“We will watch your career with great interest”
Couple years later.
"You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Disney, not join them."
@@absboodoo perfect
True.
I second that
The interest, not disney
This is how most Imperial- Rebel encounters actualy ended.
Unfortunately far to little people understand that
The force was not with them.
Then why did they win the war?
@@MattMerica76 plot purposes buddy 😆 come on your smarter than that
@@sonoftheempire550 If this is usually how skirmishes ended, then the Plot couldn’t exist as there would be no adequate force to carry out the war. As the plot DID occur the way it did, it implies that the opposite is true.
It's very rare to see the Empire win against something since everyone has plot armor, I was really happy to see this.
Same but my heart aches to see clone wars vessels destroyed
@@SS-ij7gb i like to call that era well balanced between the two factions
@oblivion369dark4
Yeah, some Imperial forces still used Republic vehicles/starships, but rarely. More so in the Outer-Rim
I used to think something like this, but the more I learn about actual real history, the more I come to realize that the stories we tell are by those who are lucky enough to just barely survive. The number of “Real life plot armor” and “Then they decided they were the main character” instances in just WW2 is insane.
So, I think of it less as plot armor and more as “The lucky ones we hear stories about.”
me too
In the wise word of our glorious leader, Darth Vader: "Most impressive".
Our heroic disabled war veteran still valiantly serving the people of the Empire
@@PD-yd3fr the massive drain on Imperial health care fighting forever
“Glorious WHAT?” -Palpatine
Star Wars without the plot armor
And it's not even a mile long star destroyer against a fleet.
Just a cruiser VS 2 corvettes and a frigate.
When plot armor is taken away, it actually becomes clear that the Empire was far superior to the Rebel Alliance
@@davidty2006 More like 2 corvettes and an even bigger corvette.
@@ATShields935 The pelta is classed as a frigate back in the clone wars so it's really a frigate.
I dunno, that Pelta survived a lot of point blank turbolaser shots for supposedly lacking plot armor :P In Clone Wars and Rebels Peltas tended to not exactly be the toughest ships
Saw this on Eckhart's Ladder; quality workmanship
@Peter Caballero star wars is often full of kinda questionable battle tactics. Not to mention, this creator is still learning and improving, and as with all artists we shouldn't be too critical unless he asks for constuctive criticism first.
I'm sure there's a reason in-universe he can come up with for it too. Maybe sensor jamming or something :P
Hey me to there's a lot of people starting to come over here from X he also put it on the X2 Channel
Same
Same.

I love how you modeled the Star Destroyer after the original sketches. I haven’t seen that done before. It looks like one of those early 20th century battleships.
It’s made by a RUclipsr named ec Henry
Incursor-class by EC Henry: ruclips.net/video/pZLAtGu3-98/видео.html
This is a perfect example of the "Less is More" philosophy. There are three ships in the short film, and the remarkably small Star Destroyer is utterly terrifying and seems to be unstoppable and relentless. On a sidenote I was just about to check for Rebels footage to figure out how Peltas handled themselves in combat and this was a superior option. I do look forward to more of your work.
Four, actually. One of the blockade runner vessels gets disabled almost immediately.
So much talent hidden in the SW community. I can’t imagine what would happen if all these people worked together
_But if... we worked _*_together_*_ ... I know we could discover the secret._
Good job man!
Hi Ecks!
Thanks! Much appreciated!
Attaboy Ryan!
From the strem
Who else came because of Ecks vid. earlier today/yesterday?
0:16 I can't unhear "This is the friggin' Valiant!"
lmao true
🤣
I think they said “This is the frigate Valiant!” Good joke tho
This is one of the very few fan films I've seen that actually shows the Empire winning. A pleasant surprise.
Love how the tie bomber is so slow like it is in universe
Caleb Indeed, the TIE Bomber didn’t disappoint with it’s performance.
Came from eckstoo, and was NOT disappointed. This is some of the best Star Wars content I have seen in years!
same lol

2:49 God, I love how the original Incursor concept looks more like an actual warship here. Not just the quality of your work but just how the design looks like real life navy warship. The camera angle you chose there sells it so well, fantastic job.
Judging by the armament of this ship, I'd say it would be the Empire's equivalent of a Monitor. Not the biggest or most heavily armed warship but good for those small tasks where the larger ships are too much.
Love seeing A-wing. My favorite ship. All the fighters felt like they were taking a leisurely cruise rather than a heart pounding dog fight.
It's nice to see the empire remove the rebel scum!
Go build yourself a time machine and change George Lucas's mindset of the Galactic Empire.
I do get a little creeped out by the all the love for the space fascists in recent years.
@@HiGregLester You understand that this is pure fantasy? Are you creeped out by people playing orcs in warcraft?
@@Alexanderrr3r No, shit, really? Fantasy? Of course, the Orcs in Warcraft aren't based on literal fascist stormtroopers.
@@HiGregLester They are based on literal barbaric raiders. You know, burning cities etc. Their historical prototypes more distant in history than Germany and Britain from the the beginning of XX century, yeah.
This is the cleanest digital dogfight fan film I've witnessed!!! Big props to the modelers!!
Good job.. Really like how the Empire wins.. Always warms my heart to see that..
@Jeremy Brown For the Empire!
For the new republic
so... at te end how did it went ? ... eat blast imp XD

Your work represents, hands down, the most well-thought and faithful representation of what exists in the heads of many fans as the 'definitive look' of Star Wars space combat. You've managed to capture in computer graphics such an incredibly authentic look and feel of practical models and effects, from the texturing and lighting of the models to the incredibly satisfying explosion and smoke effects from destroyed fighters. And you've honed in on THE BEST portrayal of Star Wars shields I've seen to date; no flashy glow effects or shield flashes; just expertly rendered dissipation of the blaster bolts on impact; looking like a plume of vented plasma. It's a notoriously tricky thing to properly convey visually, and billion dollar companies have tried and failed to capture what you have here. I really hope the people in charge recognize that there is a vast pool of untapped talent right here on the internet for them to find.
Ehh, I dunno, the explosions were kind of cheap. Too much smoke, not enough debris, and they kind of hung in place where the fighters were destroyed, instead of retaining the momentum. This film was overall cool, but I felt the explosions stuck out like a sore thumb.
2:31 should’ve tried spinning you noob.
Yeah, that's a good trick.
Now that's podracing.
That woulda been totally wizard.
In pilot lingo they call that Barrel Roll.
DO A BARREL ROLL!
This one seems definitely better then your previous work. Tho I do think that there should be considerably more blaster fire coming from the capitals as it kinda feels like they are only firing one gun at a time (tjis may be due to render reasons i guess?) Plus for about 10 seconds at the 2:00 mark the starfighters disappear even though in the next scene they are fighting around the destroyer. Overall tho great animation!
I actually kinda liked the lack of laser fire, it reinforced that this was a smaller variant of star destroyer with only 2 major turbo laser batteries. Also, when the fighters destroy one you can hear the rate of fire go down and it feels like they actually did something substantial (which would not have been the case if there was a ton of turbolasers firing like on an ISD). Still I could see a few anti-fighter lasers being added to the mix and still having the same effect, as long as they were quieter and audibly distinct from the turbolasers.
@@zobblewobble1770 to be fair, the original trilogy looked much the same even in the major fleet battle in RotJ. prequel trilogy had the same feel in the big battle at the start of Revenge of the Sith. so the visual style is correct for the inspiration.
of course, the battles in the Clone Wars series and in Rogue One have a lot more volume of fire shown, so results will vary.
The ending was as good as rouge ones... blown away
@Zobblewobble The slow but steady rate of fire from the main guns feels more disciplined and more menacing in my opinion. I think there’s something about the implied deliberation.
"Gentlemen, I believe it's time we tested our escape pods."
I appreciate that this Incursor class cruiser seems to be set up as a villain of your short films. I imagine in the third part we'll see a rebel force striking out against this vessel!
This animation is incredible! It does however need more emotion and situational stress in the voice acting. Just feels like the people are safe in a studio, not in a desperate fire fight for their lives
I respectfully disagree. If you listen to Navy fighter pilots in a dogfight, they are as cool as clams in their chatter. They are trained to communicate without emotion to get the job done. Quite impressive to listen.
I think it’d be better without dialogue
@@sentino68 There's several combat recordings where pilots from all branches are stressed and it can be clearly heard in their voice.
Voices are a bit inconsistent I feel like they need more mixing, other then that pretty damn brilliant
Seemed to me com traffic should've been more cluttered, almost panicked, multiple voices in the heat of battle.
And the "space smoke" was distracting.
So overall I'll rate it four stars!
"Can anyone cover me?"
"NO! AND STOP ASKING!"
"CaN AnYOnE CoVEr Me?!"
"U LIGIT JUST WATCHED EVERYONE DIE"
I love the fact that the ships look like if they were real models. Awesome job.
That Star Destroyer is amazing - it looks like it was inspired by WW2 destroyers with their sensors and radars
Well it is modeled after the original concept art/model
SO COOL ANIMATION!!! I'm getting nerdgasm.
I have enough Flight Hours in X-Wing, TIE Fighter, and X-Wing Alliance to know this. All that A-Wing needed to do was drop shields down to 25% and increase speed by 50%. TIE Fighters cannot keep up with an A-Wing with all power to speed. A TIE Interceptor could though...
I think it might be an interesting tactic to sit in an escape craft in the launch bay of a wreckage of your starship and wait for the imperials to leave.
Wow! Fantastic job, everything looks fantastic! How long did this take to create?
Impressive work
@@GrandAdmiralThrawn.7th_Fleet Most impressive.
Get aired
This is amazing, but i think the turbolasers hiting the shields should have a better effect with more of an impact.
But still, this is freaking amazing.
Like the first scene. With white flashes would've been nice.
I never would’ve thought to see a rebel Pelta-class
This evoked more feelings from me than the entirety of the disney attempts at movies. Magnificent.
Lmao if you genuinely think this is better than the Disney films and series, you're delusional.
@@AlaskafishStudios Whatever. Disney is a failure. Their reboot canon is pure trash.
@@AlaskafishStudios agree with you, people really like to over exaggerate
The panic in their voice when they're all doomed, loved it ❤️
I love the look of this, it looks like you’ve ripped the star ships right out of the movies! Two things that I think would be cool additions to the fan film would be: A) when bombs or ion bolts hit shields the plasma morphs around the circumference of the shield barrier and the shield kind of glows like in the movies; B) when the star fighters get blown up we see debris still flying along with inertia of the ship instead of being covered by smoke. But your animation already looks exceptionally awesome and I can’t wait to see the next one.
Ah, a refreshing example of true imperial might. Excellent work.
we are so starved for good quality star ship / space battle tv shows or movies...I wish we could see more fan driven / independent shows focused on the space battles/space ships
I've loved the Incursor ever since EC streamlined it (before, really, but...), and seeing one in the last video was a delightful surprise.
Seeing the ship in action in *this* video? Perfection.
I especially loved the attention paid to anti-fighter weaponry and armor. The sweeping shot at 1:18 might be my favorite moment, but the whole thing was a treat to watch.
Sad ending... but also very very *AMAZING* visuals.
Those Rebel Scum got what they deserve.
@@codybyrum7572 Go build yourself a time machine and change George Lucas's mindset of the Galactic Empire.
Glory to the Empire!
love how the empire finally wins something. galaxy spanning military super power but lose consistantly to everybody. really nice job on the vid.
That last A-Wing being taken down was felt. Man these shorts have some serious feeling behind them. Awesome.
I’m calling it now, in a few years these guys are gonna be working for Disney to single handedly save Star Wars as we know it
Edit: also blow these guys up, get them the recognition they deserve!
Well, Dave Filoni is making an amazing job tbh
Creating movie models, special effects and ship and space battles has never been a problem fir disney/lucasfilm, however this is really good indeed
Don't make it happen, a great animations working for terrible writing.
Isaiah Highley no they won’t be. You have no clue how the industry works.
@Kuiper 2104 Actually I know exactly how the industry works, and small time animators like them kickstart their careers in things like this. Now obviously working on star wars movies is an opportunity they most likely won’t get, but my comment was meant to be supportive and encouraging to these talented few. Next time you wanna be a sarcastic douche bag, make sure you know what you’re talking about, because quite obviously you are the one who doesn’t know how the industry works if you think that these animators aren’t going anywhere in their career.
Absolutely delighted to see EC Henry's Incursor Class in action, excellent work! Although there are things that can be improved, already the quality is breathtaking! Keep on trucking!
What kind of wizardry is this?! It looks like a Star wars film, but unlike Disney it's actually good! ILM! Hire this man!!!!
Beautiful work, this makes me want to play the 90's Tie-Fighter game again! In that game, if you had Space Bombs at your disposal, you were unstoppable. Sometimes I would purposely fail a mission, then just keep on blowing up Star Destroyers until the Empire finally took me out.
The female pilot VA reminds me EXACTLY of Aeron Azzameen in the game X-wing: Alliance.
This is amazing, thanks!
The shot at 1:20 is my favourite, I’m striving to get this good myself
Amazing character development. The resolution between the two main character's interpersonal conflict really hit home for me.
This is spectacular!! The texturing of the ships looks so incredibly accurate to the og trilogy kit-bashed models.. its amazing. This is the Star Wars I miss 👏
Eckstoo sent me. I'm glad to have stopped by. I shall watch your career with great interest!
Really like this, though the smoke seems too much like it's in an atmosphere.. the way it billows and expands.. not like it's in vacuum so much. Please keep making these.
I don't think space IS a vacuum in Star Wars
Ya, eck Did a theory in that. on
The way the smoke reacts and blows around was my only small nitpick as well. It looks very realistic if it were in a sky but in space, or to be more consistent with other Star Wars it would be a bit different. Looks okay when it hits the big ships but when The Little Ships just disappear in a cloud of smoke that seems a little different. But what an excellent piece overall! So much better than a number of big budget movies I can mention!
Well to be fair, in “Dark Disciple” they quickly mention how “the oxygen from inside the ship feeds the fire in space....”
Star Wars' space isn't a vacuum. Sure, you could go to a Legends source like the X-Wing novels- but I prefer The Empire Strikes Back. In this movie, Han and Leia step out of the Falcon wearing oxygen masks- not spacesuits. Evidently, they were confident that there would be enough pressure out on an "airless" asteroid to keep their lungs from exploding.
So happy to see the Incusor Class animated! I loved the thing so much I introduced it to a dnd game I've been running lol.
Finally, the Empire that wins even if it's a small victory
And the animation is really good 👍👏
Nice job guys, great animation, and that Star Destroyer was the definite star of show, looked beautiful and very nicely lit, great work all round guys.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@SkyForgeFilms hard not to.
I LOVE the effect of the lasers dissipating as they impact on the shields. I always like shields being completely invisible because when you see them under fire they feel powerful but they also feel like they could break at any time and you're left in suspense wondering which laser will break through.
I remember watching Rogue One and seeing a pilot making a run on a star destroyer's shield bulb and his x wing's shields cause TIE fighter lasers to dissipate behind him. idk why I just really liked seeing that. I guess because it's actually cool to see shields actually have an effect.
Awesome animation!!!
Big agree! Disagree with Eckhart on that one, shields should stay invisible like always.
@@renaissancenovice7202 there are some beautiful visible shield effects in star wars for sure. I was a fan of the Raddus' shields in TLJ being visible because they were a highly advanced and different kind of shielding to what is commonly used (hence them being too tough for the enemy to break) and the overall effect was interesting - I think I remember the shield kinda denting and reforming as if it were taking a hugely powerful shot but recovering instantly. I really liked it.
I think they do work well in star wars video games too, to let the player know how the enemy craft is holding up-which is what Squadrons is doing, and I know Eck's played a bunch of that.
But for smaller ships and ships with normal shielding, and in more cinematic things, I agree that invisible is best.
@@LouseGrouse I absolutely hated the visible shields in TLJ. Yes Anakin's N1 had visible shields in TFM but that was on a personal scale and was more a sheath than a bubble. It was very pretty but definitely a divergence from what we had seen with capital ships so far. I really like the effects on the Ebon Hawk in KOTOR where you see a bit of localized field right at the blast point. Ehh. Then again, droidikas have persistent visual shields so it may just be a question the Star Wars community will need to rule on.
@@renaissancenovice7202 The fandom has already ruled on it: There are different types of shields.
I think that was the planetary shield bubble, since ISD shields are usually invisible.
The bomber showed up, literally had me saying "shit it's vader" before i realized what ship came out lol
I like how the acting was like people playing a video game. It keeps the violent nature of war on a Star Wars level.
Great work as always!
Watching for 5 seconds in me: disables adblock, likes and comments, and subbed! Great content and keep up the great work!
that was cool!! I remember seeing concept art for star destroyers and one of them had that same look... really awesome...
i love these short films. just brilliant how they expand the starwars universe. thankyou for sharing
As EckhartsLadder said: *chef's kiss* This is incredible work, and we'd love to see more!
Nice! Will you be doing longer videos in the future? Like story-telling?
The plan is to do some lore-type videos in the near future that will explore more of the setting and help provide some more context for the scenes.
SkyForge cool. Definitely gonna subscribe.
@@SkyForgeFilms Keep up the good work man. Love the vids, and i love the premise of the lore. I look forward to your work.
finally a episode of the empire winning for once :)
I would happily pay a subscription to watch this! This is the sort of animated Star Wars I could watch!
Came from EckhartsLadder, I will be sharing this with all my friends!!! Love your videos!
Absolutely amazing!
Pleasantly surprised. Usually is some outlandish story of just two rebel fighters destroying a Death Star. Well done. Thank you.
I like the use of smoke in the explosions. Empire - only bringing order to the galaxy full of free loving hippies.
Here’s a subscribe buddy this is very nice quality content. hope for the best in the future.
Amazing work, this is outstanding really! Came here after Eck advertised your channel, keep it up! 👍🏻
This had me ENGAGED watching, sense of danger! Very enjoyable.
after 20 seconds, better than the space battles in any disney saga film
This is incredible! Thank you SkyForge!
Out of curiosity - why couldn’t the Pelta just jump to hyperspace? Does the incursor have gravity wells?
The Pelta probably had it's hyperdrive disabled by ion cannons.
It also could have been damaged in battle or broken down due to lack of proper maintenance. It is possible since that's an older ship.
with power to the turbolasers, laser cannons, and shields it might not have had enough reserve power
Flying though hyperspace isn't like dusting crops, without precise calculations we'd fly right through a star or bounce to close to a supernova and that would end the trip real quick.
@@BarukNavy called creators plot
Love the classic/proto star destroyer design, glad to see it being put to use! Great short film too
Stunning graphics, looks film quality, and a great battle. Love this version of the Star Destroyer, looks really cool. Great work.
fantastic video i loved it and i love how you used 3 old clone wars ships in it aka the The Pelta-class cruiser and the 2 Consular-class cruiser
any way can not wait to see what you do next
All of this is just yes I love it
oh man I wanted to see more!!
This was awesome, keep the work up!
You are strong, and wise, and I am very proud of you! Thank you for the film, it is magnificent! ❤️ ❤️
Consulars? Post Endor? dang they are some hardy ships. (came from the current day Eck Stream)
I assumed the fighters were Spearheads starwars.fandom.com/wiki/R-22_Spearhead/Legends
That's a great one. At first it looked like the rebels were gonna pull off that Mary Sue plot armour crap again, but then the imperials turned it around and annihilated them. And it ends with the star destroyer standing tall, looking like a proud symbol of power and authority.
This is what I need so much
I hope more rouge one style movies come in the future with a focus on massive space battles
That was so incredibly good!!!
This is why you don’t mess with the Empire!!

See? THIS is what the Empire (karking imps) needs, not overly complex and a huge waste of resources, but craft like the TIE Defender and the Incursor class along with a host of other smaller vessels. It’s like the Nazis; huge mega projects like the Bismarck line of Super Battleships, the Maus and Ratte tank programs, the V3 wunderwaffe, the Gustav cannon, etc.
The animation and rendering is absolutely amazing, but the voice acting could use a little bit of work. Some of the lines don't sound as frantic as they would actually be, like the distress call at the beginning or the captain telling everyone to abandon ship
Very well done.
