Let's just wait a few months and see what midjourney can do with live-action. I'm so hopeful of all the possibilities... Imagine a few years down the line: WHAT IF... Spielberg directed one of the Episodes? Coppola? De Palma? Lucas again? Brad Bird? Chris McQuarrie? ...What if Michael Arndt's original THE FORCE AWAKENS script got made?
I'm sorry but this is totally inferior to the previous one. Ben turning to the dark side is way to goofy & he basically did the exact same thing they did to Finn in the real movies. Finn is being majorly sidelined & essentially cucked by a Poe & Rey romance. Finn & Rey bonding over their training & him trying to convince her that Luke & Jedi have her best interest is a far better lead into a relationship. Plus this whole I'm here to save you speech from the Emperor is just plain stupid. The galaxy celebrated the death of the Emperor. So I don't see a plausible scenario where they'd celebrate his return.
The way Rey is written in this is brilliant, and her becoming the main character we all root for feels deserved. Also actually getting to see Ben's turn to the dark side and his fathers death and him being willing to do anything to bring him back is so much more interesting, and it's very George Lucas - it rhymes, it's history repeating itself, in the same way Anakin's love for Padme and fear of losing her caused him to fall, Ben's love for his father and desperation to bring him back causes him to follow the same path. Genius. Plus Luke actually having screen time and being the grandmaster we wanted to see while still having flaws, such as not paying attention to his nephews turmoil while putting most of his time into befriending the woman who killed his father, is really awesome. Oh, and a post credits scene implying Lando is going to play an important part moving forwards? Fuck yes. Can't wait for the FINale.
EXACTLY... written that way, the new character DESERVE our love and we root for them... Disney was so eager to ditch the old ones and pushed 'New heroes', it felt wrong on so many levels...
@@kyrrozz Something Disney are frequently guilty of doing is tearing down long beloved characters and making them look weak to lift up new characters. It's lazy writing, and it only adds to the disdain fans have for characters like Rey on top of the already obvious lack of thought they put into who she was and why she's able to become so powerful so quickly. They also completely missed the mark with Fin - they started out really well; him being a stormtrooper that grows a conscience and realises that what he's being ordered to do is wrong, then rebelling rather than falling in line, was the most interesting plot point of the ST for me. I was excited to see how he would develop as a character... then was sorely disappointed when he was demoted to a goofy, comic relief side character, and I felt really sorry for John Boyega because he's a great actor and could have given us a great performance had he been given the right material.
@@unLUCKY95 Agreed, They portrayed han and luke as old grumpy shmuck who failed their lives and goals after their short time of glory to try and make Rey the new obvious protagonist. How do you not see how wrong that is ? Finn is a big miss opportunity. He just do an 180 and never look back. No interior conflict, no flashback of his abduction/training by the New Order. He just went : ''I am good guy now. Here are some convenient knowledge about the new death star''. The major grip of it all is the fact they didnt had a story planned ahead for whole trilogy. They let 2 directors pulling in opposite direction. JJ.A desperatley wanting to 'remake' the old ones and Jonhson wanting to create an entire new franchise, spitting on all base concept. They are both at fault and Kennedy is the worst to let this mess happen. How did they not have a single story layout for the trilogy for a franchise this big is beyond stupid. What a waste !
What I also love about this version is that it has a very ESB-y cliffhanger. Will Luke survive his wounds and what will happen to Lando. What a great way to let the fans guessing until e9 comes out. Disney's version was "how do we undo the damage that's been done".
There was something similar happening in SW Battlefront 2's (the new one) campaign, where Luke interacts with the imperial agent. It's a type of dialogism very typical for his character, so I'm happy it was captured in this story as well.
I wasn't happy to see a Grand Master Jedi picked up into the air and Force crushed like he was nothing but a canon fodder character. An overpowered Kylo is about as much fun as a Mary Sue Rey.
@@DiagonalByte Make the case! I’m interested in hearing what you dislike about it. I love this series, and there are reasons I love this series, there is structure to that attraction for me. You see it very differently. So I would like to know what you see, when you look at this series.
One of the largest complaints was finns treatment, hes still sidelined and likes rey but doesnt get her... this guy would still leave him out of the posters
I had to hold back tears for that whole scene. I want these to become actual movies and replace Disney‘s sequels, this is beautiful, what Star Wars should be.
I still wouldn’t bring Palpatine back, but you really made it work. It’s amazing how you crafted a story with all the same characters that is somehow 100x better than the actual movies.
That's what I thought too. Of all bad ideas Disney had, bringing back Palpatine was definitely the worst. But at least in PRISMs versions it's kinda cool.
@@MassimoCerreto Yeah, my favorite part is how he actually explains how it happened, rather than saying "Somehow...Palpatine returned". You might as well replace a New Hope with "Somehow, the Death Star was destroyed".
"A reaction is just your nature revealing itselft before your mind has time to get in the way." Now this is the type of dialogue on par with "Do or do not, there is no try" and the truths for a certain point of view. Love it!
After watching both of these episodes remakes my passion for Star Wars has been reignited. This is what Star Wars was meant/is supposed to be. You have done such an amazing job with these remakes. Thank you.
Ben Solo was a great character that was ruined by Disney but this version was he was supposed to be . The Knights of Ren & his transformation to Kylo is genius.
This is such an incredible transition from the stories of the original characters to the stories of the new ones, with reasons to actually care about them and them actually caring about the situation. This kind of storytelling has not been seen in any of the Star Wars films and damn, is it incredible.
This Rey has so much character depth and development. Look inti her face and eyes, fascinating. An AI version can do more than Daisy Ridley managed to do on screen. (Of course she was only a poodel of the Disney people)
Given Luke’s original story being all about the redemption of his father. Having his master story be that of a slow redemption of a Sith padawan is so fitting, and also makes the Rey/Kylo switcheroo fitting, which in itself is a unique trajectory for a SW trilogy. It also allows us to see explore the whole “what would the republic do with Vader if he lived” question with Rey as the final chapter, a different exploration of redemption and forgiveness.
@@prismstories Just making rey again the emperors granddaughter was unneeded. It felt so poorly in the 2019 badfic movie that is overshadows much. She could be a neutral person soemhow connectedto him but not in blood. You could still make it up in the next movie. Apart from it you did great.
@@danielschoch4881 He seems to be trying to rework the core ideas of the Disney trilogy into good things. I might not care for her being a Palpatine much either, but I love how he's displaying that none of the ideas in isolation were bad per say, just that their execution was flawed.
OMG Disney is so GARBAGE!!! This is the Star Wars that should have been. This needs to go viral and get the attention of a sympathizer of George Lucas vision of Star Wars at Lucasfillm!
Maybe could’ve time travel back to 2012 to give this movie idea to JJ Abrams or something who would take this idea without being politicized by someone.
This trilogy will replace the Disney trilogy as canon in my head. A much more compelling story with far more character development than Disney managed. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next one
Seriously impressive. This is an amazing audioscape even if you hadn't created this incredible story. It takes you back to ESB with its melancholy ending. Ray's character is exactly what Disney wanted... nuanced, powerful, lovable, mysterious, but she earns those things slowly over the course of two movies. Thank you so much for doing this. It's really so much better than what we got with the sequel trilogy.
Ugh! Josh you seriously warm my heart with your words. One of my biggest goals with this project is give Rey dimension. I have no issues with Daisy Ridley or the idea of a female lead. But I want her achievements and failures to feel earned and compelling. I hope we’ve accomplished that with this offering.
@@prismstorieswell you made that happen with your story arc of Rey. In your TFA rewrite I found myself impressed with a Sith Rey, by the end of this I felt the impact of her self awareness and turn to the light, her confusion and vulnerability as she grappled with her past and the conflict inside her, then her guilt and finally her acceptance (Jedi way) of who she was and who she is now. As the ones she hurt begin to accept her, I found myself accepting and then rooting for her. Job well done sir!
I'm impressed how well you hit many of the same beats as the sequel trilogy, but actually earned and explained things in a way that didn't feel cheap. These versions of Rey, Ben, Finn, and Poe feel so much more rounded as characters and at home within the lore of Star Wars. AND you payed respect to the OT characters instead of fundamentally changing them for the worse. Great work!
Exactly … it makes me like all those sequel trilogy characters that I hate it but this with Mara, Jade as his wife and him allowing Jedi like in the extended universe to Marie I kind of wanted to see Mara Jaden and Luke. Happy with a wife.
I am legit crying at the emotions you are bringing up in this summery of a movie. You are moved me a thousand times more than Disney's Star Wars ever has
Wow! Intricately and meticulously layered and nuanced, this is exceptionally compelling storytelling --- both VII & VIII! Can't wait for the story's culmination in IX! I cannot even begin to imagine how magnificent this might have looked on the big screen!
gorgeously. the battle for Canto Bight, the Kylo Ren hand to hand combat, Luke and his nephew turning on each other, Rey's redemption. all could have been exceptionally riveting moments.
Gotta admit, not sure I feel about having the emperor back. But his influence and build up is honestly still felt throughout this series and I can't help but to be on board with it. So many developments happening and every moment feeling earned. Well done.
@@prismstoriesyou actually capture your audience. They stand in awe and wonder what happens next. This is true masterwork storytelling. It's only too bad Hollywood prefers propaganda to good writing. You would have people lined up to go to the theaters again.
I LOVE this dynamic of Master Luke and Padawan Rey. Feels a bit Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in TPM, but also something of its own. Then the way it set up the next generation of jedi is so much more earned.
I usually don't have the patience to sit through AI voiceovers, but DAMN these two episodes so far are so well put together. The ai generated art really helps the imagination, and the story itself has been consistently ramping up to where we are now. Excited for part 3!
It’s absolutely insane how well these 2 stories have been so far, it’s exciting and I can reimagine how this could have all played out this way, truly amazing work. It genuinely saddens me that Disney didn’t go this route.
Wow @Kalebkennedy thank you for the support and love! We definitely wanted to incorporate the new characters with the old without undermining what came before. It was so clear to me how this third trilogy ought to be handled but I am just one voice among millions but I am glad technology is catching up to the point where a little nobody like me can actually put something out that fans can respond to.
I'm genuinely being sincere here when I say, I'm nearly in tears from this. One because it's just so damn good! The writing, the pacing, the dialogue, the settings, the tones and themes, are all 100% bang on. Two because we desperately need this to be real! I am now fully invested and looking forward to the final act. THIS IS WHAT STAR WARS IS SUPPOSED TO BE!!!!! I've never wished for much because it usually ends in disappointment, but seeing these as full length feature films on the big screen would bring many of us closure in ways that Disney never could. I'm extremely grateful for your contributions. Thank you.🔥🔥🔥🔥❤🤩
Wow! Thanks again BG. I wouldn't rule out feature length fan fiction as the technology and tools become more available and easier to use. If we got to a place where that threshold felt possible. I would definitely consider it. but for now this is as far as i've been able to push it. Looking forward to hopefully closing this out honorably.
It always bothered me that they never thought to bring the Star Forge into canon. It would've been the perfect explanation for why Sidious could amass so many Imperial ships in the Unknown Regions. Was happy to see it make an appearance here!
This has been keeping me on the edge of my seat. You even handle HIS return better. I actually like the character of Rey this time because she doesn't win every fight and goes through lost, pain, and agony. This is a dark one but it has that hopeful optimism within. Can't wait until your episode nine!
You are a great writer. This is the most fun I've had watching Star wars since the OT. You just absolutely nail what I want from star wars in a way that feels genuine.
This rules. I love how you weaved all the plotlines from the Sequel Trilogy into a story that makes sense and feels earned. Everything actually feels cool, for once. I love the battle of Canto Bite, using Kylo Ren’s speeder bike from the concept art and a Knights of Ren speeder cavalry and the jetpack stormtroopers! I love how realistic Ben’s slip into the Dark Side felt, and the awesome Samurai-style battle where he takes his place as Kylo Ren. I love the way you made Rey’s arc actually work and made her a likable character, having believable connections with everyone. I love how Lando actually served a purpose in the plot. And finally I love how diabolically evil you portrayed Palpatine’s return, promising power and riches in a nuanced and realistic way to real life dictators. Genius work, my guy.
For the first time in many years, I felt anticipation for your story to unfold. I felt shock, joy, sadness, and hope. You have achieved what George dreamt of for his sequel trilogy. Your sequel stories are now MY Star Wars canon. Wow. I got chills. I love each of the characters in their own way. Bens fall reminds me of Anakin: someone truly good who has darkness and anger within and is then set off; Luke is the grandmaster Jedi he was always meant to become and he remains the Luke we all and love; Rey has depth to her character, and a truly brilliant arc. She becomes someone we can actually cheer on and admire even after what she’s done because she not only repents but realizes why, that she was just a tool (the granddaughter thing still doesn’t make sense though as Palpatine had no interest in having a family); Finn becomes another great character that we can admire, and Poe essentially takes over Han’s rooe I can hardly wait for part 3 aka your Episode 9.
The granddaughter thing makes sense to me because how else would palpatine find a worthy vessel seeing as he had so much difficulty making a clone of himself.
I started tearing up when Luke reminisced over Yoda, "I stopped trying to do anything long time ago." There is something so pure and just LUKE about that line, it feels like something he would say.
Thank you for creating this!…I’m a huge Star Wars fan and the sequel trilogy left a big hole in my heart that you’ve filled… It means a lot. Story telling is so much more than profit margins. It means a lot to fans of Star Wars, so thanks. I’m looking forward to the final chapter…😊
Hey @Marcusdennis Thanks man, your words warm my heart. I don't make any money on these videos because of all the copyrights I use so I truly do these for the fans, and selfishly myself because this is the story that lives in my imagination. So if I have the ability to share that with others and they connect with it, then there really is no better feeling or higher purpose in my opinion. I love telling stories and sharing them with others. so the fact it connected with you is amazing. Thanks!
I love that you have gone full tilt on Palpatine being the devil in human form with him setting himself up as a messiah but really wants to drag the galaxy into darkness
Nothing like a few biblical parallels for our favorite space opera. a chosen one, born of no father, a sacrificial offering of the body to destroy the devil, why not cataclysmic apocalypse followed by a second coming? whoops did I say too much? lol
Now this is how someone familiar with the Expanded Universe would do the sequels. So much better than what we got. I loved the nod to Mara Jade and Yoda.
I have never thought that I would want to see these characters in an alternate light. Here you bring out these characters potential. possibly my favorite Star Wars counter universe story in awhile
MARA JADE!! You just made my day. Fabulous reference. Like your Force Awakens script, this is also incredible!! And the parallels between Anakin and Ben are awesome. New subscriber!!
Yeah that small reference to Mara Jade was yet another example of the brilliant, yes, brilliant writing in these masterpieces. Man, I would love to see what the actors would think about this, especially Mark H.
This may seem silly to some but Starwars was a huge part of my life growing up and I was genuinely upset with the new trilogy Disney put out. This was so well done and actually gave me chills. Thank you so much for doing these. Truly
Dude! It’s not silly! Me and my son talk often about both the prequels, his trilogy, the og, my trilogy, and the sequels, our trilogy. How it all went so wrong is basically all we talk about! There’s another RUclipsr who has reimagined the prequels, now our canon, and now this will be our sequel canon. Part of me wonders that these are only this good because of what we got was so bad. Millions of people all creating and talking about how it could have been, should have been.
Wow. I LOVED this on so many levels. EVERY single character is much improved than what we got in the sequel trilogy. Rey and Ben are so much more interesting and relatable. This episode definitely gives me ESB vibes. Bravo! Can't wait to see your Episode 9!
I think you should make this whole series go through until Episode 10. It’ll allow us to see Ben’s descent into the dark side and a possible redemption at Episode 10.
Such a moving masterpiece! Rey’s story moved me to tears, I am so immersed! In some ways this format has something no movie has, as movies do not contain inner thoughts as books do. The images add a lot, and the music and sound just brings it all together! So amazing! Well done!
The scene at 37:00 is extraordinary. It gave me chills, and almost brought a tear to my eye. This is the Star Wars we deserved. Thank you so much for making this.
I’m no writer, but that felt too easy and very Hollywood. I was hoping Kylo would stop short of murder in an act of defiance and contempt, instead of conforming.
This is honestly incredible. You are a profoundly talented writer, and it is a crime if you don’t get to write a Star Wars film that gets made. I felt chills when Luke reassured Finn about having a good heart and being a good man. I needed to hear that. Thank you.
I noticed the ending of this resembles the ending of Episode 5 in that Luke is once again injured by a relative and the heroes are left reminiscing and looking out over the galaxy waiting for their next move. But this was absolutely incredible, so well written and so poetic. Can’t wait for Episode 9. You’ve earned another subscriber.
I love how everything that happens is in service of the story. Not just thrown in for fan service. You accomplished what Disney and the Prequels Couldn't do. Amazing. Can't wait for the next one
These two videos (can't wait for the third) have given me more excitment than the entire Disney sequels. Truthful to the past, and yet, so much of the characters and concepts of the new films is present. But with such sensibility, depth, conflict, emotion. Truly inspiring. Can't thank you enough for this amazing work.
I'm absolutely stunned at the 'feels' that your creation has created for me. Just amazing at how thorough and meticulously throughtful you've been with our original characters. Outstanding!!!
This definitely feels like a true starwars story like from legends and I definitely love this version of luke not the last jedi luke who just gives up just because of one failure, this version is both wise and powerful And believes in the best of people just like his mother
This is exceptional work. I haven't felt butterflies in my guy like this for a Star wars story since I first played KOTOR years and years ago. The most incredible part of this is that you still managed to include the raw DNA of both the Disney trilogy and the legends continuity. It's absolutely astounding. I want to live in the timeline where these were the real movies. If Disney had any idea what they were doing they should hire you now as a consultant.
I can’t wait for the next one. I’ve listened to these more times than I watched the actual movies. This is what good writing looks when your motive is to tell a good story without focusing on an agenda.
Si si. It’s also what you get when you have total creative control. Unfortunately these giant movies are so expensive they have way to many hands in the cookie jar usually unless your Nolan, Waititi or Gunn
Exactly right! They write by committee and throw things up on a whiteboard. I loved how you made Palpatine sound like Bernie Sanders. 😂 You’d definitely never get that from a corporate boardroom.
From now on, whenever I watch episode 6, I'll watch this series after. Great work! Weird how enjoyable a story is when you actually put effort into developing your characters
Do you even understand how good of a storyteller and author you are? This is insane dude-- insane. I don't even have a good enough adjective to say how "good" this is, all I can say is just keep doing it!!
This gave me chills. A few dialogue choices aside this was spectacular and I literally imagined everything you said with perfect imagery in my head especially with the sound and visuals. This is Star Wars and it belongs with the fans not some gross political lap dog corporation like Disney. Thank you for this👏👏👏!
This was so effing good that it's almost painful. This outstanding story could have made the sequels brilliants. I love how you take the same characters, similar story points, and make them 100 times better. You clearly put thought into this and it shows. This story honours the old characters, while bringing in the new ones. Well done.
Great job with the sequel even better than your first! I really felt it when Ben became the Kylo. His transformation made sense and it was powerful. Such amazing 3 dimensional characters with realistic motives and decisions. This is cannon as well for me now. I just need to watch it over and over to make it stick in my memory as the actual movie :). Thank you so much for putting this together and your writing genius!
Wow, this trilogy is turning out to be amazing! I also hope that you somehow further address Anakin’s prophecy and how he was supposed to bring balance to the force, he did but now palpatine it back. Anyways, it’s much better crafted than Disney’s trilogy, with thought out development and character depth!
the way ben referred to grandfather in THIS compared to the way he referred to grandfather in episode 8 is night and day, rly shows how dirty they did the last skywalker when you forget half the time hes even a skywalker in the actual sequels
This feels very much like what an old school EU author like Timothy Zahn or Kevin J. Anderson might have come up with for sequels circa 1995 had they been given a basic outline of characters and premise. In other words: awesome!
Another great story: twists that make sense but we didn't see coming, growth in every direction, conflicts external and internal crossing and fighting for priority... epic. I really love how you've woven the new characters into the world. You respected the characters we love, while still managing to make the new ones so compelling. We've seen so many bad examples of "passing the torch" recently that it warms my heart to see it done so masterfully. I quiver with anticipation for the third installment!
I love how you have weaved threads of the original trilogy around new situations and the new characters while giving them depth, meaning and force. I hope to see your storytelling in official Star Wars stories someday.
I'm blown away by how many confounding details and plot points you use from the Disney Star Wars movies and make sense of them. Also how much more believable the backstories and motivations of the characters are. The connective tissue!! ahhh! soo good. Seriously, well done. Thank you!
These need so much more attention, the amount of care, and sheer passion that went in is amazing and is clearly shown. Idk how you’ve done it but you’ve perfectly encapsulated these characters (especially Luke) I will be looking forward to EP 9. Wonderful job!
This is canon in my mind. Incredible story telling. Been awhile since I got emotional over Star Wars content. Thank you. I can only I magine if Disney completely re did these with your blueprints.
The interactions between Rey, Finn, and Poe are so heartfelt. I felt emotional stirrings watching this that I haven't felt since the original trilogy. Your work is amazing. I hope you have plans for your own original film because you understand story and character development.
I couldn't say it on the Episode 7 video, but the big reveal at the conclusion was done so well I had to leave a compliment somewhere. That is how you bring back a major antagonist. Subtle foreshadowing and then that curtain pull was absolutely perfect.
This story, your narration, and use of A.I. art creation each on their own would be impressive. The fact that you've managed to do all of the above is beyond impressive good sir.
At 7:46 it changes from an image of Luke and Rey sitting together to a version where Rey looks noticeably younger. I love that, it seems like she is learning what it is to be a child again, to slowly grow more aware of who you are and what you can do with your life. She's moving past the conditioning of the Remnant. Very cool, if only Disney knew how to write stories like this!
"I either do, or do not. I either am, or am not" Genius line. Great way to pay homage to the original trilogy but also be original and show Luke as his own jedi master.
This and TFA version is so amazing, I love how you used the same sequel characters and made them so much more interesting than what Disney did, I would’ve loved to see this stuff as movies, cannot wait for episode 9!!!
Are YOU KIDDING ME!!!! This is amazing! There is HOPE for SW! How much better is this compared to Ahsoka, BF, or OBK --- as a 12 year I watched SW in 1977 - and I was about to quit the whole thing after watching the art trash called Ahsoka. Youve given me hope!
When is the conclusion of this masterpiece, I will view this as head cannon for the rest of my days, literally brought me to tears. Every part of this felt like Star Wars, and Luke being true to his nature bravo.
I actually got emotional watching this. Everything was done so much better with a lot more purpose in each plot point. Bravo, I just wish we got this instead of the cannon sequel trilogy
I found out about your videos today and watched them back to back and you are a genius. I didn't even feel the time pass and was so surprised when it ended. This is the sequel trilogy we deserved, it's astounding that Disney with all their money couldn't manage anything even close to what you've done.
![Gunna - HIM ALL ALONG [Official Visualizer]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HiCxoDeo0hc/mqdefault.jpg)
I actually wish this could be crowd funded and done as an animated trilogy.
Great idea!
Let's just wait a few months and see what midjourney can do with live-action. I'm so hopeful of all the possibilities... Imagine a few years down the line: WHAT IF... Spielberg directed one of the Episodes? Coppola? De Palma? Lucas again? Brad Bird? Chris McQuarrie? ...What if Michael Arndt's original THE FORCE AWAKENS script got made?
Agreed
Why can’t they just make it instead of the stupid Disney crap
As an animator I’d be totally in
The “I stopped trying to do anything a long time ago” line was frickin genius.
hehe thanks
Followed by the Yoda reference right after. "Do or do not"
I totally agree!
especially following it up with Rey's "what the hell does that mean" 😂 exactly what we were all thinking when we heard Yoda say it the first time too
I'm sorry but this is totally inferior to the previous one. Ben turning to the dark side is way to goofy & he basically did the exact same thing they did to Finn in the real movies. Finn is being majorly sidelined & essentially cucked by a Poe & Rey romance. Finn & Rey bonding over their training & him trying to convince her that Luke & Jedi have her best interest is a far better lead into a relationship. Plus this whole I'm here to save you speech from the Emperor is just plain stupid. The galaxy celebrated the death of the Emperor. So I don't see a plausible scenario where they'd celebrate his return.
The transformation of Ben solo into Kylo with the Knights of Ren is a masterpiece
I like the idea of taking the guys name when you kill him like loving that Kylo is more like a ranking than a name per se.
Kylo Ren
Killer of Ren
The parallel between Finn and Luke’s own son is an interesting take. While Rey takes the role of Mara Jade in many respects.
It’s also clever how they gave him a hybrid arc: preserving his loved ones like Anakin, but concerned with social justice like Dooku.
Finn: That's my Master!
Disney: 😬
The way Rey is written in this is brilliant, and her becoming the main character we all root for feels deserved. Also actually getting to see Ben's turn to the dark side and his fathers death and him being willing to do anything to bring him back is so much more interesting, and it's very George Lucas - it rhymes, it's history repeating itself, in the same way Anakin's love for Padme and fear of losing her caused him to fall, Ben's love for his father and desperation to bring him back causes him to follow the same path. Genius. Plus Luke actually having screen time and being the grandmaster we wanted to see while still having flaws, such as not paying attention to his nephews turmoil while putting most of his time into befriending the woman who killed his father, is really awesome. Oh, and a post credits scene implying Lando is going to play an important part moving forwards? Fuck yes. Can't wait for the FINale.

I love how Luke acts like Socrates towards Rey asking her questions and leading her to her own realization of her motivations. This is so incredible.
This video made me feel like I watched the original starwars. This was me after the movie, why did I only discover this now?
There was something similar happening in SW Battlefront 2's (the new one) campaign, where Luke interacts with the imperial agent. It's a type of dialogism very typical for his character, so I'm happy it was captured in this story as well.
I wasn't happy to see a Grand Master Jedi picked up into the air and Force crushed like he was nothing but a canon fodder character. An overpowered Kylo is about as much fun as a Mary Sue Rey.
It kills me how beautiful this is. In my mind, this will forever be the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
It isn't.

Agreed it’s incredible
One of the largest complaints was finns treatment, hes still sidelined and likes rey but doesnt get her... this guy would still leave him out of the posters
@@10md. I need to relisten- I thought that Finn and Ray were getting closer?? Or was that in the sequel?? Need to relisten.
"A reaction is just your nature revealing it's self before your mind has a chance to get in the way." Great line. Thanks for your work.
Thanks @dannyherrera, appreciate you're support.
I had to hold back tears for that whole scene. I want these to become actual movies and replace Disney‘s sequels, this is beautiful, what Star Wars should be.
Can't wait for episode 9!
that's just as bad if not worse than any of the bad writing in the sequel trilogy. wordy and clumsy and stupid
@@prismstories *your, mr. rewrite
I still wouldn’t bring Palpatine back, but you really made it work. It’s amazing how you crafted a story with all the same characters that is somehow 100x better than the actual movies.
That's what I thought too. Of all bad ideas Disney had, bringing back Palpatine was definitely the worst. But at least in PRISMs versions it's kinda cool.
@@MassimoCerreto Yeah, my favorite part is how he actually explains how it happened, rather than saying "Somehow...Palpatine returned". You might as well replace a New Hope with "Somehow, the Death Star was destroyed".
In this version it wouldn’t ruin anakins prophecy either which is good
Palpatine did return multiple times in Legends though but similar to PRISMs it wasn't done in a way that undid the OT
If Anakin is somehow involved in defeating Palpatine this time around, so much the better.
"A reaction is just your nature revealing itselft before your mind has time to get in the way."
Now this is the type of dialogue on par with "Do or do not, there is no try" and the truths for a certain point of view.
Love it!
😁
You see what your eyes gaze upon, but are conflicted by your heart and mind perceiving different finalitities.
A real MHA moment of acting before thinking
After watching both of these episodes remakes my passion for Star Wars has been reignited.
This is what Star Wars was meant/is supposed to be. You have done such an amazing job with these remakes.
Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Same with me
Ben Solo was a great character that was ruined by Disney but this version was he was supposed to be . The Knights of Ren & his transformation to Kylo is genius.
This is such an incredible transition from the stories of the original characters to the stories of the new ones, with reasons to actually care about them and them actually caring about the situation. This kind of storytelling has not been seen in any of the Star Wars films and damn, is it incredible.
thanks @kale5122 I'm really moved by your words. it really means the world.
I agree completely.
This Rey has so much character depth and development. Look inti her face and eyes, fascinating. An AI version can do more than Daisy Ridley managed to do on screen. (Of course she was only a poodel of the Disney people)
I was thinking the exact same thing as it wrapped up!
This is fax
Given Luke’s original story being all about the redemption of his father. Having his master story be that of a slow redemption of a Sith padawan is so fitting, and also makes the Rey/Kylo switcheroo fitting, which in itself is a unique trajectory for a SW trilogy. It also allows us to see explore the whole “what would the republic do with Vader if he lived” question with Rey as the final chapter, a different exploration of redemption and forgiveness.
Damn good observation @damnFineCupOfCoffee really appreciate the support and the kind words.
@@prismstories Just making rey again the emperors granddaughter was unneeded. It felt so poorly in the 2019 badfic movie that is overshadows much. She could be a neutral person soemhow connectedto him but not in blood. You could still make it up in the next movie. Apart from it you did great.
@@danielschoch4881 Is she? She definitely thinks she is.
@@prismstories No blame on you. You are marvellous. Just to say. Its your story and possibilities should be used.
@@danielschoch4881 He seems to be trying to rework the core ideas of the Disney trilogy into good things. I might not care for her being a Palpatine much either, but I love how he's displaying that none of the ideas in isolation were bad per say, just that their execution was flawed.
OMG Disney is so GARBAGE!!! This is the Star Wars that should have been. This needs to go viral and get the attention of a sympathizer of George Lucas vision of Star Wars at Lucasfillm!
Put it out there! Let's blow it up.
💯
Maybe could’ve time travel back to 2012 to give this movie idea to JJ Abrams or something who would take this idea without being politicized by someone.
Okay so is it normal for me to cry through this? This is so much better than the sequels.
you're not the first. Probably won't be the last ;) lol
I never knew how much I needed this.... so emotional... hands down better then any single or combined thing produced by Disney.
I will do my best to overwrite my memories of the movies with this. Headcanon 100%
This trilogy will replace the Disney trilogy as canon in my head. A much more compelling story with far more character development than Disney managed. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next one
Completely agree. These videos have been captivating and emotional. The actual sequel trilogy was just painful.
Fr tho
Same. The shitriolgy has already been deleted and been replaced by this masterpiece in my brain. Lol... Hail to the independent creatives.
Yeah. I actually adore Rey here. I adore everyone.
Seriously impressive. This is an amazing audioscape even if you hadn't created this incredible story. It takes you back to ESB with its melancholy ending. Ray's character is exactly what Disney wanted... nuanced, powerful, lovable, mysterious, but she earns those things slowly over the course of two movies. Thank you so much for doing this. It's really so much better than what we got with the sequel trilogy.
Ugh! Josh you seriously warm my heart with your words. One of my biggest goals with this project is give Rey dimension. I have no issues with Daisy Ridley or the idea of a female lead. But I want her achievements and failures to feel earned and compelling. I hope we’ve accomplished that with this offering.
@@prismstories When will episode 9 be completed?
@@prismstoriesI can't get enough of this. I love the extended use of the ROTS soundtrack. I think it's the best soundtrack in the history of cinema.
@@prismstorieswell you made that happen with your story arc of Rey. In your TFA rewrite I found myself impressed with a Sith Rey, by the end of this I felt the impact of her self awareness and turn to the light, her confusion and vulnerability as she grappled with her past and the conflict inside her, then her guilt and finally her acceptance (Jedi way) of who she was and who she is now. As the ones she hurt begin to accept her, I found myself accepting and then rooting for her. Job well done sir!
I'm impressed how well you hit many of the same beats as the sequel trilogy, but actually earned and explained things in a way that didn't feel cheap. These versions of Rey, Ben, Finn, and Poe feel so much more rounded as characters and at home within the lore of Star Wars. AND you payed respect to the OT characters instead of fundamentally changing them for the worse. Great work!
Thanks @HankMcCoyMode that was the goal! Appreciate your support. Looking forward ix
Exactly … it makes me like all those sequel trilogy characters that I hate it but this with Mara, Jade as his wife and him allowing Jedi like in the extended universe to Marie I kind of wanted to see Mara Jaden and Luke. Happy with a wife.
@@chefhetfield love it
I am legit crying at the emotions you are bringing up in this summery of a movie. You are moved me a thousand times more than Disney's Star Wars ever has
Yay 😀
“A reaction is just your nature revealing itself before your mind has time to get in the way.” Is perfect writing. This is INCREDIBLE.
I love it man, you created in a video what Disney couldn't in a trilogy, you deserve the thunderous applause👏👏👏,can't wait for ep 9
Thanks man!, it's a labor of love. will be taking a break but will do my best to leave you satisfied when 9 is ready.
@@prismstories you're doing a fantastic job so far!
You may just revive my love of Star Wars!
Wow! Intricately and meticulously layered and nuanced, this is exceptionally compelling storytelling --- both VII & VIII! Can't wait for the story's culmination in IX!
I cannot even begin to imagine how magnificent this might have looked on the big screen!
gorgeously. the battle for Canto Bight, the Kylo Ren hand to hand combat, Luke and his nephew turning on each other, Rey's redemption. all could have been exceptionally riveting moments.
Gotta admit, not sure I feel about having the emperor back. But his influence and build up is honestly still felt throughout this series and I can't help but to be on board with it. So many developments happening and every moment feeling earned. Well done.
Thank you
@@prismstoriesyou actually capture your audience. They stand in awe and wonder what happens next. This is true masterwork storytelling. It's only too bad Hollywood prefers propaganda to good writing. You would have people lined up to go to the theaters again.
I LOVE this dynamic of Master Luke and Padawan Rey. Feels a bit Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in TPM, but also something of its own. Then the way it set up the next generation of jedi is so much more earned.
That's the Rey and Luke relationship I wanted in the sequels. An ACTUAL mentorship that almost is like father and daughter
This is how you do something new and respect the original characters. I LOVE how Luke is treated here. Brilliant
Thanks
I usually don't have the patience to sit through AI voiceovers, but DAMN these two episodes so far are so well put together. The ai generated art really helps the imagination, and the story itself has been consistently ramping up to where we are now. Excited for part 3!
😁😁😁 thanks for joining the party!!!
It's like hearing Luke tell this story
It’s absolutely insane how well these 2 stories have been so far, it’s exciting and I can reimagine how this could have all played out this way, truly amazing work. It genuinely saddens me that Disney didn’t go this route.
Wow @Kalebkennedy thank you for the support and love! We definitely wanted to incorporate the new characters with the old without undermining what came before. It was so clear to me how this third trilogy ought to be handled but I am just one voice among millions but I am glad technology is catching up to the point where a little nobody like me can actually put something out that fans can respond to.
I'm genuinely being sincere here when I say, I'm nearly in tears from this. One because it's just so damn good! The writing, the pacing, the dialogue, the settings, the tones and themes, are all 100% bang on. Two because we desperately need this to be real! I am now fully invested and looking forward to the final act. THIS IS WHAT STAR WARS IS SUPPOSED TO BE!!!!! I've never wished for much because it usually ends in disappointment, but seeing these as full length feature films on the big screen would bring many of us closure in ways that Disney never could. I'm extremely grateful for your contributions. Thank you.🔥🔥🔥🔥❤🤩
Wow! Thanks again BG. I wouldn't rule out feature length fan fiction as the technology and tools become more available and easier to use. If we got to a place where that threshold felt possible. I would definitely consider it. but for now this is as far as i've been able to push it. Looking forward to hopefully closing this out honorably.
closure is such a fine way of putting it. The closure we can never ever have.
37:25 was such a beautiful moment especially with the music swelling in... I wish this was the sequel trilogy we got.
Wonderful to hear
It always bothered me that they never thought to bring the Star Forge into canon. It would've been the perfect explanation for why Sidious could amass so many Imperial ships in the Unknown Regions. Was happy to see it make an appearance here!
This has been keeping me on the edge of my seat. You even handle HIS return better. I actually like the character of Rey this time because she doesn't win every fight and goes through lost, pain, and agony. This is a dark one but it has that hopeful optimism within. Can't wait until your episode nine!
The middle is usually the darkness before the light. Dark knight, empire, two towers etc
Thanks for the support
Yes, the middle episode being dark is epic. It is not used enough.
@@ssjdoob thanks mate
Now that Luke's physically broken, the force projection scene can be used again, and now, he would have an actual reason to do it like that.
You are a great writer. This is the most fun I've had watching Star wars since the OT. You just absolutely nail what I want from star wars in a way that feels genuine.
Thanks mate! that's very kind
Maaan yes! What we definitely did not want is 'the force is female' trilogy that we got, lols 😂
This rules. I love how you weaved all the plotlines from the Sequel Trilogy into a story that makes sense and feels earned. Everything actually feels cool, for once. I love the battle of Canto Bite, using Kylo Ren’s speeder bike from the concept art and a Knights of Ren speeder cavalry and the jetpack stormtroopers! I love how realistic Ben’s slip into the Dark Side felt, and the awesome Samurai-style battle where he takes his place as Kylo Ren. I love the way you made Rey’s arc actually work and made her a likable character, having believable connections with everyone. I love how Lando actually served a purpose in the plot. And finally I love how diabolically evil you portrayed Palpatine’s return, promising power and riches in a nuanced and realistic way to real life dictators. Genius work, my guy.
Thanks man
For the first time in many years, I felt anticipation for your story to unfold. I felt shock, joy, sadness, and hope. You have achieved what George dreamt of for his sequel trilogy. Your sequel stories are now MY Star Wars canon. Wow. I got chills. I love each of the characters in their own way. Bens fall reminds me of Anakin: someone truly good who has darkness and anger within and is then set off; Luke is the grandmaster Jedi he was always meant to become and he remains the Luke we all and love; Rey has depth to her character, and a truly brilliant arc. She becomes someone we can actually cheer on and admire even after what she’s done because she not only repents but realizes why, that she was just a tool (the granddaughter thing still doesn’t make sense though as Palpatine had no interest in having a family); Finn becomes another great character that we can admire, and Poe essentially takes over Han’s rooe
I can hardly wait for part 3 aka your Episode 9.
Thanks man! very kind
This is NOT what Lucas would have done buddy
@@jackbrodie7147 yea but its still better than what disney made but if george was behind the wheel for the sequel it would have been way better
The granddaughter thing makes sense to me because how else would palpatine find a worthy vessel seeing as he had so much difficulty making a clone of himself.
I started tearing up when Luke reminisced over Yoda, "I stopped trying to do anything long time ago." There is something so pure and just LUKE about that line, it feels like something he would say.
If that got you, wait until you see 9
Thank you for creating this!…I’m a huge Star Wars fan and the sequel trilogy left a big hole in my heart that you’ve filled… It means a lot. Story telling is so much more than profit margins. It means a lot to fans of Star Wars, so thanks. I’m looking forward to the final chapter…😊
Hey @Marcusdennis Thanks man, your words warm my heart. I don't make any money on these videos because of all the copyrights I use so I truly do these for the fans, and selfishly myself because this is the story that lives in my imagination. So if I have the ability to share that with others and they connect with it, then there really is no better feeling or higher purpose in my opinion. I love telling stories and sharing them with others. so the fact it connected with you is amazing. Thanks!
Brilliant. Got teary eyed when Luke and Rey were talking at the temple with John Williams score. Great job!
That was the Yoda theme from Empire, felt like a rhythmic call back to call back Luke's time with Yoda as he spends time with Rey.
I love that you have gone full tilt on Palpatine being the devil in human form with him setting himself up as a messiah but really wants to drag the galaxy into darkness
Nothing like a few biblical parallels for our favorite space opera. a chosen one, born of no father, a sacrificial offering of the body to destroy the devil, why not cataclysmic apocalypse followed by a second coming? whoops did I say too much? lol
@@prismstories so Palpatine has a higher ambition other than just taking over again?
@@billmcdermott9647 could be lol
The way past lines are used in an organic “non-contrived” way is so brilliant
Now this is how someone familiar with the Expanded Universe would do the sequels. So much better than what we got. I loved the nod to Mara Jade and Yoda.
Dude for real this is incredible, I cannot wait for the final episode. This writing is a thousand times better, really wish this is what we got
woohooo!
I have never thought that I would want to see these characters in an alternate light. Here you bring out these characters potential. possibly my favorite Star Wars counter universe story in awhile
I am honored @Morpheuskingofdreams. Thank you for your support.
MARA JADE!! You just made my day. Fabulous reference. Like your Force Awakens script, this is also incredible!! And the parallels between Anakin and Ben are awesome. New subscriber!!
Woot woot! Happy to have you join the party!!!
Yeah that small reference to Mara Jade was yet another example of the brilliant, yes, brilliant writing in these masterpieces. Man, I would love to see what the actors would think about this, especially Mark H.
30:29-30:50
This may seem silly to some but Starwars was a huge part of my life growing up and I was genuinely upset with the new trilogy Disney put out. This was so well done and actually gave me chills. Thank you so much for doing these. Truly
Dude! It’s not silly! Me and my son talk often about both the prequels, his trilogy, the og, my trilogy, and the sequels, our trilogy. How it all went so wrong is basically all we talk about! There’s another RUclipsr who has reimagined the prequels, now our canon, and now this will be our sequel canon. Part of me wonders that these are only this good because of what we got was so bad. Millions of people all creating and talking about how it could have been, should have been.
Wow. I LOVED this on so many levels. EVERY single character is much improved than what we got in the sequel trilogy. Rey and Ben are so much more interesting and relatable. This episode definitely gives me ESB vibes. Bravo! Can't wait to see your Episode 9!
Nothing short of STUNNING!!! Please let there be an Episode 9!
Okay, if you say so
The King has returned!
@TheMasonK I hope you enjoy. First comment of the day. LOVE IT!
I think you should make this whole series go through until Episode 10. It’ll allow us to see Ben’s descent into the dark side and a possible redemption at Episode 10.
@@TheMasonK you bet MasonK
Such a moving masterpiece! Rey’s story moved me to tears, I am so immersed!
In some ways this format has something no movie has, as movies do not contain inner thoughts as books do.
The images add a lot, and the music and sound just brings it all together!
So amazing! Well done!
Thanks!
I love how luke made references to mara jade and the thrawn trilogy
11:32 Umar Johnson gasping for air right now.
The scene at 37:00 is extraordinary. It gave me chills, and almost brought a tear to my eye. This is the Star Wars we deserved. Thank you so much for making this.
😁
Awesome job. Kylo Ren and the Knights of Ren was really a nice touch
Thanks!
I’m no writer, but that felt too easy and very Hollywood. I was hoping Kylo would stop short of murder in an act of defiance and contempt, instead of conforming.
@@adamkral8110 nah
@@adamkral8110 Do you think the Dark side is the mickey mouse club???
This is honestly incredible. You are a profoundly talented writer, and it is a crime if you don’t get to write a Star Wars film that gets made. I felt chills when Luke reassured Finn about having a good heart and being a good man. I needed to hear that. Thank you.
I noticed the ending of this resembles the ending of Episode 5 in that Luke is once again injured by a relative and the heroes are left reminiscing and looking out over the galaxy waiting for their next move.
But this was absolutely incredible, so well written and so poetic. Can’t wait for Episode 9. You’ve earned another subscriber.
Yay!
It makes me so sad that this was not what we got from the trilogy. This is EXACTLY what i wanted. Amazing.
I love how everything that happens is in service of the story. Not just thrown in for fan service. You accomplished what Disney and the Prequels Couldn't do. Amazing. Can't wait for the next one
Thanks @Mattpachecomusic hopefully it will read as one continuous story instead of 3 disconnected installments
These two videos (can't wait for the third) have given me more excitment than the entire Disney sequels. Truthful to the past, and yet, so much of the characters and concepts of the new films is present. But with such sensibility, depth, conflict, emotion. Truly inspiring. Can't thank you enough for this amazing work.
Thanks @DanielCarrapa thats very kind to say. Looking forward to closing out with a bang.
I'm absolutely stunned at the 'feels' that your creation has created for me. Just amazing at how thorough and meticulously throughtful you've been with our original characters. Outstanding!!!
I hope to give you all the feels @zsolaith lol
This is so much better than the films we got. It feels like an actual organic sequel.
DAMN! there are multiple times I got chills in this. What an amazing character we could have had with Rey. All of them. This is legit
Amazing
Part 2 is out. This has made my whole week.
Absolutely incredible work.
Yay! Glad to add a little happiness in the world
This definitely feels like a true starwars story like from legends and I definitely love this version of luke not the last jedi luke who just gives up just because of one failure, this version is both wise and powerful
And believes in the best of people just like his mother
Exactly!
This is exceptional work. I haven't felt butterflies in my guy like this for a Star wars story since I first played KOTOR years and years ago. The most incredible part of this is that you still managed to include the raw DNA of both the Disney trilogy and the legends continuity. It's absolutely astounding. I want to live in the timeline where these were the real movies. If Disney had any idea what they were doing they should hire you now as a consultant.
F*cking awesome. Disney should be taking notes from these guys.
Nice nod to Mara Jade. I love it.
I can’t wait for the next one. I’ve listened to these more times than I watched the actual movies. This is what good writing looks when your motive is to tell a good story without focusing on an agenda.
Si si. It’s also what you get when you have total creative control. Unfortunately these giant movies are so expensive they have way to many hands in the cookie jar usually unless your Nolan, Waititi or Gunn
Exactly right! They write by committee and throw things up on a whiteboard. I loved how you made Palpatine sound like Bernie Sanders. 😂 You’d definitely never get that from a corporate boardroom.
@@ssjdoob hahaha

This was so effing good that it's almost painful. This outstanding story could have made the sequels brilliants. I love how you take the same characters, similar story points, and make them 100 times better. You clearly put thought into this and it shows. This story honours the old characters, while bringing in the new ones. Well done.
Great job with the sequel even better than your first! I really felt it when Ben became the Kylo. His transformation made sense and it was powerful. Such amazing 3 dimensional characters with realistic motives and decisions. This is cannon as well for me now. I just need to watch it over and over to make it stick in my memory as the actual movie :). Thank you so much for putting this together and your writing genius!
Thanks man!
This helps heal some of the trauma we all suffered from the Disney films.
Wow, this trilogy is turning out to be amazing! I also hope that you somehow further address Anakin’s prophecy and how he was supposed to bring balance to the force, he did but now palpatine it back. Anyways, it’s much better crafted than Disney’s trilogy, with thought out development and character depth!
the way ben referred to grandfather in THIS compared to the way he referred to grandfather in episode 8 is night and day, rly shows how dirty they did the last skywalker when you forget half the time hes even a skywalker in the actual sequels
This is so much better than the garbage we got.
This feels very much like what an old school EU author like Timothy Zahn or Kevin J. Anderson might have come up with for sequels circa 1995 had they been given a basic outline of characters and premise. In other words: awesome!
Another great story: twists that make sense but we didn't see coming, growth in every direction, conflicts external and internal crossing and fighting for priority... epic. I really love how you've woven the new characters into the world. You respected the characters we love, while still managing to make the new ones so compelling. We've seen so many bad examples of "passing the torch" recently that it warms my heart to see it done so masterfully. I quiver with anticipation for the third installment!
I love how you have weaved threads of the original trilogy around new situations and the new characters while giving them depth, meaning and force. I hope to see your storytelling in official Star Wars stories someday.
I'm blown away by how many confounding details and plot points you use from the Disney Star Wars movies and make sense of them. Also how much more believable the backstories and motivations of the characters are. The connective tissue!! ahhh! soo good. Seriously, well done. Thank you!
"Luke places seeds in her hand" Here, I am super involved in this story. Then I hear my wife laughing asking "Are you sure it was in her hand?"
These need so much more attention, the amount of care, and sheer passion that went in is amazing and is clearly shown. Idk how you’ve done it but you’ve perfectly encapsulated these characters (especially Luke) I will be looking forward to EP 9. Wonderful job!
Absolutely incredible. I had my doubts, but this is the best rewrite I've seen!
Haha, glad to have earned your support @@KnuthMaestro
This is canon in my mind. Incredible story telling. Been awhile since I got emotional over Star Wars content. Thank you. I can only I magine if Disney completely re did these with your blueprints.
wouldn't that be something
The interactions between Rey, Finn, and Poe are so heartfelt. I felt emotional stirrings watching this that I haven't felt since the original trilogy. Your work is amazing. I hope you have plans for your own original film because you understand story and character development.
I couldn't say it on the Episode 7 video, but the big reveal at the conclusion was done so well I had to leave a compliment somewhere. That is how you bring back a major antagonist. Subtle foreshadowing and then that curtain pull was absolutely perfect.
I can’t believe how much better this is It’s a shame they didn’t have good writing like this.
Gotta be honest…this is some of the best story telling I’ve ever seen.
Thanks mate!
He delivers! Wasn't expecting a continuation so soon.
I don't sleep anymore.
How awesome that you incorporated Luke's backstory with Mara Jade.
This story, your narration, and use of A.I. art creation each on their own would be impressive. The fact that you've managed to do all of the above is beyond impressive good sir.
At 7:46 it changes from an image of Luke and Rey sitting together to a version where Rey looks noticeably younger. I love that, it seems like she is learning what it is to be a child again, to slowly grow more aware of who you are and what you can do with your life. She's moving past the conditioning of the Remnant. Very cool, if only Disney knew how to write stories like this!
Thanks man
It's just AI art
Disney needs to hire this man and let him do his thing! Amazing work as always!!
Thanks my guy!
"I either do, or do not. I either am, or am not" Genius line. Great way to pay homage to the original trilogy but also be original and show Luke as his own jedi master.
This and TFA version is so amazing, I love how you used the same sequel characters and made them so much more interesting than what Disney did, I would’ve loved to see this stuff as movies, cannot wait for episode 9!!!
Thanks Jackson
Are YOU KIDDING ME!!!! This is amazing! There is HOPE for SW! How much better is this compared to Ahsoka, BF, or OBK --- as a 12 year I watched SW in 1977 - and I was about to quit the whole thing after watching the art trash called Ahsoka. Youve given me hope!
Thanks man
When is the conclusion of this masterpiece, I will view this as head cannon for the rest of my days, literally brought me to tears. Every part of this felt like Star Wars, and Luke being true to his nature bravo.
The elaboration on the knights of ren and the shadow is astoundingly impressive
The force is strong with you.
And you @edd3spagh3tt44
I actually got emotional watching this. Everything was done so much better with a lot more purpose in each plot point. Bravo, I just wish we got this instead of the cannon sequel trilogy
I found out about your videos today and watched them back to back and you are a genius. I didn't even feel the time pass and was so surprised when it ended. This is the sequel trilogy we deserved, it's astounding that Disney with all their money couldn't manage anything even close to what you've done.
