Not only was it an incredible fan film that visually rivaled most high-budget productions, but this is also a genuinely great making-of video that actually gives a clear view into your process. And in just under 7 minutes! I really appreciated seeing the test footage at the start, too. Showing the software used for each step is an excellent detail that more productions should include.
As someone who's tried (and often failed) to use most of the programs you used when making this, all I can really say is that your skill level at each all those tools is beyond impressive! Well done, seriously.
My thoughts, exactly. I’ve dabbled in most of these and besides the consistent progress I continue to make in Blender, I’ve hit an unmovable wall in most of the programs shown. As a proficient photo and video editor, I never thought I could be so lost in creative software, but here we are lmao. Dude destroyed it.
@@Mac14329 Rogue One was a welcome surprise and is one of my fav star wars movie. But there wasn't much difference compared to legend story. Mando on it's own isn't that good if you're not familiar with the sw universe.
@@Bamelin01 I'll admit, I wasn't too keen on The Mandalorian at first, but I've grown to really like it. Helped me get more into the franchise, actually. Especially the season 2 finale.
@@Mac14329 Great to hear! Personally I love the EU of star wars, like the backstory of Han Solo. But after buying star wars disney throw huge parts of the plot away or rewrote it completly. And the sequel triology was a huge letdown :/
It's amazing how what would originally take an entire production crew to develop 20 years ago can now be animated by just one person. This level of animation is top-level and shouldn't be ignored. The offer is still up if you want to help us work on our saga.
Sure hope to see more like this. X-Wing got me excited for Star Wars far more than anything Disney has ever done, including Mandalorian, which I immensely enjoyed.
Pretty damn amazing what one person can do nowadays. Thank you for your hard work, I enjoyed the hell out ff it. Got goosebumps when the X-Wings formed up flying past the title... which is more emotion than I've felt watching the entirety of Obi-Wan so far.
Absolutely amazing film! One of my favorite eras of Star Wars is when the rebellion reorganizes into the new republic, and we are kind of starved with information about the battle of Coruscant. You provided amazing content on both! I love your work and I hope you can continue to make amazing projects like this one!
If I had the money and capability to do so, I would. But unfortunately I can’t since I don’t even have a business to begin with, much less money to hire.
I'd rather not have Disney/a corporation "disappear"/sequester another independent animator of some skill. Besides. Disney is clearly out of talent and wouldn't recognize a good idea if it bit them.
Absolutly fantastic ! We can feel the dedication and passion throughout the journey you are exposing ! Congratulation for this extraordinary achievement !
I'm floored. And that fact that I actually USE some of these programs too? Thank you... for ALL of this. Genius work, on the parts of everyone involved.
Well, I am working on something and your comment is close...... but not that close. I will be revealing that project with a teaser in a couple of months I think. Thanks for watching!
The harnessing of every resource available to you is tremendously inspirational. Even this breakdown is above what I can fathom lol. I wanna say compositing was the best part but really, you killed everything. The story, the flow, the execution and melding of VFX workflows, the sound…it would’ve been incredible for an entire team as a fan project, but that it was just one person makes it unbelievable. Well freaking done.
The amount of work to the details is scary good, my dream someday is to make a CIS battle if I can somehow learn how to animate eventually. B1's, B2 battle droids, Droideka's, Hellfires, AAT's, Munificents, Providences, Lucrehulks, Vultures, Hyena's.
This video was incredible. Thanks for posting! I was wondering though, what function do you use for the mass of background ships and dogfights? Is it a physics function for all the background fighters? Also I love that you included the Arquitens and the Victory Class SDs in the imperial fleet
I had to make the system completely in Houdini. I wouldn't call it physics per se but the starfighters did use some boid-like properties if you know what that is.
Just watched both the film and your making of, looks so good! Wish we had this level of graphics when we put Legacy of the Force together back in 2015. :) Kudos and MTFBWY!!!
Not gonna lie, a bunch of the shots shown here remind me a whole lot of the Rogue Squadron games... gosh, Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike really need multiplatform rereleases nowadays (with the latter probably getting a lot of fixes and improvements).
You had me at "Hello there". Absolutely love the energy in your work, dude! If you're interested in joining the MR team please let me know. We'd love to have you on board.
The main video still doesn't have enough views yet! My favorite fan film of all time, all that hard work really paid off! Great job man, looking forward to seeing what you do next. (Clone Wars could be cool lol)
Insane!!! INSANE!!!!!!! "And we will watch your career with the greatest interest!" Please, keep doing quality Star Wars content! Take your TIME in doing all this! Because this is what Disney is lacking greatly and pretty much everything else! P.S.: I SUBSCRIBED and shared your video!!!
This was an amazing achievement. If I'm not mistaken this was meant to be straight from the xwing book series. I think the second one. I was wandering that as soon as the super star destroyer rose from the ground. Which was isard peacing out.
I absolutely loved that fan film but the only thing I think would have made some of the work easier(in terms of asset usage) would have been to use some fog for the city like we see in Star Wars so it seems like there are clouds or just fog in the city
Impressive work man, loved watching the final product, but seeing these making of is always satisfying to watch, and seeing some of the technics and even the actors doing the acting was really neat. Great job you did there man.
Beautiful extensive work. UA-cam actually recommended your short film to me before I saw this video. It was very well done. The use of the DeepFake to enhance the facial animation was clever touch.
I have sympathetic PTSD now from seeing how many layers / tracks you comped in AE and Premiere. I'm curious about the stats...CPU, RAM, polys, minutes/frame...Really astounding work. That this took ONLY 4 years is kind of a miracle, IMHO. I worked for a year on just two scenes for a Kickstarter SciFi series, using Blender and AE - nowhere near as complex and it was still only the VFX, nevermind the models, textures, CLOTH(!), edit, composite, sound design and doing it all as a ONER....🤯. You should totes get paid more. 👍
This is just fucking cool! I can’t imagine how many hours it took to do this, but it’s for sure that nerves and endurance are needed here! I am silent about compositing, sound design and effects, modeling - how much time must have gone into one simulation and blockout! Brilliant, good luck! I want to work for you!!! Even for free!)))

"How many programs you used for this?"
"Yes"
hhahahaha. love it... I had to! it wasn't up to me!
I didn't know Kosh animated Star Wars fan films.
You've earned my awe, my subscription, and my respect.
Very cool! You guys should be featured on Corridor Crew or something. Excellent work!
this aged well
This is incredible. I enjoyed it way more than whatever disney is currently doing. Thanks for your work!
Pathetic Man Child be like:
Not even Rogue One or The Mandalorian?

The amount of work and handling the complexity by one artist needs literally some serious Jedi skills.
My machine is crying out in pain because it spent a moment contemplating rendering all of that.
Sure hope to see more like this. X-Wing got me excited for Star Wars far more than anything Disney has ever done, including Mandalorian, which I immensely enjoyed.
Not even Rogue One?
@@Mac14329 I did like Rogue One, though having been a fan of the Stackpole books since their release, this far surpassed Rogue One for me

I’m crying looking at this masterpiece of a process 100% RESPECT!!!
That is beyond impressive! Congratulations! 👏
this is incredible! ive never been so impressed with a "making of" before, so much work
This probably took hundreds and hundreds of hours of work, but the result it's amazing 💯
You are the MAN. Looking forward to your next project with great anticipation.
The greatest fan made Star Wars creation.
Best star wars fan animation i have ever seen
10 months has gone by already? jeez, still a masterpiece.
More care and attention for Star Wars than I've seen in the last 10 years. Hire this guy!
If I had the money and capability to do so, I would. But unfortunately I can’t since I don’t even have a business to begin with, much less money to hire.
Disney should hire this man!!! AMAZING masterpiece
They’ll probably just copy it and call their own, since they have no imagination.
@@adamln1977 emotional damage
I'd rather not have Disney/a corporation "disappear"/sequester another independent animator of some skill. Besides. Disney is clearly out of talent and wouldn't recognize a good idea if it bit them.
They won't because he actually respects Star Wars.
@@adamln1977 Yeah, very true.
Amazing to see how it was made. On comment: Needs more Y-wings. :P
Absolutly fantastic ! We can feel the dedication and passion throughout the journey you are exposing ! Congratulation for this extraordinary achievement !
You have worked gallantly! Worthy of recognition in the archives of the Jedi. You are setting the bar high! Keep up the great work.
I'm floored.
And that fact that I actually USE some of these programs too?
Thank you... for ALL of this.
Genius work, on the parts of everyone involved.
Incredible.
Ridiculous amount of work guys! Really worth it for the end result, much respect from a fellow 3d artist!
I never felt that woah feeling I had during rots opening in theaters as a kid until watching this thanks man
The amount of work that went in this is incredible! Awe-inspiring
The idea that you pulled all this off by yourself/with minimal help/crew is mind-blowing, and very inspirational!
Sequel when!! Something clone wars would be sick!!
Well, I am working on something and your comment is close...... but not that close. I will be revealing that project with a teaser in a couple of months I think. Thanks for watching!
@@nobleengine clone wars related 👀 👀 👀
@@scarletoil7520 more prequel related than clone wars.
@@nobleengine The High Republic... OR a prequel to X Wing
Ha. My little laptop would fry if I used all those programs.
I just make small animations using Blender.
GREAT JOB on this project.
How can one person have so much talent? This must be what genius looks like.

Well freaking done.
Can't believe you did all this by yourself. Talk about a labor of love.
This is both inspiring to watch and exhausting to contemplate.
One of the best fan film I've ever seen! 7 minutes of pure StarWars, felt way better than the 6 hours of the sequels
This is insane an amount of work
You deserve more ratings and support
The amount of work to the details is scary good, my dream someday is to make a CIS battle if I can somehow learn how to animate eventually. B1's, B2 battle droids, Droideka's, Hellfires, AAT's, Munificents, Providences, Lucrehulks, Vultures, Hyena's.
It was amazing your hard work really paid off
Thanks for this. This answered on of my questions and that was if the faces were 100% CG or composited in, and the answer is yes.
This video was incredible. Thanks for posting!
I was wondering though, what function do you use for the mass of background ships and dogfights? Is it a physics function for all the background fighters?

@@nobleengine I do! I've never done much with Boids in Blender but I know what they are. Is it particle instancing?
@@nobleengine I was wondering if you used boids for the ships! Definitely opens my eyes to more creative uses of it!
This level of skill combined with AI? The next generation of movies are going to be amazing
Saw this a couple years back and been wondering about it I meant to subscribe ! This is cool asf to watch
Fire Disney and everyone there ….. hire this guy ;)
Just watched both the film and your making of, looks so good! Wish we had this level of graphics when we put Legacy of the Force together back in 2015. :) Kudos and MTFBWY!!!
The force is strong with you ! Bravo ! Vivement la suite !
Dude this is seriously impressive, the amount of up industry standard software you obviously can use at a high level is insane
Epic level of work and range of tools used.. great to see it..
So. MUCH . Work! But it kicks butt - bravo!
Just SICK - love seeing projects like this keeps my nose to the grindstone on my own - CAN WE GET SOME Y-WING LOVE?
Amazing work, congratulations! Compositing all this in AE is nuts, you guys are very brave XD
Incredible job for a small setup.
Your work rival big studios with million dollar budget.
Hoolly shit maaan, you are waay better than disney right now !! Keep going, your work is amazig !
Bravo! This got me back into the X-Wing legend books, so thank you
Best SW video I've seen in a while. Awesome look behind the scenes.
I'm so happy for yall. Yall made an incredible finished product
Not gonna lie, a bunch of the shots shown here remind me a whole lot of the Rogue Squadron games... gosh, Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike really need multiplatform rereleases nowadays (with the latter probably getting a lot of fixes and improvements).
I was really impressed.
Now I'm even more impressed!
This was so much fun!!
So this is how you made it. I will take in mind whej I make my own fan series. Thanks for making this.
You had me at "Hello there". Absolutely love the energy in your work, dude!
If you're interested in joining the MR team please let me know. We'd love to have you on board.
That would be one hell of a team up. This is awesome.
Amazing! Full of respect!

Awesome! Thanks for the breakdown!
Thanks for this masterpiece.
this is an impressive process. your hard work will be appreciated by nerds the world over 😸
What a wonderful job! Eternal respect 👍
The effort is well and the graphics make it more better
Breathtaking 🔥🔥 so much work!! And a diverse workflow... Great one 👍
Insane!!! INSANE!!!!!!! "And we will watch your career with the greatest interest!"
Please, keep doing quality Star Wars content! Take your TIME in doing all this! Because this is what Disney is lacking greatly and pretty much everything else!
P.S.: I SUBSCRIBED and shared your video!!!
so crazy how you even manage such complex scenes
Carry on. Look forward to your next project. You have an brilliant talent
This was an amazing achievement. If I'm not mistaken this was meant to be straight from the xwing book series. I think the second one. I was wandering that as soon as the super star destroyer rose from the ground. Which was isard peacing out.
Loved watching your workflow. Your pc must be a beast.
I am in awe you were able to make this in old blender
Impressive! Most impressive!
I absolutely loved that fan film but the only thing I think would have made some of the work easier(in terms of asset usage) would have been to use some fog for the city like we see in Star Wars so it seems like there are clouds or just fog in the city

Simply amazing! You deserve 1 million subs. Looking forward to your next project.
I envy the day I can make something even remotely as good as this in 3D. I am in awe of how good this looks! Teach me your ways hahahaha!
Wow great production
Holy pop that's a hell of a lot of work! All I can say is thank you!
Beats the shit out of the new trilogy hands down!
I think you and your team have found your calling, it's load better than these "professionals " have greatest. 👍
Love your hard work and dedication. Looking forward for more. Starwar fan forever.
Outstanding
Amazing....
Absolutely brilliant 👏
Your doing amazing work👌😁
Incredible, this is so impressive!
This is some really impressive stuff, guys.
