I don't ask this often with fan films...but can we please get a sequel!? For once I can believe the accolades in the thumbnail of a fan film. This was so special and well done. I'll never understand why it's so hard for Disney to do this kinda thing. Even Disney's better sw films don't capture the feeling of star wars as well as the fans can. Bravo! Fantastic work to all involved in making this.

I 100% agree, a sequel would be fantastic. What you guys did with this film, in 20 minutes no less is rekindle the very beginnings of Star wars for me. This was so epically well done and very thought out.... The production was fantastic, the effects were just as good as lucasfilm.... This was so brilliantly done. I am a Star wars fan from day one, I was in the theater when Star wars first came out and I will die a Star wars fan. So I say, YES PLEASE to a sequel to this. And I will do my part to get your channel recognized to whoever I can. Thanks for making such a great short Star wars movie. You definitely have a new subscriber. Take care, ~Jonny5🥁

@@seekerofthemutablebalance5228 Not at all. The Force reacts powerfully to those in extreme grief and anger. In canon, a little girl named Rain used the Force to snap the necks of two Jedi knights after they had killed her innocent alien friend. That girl grew up to become Darth Zannah, the apprentice of Darth Bane who co-founded the Sith Rule of Two and the dark line of succession that led to Emperor Palpatine's Galactic Empire.

Rly? I only watched 3 minutes and saw 3 errors: 1. No one catches fire from a laser beam unless you are bathed in alcohol or gasoline. 2.- A sith does not need to ask anything, he can empty the mind of anyone who has a secret kept. 3. A Jedi does not need arrows to catch a fish, with the force she was able to get all the fish out of the river...even Grogu did it. (same mistake as Luke fishing on the island that was hidden) I couldn't see any more of these misconceptions about the Force.

​@jorgesaldivar8533 I agree with your first point about bursting into flames from laser fire. But we couldn't see what that person was working with in the woods. Maybe it was a flammable liquid like alcohol. He could've been making space moonshine! Your second point, though, isn't accurate. Sith constantly asked questions in ALL of the original films. Sith and Jedi alike could read feelings. But that mind reading crap didn't come along until Disney got involved. And third, a Jedi who was attempting to avoid detection would need to know other ways to provide for food for himself or herself. So I saw that scene as totally legitimate. Brightstar was trying to teach his daughter multiple skills. Not just how to be a Jedi. He wanted her to know how to survive! It's amazing to me that the makers of this fan film were able to capture all of that in a 30 minute film! You had some good thoughts though. It's important to think before you make something like this. Disney didn't do that and has jaded many a Star Wars fan as a result. This is a fan film and I'd say they did a great job on this. 👍🏼

I love how detailed everything was in this. When Brightstar got up with his lightsaber ignited, he dragged the tip along the leaves on the ground slightly and they smoldered. Detailing something as inadvertent as that shows a true passion for what you've made and I applaud you. The acting was a bit stiff and the dialogue a bit awkward but they always are in fan films but nowhere near as bad as some I've seen. Those skills develop over time and both the actors and storyline are far better than I expected. I cannot wait to see the next installment.

@@huntclanhunt9697 foam larp weapon club some twenty years ago at my local community college. I was around 24years old sparing with the fifty year old instructor. It was three on one light speed drill training, at different attack vectors I went in low with a thrust while he was dealing with the two others. The old man smiled and gave a light playful low front strait kick to my face by passing my thrust and I recoil into a back roll for sport. After the spar lasting about six to eight minutes when you get short of breath. The tip of my noise was scrap raw and so was my forehead from his shoes. We didn't know while sparing cause we were just having fun and giggling. A few .. drama queens .. at the college tried to make something over about excessive force and what not. So I .. politely .. explain excessive force and respecting your elders and training partners. In a real fight, my face plant the bottom of his foot knocking him off balance hard to the ground while the other two stab for the kill. As for me, high chance I would have a bloody and broken nose with a concussion from his foot hitting my forehead. Now as for having multiple concussions from my head hitting the concrete floor would have been interesting to examine. On the other hand, after he kick me in my face, he did this really F-King nice dance step and had the other two sparing partners walk right into each other with enough force to drop them on their backsides. Short few minutes laugh break. Honestly, I find it hard to maintain discipline order in old combat. The comic bump into slap stick knockdowns are rib hurting crying yourself into tears moments. I seen this women did this nice fancy dance sword move, and the other guy just walked into her up raised elbow to the face splitting his lip. Took like a minute to stop the light bleeding, and he did this whole foaming blood from the mouth bit stuttering. The sissy/teachers/office personal just went nuts power tripping they were going to shut the foam larp club down. The school football coach, military recruiter, and the Girls basketball and soccer coach told them to stuff it. The community college volley ball team had such few women wanting to sign up, they had guys join. The women on the other hand had no problem with Spiking the ball into the other guys' faces. Twenty years ago, we still knew how to play a bit rough.

Within it, there are some really great authors who expanded Star Wars into what it is now, beloved with a fanbase that knows you don't destroy this universe without paying for it. Disney found this out the hard way. They forgot the fans and authors of the universe is what makes Star Wars what it is today. Deny that and you get wrecked.

The thing I really like about this, is that when they are fighting, they are using all sorts of tricks to win the fight. in the regular starwars fights, they usually just use their light sabers, and just feel invincible against everything else for no good reason. This feels more grounded, because people are trying to sneak rocks to hit people and having people use lasers to distract their opponents. This type of dirty fighting feels a lot more real and fresh than the stale mainstream fights. The chaos of everything going on just adds to it.

One thing I noticed is that one of the Sith (I assume he is a Sith or Sith apprentice) has a green lightsaber, although I'm sure everyone saw that. But to me, this is a great example of visual storytelling; you see, when a Sith first creates (or obtains) a lightsaber the color will never be red at first due to it not being a natural lightsaber color. The Dark Side user must undergo a process known as "bleeding" the Kyber crystal, filling the semi-sentient crystals with the user's negative emotions, fueled by the Dark Side. This is where the red color comes from. Even Darth Vader did this with Jedi Master Kirak Infil'a's lightsaber after he had slain the Jedi. But what this shows even before the fighting has begun that the Sith who wields the green saber is inexperienced, seeing that he hasn't even bled his crystal yet. This is proven to be correct when at 11:15 at the beginning of the fight he is tossed around by Brightstar, eventually losing his saber and becoming the second one to die at 12:21, killed by a blaster bolt. All this to say this is an incredible FanFilm, and it's little touches like that that make a story feel real and lived in, which is one of the biggest appeals to Star Wars in general. Props to Archangel Epics who has earned my subscription. May the Force be with you, always.

Honestly this is how a modern Star Wars film should've been done, how too show the flaws of the ordinary people who've been in the order, broken the rules, created a family, how to create a family or bond between characters that you meet for a few minutes and you start to like them, you will understand this is further in the future because of how the remnants or Coruscant is a wasteland, explaining the father and masters sickness deriving from that place, where the Jedi Order used to be located. In the short amount of time the dialogue is great because it explains the few things we need to know on how good he have been as teacher to help her to survive but also on how to not succumb to the dark side, by accepting the natural order and flow of the force in all living things. To live in that daoist way that has always been what the Jedi teachings have been about. The Sith or what would be some kind of Sith / Dark side cult of the remnants of the shit whom have stopped following the rule of two which wouldnt be uncommon since the fall of the Sith well now after Rey Palpatine, but lets say for the jist of it since the fall of the emperor and Darth Vader. This short movie have more intellect, better dialogue, better story writing and far more interesting characters and plot line than any modern day triple A studio Star Wars film out there today, Disney could just learn that this is how you create a Star Wars movie, not with Disney princesses but with female leads that are great actors and that have a genuine care for their loved ones and understand that their training never ends, not even if they reach the rank of Jedi Master, thats the Jedi way. I applaud you for this, I enjoyed this fan film more than any other Star Wars film since maybe Rogue One. 5/5 Lightsabers.

Even our current fencing garb base on medieval padded gambeson armor base off of wool/linen would be upgraded to some form of Kevlar material instead. Then cover with motor dirt bike armor. 2.) Best darkside cult video I seen in the past 16years was from Italy. The grandsons from a few clothing suite shops were part of the fencing club, did Italian mafia saber fight in a parking garage in $1000 suites and the finishing touch after the fight they were greeted by a guy in red leather looking light G.J. Joes crimson guard from Cobra. Whole video film was barely 8minutes long, but had a bonus of 15minutes on how the suites were made and how the fight was put together. In all honesty, I felt it was their way of marketing their families clothing business. 3.) People forget form Prequel era novels and Dark Horse comics, Sith cults were nearly everywhere for the past few thousand years. And they were briefly cover in the Bane novels. The issue was the self-proclaim Lords/darths that brough war across the galaxy. The Sith recruit from Hutt space, and when those Sith marauders, assassins, raiders got tired of the Brotherhood of Darkness fallen Jedi from the core worlds nonsense politics, they just went back to their family bloodline smuggler pirate clans. In the Dath Maul novels, Maul had to be careful around high-class gambling locations because Jedi that washed out from Jedi temple training were hired to spot wild talent street trained force users hustling cards and dice. Then you just have families with their own force traditions that didn't send their children to the Jedi temples or schools. Who were tied up in con jobs, gambling, and political trade.

@ArchangelEpics I'm much more of cinephile than a comic con enthusiast. And don't have much in the way of a social media presence. Otherwise, I would be sharing this with everyone. But I will definitely comment on UKposts about this short, where I think people would be interested. Truly, there's much higher acting chops here than are usually found in fan films. And Sci fi/fantasy shorts in general, actually. I enjoyed your other film. But you've certainly leveled up in the years since. Soup to nuts. If people didn't have the extreme Star Wars fatigue as of late, I'd imagine this would have traveled much faster with word of mouth. Andor is the only thing keeping their ship afloat at the moment. If I were you... I'd use this to pitch a full series to Disney. They are in DESPERATE need of people who can write QUALITY content. And that young actor clearly has so much potential. I don't know how comfortable they'd be taking on the whole film crew. But the writing/directing package, along with the young leading lady, could really inspire their executives to greenlight a series about the old-OLD Republic. I could see you getting a serious budget to shoot a pilot for them. Where we could get a glimpse of the dark lord and his Sith Academy, pre-Rule of Two. Their Jedi counterparts. And the brand new Old Republic. All attempting to establish their dynasties in a contentious time. You could even start to swirl in some prophecy. And begin to tie in to some of the popular cannon. I can see it all happening! Honestly, I think there's so much more potential going that route. UKposts makes it so tough to build a large following with short films... when you wouldn't have substantial weekly content to show for your work. Sad but true. Anyway, that's my two cents. Get that big Studio money. And give the fans something Disney has been missing. If you can get them to bite, and want someone you can work with to build on a developing story like this... tell me and I'll drop everything to contribute to fleshing out a full season. I'd love to get into it. And I'm very easy to work with. Work like this is so inspiring. In any case, well done to all involved! Don't take no for an answer, wherever this takes you.

@@TetrisPhantom Fair enough. What I was saying wasn't a 'put-down' comment, it was more a 'I'm intrigued to see where this goes in relation to the Expanded Universe.' It's a great side story that could actually work as part of the main characters we already know. Eg (and bare with me as I'm just riffing an idea hear), Anikin done pod racing as a child and was 'discovered' by a Jedi and his apprentice. This family being on the run may suggest lots of different locations in a series, eventually leading them to be 'descoverd' by a Jedi also... Perhaps even an apprentice... perhaps she (the daughter ) turns out to be a new Jedi Master down the line or maybe gets tempted by the dark side - anger leads to pain, pain leads to suffering... Ya know the rest ;). Essentially, I'd really like to see this fleshed out - the back story for her father, and parents relationship etc...

Huh. I expected the acting to be cheesy and the plot nonsensical. I’m glad that I was wrong! It wasn’t ‘Top Tier A-Lister acting’, but for a small fan-film made on a shoestring budget you guys clearly found actors who have some pretty good potential should they be given the opportunity to improve their craft; a couple of them could possibly become A-Listers themselves one day. And her beaning the baddies with the rocks was just fantastic! They were so full of themselves that they didn’t consider that she could be a threat, and they paid for their stupidity. Very well done. It’s apparent that everyone on screen and behind the cameras were having fun and all really enjoy the world of Star Wars. Very well done! I’ll never understand why the Jedi went ‘celibate monk’ as it hurt them in the long run and eventually all but wiped them out. When they were first formed they absolutely were able to marry and raise children. It’s only natural for someone to desire love and perhaps a family of their own. Think about it - had Anakin been allowed to love and not hide it he wouldn’t have fell. A lot of people don’t understand the balance of the Force thing, but Anakin did bring balance - before Palpatine turned him there were hundreds of Jedi. After Anakin became Vader he did bring the Force into balance: there were two known Sith, Palpatine and Anakin, and two known Jedi, Yoda and Obi. Yeah, there were a few Jedi who survived Order 66, but in the original days of Star Wars it was just Yoda and Ben who survived. Over time the expanded universe added some Jedi who managed to escape and survive.

That was pretty cool! I really hope that wasn’t (let’s just say) part 4 of 8 because I think this is the first video I’ve ever seen of your/this channel!?! It’s definitely the first time I have ever seen those actors!!! And clearly they take pride in what they do and because of that you can see the talent…… well, in most of them! I really love seeing how other people see choreograph fights going either hand to hand or lightsabers or even with other weapons! To choreograph a fight with a weapon, any weapon you must first know and understand how that weapon works and is used. But also it’s capability and limitations. And if someone doesn’t know these things about that weapon you will be able to see it clearly in the scene. I also have a passion for that stuff and of course SW as well but unfortunately for me, I didn’t figure that out and how to harness and use it until it was behind too late in life. Oh well…. I did have some questions at the end…. But honestly a lot of them probably could have and probably were answered in the opening text scroll!?! No offense to your work but I was playing this more of a background while I painted so I didn’t read all of that. But once it started the characters had most of my attention and then right before the fight scene they had all my attention lol I will watch this again and I will read it that time when I have a chance! And if I still have those questions I’ll ask then!!! Either way it was very good and I’m going to check out some more of your stuff!

Hey that was a lot of fun! You kept the story and locations tight, it felt in-universe even though it was mostly shot in the woods on Earth, and I enjoyed the cast/acting. Fight choreography was well done... it didn't feel that the cast was being asked to do moves they could not do, they mostly felt like fights, not dances, so kudos there. Not a lot of fat in these engaging 20 minutes. That's not easy to do on any budget. Thanks for making this and please keep at it!

yep, strong male lead transitioning to daughter, her conflict, hesitation with the bow ( Deliverance . Jon Voight...) then her assertion of the killing move which must also have been masked in the force, a character arc . Also mum joined in with the blaster, echos of leia "someboy's got to save our skins..." although, cheesetastic though it may be I would have had the final line being, "Brightstar wasn't the weapon, it was you all along..." damn that's cheddar but ...

"...Protecting my family." *CRUNCH* That was hardcore. As stated, justified. But still hardcore. My initial thought was, "Oh, look, another SW fan film set in a forest." By the time this was over, I didn't want it to be over. Of all the fan films I've seen in the last 20-plus years, this is easily a Top 5 for me. Less than 20 minutes and the characters are already sufficiently developed and relatable that I wanted to see what happened to them. More than a certain sequel trilogy and a series or two I could mention ever made me feel.

Haha When we were shooting I was aware of the essential fan film elements meme! I knew we were gonna get crapped on for the forest setting! Lol But thank you for liking our Hardcore-ness! We worked hard on character development which I know is not what SW fans look generally in a fan film but I believe was worthwhile for this story. Please share this with SW influencers/UKpostsrs if you can! We can’t seem to break through to them. Thsnks again!

I have been a lifelong Star Wars fan. I am from the latter part of the baby boomer generation. I have to say I watched mini of fanm productions of Star Wars and this is by far one of the most interesting stories you’ve told in 20 minutes. You got to the core what Star Wars is all about. Love, balance, incense of family. The true fight between good and evil. The balance that lies between the two. When the father is talking to his daughter at the beginning of the show about necessary killing for food in his speech about not killing individuals unless it’s absolutely necessary represents the true humanity of us humans on earth. You captured that essence in this. I hope to see more of your work in the future.

This.... this feels familiar. Like an evolution, 15 years later, of a fan film I saw, that was 20 minutes, was a full narrative, and was filmed...in a way that would show up at a film festival. I am so excited!
