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.”

Not the biggest or most heavily armed warship but good for those small tasks where the larger ships are too much.

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.

@Swooper86 2 жыл бұрын

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 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="120">2:00</a> mark the starfighters disappear even though in the next scene they are fighting around the destroyer. Overall tho great animation!

@zobblewobble1770 3 жыл бұрын

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.

@glitterboy2098 3 жыл бұрын

@@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.

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.

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!!!

@@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.

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.

I think that was the planetary shield bubble, since ISD shields are usually invisible.

@@nickfoster8336 How is that toxic? The sequels were total garbage and are almost universally considered so. Even the prequels got better viewer scores, and that takes some serious doing compared to Episode 2. Sequels had a ridiculous and disjointed plot, completely forgettable and poorly written characters, and bastardized/character assassinated the most iconic figures arguably in cinema history, tarnishing some of the most important cinematic cultural contributions america ever gave the world decades ago. You don't just take one of, if not THE most popular media franchises on the planet and then completely half ass it, casually insert a bunch of modern political crap, and crap all over the lore, characters, and stories of the previous films without getting backlash. There's absolutely nothing toxic at all about that. The sequels, even if taken outside of the context of star wars, were just plain TRASH.

@@nickfoster8336 Stupid stuff like the casino planet where they have this entire side story detached from the rest of the movie just to whine about capitalism for 20 minutes, shoving dumb characters like Rose Tiko into the mix just to hit diversity checkboxes only to then chuck the character aside in the 3rd movie with a 1 minute cameo, faux-progressive pandering with the lesbian kiss in the 3rd movie to appear woke in western audiences only to then show their true colors by going and cutting the scene for every country that doesn't like it in Asia and the middle east, etc. There was tons of pandering in the sequels; I'm black and even I thought it was stupid, and so did the actors, given how Finn and Rose's actors lambasted Disney rather openly recently on the matter of just using certain 'types' of people as props when the Lucas films managed to have actual diversity in a manner that respected people's intelligence as well as it's actors.

@nickfoster8336 3 жыл бұрын

Shadow7988 I agree with some of that. Disney needs to commit more to LGBT and diverse representation. However, Star Wars has always and always will be political. Example: the Battle of Endor is literally the Vietnam War and the prequels are loaded with political commentary.

Star Wars reality check. These battles do not always end happily - someone loses. Combatants die. Terrible sacrifices are made. Brave valiant lives are extinguished in the heat of battle, their traumatised bodies lost in the cold vacuum of space. This is the sad reality of a true Star Wars battle. Well made. Kudos for the brown clouds of smoke accompanying each spacecraft’s destruction. That carried a message of its own - a reminder of the ever present dark side!

Damn, seriously good stuff. Looking forward to more. One small edit recommendation. The rebel fighter leader talks about “those tie fighters” just before they actually leave the Imperial ship. Just have her talk slightly later or edit so we see them come out and then mention? But it’s such a great film so as is its fantastic. Thanks for making this!
