    The beginning where they have an exchange about tie fighters, the trooper wanting to become a pilot, and ending with a very friendly farewell, was the most humanizing piece of star wars I have seen. The interaction highlighted the fact that some people believed in the empire until they were exposed to, or became victims of, its brutality. This whole video was extremely well done.

    I could totally see this as an extended series on Disney Plus, with this being the pilot episode. The actress for Pai was incredibly believable, and her initial belief in the good intentions of the imperials present on the planet made for a good contrast to other movies in the star wars saga. I thoroughly enjoyed this start to finish!

Showing her potential while still letting her naturally grow and develop.

    Please continue this story. Like others have mentioned, you can feel the fan love in this production, and is much better than Disney's ridiculous tampering with the story. To take Order 66, a known thing in the SW's Universe and build a story from that is well done, especially so organically done. Her being a fan of the 'Alliance' is a nice touch.

      They didn't get bogged down by Hollywood politics. Kathleen Kennedy would have wanted to insist that the Uncle was replaced with a Aunt. Female Empowerment and all.
      Meanwhile Rian would have watched Ocean's 11, Saving Private Ryan, and Godzilla -King of Monsters, in order to get a feel on how to make a Star Wars film. And then of course, KK would insist on more of the cast being females. The pilot and his alien buddy would have to be dumbed down. They're far too competent for Rian+ KK's taste.
      And whatever you do please don't have a young white male villain. Not if Rian's going to direct your film. Otherwise he'll just woobify him from being a cruel murderer into being a sad , "misunderstood" puppy dog in need of loving.

No overly showy special effects that do nothing but detract from the story that is being told.
    I can't imagine how much passionate work from everyone involved went into this. Thank you very much for sharing your work with us all. Disney might not know what a star wars story should and could be, but this crew certainly does.

    in all these years this is by far the best production i have seen so far. Amazing story and plot twist. more emotions than in most official star wars conent. Additionally the Costumes were absolutely authentic, the scenes and sets were chosen very well to make it feel as distanced from earth but still somewhat similar. I mean it gave me the feeling that they're on some planet with a big forest within the star wars universe. Unlike the majority of other star wars fan content, where you constantly feel like you're watching some nerds playing with toys in a forest or garden. This one here is probably produced by a crew of producers and film makers who most likely learn this at a college or recently graduated. They not only chose amazing realistic cuts and scenes but they also had the color grading and all the post edits of the video material done very well. The VFX and CGI team did an outstanding job as well, not sure if its the same people who did the cutting and post edits but they did a really really good job! everything looked amazing, realistic and felt entirely authentic. Only one scene exists where i noticed one VFX mistake. When you see the phase 2 clones get the call from Palpatine commanding them to execute order 66, they fired red blaster shots out of the standard DC-15s... some of you might have noticed there is something off haha. the DC-15S fires blue blasts only. they only got similar guns that fire red shots..

Contrary to Rey which I didn't care two shits for and the only time she got any emotion out of me was when she supposedly died in ROS. But that joy quickly turned to anger when she got resurected. But even that anger went as quick as it came because that just how little I care for Rey that she can't even sustain my anger for her.

    This right here is an amazing fan film and something I have a special place in my heart for. Let me just say that this is absolutly insane for a fan film! It is super well made in every way! And the more and more i have started to care about star wars over the years (i always really liked it a lot but it kept growing and now im just in love with it. Not counting a bunch of modern stuff imo) and after watching these movies after a some time I finally understood some things here and it makes me really happy cause when i first saw those they confused me a little bit (and that is not the fault of the writer it was my fault for not knowing my star wars). But the real reason this holds a special place in my heart is cause of the memorie(s) tied to it. So I saw this at school when the creator of this fan film (aka kees van hattum) was there for a project week and i really found what he made incredibly impressive and i still think he is amazing! He really stared something for me, he was an inspiration for me to make my own story, someone i looked up to. well i am so happy i finally found this again cause it is still amazing! and tysm kees for setting me on this journey!
