2 жыл бұрынStar Wars: Heir to the Empire
The Rebel Alliance has destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and driven the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the galaxy.
Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting Jedi twins. And Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi Knights.
But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor's warlords has taken command of the shattered Imperial fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the New Republic....
Animated fanfilm based on the novel by Timothy Zahn.

@DarthAngelus Much praise! If you happen to require new voice talent in the future I'd be honored to help out and offer mine. Its easy to see the passion you have for Star Wars {this series really helped me through some Disney Star Wars blues). I have a range similar to Frank Welker, as for mimicry, I can do Vader. Yoda, ObiWan and the Emperor pretty well. Possibly C3P0 & Dooku too. I'm good with accents as well. Im best suited for high strange voices and low commanding ones. Minor background in theater. Well, Let me know.... Again great job

I read all 3 novels in the series. I was awestruck as the story pulled me in and Grand Admiral Thrawn is by far, as much a threat to the galaxy, as the Emperor. Too bad they never used Thrawn in the last 3 films. It would have been an incredible experience for older, and newer Star Wars fans.
@johnsmithjr.9321 Жыл бұрын
I think it would have went better than Disney would expect too, it's more interesting because the villain is far more cunning than the First Order, Sith Wannabes, and all that - plus the wildcard in the unhinged cloned Jedi experiment. Instead Disney adapted the whole 'Emperor is back' thing which felt half-baked (they only partially adapted the Emperor Reborn, but it's still definitely my least favorite EU thing). Plus Daisy Ridley would have been an amazing role for the eventual Jaina Solo as the follow-up to these. Additionally the cast of new characters are all incredible additions: Mara Jade, Talon Karrde, Winter Celchu, Palleon, and more. The major problem was really timing however, i.e. the actors had all aged. Either they would have needed to use digital de-aging to fit the Thrawn timeline, or create an animated series 'Thrawn Trilogy' that would then bridge into a "New Jedi Order" trilogy in live-action with Jaina Solo played by Daisy Ridley. And in THAT movie trilogy, they could have used the Yuuzhan Vong, the scariest villains ever created in Star Wars.

love this. If I had one criticsm, the Chimera was a mk II Imperial Star Destroyer, and the model you used was Mk I, but that is such a small detail against the excellence of everything else. Brings me back to the 90's when I first got introduced to the "EU".....before the dark times.....before disney.

This model had the best balance of quality and performance for the animation software. Others I found were either too basic, or so high poly that the software struggled to do anything with them.

@@ismhmr Some voice acting stands out in a bad way. Mon Mothma for example, not only her voice actress sounds a bit lifeless but the volume of her dialogue is lower than the volume of the rest of the cast. Nobody expects perfection from a project like this but we can't pretend that it's perfect either.

I haven't commented on a KZfaq video in a couple years but I had to login just to say this is amazing. This was my favorite audiobook decades ago, I listened to it everyday, and I've always had to imagine what it would look like. And to see a word for word reproduction of the audiobook done soooo exceptionally well, there aren't the right words to give proper credit to just how freaking awesome this is. I actually signed up for a KZfaq premium trial just so I could download it properly. Your passion for this comes through in this art. Well done, well made, keep up the great work, and I hope to see more from you!

There is simply no words to describe how brilliant this is. This has been so well thought out and perfectly executed. The characters look brilliant and for the most part the voice acting it on point. Thrawn is one of my favourite Star Wars characters, and this makes him seem as he should - frightening, striking and most of all very intelligent. I simply cannot thank the creator(s) of this enough for the phenomenal job they have done creating this. Thank you.
@ferdinandhumperdinck165 9 ай бұрын

First off I absolutely love this!! I’m hearing a lot of people criticize the voice acting and my knee jerk reaction to that is they must not have seen many independent passion projects because holy crap this is miles above most other youtube channels voice work. Sure Leia says Kashyyyk the wrong way but have y'all seen, say Star Wars Theory’s Vader fan film? The Thrawn delivery is better than what I heard in Rebels and the C'baoth voice actor (sorry I’m blind and can't see the credits, you know who you are) nailed the grandpa Jedi narcicist perfectly. Well f****** done!!

This is incredible, while it has been years since I read the Zahn trilogy, it is so remarkable it brought back those memories in an instant. Very well done. Two things though, 1 the character movements do seem a little wooden, but not enough to detract from the story in the least. 2 Leia's voice is a little off from Carrie's, but again not enough to detract from the character. Han and Lando sound almost exactly like Harrison and Billy, well done. Aside from these two minor points, this was amazing, I am highly impressed. The depiction of Thrawn ratchets up his creep factor as well, and makes him truly a sinister archnemesis for this trilogy. Not much could truly rattle the man, and you've depicted that beautifully. Overall this is what Star Wars was meant to be, thank you
