- Award Winning Fan Film!!!
A nostalgic trip to the classic 77's STAR WARS feel. Short after the events of A NEW HOPE, R2-D2 and C3PO must return to TATOOINE to locate an Imperial artifact for Luke Skywalker, while the Jawas and the Empire are lurking nearby...
The film was created in Unreal Engine 5, using Lumen and Nanite

The film started as a learning project. I jumped into Unreal Engine 5, excited about new possibilities brought by Lumen - the new lighting system, and Nanite - the way to stream the meshes that saves usage of the computer resources.
When I downloaded the Valey of the Ancient, I thought it looks a lot like Tatooine from Star Wars and how I wish I could see how our beloved C3PO and R2-D2 would look in there. And that's how it started. Then from shot to shot, the script came along and the Star Wars story emerged, growing to become a full fan film, when a wonderful bunch of talented people joined and put so much love and work in it!

Wow, R2 & 3PO taking care of business. Outstanding!
That C-3PO impression is pretty decent 👍
Yet another FANtastic SW tale! I was amazed by the realism.
Thanks so much! I'm really happy you enjoyed it!
Fan films like this are very rare because they capture a genuine star wars vibe. Great job!
Thanks so much! I'm happy if we could keep the spirit of the original Trilogy alive :)
@@lunarismaarfilms So am I, it’s a relief to see a fan film that is not all about Jedi and light sabers ;)
@@KenshoBeats Haha, true! Most of the fan films are like that 😉 Looks like it's the most popular aspect... I have to admit, the lightsaber was my initial fascination too, but other things started sinking in, the deeper I sunk into the Universe
almost as if someone was putting love into their work ❤ 🔨
@@scarecrow559fresno one would think so
WOW !!! very nice Movie, great Atmosphere the Spirit form Star Wars on Point.
No shit. Great episode. Loved it.
Thank you all.
Loving c3p0’s new lingual algorithm! Fully expected “R2 you muppet, the pub will closed before we get to town & I could murder a Guinness!”
Very well done all around.
Fantastic. May The Force be with you, always.
May the Force be with you!
And with you
How can it be so perfect ? Entirely in CGI ? Unbelievable. We want more ! Thanks.
Unreal engine 5
Is it pre-rendered? Or since in UE5, can this be rendered in real time?
Thanks so much! More is coming!
@@Av-vd3wk It is pre rendered. You can't get that quality in real time. Real time is good and simplifies your workflow, but when you're happy with the look of your shots, you render them out in higher resolution and quality. That's why most of the time, if you look at the games, the cinematics look better than the game itself
@@lunarismaarfilms You can, but at 1-10fps.. just look at Matrix awakens.
This was purely amazing! Many Star Wars fan films don’t really feel like Star Wars, but this one really did!
Thanks! I'm happy to hear it! That was my main goal here, to pay tribute to the classic SW trilogy
Amazing work! The fact that this looks so good, pre Unreal 5 launch, got me wanting to see what is made in the next 5 years once more developers have access!
Thanks! Honestly, can't wait! UE5 is going forward really fast and made an impact on the film industry already. Let alone the fact that the creators were given the best tool ever!
Do you know www.youtube.com/@EpicallyCasual ?
For the Empire Season 1 is hilarious. Pity that Season 2 is not quite as good, but there is hope for a better future.
This was so well done, it does not need any allowances made for its fan film status. If the entire finished film had run just 10% faster, it would have matched the pacing of the original. The production values were better than the original in some places: and why not! Fans today have a great tradition to build on, which didn't yet exist for Lucas and Co.
My biggest problem was the voice of C3PO. I don't think it matters that the voice was different, but the character was different. 3PO is more brisk and assertive with his comments. And he is often impatient and at times contemptuous of R2D2.
Outstanding job. Very well kept to the story line: Starting in space, banter between C3PO and R2, perfect Jawas. And the graphics were intersteller!!!
Felt more Star Wars than a lot of official Star Wars. Well done! The Force is with you always!
Really liked this one. The quality of effects these days you guys can do with homecomputers amazes me. Rock on
Thanks! We're really grateful for Epic Games giving us so powerful filmmaking tool!
@@lunarismaarfilms Check out the older DAVE school short: Star Wars, A Jawa Story 2010... animated. 🎬
@@DavidLLambertmobile Seen it! Really good one
Thank you for bringing a very George Lucas like feel to a Star Wars fan film. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, with the hammer hitting the nail right on the head.
Is really impressive how fan films can gets the soul this beautiful saga. Congrats!
Really like how this completed a story arc for C3PO where it is his strengths (translation and protocol) that allows the mission to be successful - nice job!
Thank you so much!
For a fan film, 9.5/10. The graphics were very good. The transitions were spot on, very Lucas/Star Wars. The voice of C3PO can totally be forgiven, made up for by the interactions of the characters and that they conveyed more with beeps, woteenies and chitter chatter than actual words. Well done.
The voice of C3PO can be overlooked since he is apparently equipped with advanced vocoder hardware which can mimic all sorts of voices anyhow.
The woteenies - along with all the other Jawa speech, noises, and behaviours - are actually very entertaining.
@@pwnmeisterage Very entertaining, indeed!
Man, you crashed my ship. Excellent work on this! Really cool.
Thanks man! Happy you like it! Sorry for crashing your ship :D
I have to admit, I am not a Star Wars fan whatsoever but this is absolutely incredible. I’m completely blown away by the photorealism and quality. I can’t believe it was done by one person. Fantastic job my friend!!!
From an editors perspective, this inspires me so much man,
Compositions and camera-movement were on point and you nailed scene-transitions and sound design + the focal points were perfect.
10/10
This was great! Well done!
Thanks so much!
Fantastic , high quality 😮!!! The voice of C3pO is not appropriate, but all is perfect, it's like a new movie !! Love from France😊
Amazing movie, slightly dare I say… unnerving having an Irish C3PO😂
Beautiful! I really had feelings that I watching true Star Wars
Thanks! Appreciate it! That feeling is exactly what we wanted to give our fellow fans :)
So real!!!!! Great work. Love it
Good shit. I've liked every fan film so far. Keep em coming
Thanks! Will do!
Just wonderful, a visual delight!
Nothing short of AMAZING!!!!!
Thank you! I'm so happy it all came together!
Excellent job done by all , I loved the space minion effect of the Jawas and the personality/accent boost of C-3PO 😂🤣
Well done. Looks great. The voices of the Jawas...Luigis mansion... Professor Elvin Gadd? Briliant... I love the creativity
I did not skip a second :) Great great work Bravo!
this amazing team did wayyyyy better in their 8 minute clip than disney (despite all their tech 'wizardry; and super-arrogance) did in the pathetic last 3 films. Keep up the amazing work people. You never know who you're inspiring. :)
That was really well done!! 👍
amazing. Thanks for this amazing work
Loved the push-in on R2 as the Jawas started their attack on him and the Imperial Probe Droid. Very dramatic. Excellent work all around.
With videos like this I have hope for the wars your a credit to fans keep doing what you're doing this is the way
9 minutes and more “STAR WARS” than all moments in the final trilogy combined.
Just not though
Thank you! It's so good knowing that we could give our fellow Star Wars fans that feeling! I know the SW Universe grew so much in scope and scale that the original vibe got dissolved along the way. I wanted to bring some of it back as genuinely as I possibly could :)
The Rise of Skywalker alone took more than $1 billion worldwide... so as much as we may love the scaled down, authentic feel of these fan films and indeed the originals - you and me and every other sucker/idiot that paid to go see them unfortunately just says to Disney they're doing a bang up job.
I mean $1 billion! For one of the worst films ever made... It's mind boggling...
@@thejagman22 Yeah, I agree they "broadened the stylistic range" by a lot, however the younger viewers seem to like those...
I'm grateful for one thing - they allow us, the Fans, to create freely within this Universe and express our love for it that way
@@lunarismaarfilms Well, maybe... so long as they don't make significant money. Then I reckon the Disney lawyer-bots would be on you faster than you can say "laser-sword".😂 Great video btw - I love it. May there be many more!
Fan films like this are 100x better than the House of Mouse films.
@JH if this had Disney in the title that person would be crapping all over it.
Awesome video. The final twist was quite clever. I wish Disney writers would learn from the "amateurs"...
This story has potential,would love to see it continue!
The most unlikely droid to save the day... Wonderful visuals as well!
Sounds like an ideal logline for the story! Thanks!
3PO's accent though 🤣
though?
Fantastic work . Looks really well finished and totally professional.
Amzing work! Thanks a million.
How in the world do you only have 305 subs? A travesty. Nicely done.
Other than the creepy version of Threepio this was an absolutely brilliant short film.
Some of these fan made shorts, are far better visually than the original movies of the 70's and early 80's. Its amazing what people can do these days visually with home computers. I am pretty sure the software and production was still pretty expensive though.
Wow, amazing! Would love to see a making of.
Nice to see 3PO utilize his strengths instead of just being the butt of the jokes.
Oh poor C3PO voice...... the pain, the flatness... any other droid would have been find but him (it).
So C3-PO is Irish now? I suppose he can adopt the accent of more than 3 million forms of communication 😅 looks amazing, great work
You’re trapped in the Mandela Effect. The universe I came from both of C3P0’s legs were gold.
Great work,verte noche story.....!!!
That's stunning work, well done
I loved it. Great job.
Thanks! I'm happy you liked the film :)
This was excellent, great job on this!
Love it..
Utini!!.
What a fun story and well made. Nice job!
This was excellent, I loved the the little nod to the new hope with R2D2 and the jawas, you excelled at everything, stellar work 👍😊
Amazing stuff Marty!! Love it
I had so much episode four vibes, wow this blew me away.
Well done this is really good 👍
Great job!
Awesome, hope a series comes from this.. great work!
Good effort. Liked the attention to detail and choreography and sets. Would have been good to have subtitles for the Jawas. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. Actually I thought about writing the lines for Jawas, but finally I decided to go with leaving the words to viewer's imagination, only suggesting emotions involved
beauty EH..LOVE IT
Nice work! Looks great, the jawas always seems cute to me, I want to dream and rest in bed to tomorrow search for a good tutorial in unreal and learn, thanks for the inspiration! 🤯🤓❤️
C3PO should be like this!
Transitions between scenes are on point
Sadly fan films are better than the current company destroying the brand. Keep up the good work!
How the hell has this not reached a million views? This was like watching a big budget movie
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
Impressive. Most impressive.
Terrific! More please ... 😂💪🏼
Amazing quality both in terms of the picture and sound as well as the story telling. Great job!
Thanks for kind words!
Thank you! Nice work.
Far better than the manure the official studio is serving up nowadays!!
Just amazing!!! Looked fantastic. Maybe you could give us another story. Thanks!
Loving the Irish 3p0, lol
Brilliant too
This film f e l t like Star Wars. Well done!
Great film. The visuals were fantastic. I was drawn in so much that I wanted more from the story. What was that crashed pod? Why did Luke want it so bad? Where does this fall in the Lucas storyline? (Questions like this happen when you put out a good product and people want MORE)
Thanks! It's short after the events of A NEW HOPE, but before THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
We see the "fair trade" worked out between R2D2 and the Jawas.
But I'm curious what "fair trade" ("special arrangement") C3PO made with the Jawas.
Did he actually deceive the Jawas, deceive R2, or even offer R2 as bait? Is he more of a lying and manipulative _political_ droid than a loyal and trustworthy _protocol_ droid?
More Star Wars than Star Wars.
I’d love to see some behind the scenes work on the project.
This is dope! Subscribed
Thanks! Appreciate it!
So much fun to watch! :)
When C3-PO decided to stop being stupid haha. The CG is amazing. Almost looks like live action.
The force is with this one.
Thar R2-D2 voice actor is so good.
Great animation!
I had to double check I didn't miss zeros on your sub count, this is criminally underated
Jawas the Minons of Star Wars
Minions are probably influenced by the Jawas?
Subscribed so I don't miss your tutorials, incredible job!
Thanks! They will be coming soon
I forgot to ask. I've a series of tutorials planned, but if there's any topic you want me to cover, please let me know
C3PO with a Southern Irish twang strangely works.
Fecking droids.😁
The fact the location is not real life desert but Unreal Engine is UNREAL!
It is UNREAL indeed! I'm amazed with what kind of tool the film makers were given!
Paddy the golden boy 😂😂😂
The Graphic is amazing!
Stunning
Great work... though I was surprised to hear see tree pee oh have an Irish accent!
Thanks! Haha, he's simply using different module this time :)
Really well done. I dont understand why you would put so much work into something like this only to have C3PO speak with an Irish accent. 9/10.
