, just like the brave and strong Stormtroopers lying on the ground in this video. As Stormtroopers, they made the ultimate sacrifice for the Galactic Empire, and none of them will have any regrets, because all their actions stem from the belief they had when they put on that white armor - for the Empire! It's truly a fantastic video! Please continue to create more wonderful works!
...sounds like a current empire trying to resurrect itself from its current state of gloom in hopes to make it "powerful" again. After the sacrifice, they can no longer contribute to that empire. Plus, we never saw memorials honoring their sacrifice. When 1 falls, there are a million more right behind you so you are litterly just a number and nothing more....
Excellent job. My guess is if we ever get an official version of this, we’d get cameos from not only Bo-Katan and Gideon, but also Sabine Wren’s family, including their deaths. But again, beautifully done as is. Fan animations have some of the best content.
I have been captivated by your animations ever since the coruscant parade! This was amazing, what a battle, the details, the story!! Love having someone as skilled as you in the community telling these stories!😄🤙
I love the shot of Mando artillery and how it looks exactly like the American m777 Howitzer. I also love how you gave the Stormtroopers tactical vest and made them use actual ambush tactics against the Mando's. That scene with the Stormtrooper commander and the Mandalorian having a 1v1 and the Stormtrooper actually winning made me jump out of my seat. Stormtroopers are my favorites and i love them getting some love. Well done sir:)
Thank you im glad you liked it! Actually yes it was a howitzer in the animation only few people noticed that detail, I edited some changes on that howitzer model, made it look like a bit more technologically advanced to fit into the sci-fi world of star wars I just thought it would look nice on the animation so yeah anyways thanks for commenting!
Bro, I have no words. I've watched hundreds of animations, even more fan films. This was THE BEST I've ever seen. My jaw dropped when Bo Katan showed up and stayed dropped for the rest of the video. This was intense, emotional, well put together. This is everything I imagined the night of a 1000 tears to be and more. It was incredible. The Empire was epic, the animation was epic and the story was epic. This is the power of the Empire. Mandalore, a planet we've come to know and love, absolutely decimated, and we got to watch it happen. The voices were spot on too. F*ck all those petty complaints I've seen in the comments, this is the coolest star wars animation I've ever seen. Thank you for bringing this to life🙏
Brilliantly depicted. The Imperial army is competent and knows what they're doing, The mandos are using conventional tactics instead of stupid disney guerrilla attacks. Keep up the good work mate
I watched all seasons of The Mandalorian. I learned all about the Night of 1000 Tears. I honestly never thought I’d shed my own at watching this. 😢 a testament to your talent.
Great Job! You did a better job at showing how effective the Empire is than a multi billion dollar company 💀 Feedback: The Stormtroopers going blind is impossible because their helmets make them immune to flashbangs. The size accuracy for the ISD is incredibly good. Disney doesn't even know how big the ISD really is and shows them way too small all the times. You did it perfectly The Stormtroopers all had that belt which I would have kept away because if they need more space for food or simular they would use backpacks like sandtroopers did. The Accurate Portraying of Stormtroopers and how they decimate average Mandos is gorgeous.
Thank you very much! I appreciate the feedback. And yeah i also agree with you about disney making the empire look weak, i mean they made stormtroopers really bad and non threatening, ive always wanted to make these guys like a real threat and a problem agaisnt the "good guys" ive been a fan of stormtroopers since i was a kid and i wasnt really satisfied on how they were portrayed in the movies and shows
@@SirDinzhi the real enemy of the stormtroopers are unharmed civilian that they need to terrorize in compliance as show in Andor, against proper trained soldiers well they lack everything from proper equipment to real esprit de corp and that's by design as Uncle Palpy don't want competent soldiers but only loyal one (and competence can be very problematic if they decide to rebel) they need to look cool and intimidating not to really be. And sure theoretically the stormtroopers armor protect against flashbang, but there is a wall of reality between what advertised and what it can really do probably thanks to the corruption that Uncle Palpy love to foster. Again for real life counterpart of the Imperial armed forces look at Russia
@@lukedalton Nope, the real life counterpart to the Empire is the US military with some British and Roman characteristics. There is no Russian involved, your comment is unloreful bullshit
@@bobafett9348 no you simply can't accept that the bad guys with the nice shiny toys and the cool uniforms are just a bunch of incopetent...honestly not my problem, sure in all the tv series and movie there is little evidence of the competence of the imperials (except the 501st but this is more due to Vader than anything else) against trained and well armed foe but let's not this little and insignificant little details obstacolate this fanboy fantasy
Very much enjoyed this video. Loved that you included the mass TIE Bomber formation conducting the carpet bombings and even enjoyed the destruction of the capital. Got a good little laugh that you used the M777 Howitzer and Star Wars'd it for the video
Thank you! I was hoping someone would notice the space howitzer lol, i loved the design of that artillery and i thought it would look better adding it into the animation
Awesome work!! Great job to everyone involved. Some of the Best Star Wars work we saw in the past 5 years....or more. ;) :) Congrats..... and thanks for sharing that with us. :)
The Imperial Academy definitely taught the history of the age of the Mandalorian Crusades. Their elimination is definitely a victory from the point of view of an ordinary Imperial, demonstrating the strength of the imperial army and navy without the presence of a Death Star, and I, being an Imperial, admire this animation. Thank you for such interesting and high-quality content. Good luck in the further development of the channel. Glory to the Empire!
My only critiques are minor ones: like the munitions patches the Stormtroopers are wearing actually come from the First Order design set and Gideon is wearing his Remnant Warlord design rather than his at-the-time accurate deseign of an Imperial Security Bearau Agent. It was only following the Great Purge of Mandalore that he was granted the title and honor of Imperial Moff, Governor of the Mandalore Sector.
@@SirDinzhi You're welcome! A concept I personally have concieved to help re-habilitate the Sequel Trilogy Is the following: keep the concept of Starkiller Base but instead of It being a third Death Star, have It be a gigantic planet-sized shipyard capable of hyperspace travel. Immagine: A loud siren starts blearing, lights flashing, the rumbling sound of millions of tons of earth, stone and foiliage. The earth starts to shudder. Shake and... Lift? From orbit, on the bridge of the Finalizer, General Hux beams with pride.His beloved creation stirring from it's slumber! The planet's crust starts to lift, moving with the force of giant hydraullics powered by the planet's core itself. The crust, now lifted, parts upwards to reveal: a series of newly assembled Resurgeant-class Star Destroyers all surging forward on their Mayden Voyage. Ready to bring Order and Security to the Galaxy once more! What do you think?
I think the Mandalorian warriors aren't entirely equipped with Beskar armor, but only the most elite ones are, considering the very rarity of this metal. Although Beskar was then in the Imperial possession, they could not mass produce equipments from it
Thanks to who ever made this, it was awsome. Loved the Kung fu scene. Allways said Jedi should be martial arts masters as well as Saber masters. This was classic Star Wars! Well done
There are stories and eras of Legends in which the Imperial Machine - and the Stormtrooper Corps in particular - are portrayed as terrifyingly efficient, well-trained, well-resourced, and therefore functionally unstoppable. But it's the *combination* of all of those things, including the resources - that made them so fearsome. As you show at the end, the Purge was effected with numbers and air support. But a small unit of stormies able to merc an equally sized unit of Mandalorians? That part was tough to swallow.
Now THIS is how the story should've been shown to us. Not a short clip and a throwaway line but a full fledged episode covering the battle. This makes the deception so much more clear and impactful. Well done on this and thank you so much!
Awesome! But I really want to know more of the backstory. It’s hard to think that Mandalore fell that easily. Some sort of intelligence must’ve broken down. I WANT A SERIES MADE!
If we actually saw this in Mandalorian that would’ve been so much better! You have done amazing work and put more emotion, passion and storytelling into a production then Disney EVER will! Remember that! You are BETTER than a multi Billion dollar company! NEVER STOP! Please give us more!
@@anticitizenokapi4634 i have no plans on making a star wars project right now im currently working on a fallout fan film, maybe after that I’ll probably make another star wars fan project focusing on a life of a stormtrooper
This is really great. I do love that this shows that when the Empire ABANDONS all effort for control and decides to instead destroy, they are VERY good at it. Others see this as how Disney fails to portray the Empire as anything but incompetent, but that's looking at it the wrong way. The Empire seeks mostly to CONTROL the galaxy, not destroy it. But in this case, the Purge of Mandolore, is a case of the Empire abandoning all desire to control them and instead just destroy them. So they no longer need to hold back. No need to fight and subjugate. Just slaughter them completely. No worry about civilian casualties, no worry about losing resources, none of that. They can just raze everything to the ground.
Congratulations, this was captivating, thrilling, powerful, mesmerising, sad, emotive . . . well could go on; just could not stop watching. The way scenes are framed and the visuals depicted.
Wish we had an amazing yet heartbreaking scene like this in The Mandalorian Season 3 instead of just an exposition from Bo-Katan. Remember Mandalore! 😢
Same, we went from having some minimal but valuable flashback sequences in Mando S1/2/Boba, to have none in Mando 3/Ahsoka, just people telling what happened...lame
@@darthdracul8372 what are too talking about. It's a basic rule of storytelling, show, NOT tell. Plus, why would it be better? It's information that gives meaning and background to an event that developed at least 5 named characters
@@STERNI85 at this point, now that Din and Grogu are not focused on the mandalore stuff, and mandalore is free and being rebuild seeing a flashback of its destruction would be pointless unless we are developmentally Bo Katan or some new character who was in during Purge (Din wasn't so he won't be it)
This was so enjoyable to watch, thank you! Loved the feel of the whole thing, the unexpected twists, and the at times all-out dramatically animated scenes were very refreshing!
I don't think Gideon would evacuate his troopers before bombarding Mandalore. He is unlike Thrawn. While Tharawn cares about his soldiers and have respect for them, Gideon is coward and nacisist. I think he never withdrew his units from battle.
This is a different Gideon before the fall of the Empire. He isn't desperate and cocky because his empire is still here. I personally prefer the competent and more badass Gideon portrayed here. A good use of his character. Besides, its freggin Gustavo Fring in space. Cold and calculating.
Such an important battle as this and you expect him to waste troops and not get screwed over by Tarkin or some higher up. He'd be lucky if he pulled something like that off.
Despite being based off of the events described in the Mandalorian Season 3, this short is so many times better. It actually showcases stormtroopers as an elite and deadly force, which is something we need to see so much more of, and (unlike Mando s3) the Mandalorians can and will be killed by shooting the holes in the beskar (wheras in Mando s3 the Mandalorians lost not a SINGLE soul other than Paz). Sure the Mandalorians have better warriors, but there's not much you can do against a swarm of tie bombers. It felt very epic, and you knew as soon as Bo-Katan received a transmission what was about to happen. Also Moff Gideon looked very epic.
This one right here is dope. Great explanation of how she lost the saber. The images of the bombardment where extremely vivid. I would love to see how she got off the planet.
Looks like Clan Mudhorn has gained some additional recruits🤔They also time travelled as Clan Mudhorn was created during the time of the New Republic🤷🏽♂
This is on par with Rogue One and Andor in terms of realism (grim war, Imperials DO damage, etc.) and a lot better than most Star Wars stuff out there! Only advice would be to make the voices a bit louder compared to the sfx sounds, other than that it's great!
I really liked this animation not just because of how good it was and the great directing. But how it actually had competent Imperial Stormtroopers that felt like actual soldiers instead of bodies to drop to the main character.

@@bobafett9348 no you simply can't accept that the bad guys with the nice shiny toys and the cool uniforms are just a bunch of incopetent...honestly not my problem, sure in all the tv series and movie there is little evidence of the competence of the imperials (except the 501st but this is more due to Vader than anything else) against trained and well armed foe but let's not this little and insignificant little details obstacolate this fanboy fantasy
This is the one of the best animated STAR WARS film
of all time that I have ever seen. I was really impressed.
Amazing!!!
The Stormtrooper Army is with a perfect aim.
Very much enjoyed this video. Loved that you included the mass TIE Bomber formation conducting the carpet bombings and even enjoyed the destruction of the capital. Got a good little laugh that you used the M777 Howitzer and Star Wars'd it for the video
Thank you! I was hoping someone would notice the space howitzer lol, i loved the design of that artillery and i thought it would look better adding it into the animation
I have seen more crudeness of belligerence in this short than in most series and movies we have so far, great work.
For Mandalor¡¡¡ This Is The Way
Thank you! ❤
This video has the approval of the sepratist alliance. Our lord Count Dooku is most pleased with your talents, civilian.
Awesome work!!
Great job to everyone involved.
Some of the Best Star Wars work we saw in the past 5 years....or more. ;) :)
Congrats..... and thanks for sharing that with us. :)
Thank you! I'm very glad you liked my film 😊
Finally competent stormtroopers! This is a dream come true!
My boys out there getting after it
The Imperial Academy definitely taught the history of the age of the Mandalorian Crusades. Their elimination is definitely a victory from the point of view of an ordinary Imperial, demonstrating the strength of the imperial army and navy without the presence of a Death Star, and I, being an Imperial, admire this animation. Thank you for such interesting and high-quality content. Good luck in the further development of the channel. Glory to the Empire!
Thank you ❤
My only critiques are minor ones: like the munitions patches the Stormtroopers are wearing actually come from the First Order design set and Gideon is wearing his Remnant Warlord design rather than his at-the-time accurate deseign of an Imperial Security Bearau Agent. It was only following the Great Purge of Mandalore that he was granted the title and honor of Imperial Moff, Governor of the Mandalore Sector.
Thank you!! I appreciate the feedback
@@SirDinzhi You're welcome! A concept I personally have concieved to help re-habilitate the Sequel Trilogy Is the following: keep the concept of Starkiller Base but instead of It being a third Death Star, have It be a gigantic planet-sized shipyard capable of hyperspace travel.
Immagine: A loud siren starts blearing, lights flashing, the rumbling sound of millions of tons of earth, stone and foiliage. The earth starts to shudder. Shake and... Lift? From orbit, on the bridge of the Finalizer, General Hux beams with pride.His beloved creation stirring from it's slumber! The planet's crust starts to lift, moving with the force of giant hydraullics powered by the planet's core itself. The crust, now lifted, parts upwards to reveal: a series of newly assembled Resurgeant-class Star Destroyers all surging forward on their Mayden Voyage. Ready to bring Order and Security to the Galaxy once more!
What do you think?
12:01 That was a nice touch, the crash, followed by the delayed boom. Even well funded productions miss subtleties like that.
This just shows --- fans are doing the best work.
I think the Mandalorian warriors aren't entirely equipped with Beskar armor, but only the most elite ones are, considering the very rarity of this metal. Although Beskar was then in the Imperial possession, they could not mass produce equipments from it
It was both awesome and completely horrifying…
Thanks to who ever made this, it was awsome. Loved the Kung fu scene. Allways said Jedi should be martial arts masters as well as Saber masters. This was classic Star Wars! Well done
Thank you! Appreciate the positive comment 🙏 ❤️
There are stories and eras of Legends in which the Imperial Machine - and the Stormtrooper Corps in particular - are portrayed as terrifyingly efficient, well-trained, well-resourced, and therefore functionally unstoppable.
But it's the *combination* of all of those things, including the resources - that made them so fearsome. As you show at the end, the Purge was effected with numbers and air support. But a small unit of stormies able to merc an equally sized unit of Mandalorians? That part was tough to swallow.
That stormtrooper Commander has hands🔥
Marvelously done, and story accurate even storm troopers were not useless, they did quite ok
4:40
That Stormtrooper must be an Echani with the way he just immediately pulls out the martial-arts and starts literally kicking ass!
With a nice little Filoni makeover, this could have been an awesome Star Wars Rebels Episode.
Now THIS is how the story should've been shown to us. Not a short clip and a throwaway line but a full fledged episode covering the battle. This makes the deception so much more clear and impactful. Well done on this and thank you so much!
I should be the one thanking you! 😅 You've supported my channel by watching and commenting it that means a lot to me 👍
@@SirDinzhi oh I subbed so fast today lol. Hoping for more like this someday. Thank you
Very nicely done. Awesome portrait of how Mandalore fell to the Empire.
Keep this up!!🔥. It’s phenomenal work. Keep on making Star Wars films🙏🏼🔥.
The moment we were waiting for! It has arrived!
Awesome! But I really want to know more of the backstory. It’s hard to think that Mandalore fell that easily. Some sort of intelligence must’ve broken down. I WANT A SERIES MADE!
They didn't loose easily. The Emps sustained massive losses on the ground and the air.
My Empire: right or wrong. 💪🏻
I noticed that the Stormtroopers have the same package that First Order ones.
If we actually saw this in Mandalorian that would’ve been so much better! You have done amazing work and put more emotion, passion and storytelling into a production then Disney EVER will! Remember that! You are BETTER than a multi Billion dollar company! NEVER STOP! Please give us more!
High key probably my favorite Star Wars fan animation alongside that GCW Liberation of Coruscant animation.
Thanks man that means a lot 🙏
@@SirDinzhi do you have any other ideas for animations that take place in the Star Wars universe?
@@anticitizenokapi4634 i have no plans on making a star wars project right now im currently working on a fallout fan film, maybe after that I’ll probably make another star wars fan project focusing on a life of a stormtrooper
@@SirDinzhi 👀 I look forward to it
This is really great. I do love that this shows that when the Empire ABANDONS all effort for control and decides to instead destroy, they are VERY good at it.
Others see this as how Disney fails to portray the Empire as anything but incompetent, but that's looking at it the wrong way. The Empire seeks mostly to CONTROL the galaxy, not destroy it. But in this case, the Purge of Mandolore, is a case of the Empire abandoning all desire to control them and instead just destroy them. So they no longer need to hold back. No need to fight and subjugate. Just slaughter them completely. No worry about civilian casualties, no worry about losing resources, none of that.
They can just raze everything to the ground.
This. This is what I want put of my Stormtroopers. That commander was bad ass.
Yes! Right? I almost didn’t recognize them!
This is what should’ve happened in the Mandalorian. This is how they should’ve fought
The Night of a thousand tears. Great Job 👍 This is the way
Congratulations, this was captivating, thrilling, powerful, mesmerising, sad, emotive . . . well could go on; just could not stop watching. The way scenes are framed and the visuals depicted.
Wish we had an amazing yet heartbreaking scene like this in The Mandalorian Season 3 instead of just an exposition from Bo-Katan.
Remember Mandalore! 😢
Same, we went from having some minimal but valuable flashback sequences in Mando S1/2/Boba, to have none in Mando 3/Ahsoka, just people telling what happened...lame
@@GonzaloAhumadaCastro-jr5sj sometimes it’s better not to know
@@darthdracul8372 what are too talking about. It's a basic rule of storytelling, show, NOT tell. Plus, why would it be better? It's information that gives meaning and background to an event that developed at least 5 named characters
I really hope they'll show us this in season 4 of The Mandalorian. IT would bei awesome
@@STERNI85 at this point, now that Din and Grogu are not focused on the mandalore stuff, and mandalore is free and being rebuild seeing a flashback of its destruction would be pointless unless we are developmentally Bo Katan or some new character who was in during Purge (Din wasn't so he won't be it)
This was so enjoyable to watch, thank you! Loved the feel of the whole thing, the unexpected twists, and the at times all-out dramatically animated scenes were very refreshing!
This Star wars fan film is breathtaking & the characters everything about it brilliant
I don't think Gideon would evacuate his troopers before bombarding Mandalore. He is unlike Thrawn. While Tharawn cares about his soldiers and have respect for them, Gideon is coward and nacisist. I think he never withdrew his units from battle.
The Empire is still in charge at this point, so he has to.
@@yrooxrksvi7142ironic they are doing captain America winter soldier in Ashoka and new republic ignorance got them blown up in sequels
This is a different Gideon before the fall of the Empire. He isn't desperate and cocky because his empire is still here. I personally prefer the competent and more badass Gideon portrayed here. A good use of his character. Besides, its freggin Gustavo Fring in space. Cold and calculating.
he wouldn’t squander valuable resources
Such an important battle as this and you expect him to waste troops and not get screwed over by Tarkin or some higher up. He'd be lucky if he pulled something like that off.
Despite being based off of the events described in the Mandalorian Season 3, this short is so many times better. It actually showcases stormtroopers as an elite and deadly force, which is something we need to see so much more of, and (unlike Mando s3) the Mandalorians can and will be killed by shooting the holes in the beskar (wheras in Mando s3 the Mandalorians lost not a SINGLE soul other than Paz). Sure the Mandalorians have better warriors, but there's not much you can do against a swarm of tie bombers. It felt very epic, and you knew as soon as Bo-Katan received a transmission what was about to happen. Also Moff Gideon looked very epic.
Very well done. This is probably the most thorough animated fan projects I've seen. And this is now cannon as far as that's concerned.
Thank you!
Star wars M777 looks badass
This one right here is dope. Great explanation of how she lost the saber. The images of the bombardment where extremely vivid. I would love to see how she got off the planet.
5:26 to 5:34 is the greatest thing ive ever seen
Long live the empire!!! It was great 👑
This is so good! Keep up the good work man 👏
Very nicely done, really enjoyed watching this especially the scenes with the ISDs. About how many hours did this take?
Thanks im very glad you enjoyed it. 😊 This project took me 6 months to finish, i was working on it alone and thats why it took that long to complete.
The night of a thousand tears was the Mandalorian Order 66.
Looks like Clan Mudhorn has gained some additional recruits🤔They also time travelled as Clan Mudhorn was created during the time of the New Republic🤷🏽♂
THIS WAS AWESOME!!! Great Job!
Thank you! Glad you liked it 🙏
This was gorgeous to watch the story was good and it kept me invested. The action was phenomenal and excellent. Great work
Thank you so much!
Very well done, a sad day for Mandalore, I'm glad that there are still so many stories that can be told in the Star Wars Galaxy
This looks really good. Like cut scenes from a video game. Well done!
Finally someone portrays stormtroopers as how they should be. They are well trained and powerful in combat. It’s just the movies make them look ass
This is on par with Rogue One and Andor in terms of realism (grim war, Imperials DO damage, etc.) and a lot better than most Star Wars stuff out there!
Only advice would be to make the voices a bit louder compared to the sfx sounds, other than that it's great!
Thank you! I appreciate the advice
I will include this in my Star Wars head canon
17:53 amazing shot 👌
I really liked this animation not just because of how good it was and the great directing. But how it actually had competent Imperial Stormtroopers that felt like actual soldiers instead of bodies to drop to the main character.
Thank you im glad you liked it 🙏
I got chills watching this, amazingly done 🔥
Thank you! Im glad you liked it 👍
