Geez, this was really good. I know this is four years old (July 2024 now), but generally speaking, it seems like fan films across the board have passed a tipping point into high quality cinematography! Also, the duels are getting really good as well. This particular film was very enjoyable to watch and I appreciate being able to get lost in the story. Thank you!
@@ronjon7942 thank you for the kind words! Glad people are still stumbling across our little fan film and enjoying it. It was a labor of love and we are grateful for all of the positive feedback!
I didn’t like the shipping containers that being said I understand budget issues and using resources you had at hand but saving a lil more for the movie to correct/ accurate landscapes would have increased the experience tenfold other than some of the landscapes I enjoyed it and the story and yea kit fisto vibes ....did a better job than I could have at all so yea just saying not hating lol just some advice I believe would boost overall quality and make it more enjoyable
The beginning is definitely my favorite part. I don't think I have ever seen a better representation of what jedi are supposed to be. I'm sure I'm in for an emotional ride, but I can say with the utmost confidence that your friend would have been so proud of what you did
Thank you Alex. Andrew was a special person, the biggest Star Wars fan I’d ever met. Even though we didn’t have a chance to make this film together, I hope he was able to watch it, wherever he is...
Film Rating 7.6 This fan film is quite good. I like how you used many different places for filming. This film had a great story. But there is few things that you can make better. Quality wasn't perfect. And You can use different angles when filming. But Overall this film was good. Good film comparing to budget
Comments: I like this, especially the beginning. Me: Your a consular dude. Of course your connection to the Force is stronger than the Guardian's. Anyway, I like this.
Really depends on the Jedi and their views. He could’ve felt he let his emotions dictate a fight, and get the better of him. Where he felt not replacing it to leave a reminder for him to not let emotions guide his path or his battles.
Incredibly well done, good story and good effects. You should be proud of this movie. I truly enjoyed watching it as it was one of the better fan films I've watched.
Jake, thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. We learned a lot from the experience and will endeavor to make the next one even better!
Thank you Chandler! We just took a photo of the finished lightsaber and cropped it into a dozen small photos and individually animated each one. The crystal was also a photo of the same crystal Dai uses throughout the film. A 3D saber would have been ideal, but we didn’t have an advanced animator for the project. As for suggestions, I’d say do your best to find locations that are exotic or outlandish, places you rarely see. It’s a difficult task, but I think it’s one of the main complaints I see from SW fans. As for the dialogue, keep it short and sweet if you can, ours is even too long winded at times, we just had too much story to chew through. People love seeing action, so do your best to practice the choreography. And lastly, just have fun, remember, it’s your fan film, make it however you want!
The scenes could have been a bit more streamlined and more fluid and the battle scenes would be a bit better if the choreography was smoother or to compensate repeat the scenes and cut a few more times for a feel of faster movement. With that said though I like the overall story. I especially like the ending. It’s pretty much how I would have made it. Well done over all.
You are correct! That is the Abram’s Bad Robot. We designed and built it entirely from scratch and then 3D printed the model. It was so large it took almost two weeks to print all of the pieces!
I’m confused, the padawan was sent on a trial by his master to retrieve a Sith holocron and I thought he did, until he got back with his master and said that he was sorry he failed him. But then the master pulls out the fucking holocron?? Then I’m confused is the girl actually sith? Or is that a vision that the padawan had?? Please explain someone
Drew all good questions! The holocron was essentially destroyed/deactivated by Dai, so he felt like he failed his master. Master Atton tries to sense whatever is left of the holocron. Ora Sye acquires something from the dark entity, and perhaps it influences her dark side...
How does ome go about finding the characters’ names of this (and others) fan film? I was hoping they’d generally be in the description, but that doesn’t seem to happen often.
@@mac1701e yes good catch! The x-wing would not have existed in the Old Republic, but our VFX budget was tapped out at that point and I couldn’t find anyone to voluntarily create a 3D model for us. I would love to work on a part 2, I have a story outline I’m quite happy with!
Sequel? I want to see what happens with Aurora(?) now that she is posessed(?) by the sith spirit of Dai's brother. Frankly, I want to see her go on a one-woman war with the Jedi and show what RotS did not. The fallen Jedi killing everyone in the temple. Maybe she could even seduce Dai to the dark side? Or better yet. They convince each other to abandon the extreme sides of the force and unite in the grey area.
Great stuff, really goes to show you dont need a billion dollars to tell a decent story with decent acting. My only gripe with this is the lightsaber choreography but the story is good enough to feel invested in it, even if it's only close to thirty minutes long.
This was great, guys! Well done! Here's another one that came out recently. A lot shorter but another great fan film: ruclips.net/video/bW8dpB_2MgM/видео.html
Ehh not bad. I can’t get past the fight choreography. Seen children sword fight with more conviction. Also you give the most iconic light saber to some girl that can’t follow rules nor is even a Jedi. Amethyst was extremely rare! Technically it wasn’t even invented until Sam Jackson asked Lucas for a purple saber. Also the voice change for the brother was just bad. Once you revealed him his voice should’ve changed to normal. I appreciate the effort so I liked the vid but I think you can do much better.
Thanks for the comments! The choreography is intentionally slower and more methodical. We were aiming for more than just flash. The amethyst lightsaber may be rare but it actually did exist in the Old Republic. A very famous Jedi named Revan actually wielded it. The purple is integral to her storyline because it is a color for users who border the closely to the dark side.
Where are the Melanated Celibate Male Jedi Masters With Non- Melanated Non-Celibate Male Padawan that have objectively attractive Melanated girlfriends? Where oh where? (And...Common FF theme, ethinic Euro girls as the 'Dark' side. Very sexist and racist.) Answer; No where
@@fasteddie4107 it’s funny because we were supposed to remove all of the text from the containers and put the Star Wars type all over them. After 6 months of VFX work that just wasn’t in the cards for the two of us because we’d burned out on rotoscoping the sabers!
Good to see Ikea are still going in a galaxy faf far away- and the containers from Earth got there ok- HGV space runs in 20 parsecs or your money back!!
What works about this film, is that it's a simple story, and the writers &/or producers don't bite off more than the audience can chew, or try to create some grandiose epic, in the ~30 min time allotment.
Financial records are for those with the right reply. There is always something not to write around here. I could not do bookkeeping and do it and that's the other reason. That is a bookkeeper. Relating to Star Wars was easy before. Where is God?
Good, great Fx's. My only peve was the X-Wing's S-Foils in stack formation when jumping to lightspeed.. but great short!! Keep em going!!!!! OG-3 forever.
I love how it appears like they are on a campus setting for a Jedi Academy.

This is great only problem I really have is the main character wouldn’t stop smiling in serious moments :/
I liked that. Kit Fisto vibe
Kit Fisto vibe
KIt Fisto would be proud and smiling.

The arrogance of the Jedi Order is the peeve of all aspiring young Sith.
Great film, I was happy it wasn't in the woods like 95 percent of the other fan films.
The beginning is definitely my favorite part. I don't think I have ever seen a better representation of what jedi are supposed to be. I'm sure I'm in for an emotional ride, but I can say with the utmost confidence that your friend would have been so proud of what you did
A really nice tribute to your friend. Much respect

@@RedJacketFilms Thank you for the reply! :) I know I’m a year late, but I’m definitely sure he’d be proud!
We need this director working for Disney
No way, Disney would chew'em up and spit'em out! They have creative freedom and story accuracy this way.
They just need producers and sales pr.
LOL
Acidic Dopamine another fan film better than Disney
No we don't we need him working on his own stuff Disney doesn't deserve anymore of our money
Very cool
Ifunny brought me here and I am not disappointed. Awesome job!
Very VERY good! The locations could've been better but hey, fan-films CAN NOT be perfect💜
I love this. This is one of the best Fan films I have seen. Great work!
Very nicely done! Beautiful locations!
Well done... A worthy addition to the jedi archives!
Very impressive, most impressive. Fantastic work
Well done.. by actors, producers and all involved!! Very proud to say I know all of you! Did not disappoint!!

Loved the naughty robot!.
I don't understand the dislike, it was really great ;)
Andrew Protsko would be so proud of you!
Mic Thank you so much for the kind words and support! I like to think so too! 🙂
Impressive
Very nicely done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I hate to disagree with you because you might be cute but I must disagree my lady
Hate to disagree because you might be cute but I must
Comments: I like this, especially the beginning.
Me: Your a consular dude. Of course your connection to the Force is stronger than the Guardian's.
Anyway, I like this.
A one armed Jedi? Why couldn't we see some of this in SW? Don't tell me they always had robotics available.
Some Jedi viewed cybernetics as sacrilege
in the Legacy comics Wolf Zazen had one arm.
Really depends on the Jedi and their views. He could’ve felt he let his emotions dictate a fight, and get the better of him. Where he felt not replacing it to leave a reminder for him to not let emotions guide his path or his battles.
Yeah I agree. A jedi should choose whether to have robotic limbs or not. Also, I think a blind jedi would also be powerful legit.
They have spaceships, so yes, always.
Awesome work!!! I can't wait to see more films from you!
There better be a sequel
Great 👍 movie
Great plot and story line with this movie pilot I'm interested if your going to do more to this cliffhanger to flush the characters out.
Whoa!!! Major plot twist.....wasn't expecting that at all. Nice work!!🔥🔥
Incredibly well done, good story and good effects. You should be proud of this movie. I truly enjoyed watching it as it was one of the better fan films I've watched.
Jake, thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. We learned a lot from the experience and will endeavor to make the next one even better!
I like how you did this. The ending certainly seems to set things up for a sequel, wonder if that'd ever happen. Either way y'all still did good.
so much better than the actual movie
Sweet! Great fanfilm
This is fantastic, extremely well done, keep it up guys!
P.S. loved the Old Republic music in the credits😊
I need a part 2 asap
Hey isn't that that JJ'S "Bad Robot"? That is used as the mascot for his Bad Robot film production company?
Please let me know if I'm correct......
Jay Moore you are correct! Nice catch! We did create ZeDe4 as a loving tribute to J.J.’s Bad Robot.
Great Soundunderdrawing! :O)
omg this was posted on my b-day :)
why has this only 720 views...
Think the best about this was the use of the SWTOR soundtrack.
Well done!!
Woah, plot twist, didnt see that coming at the end lol
Awesome.. and another example of what Disney COULD achieve. Here before 200 views?? Sweet
What did this fanfilm Disney didnt?
This video is amazing!
Dang the scripting is awesome brah Keep it up!!! But....The voices
This was such a great Film! Will there be a sequal I think it would be really cool!
This is so cool! How did you get the lightsaber building animation like that? Also, my friends and I are doing a fan film, any suggestions?

Good little fan film. Is this the bald Jedi order haha.
ok i laughed my ass off when you had JJ Abrambs Bad Robot logo as a droid or correct me if i'm wrong
You are correct! That is the Abram’s Bad Robot. We designed and built it entirely from scratch and then 3D printed the model. It was so large it took almost two weeks to print all of the pieces!
Bad Robot!
Seriously, JJ Abrams' company's logo?

Good job 👍
Ho! Cliffhanger! But seriously, well done.
AWESOME!!!
Sequel???
Really wanna see more fan made flicks like this, if anyone knows any good ones you could comment me them please and thank you
How does ome go about finding the characters’ names of this (and others) fan film? I was hoping they’d generally be in the description, but that doesn’t seem to happen often.
very good (but I am a little confused)
Um... Did they film that one scene in a shipping container full of drugs? Lmao great flick tho keep up the good work
Two things, how old is the X-wing? I didn't think there were any that far back in Star Wars history, and is there a part 2?
@@mac1701e yes good catch! The x-wing would not have existed in the Old Republic, but our VFX budget was tapped out at that point and I couldn’t find anyone to voluntarily create a 3D model for us. I would love to work on a part 2, I have a story outline I’m quite happy with!
@RedJacketFilms definitely give us a part 2
Maybe if Lucas would've hired some new blood to write a dope ass star wars movie then Disney wouldn't have fucked up the franchise just my thought.
They don't have regular doors in space
:)
Why does a Jedi have a x wing
Budget

Jedi?
Love the cargo containers so original.
Try star words it let's you make realistic looking star wars openings
Pretty good up until you showed the storage units. Should green screen in something else.
Great stuff, really goes to show you dont need a billion dollars to tell a decent story with decent acting. My only gripe with this is the lightsaber choreography but the story is good enough to feel invested in it, even if it's only close to thirty minutes long.
Freight rail storage units.REALLY?
This was great, guys! Well done! Here's another one that came out recently. A lot shorter but another great fan film:
ruclips.net/video/bW8dpB_2MgM/видео.html
Not bad. Just needs less smiling in serious moments
I really like it but I wish when they fought they would have stricken faster it was a bit slow for me
Even in dark scenes highlighting the main figures are still required. That’s why the viewership is so low.
Can't sneak around in the dark with a glowing stick
So he basically said leave me here with my space drugs.
Xwing on old republic times
Pretty good just some of the locations used were too earth like
🤣
666th like...
woooow when he assembled that ydd saber.. so epic..
and all the Jedi are human..
and wtf..
why did I dislike..
Because

This film looks like it was made at a New Jersey train station horrible
I’m from New Jersey Tom, but this was shot in Myrtle Beach, SC! Hey, they still have junkyards and shipping containers in space right?!
terrible acting and stunt work !
Where are the Melanated Celibate Male Jedi Masters With Non- Melanated Non-Celibate Male Padawan that have objectively attractive Melanated girlfriends?
Where oh where?
(And...Common FF theme,
ethinic Euro girls as the 'Dark' side.
Very sexist and racist.)
Answer;
No where
incredibly boring!
I love knowing that hundreds of years from now we will still be using metal racking and shipping containers. Timeless.
You do realize that SW takes place in the past right?
Does it?

Wait... was that an x-wing? Those didn’t come into production until the time of the Empire
at the end the girl totally had a mara jade look going on with the red hair and purple blade.
I'm 9 min in and this is already better then the last 3 films
This was amazing!
bad robot
