Simple story. No Force user jammed down our throats. And a superb realisation. The feels are there, all of them. For half an hour, I was taken back to the original trilogy. That is the star wars I fell in love with as a kid.

Now that's how you make a Star Wars story. SPOILERS BELOW. The man in Return of the Jedi who cried when Luke killed the Rancor could possibly be the little boy in this movie? WOW! And, this movie is how Jabba got the Rancor in the first place. This is a prime example of a character driven story. Yes, flashy special effects help, but it's really all about characters.
That droid was an amazing character. Everything here was done well, but I loved how the droid cares for the boy, even to the point of going against its owner to protect him. And the design was a great variant of the typical protocol droid. Great job!
What a bizarre and unique angle to take with a fan film, yet it was so riveting. Incredible sets and costume design, felt like it was right out of the original trilogy.... Love the little bit with George at the end too
I think it's just a story following a average person in the universe, not a jedi or a smuggler or a princess. It reminds me of the ewok movie. It's like Luke Skywalker's life before he found out he wasn't just a moisture farmer. I think it was great because it didn't push it's boundaries too far like other fan films. Good set, props, actors, an effects. I agree it was very good, and different, which is something the series needs and adapts well for.

Yes. We've entered some kind of bizarro world, where fan films feel like the magical Star Wars we hunger for, and the big Disney Wars feel like fan films that don't know what Star Wars is about.
Jεε¥☯ñG you’re totally correct on his backstory. Since it’s Legends and relatively unknown, we came up with our own backstory that felt more compelling and interesting.

To think a fan film about the rancor monster's owner could be this good, well done ! I legit got original trilogy vibes when I saw the first longshot of the boy walking in the desert with his droid.
Níłch’i naalkidí ᛏᛖᛚᛖᚹᛁᛋᛁᛟᚾ दूरदर्शन التلفاز they are actually found native on a few planets but yes Felucia is one that has rancors. I’m not aware of Tatooine having rancor in their ecosystem but it might not be a totally impossible idea that a few were living in caves. Maybe even smuggled on the planet at one point.
Hahahahahahaha hahaha! That kid grows up to be the fat guy hugging the corpse of the Rancor Luke kills in Return of the Jedi. This is actually awesome. A seemingly unimportant character given an interesting origin story.
You really have to read Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina. It's awesome. It digs into the life of everyone in the cantina when Ben cut that brutes arm off.
@@beasthunt tales from Jabbas palace actually tells the story of how Malakili came to be with his pet Rancor. Does the same thing, the book delves into a lot of the characters backstories and how they came to be

This short 20 min. fan film likely made on a shoestring budget had more charm, character, soul, and creativity than a multi-million dollar studio produced film...this IS how Star Wars should be.

That was magnificent. This film had so much soul. It's not often that you run into a gem but when you do the feeling is amazing. Thank you to everyone who poured their hearts into making this.
BEst minor Star wars story flik I've seen thus far..VERY good production values..doesn't feel CHEAP at all...Love it...the NEW Gold standard for Star wars Short stories I Think...
@@rainlsd figured it out about half way, for sure, but suspected it since I first saw the egg. Kind of fooled myself though. I kept thinking of The Force Unleashed and how Rancors are supposed to be native to some kind of jungle planet. I literally said "It has to be the rancor from ROTJ, but why would their be a rancor nest on Tatooine?"
Everything in this film is first rate, from the production, story, actors, filming, costumes, special effects, and music. It's as if Lucas and his production company wrote and filmed the entire story. I would have never guessed this is a "fan film." Congrats! Everyone should win an award for the great work done on this film. 👍
Of all the Star Wars fan movies about Troopers, Jedis, Sith etc this has to be the most genuine, Star Wars feeling fan movies out there. When I finally clicked who he was after the One Year later transition I literally had a huge smile on my face!! Well done guys!! (Also the cinematography, scene transitions, locations, creatures, props and characters all felt 100% Star Wars!!!)
Right? When I saw the kid with the goggles and head wear I knew exactly who this was about and I loved it. I can see this kid working for Jabba for decades as his monster wrangler and now makes the death of the Rankor in Jedi that much more impactful.
well I can tell you 2 things right now. #1 it's not the best film in the entire galaxy and #2 even if it is that's not saying much because only one planet so far has films and you're standing on it.
Hats off to the production of this film. This is how you properly flesh out the characters that will makes the movie all the while relevant; how did people end up in Jabba's lair, there must be a story, whether long or short, light or dark there's a story and it matters to us. Not that Rey looking at the mirrors reflecting her own image means anything to us. Just like Luke said," Why are you here?" If you can answer the question, that's the key to a successful movie.
Agreed. I chuckled when I read your post because I was sat, cynically waiting for a Sith Lord to appear behind a rock and then hear the fetishistic thrumming of a red lightsaber. This had the good vibes of a Star Wars spin-off from the eighties circa the Ewok movies era.

holy dathomirian rancor, boba fett!! that was fantastic. That poor poor crying man in Jabbas Palace... Now you know where that creature handler came from and it seems far more alluring than before.Got me all excited and nostalgic for my star wars galaxies days
Guys, this was incredible. I've never seen anything that felt so truly like Star Wars. I can't even say how amazing this felt. As far as I'm concerned this is canon haha!
No over acting, no over use of special effects, a good clean and easy to follow story line.......BRILLIANT! Its getting harder and harder to find good fan films. You have nailed it. A very genuine well done!!!!!!!!!!

I am a major consumer of STAR WARS Fan Films, this is one of the very best I have seen. So, this is the story of the Rancor Owner.. how awesome is that. Congratulations and May The Force Be With You... Always.
5 років тому
Joel Strieter could you please share? Which one are the others you consider good?
So awesome that you absolutely HAD TO SPOIL IT, right? But what for? 😒 Seriously, I was looking at the comments before watching the movie... I won’t do that again. It’s the first time I see a so called Star Wars fan spoiling the twist of a movie. Well done dude, don’t change anything 👍🏻
*Huge Spoiler inc* That was just awesome. I got goosebumps, when I just realized "The little boy is the Rancor-Master, who cried - when Luke killed his Pet".
Is it really a spoiler though? I knew who the kid was once I figured out it was on Tatooine and there was a big ceature chasing the person at the start. The real clincher was how the Big Boss woman was dressed a lot like the Rancor Keeper in Return of the Jedi. Pretty good story overall, although a weak spot was the fact that Rancor's aren't native to Tatooine but someone could have imported them at some point or the one at the beginning was Jabba's original Rancor who got loose, and a lot better origin story than what they have listed in Wookiepedia where he was born on Corellia and after a convoluted path ended up as Jabba the Hutt's slave and beastmaster.
Absolutely loved this short film, it is a brilliant back story to a character I was always intrigued by. This was such a high quality fan film I can almost believe its been sitting in George Lucas' vault for all this time and has just surfaced on the internet. The creators should be very proud

More believable than the sequel trilogy So authentic Amazing cinematography WOW Actual aliens and good environments done with practical effects and REAL locations(I hate marvel movies because too much CGI) I LOVE RANCORS The storytelling is right on beat with star wars (something about the sequel trilogy always felt folly, even after seeing the force awakens for the first time when I was only 15)
It is incredible! The real Star Wars universe was back for few very precious minutes, like by a time machine! You are the real tallent, the actors so good and true, almost impossible! Thanks!
i like the idea in this one that it went into detail showing how many young people in the star wars universe built or at least owned protocol droids for companionship
Everything about this was great! All the designs felt very Star-Wars-y, and it felt like part of the Star Wars world, rather than part of a Star Wars film set, which a lot of fan films end up looking like. All the acting was pretty decent too, and the sound effects and grittiness were Star Wars to a T. The music was especially great; it sounded like a live orchestra and had the same sort of sound as the A New Hope score. Admittedly, I cringed a bit with the orchestral Cantina Band reference because it was so ham-fisted, but other than that, I really liked the soundtrack! Well done, all! (I also liked the George Lucas clip at the end to really get a sense of where this idea came from)
It's a sad state of affairs when fan films are better and feel more like Star Wars films than actual Star Wars films. Bravo!! This was well done. Enjoyed every bit of it.

What an EXCELLENT back story. Makes Luke Skywalker look terrible for killing that little boy's pet rancor. Also makes it so much more understandable why the fuy cried when the rancor died
Extremely well done! You all certainly captured that good ol' Star Wars feel, and the effects were very well done. The droid was spot on. Thank you for this!
I come back and watch this every so often just because it’s truly inspiring. The amount of love put into this is truly something special. I look up to everyone who had a part in putting this together.
Spectacular fan film! Everyone did a great job on keeping the spirit of Star Wars intact! Definitely felt like I was in the SW universe with a flavor of the original trilogy! Great characters, acting costumes, locations and plot as well. 10 out of 10 for me! Hopefully you guys will put another one out in the future.
Out of all the fan made star wars movies, that I've seen, on youtube this is by far the best, #1. Most Excellent!!! It was in the star wars universe, yet not trying to be star wars, it self. This had me so compelled & focused on the story, plot & characters, not having a clue to that this would, fit into Return of the Jedi. WOW!!! Hats off to the cast and crew, that's how you display great story telling. I like to think, this mini-movie was a deleted, flash back scene, in ROJ, of the man reminiscing on how, him & Rancor the monster, began, a friendship, after him seeing the monster get killed, by Luke. Keep up the awesome, work, guys.😀 and may the force be with you!!!
Sweet and touching, very cool story ! I figured he was Malakili and the "monster" was the Rancor for sure (i was hesitating with a Wampa) right after the "one year later" seeing his new garments ! And then Jabba's small barge arriving totally made me smile and got the whole thing ! :D
The Droid (O-TK) and the Droid voice actor were superb. In such a short time they were successful in making the viewer form a real connection to the Droid. Outstanding. Make-up was great too and the location.
Enjoyed by myself.. and your mission is accomplished. Better than recent movies. Isn't it funny how these fan films can be better than the multi million dollar ones. Well done.
This was probably the best Star Wars fan film I've seen. And as a filmmaker myself, i was extremely impressed with the production quality, special effects and authentic feel to Star Wars. And the nerd in me is going nuts realizing at the end that it was Malakili the Rancor Master. Awesome job!
Goosebumps! I felt more for these characters in 15 mins than I did in either of the Disney trilogy films to thus far. This was truly incredibly and masterfully done. I would love to see what you could do with a Disney scale budget.
I watched this I know 25 times! I love it. It has Star Wars “mojo” and it’s got solid bones in the makeup of the story! Very very well done and Bravo to the cast and crew
Excellent job. Wow. I have no idea what the actual budget was but the production value on this story, film, vfx, etc was amazing. So good. Thanks for your time and efforts on this one. As far as I'm concerned, it's cannon. :) Congrats!
@@NickMahar You were the D.P. I have to give you major props. I'm very into cinematography myself, and this was was just epic. I want to see the world move back into this classical style of cinematography. Storytelling is so much more effective when the camera isn't shaking around like someone having a spaz attack was operating it, and shooting into the lights for an abundance of lens flares. Thank you! Good work my friend.
This felt like it was so true to the Star Wars spirit. The music was good. The creatures were amazing. The actors were pretty good. Definitely adding to my favorite fan films list. And I love how you gave a meaningful backstory to a character that was only in Return of the Jedi for a matter of seconds.

Oh boy, the shots, the locations, the incredible work on the props, the weird looking people (too bad Big Boss was a little bit over the top acting-wise, but she made it up with that obnoxious face as she turns off the kid's hologram), the little boy and the droid (such great acting), the relationship between them (first time we see a droid take such fatherly care of a boy), the unspoken hints (how the boy hates the empire, which is shown just by his casting the stormtrooper helmet aside)... This is how you create off of something : you take the best of it and expand just a little more. It's all summed up in how you went from 3PO to your version of the droid. But you did it with every little detail. I am speechless in front of such quality work. This is why we fell in love with SW in the first place, and you're putting it all back on the table.
This is so good and so hearty. It makes me sad that Disney can't get with the program when it comes to telling a basic story without screwing it up. That last little snip of George Lucas talking about the Rancor's keeper loving him almost brought me to tears. I completely forgot about that little touch in the original trilogy.
The most important thing that I found in this fan film wasn't just the quality, but that it felt like Star Wars. From the puppets, to the editing, even the humor here or there. Great job guys, amazing job.
Tim Villarreal Thanks Tim! Much appreciated. From the very beginning, the goal was to maintain the look and feel of the original trilogy.
Exactly great fucking job. I'm gonna share this with all my star wars fan friends

What scene in which star wars movie?
Justin Z. Return of The Jedi, the rancor fight.
"It" is a Rancor....FYI ! :)
I actually thought it was a Krayt dragon until the barge came along and the kid was wearing the head-scarf like the rancor keeper does in Jedi.

SPOILERS BELOW.
The man in Return of the Jedi who cried when Luke killed the Rancor could possibly be the little boy in this movie? WOW! And, this movie is how Jabba got the Rancor in the first place.
This is a prime example of a character driven story. Yes, flashy special effects help, but it's really all about characters.
"could possibly be?
it's 100% explicitly supposed to be the little boy in this movie
The Rancor keepers name is Malakili. I instantly thought the same thing
@L1qu1d S1lenc3r flashy special effects are fine when used to enhance a good story, not as a substitute
That droid was an amazing character. Everything here was done well, but I loved how the droid cares for the boy, even to the point of going against its owner to protect him. And the design was a great variant of the typical protocol droid. Great job!
What a bizarre and unique angle to take with a fan film, yet it was so riveting. Incredible sets and costume design, felt like it was right out of the original trilogy.... Love the little bit with George at the end too
I think it's just a story following a average person in the universe, not a jedi or a smuggler or a princess. It reminds me of the ewok movie. It's like Luke Skywalker's life before he found out he wasn't just a moisture farmer. I think it was great because it didn't push it's boundaries too far like other fan films. Good set, props, actors, an effects. I agree it was very good, and different, which is something the series needs and adapts well for.

This little film gave me a 1977 smile!!The OHHHH moment was so reminiscent of the original trilogy.
I felt like I was actually watching Star Wars.
Yes. We've entered some kind of bizarro world, where fan films feel like the magical Star Wars we hunger for, and the big Disney Wars feel like fan films that don't know what Star Wars is about.
Agreed. It was rather enjoyable.
I mean. We never really thought much about the Rancor Keeper's backstory.
Totally awesome.
Same.
Jεε¥☯ñG you’re totally correct on his backstory. Since it’s Legends and relatively unknown, we came up with our own backstory that felt more compelling and interesting.
This feels like an actual Star Wars film!!! Loved it

To think a fan film about the rancor monster's owner could be this good, well done ! I legit got original trilogy vibes when I saw the first longshot of the boy walking in the desert with his droid.
Definitely felt that old school tatooine. Awesome job they did.
I could be wrong... but I thought rancors were native to Felucia?
Níłch’i naalkidí ᛏᛖᛚᛖᚹᛁᛋᛁᛟᚾ दूरदर्शन التلفاز they are actually found native on a few planets but yes Felucia is one that has rancors. I’m not aware of Tatooine having rancor in their ecosystem but it might not be a totally impossible idea that a few were living in caves. Maybe even smuggled on the planet at one point.
+Nate
Ahh cool.
Nate someone on reddit brought this up as well but after more research it was found that they were captured and taken to other places a lot
Hahahahahahaha hahaha! That kid grows up to be the fat guy hugging the corpse of the Rancor Luke kills in Return of the Jedi. This is actually awesome. A seemingly unimportant character given an interesting origin story.
That's funny. I thought he was Anakin. Birth of a Monster?
Either way, well done.
You really have to read Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina. It's awesome. It digs into the life of everyone in the cantina when Ben cut that brutes arm off.
I assumed it was him. Malakili.
@Jεε¥☯ñG that's true, but this is such a nice backstory!
@@beasthunt tales from Jabbas palace actually tells the story of how Malakili came to be with his pet Rancor. Does the same thing, the book delves into a lot of the characters backstories and how they came to be

Yep its güd!
BigBill Lucas so true, totally agree!
The droid is amazing, and the language he's speaking sound like legit huttese. And the music is very John Williams-esque.
Love this!

Everithing you just said is right
BEst minor Star wars story flik I've seen thus far..VERY good production values..doesn't feel CHEAP at all...Love it...the NEW Gold standard for Star wars Short stories I Think...
Disney please hire these guys to make more of these !! This is just amazing--it captures the essence of Star Wars.
I’ve yet to pick up my jaw from the floor, the cinematography is just amazing!

Wonderful!!! Hits you like a ton of bricks when you realize who this character is. Well done!
Totally agree :)
Well said. So true. I loved it.
Loved the Ah-ha moment !
The short scene of him sobbing as an adult in ROTJ is not so funny anymore.
@@rainlsd figured it out about half way, for sure, but suspected it since I first saw the egg. Kind of fooled myself though. I kept thinking of The Force Unleashed and how Rancors are supposed to be native to some kind of jungle planet. I literally said "It has to be the rancor from ROTJ, but why would their be a rancor nest on Tatooine?"
Everything in this film is first rate, from the production, story, actors, filming, costumes, special effects, and music. It's as if Lucas and his production company wrote and filmed the entire story. I would have never guessed this is a "fan film." Congrats! Everyone should win an award for the great work done on this film. 👍
This was excellent. As well as getting Steve Blum and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as voices..... thats top tier talent for this fan film.
Brilliant. Best fan-film I've seen. Looks professionally made and avoided all the usual cliches.
Amazing! Congratulations on a truly spectacular job. I will never see Return of the Jedi the same way again.
Grande Apolo!!, llegué a este film gracias a usted
Hola senado:v soy un trooper e llegado a este video gracias a usted
Gracias por recomendarme, grande Apolo!!
indeed
Gracias apolo!
Of all the Star Wars fan movies about Troopers, Jedis, Sith etc this has to be the most genuine, Star Wars feeling fan movies out there. When I finally clicked who he was after the One Year later transition I literally had a huge smile on my face!! Well done guys!! (Also the cinematography, scene transitions, locations, creatures, props and characters all felt 100% Star Wars!!!)
Right? When I saw the kid with the goggles and head wear I knew exactly who this was about and I loved it. I can see this kid working for Jabba for decades as his monster wrangler and now makes the death of the Rankor in Jedi that much more impactful.
Came here to say exactly this. Perfect!
THIS IS THE BEST FAN FILM IN THE ENTIRE GALAXY!
just look the vader fan film of star wars theory
well I can tell you 2 things right now. #1 it's not the best film in the entire galaxy and #2 even if it is that's not saying much because only one planet so far has films and you're standing on it.
Hats off to the production of this film. This is how you properly flesh out the characters that will makes the movie all the while relevant; how did people end up in Jabba's lair, there must be a story, whether long or short, light or dark there's a story and it matters to us. Not that Rey looking at the mirrors reflecting her own image means anything to us. Just like Luke said," Why are you here?" If you can answer the question, that's the key to a successful movie.
Finally a fanfilm that isn't just people hitting each other with lightsabers for 15 minutes.
Darth maul cough
Hahaha true...I didn't have to fast forward this one.
And the dialogue wasn’t cringe either.
Agreed. I chuckled when I read your post because I was sat, cynically waiting for a Sith Lord to appear behind a rock and then hear the fetishistic thrumming of a red lightsaber. This had the good vibes of a Star Wars spin-off from the eighties circa the Ewok movies era.

Young Malakili and his Rancor... what a brilliant story and played absolutely trustworthy 👍🏻💪🏻 felt like Star Wars indeed 🙏🏻
This was really well done! A+ on the designs and the reveal at the end. I consider this canon now. Thank you.

Well done, had me captivated. I didn't figure it out until the scene after "One Year Later" and was like Ahhhh. Up until then I was like its a Krayt Dragon!!!!
Kenn 42917 SAME DUDE!
Exact same here. Then I saw him with the headscarf watching the skiff and it all clicked it place perfectly.
I saw the claws and my thought was a rancor then I just wondered if it happened to be the same. And shit. Very well do e
If you pay close enough attention the beast woman is wearing some of the Rancor Keeper's baubles the second time she's shown.
Yeah man! Had me same. Then I saw what he was wearing and I was like, is it? Is that the rancor keeper!?! Effing brilliant!
Amazing work and beautifully shot. A lot of people are going to enjoy this. Congratulations and I hope to see more.
If you like, please share, thank you

BEST SW FAN FILM EVER MADE. Most authentic, original, & pro. Perfect!
I really like the parallels between the scenes at the entrance of the cave. And the scene where Luke goes to Jabbas Palace in Return.
This was one of the best fan films ever! Now I’m going to watch Return of the Jedi for that one scene!
The puppets would make George Lucas proud!
I mean George was no fan of them, and would cgi the hell out of em if he could.
But they do make me happy.
Maybe, I mean the guy did switch to CGI immediately. Jim Henson and Frank Oz, on the other hand....

Guys, this was incredible. I've never seen anything that felt so truly like Star Wars. I can't even say how amazing this felt. As far as I'm concerned this is canon haha!
No over acting, no over use of special effects, a good clean and easy to follow story line.......BRILLIANT! Its getting harder and harder to find good fan films. You have nailed it. A very genuine well done!!!!!!!!!!

I am a major consumer of STAR WARS Fan Films, this is one of the very best I have seen. So, this is the story of the Rancor Owner.. how awesome is that. Congratulations and May The Force Be With You... Always.
Joel Strieter could you please share? Which one are the others you consider good?
So awesome that you absolutely
HAD TO SPOIL IT, right?
But what for? 😒
Seriously, I was looking at the comments before watching the movie...
I won’t do that again.
It’s the first time I see a so called Star Wars fan spoiling the twist of a movie.
Well done dude,
don’t change anything 👍🏻
It really is the best I've ever seen. Where'd it come from? Why are there so few subscribers and views?
Hey....you got a rush from throwing out the spoiler, didn't you?
This really felt like a Star Wars film.
Now I understand why he cried so much in ROTJ.
Excellent job.
*Huge Spoiler inc*
That was just awesome. I got goosebumps, when I just realized "The little boy is the Rancor-Master, who cried - when Luke killed his Pet".
This was an awesome origin story. This IS how Star Wars should be!
Same here !!! Thought was great story more so with that realization.
But which of the two is the "monster"?
why would you spoil that?
Is it really a spoiler though? I knew who the kid was once I figured out it was on Tatooine and there was a big ceature chasing the person at the start. The real clincher was how the Big Boss woman was dressed a lot like the Rancor Keeper in Return of the Jedi. Pretty good story overall, although a weak spot was the fact that Rancor's aren't native to Tatooine but someone could have imported them at some point or the one at the beginning was Jabba's original Rancor who got loose, and a lot better origin story than what they have listed in Wookiepedia where he was born on Corellia and after a convoluted path ended up as Jabba the Hutt's slave and beastmaster.
Absolutely loved this short film, it is a brilliant back story to a character I was always intrigued by. This was such a high quality fan film I can almost believe its been sitting in George Lucas' vault for all this time and has just surfaced on the internet. The creators should be very proud
The person playing OTK did an amazing job. Such wonderful acting, I was genuinely heartbroken when he died.
Thank you! Steve Blum, a very talented, prolific voice actor brought the voice to my physical performance as O-TK.
Without question the best fan film for Star Wars I've ever seen. Incredible cinematography , props and story.
Seriously dude? Smh...
Agreed, definitely a top shelf fan 🎥
Very beautiful.
For the love of God look up the Last padawan , I think... there's a cool obi wan one too. And Shards of the Past is excellent too.
if its the best, search a tad more bucketheads, last padawan, about a dozen more i have saved. This is well put together and well worth a watch
Looks great, captures the grubbiness of Tattoine, love the fainting gamorrean when he sees the rancor. Marvellous indeed.

he's from the planet Corellia and the Rancor is from the planet Dathomir. but other than that, was very well made, and and good back story
I’ve seen them all, this is the very best SW fan film yet. So well done. Wish the other prequels had been that creative and true to the original. Nice work, put a huge smile on this old SW nerd’s face!
Bravo!!!! The best fan made film without a jedi and lightsabers involved. Well done
loved it i thought i was watching a original star wars movie . clap clap clap . Thank you
Captured the essence of George Lucas for Star Wars great job . The ending was canon

This had more Star Wars heart than the new Disney Trilogy. This was so sweet and well thought out. Loved it!
Such an amazing movie! Absolutely blown away! Star Wars the way it’s supposed to be done!
More believable than the sequel trilogy
So authentic
Amazing cinematography WOW
Actual aliens and good environments done with practical effects and REAL locations(I hate marvel movies because too much CGI)
I LOVE RANCORS
The storytelling is right on beat with star wars (something about the sequel trilogy always felt folly, even after seeing the force awakens for the first time when I was only 15)
It is incredible! The real Star Wars universe was back for few very precious minutes, like by a time machine! You are the real tallent, the actors so good and true, almost impossible! Thanks!
Well done!!! I’m proud of my uncle and father for this amazing film!!!
Ragae/ Aidan Glad you liked it bud! ❤️
@@ianeskander6582 should have had the rancor eat one of the guards for old times sake
A-10 Thunderbolt II Maybe in part II ha ha. Appreciate the suggestions.
i like the idea in this one that it went into detail showing how many young people in the star wars universe built or at least owned protocol droids for companionship
Everything about this was great! All the designs felt very Star-Wars-y, and it felt like part of the Star Wars world, rather than part of a Star Wars film set, which a lot of fan films end up looking like. All the acting was pretty decent too, and the sound effects and grittiness were Star Wars to a T. The music was especially great; it sounded like a live orchestra and had the same sort of sound as the A New Hope score. Admittedly, I cringed a bit with the orchestral Cantina Band reference because it was so ham-fisted, but other than that, I really liked the soundtrack! Well done, all! (I also liked the George Lucas clip at the end to really get a sense of where this idea came from)
It's a sad state of affairs when fan films are better and feel more like Star Wars films than actual Star Wars films.
Bravo!! This was well done. Enjoyed every bit of it.
60 year old grampa man says 'thank you, thank you very much!' When I was just a little boy, a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away .... Like going back home again. what a perfect film. The Force lives.

What an EXCELLENT back story. Makes Luke Skywalker look terrible for killing that little boy's pet rancor. Also makes it so much more understandable why the fuy cried when the rancor died
Extremely well done! You all certainly captured that good ol' Star Wars feel, and the effects were very well done. The droid was spot on. Thank you for this!
I come back and watch this every so often just because it’s truly inspiring. The amount of love put into this is truly something special. I look up to everyone who had a part in putting this together.
Spectacular fan film! Everyone did a great job on keeping the spirit of Star Wars intact! Definitely felt like I was in the SW universe with a flavor of the original trilogy! Great characters, acting costumes, locations and plot as well. 10 out of 10 for me! Hopefully you guys will put another one out in the future.
Best Star Wars monster fan film ever.
Nothing will even come close.
Out of all the fan made star wars movies, that I've seen, on youtube this is by far the best, #1. Most Excellent!!! It was in the star wars universe, yet not trying to be star wars, it self. This had me so compelled & focused on the story, plot & characters, not having a clue to that this would, fit into Return of the Jedi. WOW!!! Hats off to the cast and crew, that's how you display great story telling. I like to think, this mini-movie was a deleted, flash back scene, in ROJ, of the man reminiscing on how, him & Rancor the monster, began, a friendship, after him seeing the monster get killed, by Luke. Keep up the awesome, work, guys.😀 and may the force be with you!!!
Sweet and touching, very cool story ! I figured he was Malakili and the "monster" was the Rancor for sure (i was hesitating with a Wampa) right after the "one year later" seeing his new garments ! And then Jabba's small barge arriving totally made me smile and got the whole thing ! :D
The Droid (O-TK) and the Droid voice actor were superb. In such a short time they were successful in making the viewer form a real connection to the Droid. Outstanding. Make-up was great too and the location.
Enjoyed by myself.. and your mission is accomplished. Better than recent movies. Isn't it funny how these fan films can be better than the multi million dollar ones. Well done.
This was probably the best Star Wars fan film I've seen. And as a filmmaker myself, i was extremely impressed with the production quality, special effects and authentic feel to Star Wars. And the nerd in me is going nuts realizing at the end that it was Malakili the Rancor Master. Awesome job!
Goosebumps! I felt more for these characters in 15 mins than I did in either of the Disney trilogy films to thus far. This was truly incredibly and masterfully done. I would love to see what you could do with a Disney scale budget.
Yep. I want O-TK resurrected asap! He's too good for this short amount of screentime.
I agree. The infernal mouse has no business messing this franchise up. Regardless of all their dollars.
Spectacular.... for what reason has anyone given this a thumbs down? The effort alone, and execution is outstanding.
I watched this I know 25 times! I love it. It has Star Wars “mojo” and it’s got solid bones in the makeup of the story! Very very well done and Bravo to the cast and crew
This is actually pretty good. Lucas would be proud
Are you joking? Remake it and add a bunch of unnecessary cgi, change some critical plot elements here and there, then Lucas would be proud indeed.
Excellent job. Wow. I have no idea what the actual budget was but the production value on this story, film, vfx, etc was amazing. So good. Thanks for your time and efforts on this one. As far as I'm concerned, it's cannon. :) Congrats!
We essentially didn't have a budget. besides some hard costs for build the set. otherwise lots of dedicated individuals donating lots of time!
@@NickMahar You were the D.P. I have to give you major props. I'm very into cinematography myself, and this was was just epic. I want to see the world move back into this classical style of cinematography. Storytelling is so much more effective when the camera isn't shaking around like someone having a spaz attack was operating it, and shooting into the lights for an abundance of lens flares. Thank you! Good work my friend.
Pantheragem thank you so much!
The faith this movie has to the OT is incredible. The shots, the scenery, the puppets, the dialogues, the sounds, the music. Thx for that!
The cinematography is spot-on. Totally Lucas feeling, and that's a damn good thing.
this is the BEST star wars fan movie ever !!! I love it !!
This felt like it was so true to the Star Wars spirit. The music was good. The creatures were amazing. The actors were pretty good. Definitely adding to my favorite fan films list. And I love how you gave a meaningful backstory to a character that was only in Return of the Jedi for a matter of seconds.

Great twist. It was only at 16:30 when I recognized his outfit and was like, "Oh, shit. He's Malakili."
such a different approach towards a Star Wars fan film and its the best by far! Amazing job. Little sirs acting is outstanding!

Oh boy, the shots, the locations, the incredible work on the props, the weird looking people (too bad Big Boss was a little bit over the top acting-wise, but she made it up with that obnoxious face as she turns off the kid's hologram), the little boy and the droid (such great acting), the relationship between them (first time we see a droid take such fatherly care of a boy), the unspoken hints (how the boy hates the empire, which is shown just by his casting the stormtrooper helmet aside)... This is how you create off of something : you take the best of it and expand just a little more. It's all summed up in how you went from 3PO to your version of the droid. But you did it with every little detail. I am speechless in front of such quality work. This is why we fell in love with SW in the first place, and you're putting it all back on the table.
I am pretty sure that was a clone helmet, not a stormtrooper helmet
This is so good and so hearty. It makes me sad that Disney can't get with the program when it comes to telling a basic story without screwing it up. That last little snip of George Lucas talking about the Rancor's keeper loving him almost brought me to tears. I completely forgot about that little touch in the original trilogy.
