THE LOST RELIC - A Star Wars Story | (2023) (Fan Film) 4K

The Lost Relic - A Star Wars fan film
"While the Rebellion celebrates its victory on the moon of Endor, the symbols of the imperial oppression are fading away. But one of them has survived..."

Many stories still remain untold in the vast universe created by George Lucas. Three years ago, we delved into one of the myths of our childhood and wanted to explore this universe further, which is loved by millions of fans. Creating an alternative story about the most iconic character of the saga is a thrilling adventure! We are proud to announce that today, we are presenting 'The Lost Relic - A Star Wars Story.'

Discover exclusive behind-the-scenes footages from our short film tribute to the Star Wars saga and the character of Darth Vader.

Hi everyone,
In this documentary, you'll find out all about our fan film from the script writing to the visual effects, going through the shooting 🎬

[rogueone]

Seriously, we live in time when fans make far better movies than big production studios xDD

[BuckeyeGuy]

The visuals for this short film are absolutely amazing. SO well done! Congratulations to all involved.

[rustybricks]

Gorgeous production, you guys should be so proud. This stands out as one of the prettiest fan productions I've ever seen. I love how restrained the script is. Lovely effects, charismatic actors. And you've done a lovely job uniquely framing your story. The archive bits are my favorite and obviously a labor of love. Super happy to be one of the first people to see it, hope it gets the exposure it deserves!

[ThirdGateProduction]

Wow! What a warm welcome for our short! Thank you all for your support. We didn't expect that, but SW community is definitely amazing! 🔥
Very glad that you love the narrative idea of The Lost Relic. Our purpose was to gather the different Star Wars periods, and also fans from all horizons, from the original to the sequel! We grew up with the prelogy that we loved as children, then we discovered originals that we loved too, and today, we enjoy a lot of Disney's creations like Andor, Mandalorian, and Rogue One. This last one inspired us a lot in our creative process for the Lost Relic. We loved the idea of filling a gap in the storytelling as Rogue One brilliantly did between III and IV.

Please note that we don't earn any money with this short (no crowdfunding or YouTube money), it's only made with our personal funds, as a hobby, from fans to other fans ✌

Star Wars is an infinite universe, and so many stories are still to be told!
Take care, and MTFBWY 🙏

Cool to see a backstory of how the Empire/First Order acquired the melted Vader Mask. Nicely done, thanks.

[stefanvedin]

The way you introduced these two lost relics
(the band itself, and then the content the band had; the mask itself), by:
1). actually starting from a relic context; an archive
2). tell a story about an actual relic
3). and then at the end tie the story together in the same archive ..

.. with the punchline to give the name of the relic in the inventory, the same name as the entire film itself!!
Girls and guys in production (inside and outside): Hats off to you all.

PS: Jean Cordier, I loved you from the very beginning 0:46

When a fan film is doing a better job than Disney! Loved it!

[elwynlevsen]

The music is INSANE!!!
It just feels the perfect connection of John Williams past and present.

[ericechols]

13:55 minutes of excellence. This by far was a very well made SW's, Fan short movie. I like the opening & ending with the employee working in the film department, who accidentally stumbles across an old movie film and views the missing footage of SW that director GL, supposedly cut out of SW's ROTJ part 6 and picks up in SW's The Force Awakens, part 7. Then titles the film, SW: The Lost Relic. We get to see how Kilo Ren got his Grandfathers distorted Vader mask. The actors even though short screen time nailed their performances, they were believable & interesting. This was SW, i consider this SW canon. Who needs Hollywood, when you have small independent movie teams, that can bring forth a movie better than the so called pros in today's modern entertainment industry. 😃👍

[christopherweber]

That was beyond geart ... The last 13 minutes are truly deserving of the word EPIC!!!
May the force be you.

[RichPufferfish]

Incredible work! Lots of humor and action combined into something great! Perfect backstory for Vader’s helmet and what happened to it. Keep up the amazing films and have a great day.

[paulnikolai]

This 13 minute short gave me more feeling for Star Wars then the last 100+ hours Disney has produced. Please continue.

[Moth-pzvg]

This is by far the best star wars fan film i have ever seen in my life.






When that imperial officer died, i cried for the first time because of an imperial.

I am so happy that the Force and the YouTube algorithm has lead me to this wonderful fan film. This is an amazing work of art.

[poodooFXTeam]

Chapeau !!! As I wrote on Facebook, this fan film touches me like no other so far! As a filmmaker, the attention to detail and the presentation of all the props hits me right in the heart and the visual effects could have come straight from the ILM forge. As a big fan of the making-ofs, the opening scene alone has me gushing! I take my hat off to Third Gate Production and express my deepest respect for them. And what a funny coincidence: We'll be at ComiC Con next weekend with our own booth, and it will look exactly like Your storage room. We even have some film canisters on display as decoration. I think I'll write "The Lost Relic" on one of the canisters with sticky tape, Easter eggs are great in real life too :-)

[larryblack]

This ties the stories together so well. I love it. This would make a great EXTRA on DVD. George, ya gotta come see this.

[judgeberry]

Superb! I love the canned film archive idea. Breaking the fourth wall made it feel like a story within a story. This is quite possibly the greatest Star Wars fan film ever made. Congrats! 🍾

[robelliott]

My goodness. Well done, international filmmakers!
Definitely the best lighting, graphics and storytelling I’ve seen in a fan film.

[creemccune]

I love the Luger being used as a blaster in regards to Han having a Mauser as his blaster 🤣
