@@Saintphoenix86 Star Wars is dead. Long live "The Empire Strikes Back"! It's the only Star Wars I really need other than the Imperial Assault board game from FFG.
@@ArmouryTerrain The prototype star Destroyer which Colins original was had actual battleship model parts on it. Thus why your getting the more military vibe for it. Functional military ships tend to be more about being practical and not about looks
That shot of X-wing changing foils with astromech sitting there is just so Star Wars! I haven't felt such joy from any Disney SW, you bring tears to my eyes!
“They may have escaped us here, but they have only prolonged the inevitable. Good work, Interceptor Pilot. They will lead us to more of their friends, as well. Alert all commands, rally the fleet.”
Everything looked insane! The models are detailed, the action is tight and the perfect lighting is just put everything together really great!! This is just Incredible, guy!
Damn that star destroyer captain is smart to place a tracking beacon on that ship. This is getting very interesting and can't wait to see more. Also is just me or has the quality of videos improved as if they already weren't impressive enough. Keep up the good work guys 💖
I myself am a huge fan of Star Wars starfighters and this video brought so much to me. Not many people can make this kind of work and effort on an amazing piece like this!
This video just made EVERY nerd gasm. The beauty of the models, the realistic action, the PERFECT SFX. I don't know what you do for a day job, but if this isn't it, it feels like your talents are waisted.
Wow... the graphics have this sort of "glow" to it that makes them very pleasant to the eyes... awesome animation as always, and a step up from the previous videos, I think
For a second I thought the beginning was from the movie, you really are that good. Thanks for making incredible scenes like this, it now a part of my headcanon!
Why is it that fan projects can make ships feel more physical and present than official studios? Unless you used miniatures, then you have absolutely nailed making 3D have the visual weight of "reality" that CGI has long striven for. This is fantastic
One of the many things I love about these shorts, are the fighter pilots trying to avoid flying through explosions whenever they can instead of doing a Hollywood and flying straight through.
Fascinating, such detail, I must say, if the star wars community that makes such fine models didn't exist I think the world would be a much more sad place, but the way you executed this...it is beyond my greatest compliment I can give
I honestly can't tell the difference with an official production half the time and to be fair, it's more about the audio not being on par with the exceptionnal visuals. It has it all, from the models to the lighting and the smooth animation. Bravo !
What I love with this is the sparing use of stuff like shaky cam. The shots let you actually see what the hell is going on and you can feel the tension well. Would utterly kill for battles like this in the official movies more :/
I jumped out of bed and ran to my computer after seeing this in my youtube feed. You guys not only create the most imazing visuals but also edit them together in a way that really flows and makes the world believable. I would LOVE to see actual characters within the ships though. I reckon that would be the last step in making it Star Wars and honestly, shouldn't be difficult considering your.talent and expertise in CG. Keep it up Skyforge!!!
Well, at least they put a homing beacon on one of the Corvettes, but MAN is the Emperor going to be steamed when he hears about this. Incredible work!!! Keep it up!
That view from inside the cockpit of the X-Wing is simply incredible :) Anyone flying a starfighter or similar craft IRL would have the biggest balls of steal lol
This looks so GOOD! the spacecraft movements seem so real and visceral, you've really nailed the feel of R1 level space combat! And the interior shot of the cockpit looking out? That was perfection. The lighting and render are just superb. So well done!
Man, this looks good. The star destroyer made the canon part of me try to identify it, until I realized that this was your take on a star destroyer. Can’t wait to see more!
So glad to have been a part of this are there is some serious talent on display - these VFX just keep getting better and better. Congrats on a job well done!

Superb work! And it's awesome to see the Colin Cantwell destroyer and the CR110 brought to life in such an exciting way!
Hey, they wouldn’t have been brought to life at all without you
Indeed, keep up the good work
Etc Henry, since the x wing guns are much wider, how do they all hit the much narrower ties

as a star wars nerd I can only shake my head in disbelief at how good this is
@@kruleworld it still is though. Except the sequels of course
@@oliverstaples8999 sequels are good at best. Mediocre to say the least.
@@Goofyahh1337 that's too generous, only thing good about them was the cgi and cinematography

Who?
@@nivek3998 He's a creative exec at Lucasfilm who worked as a concept artist on the prequels. Basically, he designed a lot of the ships.
@@nivek3998 Creative director at Lucasfilm; he designed a lot of the ships since the prequels through today

My 4 and 6 year old screamed “STAR WARS!!!” when they saw this. Nice job! Keep the dream alive!
This looked fantastic! Really high quality stuff!
125 seconds of Star Wars content better than what a $200+ billion company can come up with.

Rogue one was amazing though, so lucasfilm can do it, we just need KK gone
@@Saintphoenix86 Star Wars is dead. Long live "The Empire Strikes Back"!
It's the only Star Wars I really need other than the Imperial Assault board game from FFG.
More realistic, better atmosphere. Best I ever see.
Amen!
This is the type of quality you'd see in the Mandalorian.
Nah. This is better than anything Disney has done.
Yeah its much better than Disney
@@JesusFriedChrist no, its not. But its very good, it matches up to it. :-)
@@JesusFriedChrist no that’s just silly. Just try praising this guys amazing work without turning it towards your anti-Disney agenda.
Whoa, CGI and effects look so great, it's like a real movie. Hope to see more in the future!
Always a pleasure to watch and work with you Ryan, perfect job!!
That A wing pilot just showing off with that barrel roll before jumping. Thank you for making the dream come true
I like how the Star Destroyer is based on Colin Cantwell's original design.
It is a great design and just feels more military for some reason.
@@ArmouryTerrain The prototype star Destroyer which Colins original was had actual battleship model parts on it. Thus why your getting the more military vibe for it.
Functional military ships tend to be more about being practical and not about looks
If you haven't seen it yet, check EC Henry's channel, those are his models, and all of his ship designs are gorgeous.
Finally, someone notices.
That shot of X-wing changing foils with astromech sitting there is just so Star Wars! I haven't felt such joy from any Disney SW, you bring tears to my eyes!
HOLY SHITE THIS WORK IS INCREDIBLE!!
Perfect music selection as well!!!
This is probably the best fan made action sequence I have ever seen. The cockpit scene felt so real, especially with the distortion. Well done!
Holy moly the lighting makes these look like actual models rather than CG amazing job
“They may have escaped us here, but they have only prolonged the inevitable. Good work, Interceptor Pilot. They will lead us to more of their friends, as well. Alert all commands, rally the fleet.”
This was simply amazing, loved it.
Really like the look of the Ralph McQuarrie style ISD!
This is seriously incredible. You nailed the Rogue One look

The lighting and renderings on point. Looks like a scene straight out of Rogue One during the battle of Scarrif.
Disney hire this man he would make Star Wars great again
This is insane! Amazing work!
Didn’t expect to see you here also when will the 200 days of nuclear age come out if you make it lol
Damn that star destroyer captain is smart to place a tracking beacon on that ship. This is getting very interesting and can't wait to see more.

Damn i hope more like this is made its amazing quality and deserves recognition
The production quality jump from flight of the valiant to this video are very noticeable!

Wow! Utterly amazing! Keep up the great work!
Hey Matt!!
Awesome!! Thank you so much for your work! 🙏🏻👏👏👏
This is phenomenal!!! It feels like watching a segment from an official Star Wars movie

I love how you show the imperials dropping a tracker onto them before they managed to jump
This was amazing, I can’t believe this is a fan made film.
I mean... This is the most modern Star Wars a fan film has ever Star War'sd. 11/10
I've been waiting for this video for a long time... Thanks Ryan! In your videos, the models look very lively!
For a second I thought the beginning was from the movie, you really are that good. Thanks for making incredible scenes like this, it now a part of my headcanon!
Your work never fails to astound me!
I hope in the future for maybe some Clone Wars Era space battles in this animation eventually!
Why is it that fan projects can make ships feel more physical and present than official studios?
Unless you used miniatures, then you have absolutely nailed making 3D have the visual weight of "reality" that CGI has long striven for. This is fantastic
As expected it’s nice
Great work. Far better than the recent sequels.
Imagine these guys, Darth Angelus, and unreal cinema teamed up.
One say. Plus add in Unreal Captures, his Republic Commando video is amazing.
I cannot believe how good these are! Thanks for sharing them.
AMAZING
The attention to detail with that upper right thruster being dimmer to show degraded operation is so good.
Man it was so good. Definitely has the quality to be in a Star Wars show/movie
One of the many things I love about these shorts, are the fighter pilots trying to avoid flying through explosions whenever they can instead of doing a Hollywood and flying straight through.
Damn dude, nice job
DAYUM!! The camera work, different perspectives from first to third, animation of it all. You did a stand-up job man!
There is more emotion in these two minutes than in the entire Disney trilogy.
Hay mas emoción en estos dos minutos que en toda la trilogía de Disney.
The way you highlight the lesser-known ships of Star Wars is wonderful.
That’s EC Henry go to his channel
The one person who disliked this was definitely jealous.
it was the Empire itself
Kathleen acolyte probably.... or a trekkie😄
@@jason-vv6kv Probably Kathleen herself. And in the current state that Trek is in, why wouldn't a Trekkie enjoy this!
Probably J. J. Abrams...
it was a tie pilot
This "model kit" feeling is NEEEEEAAAAAT
It's an outsdanding job. I'll keep watching!!!
Love it. It’s like fans are throwing the middle finger at Disney.
Fascinating, such detail, I must say, if the star wars community that makes such fine models didn't exist I think the world would be a much more sad place, but the way you executed this...it is beyond my greatest compliment I can give
Hey man, submit this to Star Wars theory! On Monday’s podcast he announced a fan film contest! He and others will judge them on July 4th!
Yeah seriously!!! This deserves the attention.
"Do it!"
@swtheory ..
That was awesome!!!
Very nice but too short xD
Whoever's in charge of Star Wars these days... should definitely hire you guys, and give you full freedom in whatever you want to make.
The quaility of this work is just beyond words. Bravo.
I honestly can't tell the difference with an official production half the time and to be fair, it's more about the audio not being on par with the exceptionnal visuals. It has it all, from the models to the lighting and the smooth animation. Bravo !
Beautifully in-keeping with the SW universe we love, and full of excitement and drama!
What I love with this is the sparing use of stuff like shaky cam. The shots let you actually see what the hell is going on and you can feel the tension well. Would utterly kill for battles like this in the official movies more :/
The little details like the blast bolt glow on the star destroyer hull are especially nice, complimented by some great camera choices
Cantwell's destroyer has never looked better, I hope in the near future it gets canonized. Great work!
As Vader would say: “Impressive. Most Impressive!” 👏👏👏👏
Absolutely amazing! Loved the appearance of Henry’s larger Correlian Corvette!
A 2:05 minute video and I'm more excited then I was for they entire rey trilogy

I reckon that would be the last step in making it Star Wars and honestly, shouldn't be difficult considering your.talent and expertise in CG. Keep it up Skyforge!!!
Hollywood should really take notice of all the great fan made videos. They could learn a few things. 🖖
I love seeing Lighter Warships like Corvettes and Light Cruisers seeing more action, Great Job!!!
Jesus christ! This is probably the best looking visual effects I have seen in a fan film. Great job!
Straight-up Rogue One quality! Great job, SkyForge team!
honestly, a new skyforge fan film gets me just as excited, if not more, than official star wars stuff
The lighting is evocative of how the models looked in the OT. Beauty.
The last shot was breathtaking! Remarkable work, absolutely loved it
Woah, you should be extremely proud of the quality of work here. You're giving ILM a run for their money!!!
If only this had a live action bit amended to it, still the best star wars content I've seen in a while
Well, at least they put a homing beacon on one of the Corvettes, but MAN is the Emperor going to be steamed when he hears about this.
Incredible work!!! Keep it up!
I've seen all of these animations a dozen times now. This is what I want to see most out of Star Wars! The space battles always interested me most.
I was always disappointed we never got to see small skirmishes and battles in the rebellion because it is Star Wars thank you
This is without doubt, the most amazing Star Wars fan film I have ever seen. Give yourself one massive pat on the back sir!
It's everything I love in Star Wars, and it even tantalizes for more!
wow that was so cool now for the full movie plz
That view from inside the cockpit of the X-Wing is simply incredible :) Anyone flying a starfighter or similar craft IRL would have the biggest balls of steal lol
Love the reflection in the glass of the X-Wing cockpit! These really do look incredible, thanks! :)
This looked like it was done with models. Excellent stuff. I hope Disney continues to mix things up and give us CG and models in appropriate shows.
Astounding! Great work! Even the lighting feels “Star Wars”. Yes, the Cantwell Star Destroyer, so cool.
This looks so GOOD! the spacecraft movements seem so real and visceral, you've really nailed the feel of R1 level space combat! And the interior shot of the cockpit looking out? That was perfection. The lighting and render are just superb. So well done!
Empire forever!
nice this reminds me of the rogue squadron games but with movie level graphics
Better done and more exciting than 10,000 Star Destroyers that didn't know how to go UP on that last movie.
Your best work so far by far! It really has that rogue one feel, especially in the movements of the fighters. Genuinely excellent.
Man, this looks good. The star destroyer made the canon part of me try to identify it, until I realized that this was your take on a star destroyer. Can’t wait to see more!
So glad to have been a part of this are there is some serious talent on display - these VFX just keep getting better and better. Congrats on a job well done!
