Now, it wouldn't be Star Wars unless you have a motley crew. You have Taryn's sister Reaux, who is gifted with visions, Declan, the Han Solo like rogue, and Cade a warrior who is a man of his word. There is also an elaborate space battle, and an impressive lightsaber battle.
This is not a perfect film, some of the acting is not that great, some effects not that convincing. But the one thing that this does have is heart, the enthusiasm that runs through makes you forget about the bad. It is an amazing work that a lot of people put their heart and soul into it. It is that which really sells the film.
The crew has done a great job of placing this within the established universe, while at the same time creating something original. There is some very good work to create new landscapes and worlds. Inventive work to give us new ship designs and crafting an exciting lightsaber battle.
Then there is the second disk, an hour and a half of behind the scenes footage. There are interviews and unfinished footage. We get as look at many aspects of the production, from what model cameras were used, to the software for the computer effects, the layering used to create the landscapes, the costuming, it coves it all.
It is a wonderful set, and to top it off, it is being freely distributed. I can't give these guys enough credit for what they have succeeded in creating here. Any fan of Star Wars, or even just a fan of independent cinema, actually any of you. Go on over to the site and download it.
Highly Recommended.

Great stuff Chris. I downloaded this a couple nights ago, but ain't got round to it yet. Lookin forward to it, though, more so after your review.

Thanks, it is definitely worth watching. You can feel the enthusiasm and that more than makes up for being low budget, if you believe in what you are doing you can convey that feeling to others.
I hope you like it!
The DVD images are great.

Well, I'm a french SW Fan, a pure OT Fan and an As of EU - NJO. I've seen Revelations just before ROTS and I'm so glad. Glad to see this "Chef d'Oeuvre" (french term). I've seen it 4 times yet. It's magnifique, so closed with EU and OT atmospher. Actresses and Actors are very very good. Animations anf Art effects are so remarquable. I'm really proud of all people who made the movie. I give the link at my friends and other french fans.. And they all enjoyed and had a good time.
Really, guys, it's with people like you that Fans are proud and happy to be fans !
