    That was awesome! I'm actually an F-16 pilot myself (believe it or not lol) and I couldn't help but to notice how on point (though not perfect, with some stylization and a few Hollywood kind of things) so much of the tactics, maneuvering, and comms were, with regard to real life ACM and dogfighting!

      Loved:
      Shot at max range to force them to break.
      Vertical scissor to cut inside TIE's turn (F4 vs Mig17).
      Horizontal scissors of Xwing trying to force overshoot.
      Working in teams with wingmen.
      Some of the tactics are even more valid for those who played Xwing sim (like that Y-wing rolling to stay alive).

    Wow, the creators really did their homework. Since most people probably won't notice, the maneuvers were all actual Energy fighting manaeuvers, tactics from WW2. First she goes into a vertical turn, which is what you do when the enemy turns faster than you and you cant reach him. Then we saw the scissors maneuver, designed to make an enemy behind you overtake you while being harder to hit. The Y-Wing scene also nicely portraied the usual tail gunner problem. I was extremely impressed.
    Also, visual quality of props, cockpit scenes were A++, but even the spaceship scenes were very good, a quality level that doesn't feel "amateurish".

      @chillyche 5 років тому +28

      I don't know why you liked this so much. I thought the entire team did a great job in production and post production, sure. But they failed to present the most important part of any movie: a compelling story with compelling characters. This is basically a scene with no context (the text crawl contextualizes what's happening in-universe, yes). There's no reason this story SHOULD be told. It's a great demonstration of presentation. It looks and sounds and tastes like classic original trilogy Star Wars. Certainly more-so than the prequel trilogy.
      But it doesn't FEEL like Star Wars, because it has no subtext. It has no heart or soul, really no clear protagonist or point of view.
      I hope the creators understand that I'm not suggesting THEY have no heart and soul. They've just seen the trees, and done a great job at recreating the trees. But they haven't shown us the forest. Just trees.
      That said, a thought provoking moment happens toward the end of the film, when our Y-Wing pilot suggests that "Commander Skywalker has a way of finding things..." That statement alone suggests some interesting story ideas. I don't need any Luke fanfilms, that's for sure, but it makes one wonder, what is the point of view of rebel vets AND/OR rookies when it comes to this farm boy that came outta nowhere, buddies around with this Princess who has taken up an entirely military rank within the Rebel Alliance forces, and seems to be lucky as hell. And claims it's because he uses The Force, an ancient hokey religion that nobody really takes seriously anymore (despite what the Prequels might have told you). Like, that's gotta be a real trip. What is the journey of an atheist to a believer, or to somebody who has no supernatural abilities at all? Those are some questions that make for an interesting exploration of story. There are no bigger questions or character arcs that justify the challenges these characters go through. It's just very well composed and edited security camera footage of a real life event, no meaning, no purpose, no subtext.

    • @RogueSharkPictures
      @RogueSharkPictures  5 років тому +123

      We understand what you are saying, but we think it's a bit unfair to demand that a 9 minute short tackle big ideas that only a feature length film, or even a trilogy of feature length films, can handle. For us, this was a small glimpse into a much larger universe (the first scene of a much larger story) and if we had the resources to expand upon these characters, and the direction we want to take them, we would do so. We have all kinds of ideas for Star Wars features and TV shows, but until Lucas Film decides to pluck us out of oblivion (we're not holding our breath), this will have to do. Sorry we couldn't do more, but at least it's better than nothing.

      X-Wings didn't exactly look sturdy in this, the one hit going down immediately. The shield generator did no good. Maybe it wasn't even working. The maintenance crew might have been slacking and falsifying reports. It's not like the Rebellion could acquire the best professionals anyway; it's a dangerous life with few rewards. Feeling like you're doing to the right thing might not be enough after long years of desperate fights, constant fleeing, and watching your friends die. It's not like the Rebellion could have run proper academies to train qualified technicians anyway. They would just accept whoever appeared willing. At least they had droids. But no droid factories.

      That would assume they were flying through an asteroid field with their shields down. The only real reason to divert shields to power is for pure speed, which wouldn't fit the flight profile either.
      The more logical explanation would be that the forward shields were being reinforced at the cost of the rear shields for the sake of any stray asteroid (just like during the initial phases of the DS trench run) and they didn't balance them out after being engaged.
      But the more likely answer is that its just for dramatic effect. The effectiveness of the shields is based on how convenient they are for the story being portrayed. Fans can be just as guilty of this as anything official.

      Youda00008 If you want a game like this, check out good old games at gog.com They have the original X-wing and TIE fighter games, as well as the much newer X-wing Alliance if you want some better graphics. All of those game are Star Wars 'sims' so prepare to learn a lot of controls for things like power management, angling your deflector shields, setting your cannons to individual, dual fire, or quad fire, etc. But you get to fly missions for the Rebel Alliance or the Empire, if you download TIE fighter. And you get to pull cool maneuvers like the one Renegade One pulled at 4:50 I actually grinned hugely at that since that very maneuver (pull up, cut your throttle, and roll onto the enemies tail, and show him what four Taim & Bak KX9's can do!) has saved my virtual life several times.

    @SeriousGranade 4 роки тому +5

    There really should've been more pieces of work as well made as this one. The emulation of the New Hope's style, especially with the combat in general and the cockpit shots (like the TIE Fighter pilot one), These real life flight maneuvers, interesting characters and narration and more.
    Plus it just clicks with me, because it's a good showcase of the Rebels' fighter superiority, which I feel was pretty much their thing. That's why I hope I'll eventually see a fanmade movie where the Rebel fighter squads helping take down a Star Destroyer is going to be included.

      @Victor Nikolai true, which is why the Y-Wing in our movie was never able to shake the TIE Fighters off her tail. Superior piloting and a rear-facing gunner helped, but ultimately she needed rescue from the X-Wings. That said, in ROTJ Y-Wings are seen dogfighting and shooting down TIE Interceptors, so we think the Y-WIng's reputation as JUST a slow bomber is undeserved. According to the origional trilogy, it's a capable dogfighter. Thanks for watching!
