*Star Wars: A Vietnam Story.*

I loved how they even included the obligatory Wilhelm scream haha. It's a subtle inclusion, but it's a classic.

You've heard of Space Jam, now get ready for Space 'Nam!

Disney: this is not canon! Fans: unfortunately the Senate will not see it that way

One of the stormtroopers literally said "Overheating, cover me!" Straight out of Battlefront XD

Finally a Star Wars where Imperial troopers hit somebody!

I love how the STs call and yell at each other like real soldiers. The, "Over heat cover me." Was what gave me a little smile.

The special effects, the acting, the costumes, everything about this was spectacular. Just as good as the actual movies. Well done indeed!

Poor Wilhelm couldn’t even escape the fan films!

Anyone else feel like we were on the beach in Rogue one?

They must have a pretty sizable budget compared to other fan films.

Excellent acting and the squad maneuvers, no talking and use of hand signals in the beginning before contact were pretty good. I like how both the Stormtroopers and Rebels utilize cover halfway through the film, as opposed to the actual movies where everyone stands around in the open like morons. Outstanding quality overall, I'd love to see more.

You know it's a good star wars film when it has a willhelm scream

"The blaster doesn't make you a soldier, what you do with it does." Great quote.

This is canon to me. You even managed to make stormtroopers intimidating while also having the viewer root for the rebels. Also, are we not gonna talk about the action? The rebels are actually taking cover and providing covering fire instead of just firing into the open. Bravo, easily the best SW fan film I’ve ever seen

when you and your friends are star wars nerds but also into paintball

Not gonna lie, dude. Felt like I was watching an actual Star Wars film. Very nicely done.

Congratulations on finding Stormtroopers for your film that CAN actually hit targets they fire at. That must have been an exhausting process.

If you don’t like what somebody else is putting on the screen, sometimes you have to get out there and do it yourself. These fan films are just getting better and better.

only 12 minutes long and I was more invested in these characters than I was for the entire Dizknee/Lucasfilth sequel trilogy. Well done all concerned.

“The blaster doesn’t make you a soldier. It’s what you do with it that does” One of the coolest lines in Star Wars history.

Not having a Jedi... You're a bold one indeed!

I really like how they gave a more realistic and even WWII movies vibes and still fits Insanely good with the Star Wars style, well done stuff ❤️

So cool how they even had the A280s and T21s from the movies

cool story guys nice work

One of the highest quality Fan Films I have seen in a while.

It took me over two years to watch this and I don't think I have ever commented on anything on KZfaq before (not that my comments matter), but this is one of the best Star Wars experiences I have had in a long, long time. Thank you very much and may the Force with you. Always.

Felt like a deleted scene right out of Rogue One. Very professionally executed.

This can't be a fan film... the sound is too good

This actually feels like Star Wars and not some cheap cheesy fan film. Nice work.

A Vietnam style movie in Star Wars that adds more suspense is amazing!

I would love to se a Rebel squad series that followed there story through the civil war, where the squad was as highly trained and skilled as modern special forces. Deploying tactics and like to finish a mission, not just using plot amour.

Lets run a checklist. 1. Dramatic and uplifting music - check 2. Authentic Rebel and Imperial uniforms that dont look home made - check 3. A General of the Rebel alliance giving a daring do monologue - check 3. A Rebel mission with suicidal levels of danger for minimal payoff - check 4. A total lack of accuracy by stormtroopers - check 5. A THERMAL DETONATOR!!!! - check Yup, what you have made here is grade 1, top notch, Star Wars short that could be part of SW lore! Amazing job guys, really really good. But you didnt need me to tell you that :)

This fan film will make a fine addition to my fan films collection !

After 5 years this is still the best fan film I’ve ever seen ❤

To this day one of the best Star Wars short films on KZfaq. Engaging cinematography, snappy action, clean editing. Your actors sell the danger. And most importantly, your story is simple and competently written, making it leagues above most of the bland bilge on KZfaq.

The best day of my childhood was May 24 1977. My parents and some friends of theirs took me to see a movie. We waited in line for 4 hours to get tickets, after that we went to a pizza place and got a couple 22" pizzas. We had to wait another 2 hours to see the movie. From the time the movie started to the ending credits I was completely memorized. All I talked about for the next year was Star Wars and the Oakland Raiders. Half of my bedroom was Star Wars sheets, curtains, bedspread, pillow cases and toys. I was really impressed by this short film. If you ever get funding for a full length movie. I will load up all 5 of my grand kids, take them to pizza and then watch your movie. Being a US Army Infantry Vet, made me notice some of the flaws in the squad's movements and tactics. When your in a combat situation, your weapons is always pointed where your eyes are. That's not a big deal though. The emotions people feel before, during and after a firefight where there and that's what really matters. As fan made films go, top notch. I'm looking forward to seeing a complete film.

I don't know if anybody else agrees but I am thoroughly impressed with how good the props and costumes were. Especially for a fan film.

And for some reason the rebels seem quite well organised even though you would expect since they are essentially a militia force you wouldn’t expect them to be well organised but they are and also the fact that the storm troopers were actually hitting their target like they should be shows that the creators paid attention

The story fit so well together, this was a good Star Wars film.

I 100% believe that if Star Wars truly wants the most successful Movie/Tv Show, then they better start hiring people that put this much heart and thought into their stories. Fans aren't making new Canon with new abilities or ships or super weapons, they put them selves into the universe trying their damnedest to not break canon or lore, these are the people you hire for making the story. NOT the fuckwits that break their own lore just for a cool shot every 30 min in each movie.

Why are Fan Made movies SOOOOO much better then the Hollywood productions

the look of this film is better than any fan film I've seen. Great lighting and cinematography.

Packs more emotion in 15 minutes than most major studio films.

This was pretty great. it's nice to see stormtroopers being competent in regards to shooting and for the rebels, I really get that vibe of the mission's outcome is all that matters, returning home is a secondary priority which is how I saw alot of the galactic civil war. Rebels losing most/all of their forces getting their objective done resulting in tactical victories in the long run.

Mate I forgot this was a fan made film you've made the SW community proud

I heard a Wilhelm scream! Great Work.

Well done everyone who had anything to do with getting this made. I saw Star Wars in the cinema in 1977 and this was a great experince. Thank you all.

I believe there's one thing that's good about the new SW trilogy. And that is, that filmmakers finally have the confidence that they CAN do better, or at least as good as the 'big' movies. The fanfilms being released lately are proof of the will and ability of creative minds to tell stories in that universe. I'm not saying these are better than any of the new or old movies, but the inspiration that's coming from that is real. That's what we as fans should respect about everyones effort, even the crappy big budget and no budget ones.

This is why Star Wars should belong to those who actually care about it.

I really hope the people that created this get a chance to be the directors for the next star wars films.. and the actors too did such a great job. I love watching these. You guys deserve so much more!

Somehow a 12 min fan-made film has the same production quality-and is arguably more compelling-than the new Star Wars films by Disney. Well done y’all!

4:35 Love how you guys included the famous WILHELM Scream!!

This was great! The costumes and props were amazing. This is one of the highest quality Star Wars fan films I've seen!

The story and godly voice over gave this story life, the music and sounds gave this story a soul.

This is some of the best acting in any StarWars Fan film I've watched. Great job to all involved.

This was actually pretty good. Palpable tension during the hacking scene, and I loved the circular nature in the way the story was told. Caught me off guard and didn't expect it at all. Cool stuff.

I almost mistook this as an actual official product One thing I like I how the blasters are held. The rebels look like they're using actual modern weapons. Perfect idea tbh.

THE WEAPON HANDLING WAS WONDERFUL!!

I come back every once in a while to hear this man make his speech in his great narrative voice!

Does anyone got a rogue one vibe ???

Saving Private Jedi

This is one of the best fanfilms, that I've ever seen. Good story, good actors, good CGI...

goosebumps..... straight through the whole film....

It's always nice to see the fandom creating good things instead of just complaining about things.

Wow for a moment I felt like watching real star wars ;D Well done!

Thank you to all involved. I deeply enjoyed this and I will be back.

This was so awesome, felt like an actual star wars movie.

damn he hit the trooper with his M4 sight upside-down and looking through the sling attachment. nice shot

This is pissing me off. The guys below me are right. It is frustrating that the only good Star Wars coming nowadays is from fans. You guys did an awesome job and I hope to see much more. May the force be with you, always.

The storytelling is immaculate ⚠️✨

I like the fact that it was very simple. No acrobatics and fancy light saber fights (however much I enjoy them). A human story about those we never think about when thinking Star Wars. Well done. A very good acting.

4:35 they used that typical scream, i love it!

From one student filmmaker to another who went outside the scope of our situations, I appreciate your work. Awesome job!

This is the best fan film I've ever seen. And I cannot imagine a bigger StarWars fan than myself. You guys can be so proud of yourself! Congratulations for that masterpice.

I've been working my way through quite a few Star Wars fan films and I'm always amazed by the quality I find. This is great work!

The only complaint I have is the length, I wish it were longer!

There's actually like, a surprising amount of layers in this. I absolutely adored this. "Remember why we fight." Couldve gotten out of there quieter, saved some troops, but they saved those civilians. Inspiring that boy, letting the revolution live on. Hearts and minds, not bodies and blasters. Awesome work y'all.

This is so well done. The amount of details in there is just making me speechless. Just look at 3:40: The rebellious soldier closes one eye while aiming in - trained soldiers are taught to aim while having both eyes open. That just shows how improvised and amateurish the rebels are. Fantastic!

Absolutely fantastic! More please!!! For just 12 mins really sets the story going really pulling on us to want and see more of this story play out! Fantastic job!

Congratulations! I loved this fan film. I saw Star Wars in 1977 (I'm 50 years old) and I'm happily surprised the amount and quality of these new fan films that take me back to that era with much nostalgia. I loved the fact that the story is not about Jedis Vs Siths and lightsabers duels. Great work!

Great work team!

As someone who has (unfortunately) watched 100s of Star Wars short/ fan films on yt, I can confidently say that this is one of the best and the best one I've seen in recent memory.

This should be made into a full feature major motion picture!

Now we need a fan film from the other side!

Well done ODYSSEY!! This was fantastic.

12 minutes. 12 freaking minutes got me more emotionally involved than the whole postlogy !

If you guys slapped star wars on your channel name And said filoni directed this I wouldnt of questioned it. The graphics props, acting. Very impressed. 👌👌👌

Wow, INCREDIBLE work on this! :D The Forrrrce is strong with the team that worked on this and we really enjoyed watching it!

Highest production values I've seen in almost any fan film.

One of the best Fan films I have seen so far about Star Wars.

These guys dropped this gem 3 years ago then fell of the face of the planet. This shii was insanely good and i need more💯

finally… its star wars.. wars with soldiers!!!

I keep going back to writing my own film. It went from a Star Wars fan film to my own idea. And this is one of many short films thay have inspired me to continue with it.

Guys this is so well done, thank you for uploading this short film. This could could been a spin off. This is how you make a fan film!

This & other short films do what Disney did not, keeping the spirit and the essence of Star Wars alive. Absolutely Fantastic Work 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

When fan films capture the essence of Star Wars, and the official sequels feel like diarrhea running along your legs

Wow. ODYSSEY really lived up to the hype I had for it. this was simply breathtaking. I got chills at many parts and I am currently tearing up while writing this. Please do not stop making movies and fan films. Now, this- this is the fan film I've been looking for.

lost myself in this short for a moment. which is rare. Thank you

This is one of the coolest Fan Films ever, the narrator is talking about the war and what makes you a solider it’s just so amazing! I hope to see a other film like this because I don’t really want force users like in the movies but soldiers fighting and these characters I love
