    This has to be one of the most incredible fan films I have ever seen. The acting was on point, the story was well written, and the dialogue felt real. The pacing, an often underappreciated aspect, was also expertly done. It truly is insane to see work come out of fans that is, at least in some cases, far superior to the official media that Disney has been shoveling towards us. Great work all around guys.

      That's unfortunately not that difficult. Most of Disney writers have to jump through hideous amounts of red tape and plagiarism shorthand to have a group determine wether or not each line is in fact copywritable and if they can squeeze yet another marginalized group into any fragments that remain.

    This is one of the most original, intelligent and well presented and produced fan film I’ve seen for a long time.
    The idea of two adversaries joining forces to survive is a well used trope, but applying it the way you did in the Star Wars universe was masterful. Reminding us that Ewoks are not cuddly little Teddy Bears was a good call and the performances by the principals were totally believable. The score while inspired by Williams, was sufficiently original to convey the feeling of a Star Wars score yet maintained its own identity.
    Thank for a very entertaining interlude.

      This is so true.
      Ironically Disney had the perfect opportunity to tell us their story. They gave us Finn: An ordinary Imperial soldier who decided to defect. This is such an interesting concept and could have been made great use of telling us stories from a perspective we never saw before.
      Unfornately they failed all the way. They not only underused his character, but also quickly relegated him to the backstage and also making him a comic relief more than once.

    I've watched literally dozens of Star Wars fan films and none of them. NONE of them. Made me cry like this one. Absolute treasure this fan film. Thank you for making this! Y'all are legends and I truly hope you go far and continue making fan films. The acting, cinematography, fight coreography, character building, pure emotions, costumes, and props were just so on point. AND THAT TWIST WITH ALDERAAN!!!! OMG GENIUS!!!!!! Heart strings were pulled with that one. Everything was incredible and I loved every second.
    I can not put into words the depth of my amazement and joy in seeing such a well made film. Better than most of what Disney has produced in years. Nice job in outdoing them. Legendary🔥

    This is a well-crafted, beautifully written story. Sitting through this for half an hour was worth my time than the Sequel Trilogy. It felt like I was watching an episode of Andor due to the depiction of the darker side of the Rebellion in which not every rebel is a saint, yet that doesn't mean every Imperial is a rotten apple.
    I really like the bond that Scout and Princess developed along the way, and it was heartbreaking to see Scout learn that he can't go back home to Alderaan, that his daughter was on that planet when it was blown up, and how he sacrificed himself to give Princess a chance to return to his wife. I can't even forget to commend you for making the Ewoks scary as they should be, not to mention the humor and chemistry between the two protagonists, and the filming location for Endor, which also has grasslands and meadows as seen in the Ewok films.
    Nevertheless, this is an incredible journey and I hope you can keep telling more amazing stories that even George himself would be proud of. May the Force be with you.
