After 6 months of production, my longest film yet is here! Let me know what you think!
It's a fu**ing masterpiece
Beautiful action
Quality over quantity. Thank you for the amazing work.
It’s incredible!
Love it!
Imagine if Finn’s story arc captured a mere fraction of the complexity and soul this short fan made film has.
There was this one fanfic where finn is the mc it was well written but i forget the name
Blame Disney they did that
@@b.johnathanwarriorinagarde7980 more like JJ Abrams and rian Johnson.
That’s what you gather after watching that?
Well no I gathered many other things such as how awesome
It is, but my intention was not to offend sequel lovers, I’m glad you like those movies and don’t want to take away from that.
When the stormtroopers actually cared enough to get everyone else to safety when they could have ran I felt that
All of the stormtroopers reactions when that one said to evacuate was like we don’t listen to you that’s y they stayed their ground
Fresh recruits who never seen any actions from the looks of it
They thought being in the middle of nowhere of a small facility after so many cycles made them think that it's impossible for an attack to happen and they let their guards down with troopers blasting at rocks to pass times by my guess
Any army who truly thinks he is safe in a time of war, in my opinion is a fool
@@jackthorton10 its less they thaught they were safe. They had long range sensors. The average unit who sees no action will have skills degrade.
@@OrDuneStudios Exactly
And the Imperial doesn’t go Turncoat! Yes! He stayed loyal!
so satisfying
A breath of fresh air.
Loved that about this, most Imperials are loyal to the end. So happy we saw that here and now again in Andor!
Yes! That annoyed me so much with Battlefront 2. I thought Iden’s character was great, pretty cliche, but it was still cool, and then she turned sides and I instantly hated her character.
@@Volsung84same😂
"May the Force Be With You" is simultaneously the most insulting and hopeful thing you can say to someone caught on the cusp of evil.
I read this as he said it and I literally got chills, Lucas needs to see this, this is absolutely more Canon than the Disney trilogy

Wow...this was so deep. Not all "Good Guys" have clean hands. Not all "Bad Guys" want blood on theirs. Amazing story.
The “I had friends on that station, now they’re gone” hit me in feels like a star destroyer
The death star needed to be destroyed, no questions and arguments. But yeah, the imp is right. there was half a million onboard. making Luke skywalker to one of the people with the highest body count in Star Wars.

This is what Fin's arch could've looked more like in terms of tone.
He was just wasted potential. Don't remind me
They wasted a good character, and replaced him with a shitty one.
We don’t speak of Finn
It could've been but they forgot to hire writers
good point. Man that character got stale quickly
"No one bad is ever truly bad, No one good is ever truly good."
"We all just...are"
Except emperor Palpatine right?
@@razorstorm2175 to quote Palpatine: "Good is a point of view"
Every war in a nutshell essentially
@@fearthewolf1175 only that once the war is over, the winning faction is the one that gets to write history...
That literally brought me to tears, it felt like star wars, it felt more star wars than anything Disney has put out.
Rogue one and andor: am i a joke to you
It dosent actually feel like starwars
But its what starwars should or atleast could have been
Showing both side perspective is rare these days because they needed one side to be completely evil to justify the "goodguys" action
Well it doesn't feel like George Lucas's star wars. He always said it was simply good Vs evil, which is totally different to what we see here. But that's a good thing imo, I wish official star wars would delve more into this side of things like rogue one did (meaning the rebels aren't just boy scout heros).
“ it’s troopers like you that bring us closer to peace “ Gillian 2021
The most touching moment in history is when two factions come together for peace
I wish there was more of that with all factions. If compassion in wartime happens in real life, then it should work in fantasy.
Imagine a Star Wars when both enemies are actually competent armies.
Ikr
Man, it makes things not a black and white story what i mean by that everything's pretty equal in sides.
Clone Wars basically. The droids weren't competent, but their competency came in numbers.
@@jasonvoorhees2507 Not realy, here have both sites good armys and only the numbers and ecuipmand is diferent

That's why his CO asked, he gave his trooper the choice to decide the outcome.
the stormtroopers are a lot more human than the guys not wearing helmets! this is the treatment Finn should have been given. I also love how everyone talks about their differences. I wish people would talk wars out like this.
I literally got chills watching this. Incredible story telling, I don't even know names but instantly was drawn into sympathy for both men. Not everyone following orders is evil on either side...and they may not always share the same views. But one thing they all have in common is the pain of losing someone or something. This was awesome! Please keep the untold stories coming!
I wish Star Wars Stormtroopers we’re like this. Stormtroopers have family, friends, and more. They’re not just worthless droids. Rebels get painted as good people and stormtrooper’s have their deaths pushed aside because they’re on the “bad” side.
Rebels and Clone Wars touched on this a time or two... it's a great point, I never liked the meme of "everyone in the imperial military is a mindless robot death machine". Lots of the Rebellion's finest were originally Imperial Military...
Yeah but they also aren’t more important than the rebels, and many officers were ruthless. So that’s why I hate the whole argument in general.
I mean, they are the bad side tho. You can humanize someone without agreeing with their morals.
@@murphyrutledge5590 well, some joined because there wasn’t a good job for them other than joining the army. Or they have a personal grudge against the rebels, the rebels did kill civilians in the comics. Don’t forget that.
You should read the Death Star novel.
Imagine if we got stormtroopers like this in Star Wars Rebels, would’ve given that show more depth in regards to showing the imperial side. Only one you can truly sympathize with is Kallus, whereas the Stormtroopers themselves are treated like jokes and given no defining qualities. But ultimately the goal of Rebels was just the formation of the Rebellion, so to that degree I could understand why the imperial side wasn’t humanized.
Aside from the odd mouth movements, the animation was very well done and at times felt like real people were filmed, like the stormtroopers at target practice.
If I’m not mistaken, all of the movements were motion capture. So the shooting and such were all real people.
@@murphyrutledge5590 I meant the animation itself. The animation at times looked like Real people.
The problem with Rebels is that it was a kids show and that was all it intended to be, it wasn't supposed to have any depth.
Eh...I'd argue you could make a case for Thrawn too. Sure, he was a villain through and through, and was as ruthless as any other Imperial when the chips were down (albeit he was a pragmatist surrounded by sadists), but he represented THE model Imperial officer, the kind of leader that everybody in the Empire should have aspired to become. One could only imagine what the Empire would have ended up like if, somehow, Palpatine had died and he ended up in charge of it (or if Palpatine’s succesor had tasked Thrawn with developing a replacement for the Tarkin Doctrine after recognizing its flaws). Maybe the Galactic Civil War would never have happened - a rebellion of some sort would have still occurred, but it would've remained dispersed between isolated cells and never have grown into a large militarized force with a coherent, unified goal.
@@z3r0_35 indeed you are correct, Thrawn is a man of principle, but when the situation demands it, he gets the job done.
Thrawns only weakness was unpredictable occurrences such as the Force, which led to Ezra Bridger planning ahead by using the Hyperspace Whales which led to his defeat. Effectively taking out the Empires greatest strategist.
I've been saying for years there are real stories to be told with stormtroopers. How are they conscripted, what their training is like, friends and losses in battle. They looked like they were finally going to develop this with Finn and blew it. He could have created a fifth column in the Empire among troopers he knew. They could have captured and tried to recondition him and we could have seen that process. So much material for real stories. Keep up the work! As a fan at least someone seems to get it!
Allegiance is a very good book. Legends material bit it shows a squad who disagrees with the ISB and the higher ups on how to do operations and struck out on their own. Vader almost had them killed but due to them helping Mara, as she was the Hand at the time, she was able to get the spared. They did a lot of good too, broke up a pirate band that was wasn't trying to make the sector into a freehold
That story hits harder than the entire sequel trilogy
I want more stories like this in Star Wars. I find this impactful.
More Rebel vs Empire raids. They happened all over the galaxy. Hopefully in the Cassian Andor series we see some.
Hopefully we see some of the Delta and or Omega squad in the bad batch.
Absolutely!
It’s refreshing seeing enemies peacefully talking it out instead of blasting each other as usual
@@StarKeyStudios yes it is, I like that Liam was humanized as opposed to just being another stormtrooper who just follows orders without question and shooting rebel scum. It brings more life to the genre of star wars when someone does this cuz lately these poor guys have just been seen as canon fodder for the past 40 years
And that, children, was how you handle a Finn character. I definitely want a sequel from this thing. No, I want a full series
Same
This is what Finn should’ve been
Oh my gods will you fucking annoying pricks stop comparing the sequels to every fucking piece of Star Wars fan media you see you don’t even give a shit about all the work that these people put into it you just wanna whine
me too
shouldve been the mc of the force awakens brother
"Because I believe a sensible trooper like you can help us get closer to peace."
That one got me cryin'! This film changed my point of view towards the Empire and all it's innocent people. This film has to be watched by rebel fans! Thanks!
Most Stormtrooper shenanigans take place in the Outter Rim. Our real world equivalency is when the US bombs the fuck out of someone in the Middle East/Africa. The parallels aren't that far off tbh. A nuclear missile and the Death Star are essentially the same thing.
This looks like something straight out of a high-quality video game!
And it has much more moral ambiguity than anything Disney could create.
Very nice job!
This is everything starwars has been missing. The gritty real life stories of the boots on the ground. I dont wanna hear about some special chosen one who was meant to win or lose. I want uncertainty and depth of character. Mourning, sadness, exhilaration. These are some of the traits that will make an astounding starwars opera.
Most media isn't good at that. Take Gundam as an example. They keep bringing in newtype after newtype crap while their best rated and most watched show was still 8th MS Team, that had no newtypes and was on the ground for the one year war.
We already had the magical stuff in the original trilogy we don't need more we just want a good story
Wholeheartedly agree. This is through the eyes of a Stormtrooper, what was originally seen as a generic, faceless enemy. This is so human.
They've rehashed everything we've already seen. Get something like this on the big screen.
I assume you’ve never seen the Clone Wars television show? There are plenty of episodes that focus specifically on the clones.
It’s funny how some fans could create a 16 minute story on how a stormtrooper feels about being in empire than three movies and a six hour campaign game.
I think BF2 did a decent job of it as well
Edit: the original for all those who kept asking
@@mcgiver1327 lmao say sike rn
JD damn, I feel bad that you can't appreciate a good story
@@mcgiver1327 that's the thing, BF2 story is shit
@@mcgiver1327 I feel like the main lead defected to quickly and we didn’t get to see that much of the empires side as it turned generic. I felt the campaign would have been great if it didn’t turn generic
I love the fact that this story puts more depth, more humanization, more love to the stormtroopers as a whole. They’re i with families, friends, lovers even and I believe if Star Wars makes a story about stormtroopers, it’d be a loyal trooper like this guy who believes in what he’s doing is the right thing.
The fact we line in an age where you can just make a story using your favorite series is incredible
If there's ever a Star Wars: Galactic Civil Wars tv series then this is an example of what I would like to see. Showing a character story from two perspective point of views, specifically from an Imperial and Rebel soldiers.
This is an excellent film, bravo! 👏
Lol yeah rebels was just the before hand and skipped the actual war lol
Exactly, Stormtroopers have family, friends, and more. They’re not just worthless droids. Rebels get painted as good people and stormtrooper’s have their deaths pushed aside because they’re on the “bad” side.
Maybe they can do that with a Star Wars anime
yes, i be all for that
This is why I liked the campaign of Squadrons. It shows both sides and the main imperial character doesn't end up switching sides. By the end of the story, I found myself rooting for the Empire and felt more of a bond with the Imperials more than the Rebellion/New Republic.
Words cannot describe how much I LOVE this!
Felt like I was watching a pilot for a new Star Wars TV show, phenomenal work!
I would love to see a TV show or movie with stormtroopers or imperial personal as the main cast
Seriously loacher, this is some of your best story work. Keep it up and maybe we'll be seeing your sincere point of view on the big screen some day
@@slavaoperator if they were going to do that it would be amazing if they actually showed the stormtroopers hit their shots and succed in their missions. It would be great. They are the backbone of the empire they need to be somewhat strong
You should work for Lucas Arts
Terra stone I loved your order 66 project. It fit perfectly getting the music from Samuel Kim
The honor, the respect, when all of that is gone in war, small parts like this hits you in the heart. Not everything have to be killing, just understanding. That's rare, I wish it was more often like this.
It makes Star Wars so different from a stormtroopers point of view
The moment when that stormtrooper took off his helmet, was the best part. The stormtroopers aren’t clones, or processed, brainwashed, or whatever, they’re people, actual people who were drafted and trained to fight for what they were told was right.
@Alex I’m pretty sure that was the whole point of the clones. And the clone wars in general. Really the clone wars was nothing more than a diversion so the Jedi would be so focused in battle they would be easily destroyed. Clones were made for that one reason, fight side by side, kill the Jedi, then be disposed of.
Some were clones from the clone wars until they were killed or died of old age, but I really agree with your comment.
@@jakadajj honestly I’d rather be a stormtrooper than a clone trooper. And I definitely don’t want to be a Combine soldier.
I mean the stormtroopers were brainwashed through propaganda from a young age
They were mostly clones not Jango clones but they were clones of people who payed a lot to be cloned and their better troopers.
They will never tell any stories like this I swear. They need to realize that there is a market for Imperial-orientated stories, as well as stories that don't involve any Force shenanigan's. This is amazing, and I also love the Deggial Nox Stormtrooper Models, they are so HD.
they did sort of briefly in an episode of the Mandalorian with the rhydonium transports. but we could use some more.
@@Amarok410 Yeah I guess that counts, but a full fledged movie would be great.
What’s great is we are at least getting Acolyte. Which is a Sith based story
@@Havikolabee hell maybe a Series of a Death star Survivor if they do it Right
It would make the force shenanigans seem more interesting also, in contrast to the more "realistic" storytelling
This is what the sequals should have been. Not roses stupid logic or just random plot holes and hooks "Palpatine returned somehow"
This is golden standard writing and characters, you should be very proud
Yep. broke ass kids on youtube make better films then Billion dollar budget industry's.. sad.
@@FastDuDeJiunn Because they prefer virtue signaling points and money. This was for the Star Wars fans.
"you killed a planet with 2 billion people on it , mostly civilians”
"Oh yeah, well what about the death star! You blew up a couple hundred thousand people! Some of them had families!"
Real nuanced fine people on both sides argument goin on there....

Lol 🤣🤣 este mes
That isn't the point.
The point is that of those ON the Death Star, like those ON Alderaan, only a handful were involved in any of what happened. Tarkin gave an order, one dude relayed it, and a few powered up the cannon and aimed. What did janitor Steve down on Deck Forty Two and is wife, Sarah, or Tom and Brady, their sons, have to do with it? Nothing at all. Hell, what did the third shift gunner in the exact position Tarkin's shooter was later on do? Nothing.
They all died, though.
That is the point. Aside from the Emperor and his direct circle, most Imperials were just people doing their jobs, trying to do what they THOUGHT was right. Hell, the Empire was many's first taste of real peace after the Clone Wars.
It's easy for us to judge from the outside perspective, knowing the Clone Wars and the Civil War as near omnisciently as we do. But some twenty something from a world that was covered in war for most of his youth until the Empire ended it? He doesn't see that.
he sees a lack of blaster bolts, and an Imperial flag.

Could be completely for protocol. Like the squad has done this before and the conformation is purely for the mission debriefing. Much like the two storm troopers using the same excuse for target practice dozens of times.

@@firingallcylinders2949 yep
Imperial stormtrooper done right doesn’t defect to rebellion unlike inferno squad
To me at least bill burr character is only imperial doesn’t join rebellion and become mercenary
I'm glad my character can make such an impact in 4 and a half minutes!
This is brilliant. Hollywood and George would never have told this story, this is real cost of war, All the lives lost just for those in power. Thank God you told this story, I wish it was viewed by more people?
Pretty sure the cost of war been shown multiple times
More like they wouldnt show the perspective of each side
Showing only one good and one bad
The leader might be corrupt but in the end the troops on the ground fought for which they think is right
Good job! Humanizing a storm trooper, making him a flesh-n-blood human made this story a lot more interesting. Sharing their loss, both the trooper and the rebel were able to empathize for the other. Brilliant.
Liam and Gillian making a sensible agreement of friendship and peace even from both Pov in the war-
Me: Now this is *pog racing*
Closest thing the official movies ever got to this was Rogue one, with rebels killing each other to not get caught and whatnot. Less black/white, good/bad in Star Wars is always nice.

@@501ststormtrooper9 I suppose it's the Taoist version of a moral black and white. The light side was originally based off Taoism, I think, cuz the Taoists think that worldly attachment and passion will hold you back from enlightenment.
Anyway, I agree that the Jedi can be d*cks, but are there any examples of the sith being good guys? If not, then does that mean it IS "black and white" in that aspect?
Love the production value. The animation looks really clean and the voice acting is great. Wish Lucas Films would have more grounded stories like this. As much as I'm sure everyone loves the big good vs evil stories we get in the movies I think these kinds of stories are more interesting. Please keep up the great work.

I agree. Neither side is good or evil, in a way their are both, from a certain point of view.
@@alexander.tahtadjian No, the Empire is evil and the Rebellion is good. Just because there are good Imperials and bad Rebels doesn't change that. The leadership and what they ultimately stand for is what matters. How what they do affects the Galaxy as a whole. It's telling that almost every "good Imperial" story ends with them becoming a Rebel. That any movement within the Empire to become good is a failure. Because their side is evil and the Rebellion is good.
@@alexander.tahtadjian I mean. . . The Empire is literally led by a power-hungry and objectively evil Emperor. An Emperor who murdered his own family in cold blood (in Legends) and started a bloody galactic civil war just so he could become an Emperor. He executed all of the Jedi, *including* children.
The Empire is openly racist *and* 100% fascist (it was literally modeled after Nazi Germany lol). They used slave-labour, murdered billions of innocent civilians, used fear to keep their people in line. . . None of that is good.
What good did they do for the galaxy? Lowered piracy? Made more jobs? That definitely justifies all of the evil shit they did, right?
I mean sure, the Rebels did some bad things too. In comparison to the Empire though, the Rebellion is a shining paragon of morality. Just because many good people worked for the Empire doesn't mean it's suddenly absolved all of the crimes it committed against the people of the Galaxy.
@@alexander.tahtadjian Sadly the Script is already too biased to Rebel most of the time lol
@@cardiv5zuikaku944 And also there are Rebel kids who think the world is split between good guys and bad guys .......like the 2 pinheads above your comment lol
I've always wanted a story that focusses on Imperial protagonist that stay imperial protagonist, showing this exact attitude from the imperials.
Ye showing the pov other than another oh its so bad they even left
nuance is just so much mnore interesting. I hate that the rebels are always portrayed as the good guys and the imperials as evil
It's young people like you and your staff that makes the world seem less lost. PLEASE keep up the good work. Imagination and basic humanity can be positive..... if people will just open their eyes. Thanks so much for sharing.
This is the Best fan film I've seen in years! Hands down,the best story line and animation. Thank you for your hard work and excellent entertainment value. PLEASE keep this going
I can't believe how realistic this looked.
Love the fact that your diving deeper into the people of the empire. They’re not all just bucket heads. They have beliefs too, and the rebels aren’t all good either. This was a masterpiece of work and the story behind it was great too. The only thing that was a little awkward was the mouth movement but I’m sure your work is extremely difficult and in the end it still looked great! But all in all seriousness, I would give this work a 9/10, absolutely amazing! Keep up the great work!
How so? The Deathstar was a legitimate target to destroy. It's a super weapon, they had every right and reason to attack and destroy it. I think Liam focussed on the wrong arguments that someone in his position would argue however.
@@Sujad it was like a reverse alderan a lot of people died either way
@@Sujad I never said the Death Star wasn’t a legitimate target. But we’re not focusing on war generals here, we’re focusing on basic soldiers who have family and friends on those stations/planets. So of course the troops who had ties to people on the Death Star ware going to be angry, and people who had ties to people on Alderan are going to be angry. It’s the regular people’s opinions and what Liam is trying to show is that both sides of the war are regular people with their own beliefs. Not generals nit picking what’s a good target or not.
All fascists deserve is a bullet to the head. This holds true in Star War too.
@@Sujad Correct, It was technically a military target - however due to the amount of non-military personnel that was stationed there who had perished in addition to the combat personnel. Many of whom were civilian contractors. Liam would have came from somewhere that likely benefitted from or was less impacted by the Empire. Areas where the Republic had neglected or completely allowed to degrade while the war effort was focused on core systems and defending existing territory. As he mentioned as well, not every Imperial agreed with the methods of fighting the Rebellion (especially the decimation of entire planets) as it only drove more people to join the Alliance including some Imperials.
But also, many Imperial joined because they wanted to avoid a repeat of the conditions that lead to the Clone Wars but also the death of so many people who they believed deserved to leave equally in peace and saw the flaws of the Grand Republic including the corruption that made it so bad and allowed the conflict to escalate and expand across the systems. Some certainly joined because they just wanted money and didn't care about the ethics of any of it- that goes for both factions.
It's easier to deny the humanity of your enemy when you refuse to identify that they are human too, they are just different in ideological stand points or conditions that pushed them to join that faction - the armor makes troopers look like robots and no one sees them without helmets so it's far easier to kill them and never think twice about it.
4:51 That shot gives so much more life to the troopers.
All of them probably staring at the rubble that was their friends, knowing that hope is lost, and they're most likely about to die is spooky.
I don't think they'd end up that buddy-buddy by the end. But most of their interaction was amazing. Them talking about the Battle of Yavin, and their losses, and their reasons for what they do is great.
I hate how all the movies treat the imperials like a slapstick comedy joke. This right here, treats them like human beings. Its great
Yeah this was great indeed-
This presentation also shows what might be one of the reasons for why they in the future started the cloning and using more robots. Easier to control inhumane warfare when your soldiers don't think of morals
If only they went more into what the books had to say decades ago.
@@IpostedaCoDvideoonce the clone wars and the separatist rebellion happened before the fall of the the republic and the rise of the empire. What are you on about?
@@IpostedaCoDvideoonce I can’t tell if you’re talking about Star Wars, or humanity’s future. I’d honestly like a reply to this
Having stormtroopers be disposable and stupid worked for the original SW - the pace of that film is lightning fast, and the stormtroopers being faceless goons helped speed things along.
Still, I think it's time the series moved on from that.

”I’ve been looking forward to this”
”More! MORE!”
”What else you got? GIMME MORE!!”

”A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one”
”Good job”

Congrats, you just made an 16 min movie better then 5 movies and 3 series of Disney Star Wars. You dont how how much I enjoyed it :)
This is awesome that u showed both sides of the war and showing that storm troopers are human too something that the movies and tv shows fail to do. Unbelievably well written and animated.
Well isn’t this thought provoking. In all seriousness though, you are simply incredible Loacher Films. Keeping star wars alive in my heart so thank you
Loacher made the brainwash scene in his Order 66 short. It is a brilliant idea
People call them fan films, I call them works of art. It’s also so cool how it shows the humanity of stormtroopers and how they’re just citizens too
isn't that the same thing?
It's not about hating the guy on the other side because someone told you to. I mean, you should hate someone because they're an asshole, or a pervert, or snob, or they're lazy, or arrogant or an idiot or know-it-all. Those are reasons to dislike somebody. You don't hate a person because someone told you to. You have to learn to despise people on a personal level. Not because they're red, or because they're blue, but because you know them, and you see them every single day. And you can't stand them, because they're a complete and total fucking douchebag. - Leonard Church
As someone who has been a fan of this series since he saw A New Hope as a 7 year old child in 1977, I am truly impressed by these videos!! I can only imagine what you would do with the money that Disney has! Keep up the AMAZING work!
There are heroes/good people on each side of every war, following orders and doing what they believe is right for their people and their country. They don't always agree with decisions made by their leaders, but they stay loyal to their people. You can clearly see that these are two good men on opposite sides of the conflict. An amazing short story to drive this point home.
This shows that even in war, you can find a friend, in an enemy.
If he doesn’t pull the trigger first that is.
im sure theres a clone wars fortune cookie about that
In modern war, many times the people killing each other are people who either wanted to honorably serve their country or who were forced to. There are many documented stories where enemies met each other and realized they weren’t all the monsters that they made each other out to be.

Do stormtroopers have life debts too?
no not the sullustans!

This, This is how you do star wars, actually brought a tear to my eye. So much raw emotion and great story telling. feels like I was watching a series.
"May the Force be with you" - Gänsehaut Moment! Von diesem wunderbaren Film kann man, wenn man will, eine Menge lernen. Zum Beispiel, Gewalt erzeugt immer nur neue Gewalt, und Krieg bringt niemals Frieden.
This has been added to my head cannon, it's truly astounding what a fan can produce with a fraction of the budget of Disney.
Same!
Helps not having Kathleen Kennedy around, doesn't it?
AGREED!!!
That's cause Disney shits on everything they touch, remake, or re-hash. Thank the Chinese (Shanghai Shendi) for fucking-up Disney.
It's hardly a fraction, at most a single percent of Disney's Budget
This gave me clone wars vibes. The politics behind the story line is so close to what the clone wars did. Both side wanting peace but having the issue of those above them controlling what happens. I really enjoyed it.
I find politics storyline in clone wars gave more meanings to the wars they're fighting than just good vs bad generic trope they're using in original trilogy and disney sequel
Not a clone, clones were phased out and and general enlistment were the makeup of the stormtroopers.
@@growlusnotneeded3251 yea and what has that to with the comment?
@@oetschim Someone who only knows Disney SW
@@growlusnotneeded3251 huh? He never said anyone was a clone. U just didnt understand him
When the Death Star was destroyed, about half of the 501st Legion was still in the hangar getting to their ships, of those who made it out, another third were caught in the explosion, I'd fought with some of those men for over twenty years. - 501st Journal Entry
Bruh these small stories are WAY more impactful and filled with actually story quality compared to the whole last two trilogies. I absolutely love these short stories that actually add a sense of realism to the Star Wars universe!
The Rock should fire back and be a movie "The Rock Strikes Back"
I believe you are an imposter my man 🤣
Which rock? Kennedy or Alderaan?
@@lscstudios4637 No I just do there video
S in playlists 👌
@@vindictivegrind9370 Kennedy
@@itzcarz7907 aww nice man👌I will sub then🤣😎
I love the perspectives from this, the title fits so perfectly. The fact that there are just two sides, you choose one and the other is "my enemy" now without truly knowing the people under the helmets.
Or the headset in case of the rebels
the sad truth about war ... no sie is entirely without blame no matter how you justify it ... wrong is still wrong ...
It's nice to see both sides have their legit reasons for fighting. Not every Imperial agrees with what's going on but they want to serve their galaxy.
Dude this makes storm troopers have a good side like with friends and emotions Star Wars needs to do stuff like this
remember "emotions are not for sharing" - douche bag 9000 aka Pablo Hidalgo
I love seeing Stormtroopers as real people and not faceless drones. Great work Loacher.
The way they move looks really good, didn't notice the Stormtroopers where even animated for two or three minutes.
This was really awesome! Great job making it! With the advent of Fin, it put a face and personality to the stormtroopers that no one had really thought about. This short movie provides a brief interaction between a rebel soldier and an imperial stormtrooper. Both of them have different views on the way the conflict is defined. Very well written and produced. It would be great to see other chapters of the story. Keep them coming. 👍👍👍👌👌👌💯💯💯🖤🖤🖤
You’ve demonstrated not only a keen understanding of the storytelling process, but a fundamental grasp of what embodies Star Wars and how it’s stories are told. With these qualities combined, we get not just a Star Wars story, but a Loacher Films Star Wars story. Outstanding work!
No offence, but damn this comment sounds like an English teacher
I’m glad a movie like this was made. About a stormtrooper that thinks for himself and just wants what is best for everyone but that isn’t in the rebellion well done!
I agree. So sick of the Empire either being a joke or full of deserters. I like seeing Stormtroopers who are loyal to the cause and are good leaders
@@Kamikazi91127 What cause? Put the entire galaxy at his knees or die?
You're overtaking the limit of ridiculous...
@@solucaoatende Keep in mind the galaxy was in a state of chaos because of the Clone Wars and the Empire brought stability and safety where the Republic failed to do so. Albeit using oppressive means to do so. The Empire isn't necessarily good, but not all the people in it are bad.
@Wild Summit
I agree the whole defection ordeal that happens is tiring. There needs to more depth to the most iconic bad guys in cinema. They are dedicated to what they do and they need more recognition for it and not have them be so damn watered down to be faceless goons lacking individuality and be completely ineffective at being threatening. Having a variety of perspectives is nice, we need more of that. But of course Disney already has a plan set in stone.
@@ramblinnernd5905 But then you run into the problem of false equivalences. The Empire’s cause is just… wrong. Despite being run by the galaxy’s most powerful manipulator with full autocratic control, it just refuses to be a force for good. It’s like it’s actively fighting against it, while the Rebellion at least gives it a fighting chance.
The Empire *could* easily outdo the Republic in delivering a better galaxy for everyone, it just chooses not to. No wonder a bunch of former CIS systems joined the rebels, nothing has changed.
The 2 sides talking. That was amazing.
This. Was. Gorgeous. I've had it on my watch later for over a year now, and I'm so glad I kept it and waiting until such time as I could enjoy it properly. Really moving, thanks for this Loacher!
Man, I love stuff like this, showing that both the Rebellion and the Empire were more than just good and bad. I know Rogue One and Rebels showed more of the dark side of the Rebellion, showing that they had members who were willing to go to extremes to get the job done (assassinations, bombings, more terroristic actions) and even just some people who enjoyed conflict, but we so rarely get to see the Imperial side, the soldiers who don't entirely agree with certain orders, but still think that it is the best option for the galaxy after all then turmoil during the waning years of the Republic. There is a two sides to every story and we don't always listen to both sides, so I just got to say, well done.
Same for the seperatist
@@heuzame6198 oh definitely
It's not 'dark' to assassinate or bomb Imperials. That's what war is.
This, this is how they should make a Star Wars movie.
A stormtrooper who hits the target with his blaster, that's a first! Well done movie and nice dialogs. Great work!
Honestly this was well done. Amazing work. A bit of edge detection issues, but other than that I loved it. Please continue your work and maybe one day we'll see a full-length feature.
If Disney won’t let me sympathize with the Empire then at least the fans will. This is great work!
Made 16 mins feel like an hour of a long lost Star Wars film, damn.
A superior tale from a real writer and great actors that makes Kathleen Kennedy's work look positively Elementary.;)
I love seeing more of the empire, delving deep into what it's like to be an imperial soldier. I would enjoy seeing more of that. Stormtroopers, army troopers, and commando face the hardships of battles, dealing with the challenges and struggles from their point of view. Hell, a show of the reconquest of the rim after the clone wars would be absolutely amazing to see! Thank you so much for giving the community this beautiful project. Can't wait to see more
Holy crap this amazing. Giving the troopers of both sides actual character instead of canon fodder, extra bodies, and a way to give steaks gives you an insight to how people reacted to the war. Take notes Disney
Disney: *Messes up star wars*
Fans: "Fine, I'll do it myself"
In the end, we enjoyed the fan version rather than Disney's..
For the first time in a long time, I wholeheartedly agree with you Lorgar.
Disney Star Wars: “I am Inevitable”
SO AMAZING! Such a beautiful story with breathtaking visuals. This is living proof that star wars stories don't need pre existing characters or force users to be good. 10/10
actually cried what a piece of writing
As someone who spent most of his adult life in the Army as a Scout we generally don't hate our enemies.
This is defintiely nice to hear. Out of interest, what country did you serve?
Top comment, and the relationship between soldiers in general is well documented in both ww1 and ww2. Besides that we also have the soldier vs civilian connection in war. I probably have family on Island as my father had his leave there during ww2. Found a picture of a beautiful Icelandic woman in his album lol.
Then why kill them? The US is an invasive army in general. They do not protect, they only serve to keep the rich as rich as possible
@@holyX The army is there to protect people. The enemies are enemies because they have killed people and are dangerous
@@holyX Cause the typical solider does not get to decide.
I really like how this video shows both sides of the conflict and not just one. There were victims on both sides and not every Imperial was evil or horrible to others. There were good people on both sides that just wanted peace. this video did a truly wonderful job of showing that.💗
This really does play with the imagination, doesn't it?
I can almost picture it. One day far in the future, these two will be sitting in a cantina together. Wrinkled faces laughing as they find good company with each other. The bartender is giving them a refill on drinks before asking "You two have been coming here for almost fifty years. Got a story to share?"
After a somewhat surprised pause from Liam and Gilian, they look at one another with a grin.
Liam: "Well, it's a long story."
Yes, that's probably cringeworthy to read, but my point still stands. I just want to see more of these two even though the short is precisely as long as it needs to be. Amazing work. ^_^
When random people online can make better stories than Disney
Stormtrooper: removes helmet
Captain phasma coming out of nowhere: who gave you permission to remove that helmet? Report to my division at once.
Stormtrooper: how the hell did you come from TFA to here???
Entire fan base agreeing on hating in the sequels: WAIT were did you come from rebels! Imperials! OPEN FIRE!
Who are you and what is wrong with your uniform? Guards, we have a rebel spy!
I wish that could make it into a disney episode. More people need to see this. It‘s inspiring, thank you🙏🏽
Ps.: congratulations, you should be proud of that video!
Complex Star Wars Empire characters were introduced from the beginning with Grand Admiral Thrawn and Captain Pellaeon. They make for very fun antagonists.
