Flight of the Valiant - A Star Wars: Remnant Fan Film

The Pelta-class cruiser Valiant is relentlessly hunted by an Imperial Incursor-class cruiser. Can our heroes escape before they're destroyed?

Thank you for watching Flight of the Valiant! This is part of Remnant: A Star Wars Fan Series, which is meant to tell a classic Empire vs. Rebels story through a series of small vignettes, mainly space battles and lore videos.

If you like this and the previous videos I've done, be sure to subscribe and share with your friends. It really helps me out, and encourages me to do more of this!

Here are some of the incredible modelers and artists that have helped and will bring this series to life. Check them out!

Here are the voice actors featured in this scene:

It's very rare to see the Empire win against something since everyone has plot armor, I was really happy to see this.

Saw this on Eckhart's Ladder; quality workmanship

[phillipmorel]

This is how most Imperial- Rebel encounters actualy ended.

[Duchess_Van_Hoof]

This is a perfect example of the "Less is More" philosophy. There are three ships in the short film, and the remarkably small Star Destroyer is utterly terrifying and seems to be unstoppable and relentless. On a sidenote I was just about to check for Rebels footage to figure out how Peltas handled themselves in combat and this was a superior option. I do look forward to more of your work.

I love how you modeled the Star Destroyer after the original sketches. I haven’t seen that done before. It looks like one of those early 20th century battleships.

[medicentio]

In the wise word of our glorious leader, Darth Vader: "Most impressive".

[grondhero]

This is one of the very few fan films I've seen that actually shows the Empire winning. A pleasant surprise.

[jonahbreen]

Came from eckstoo, and was NOT disappointed. This is some of the best Star Wars content I have seen in years!

[ebiljebus]

0:16 I can't unhear "This is the friggin' Valiant!"

[gen.mayhem]

So much talent hidden in the SW community. I can’t imagine what would happen if all these people worked together

[Artrillious]

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.

Love how the tie bomber is so slow like it is in universe

[akocbibbo]

we are so starved for good quality star ship / space battle tv shows or movies...I wish we could see more fan driven / independent shows focused on the space battles/space ships

[nicgundy]

This is the cleanest digital dogfight fan film I've witnessed!!! Big props to the modelers!!

[dzeclectic]

Love seeing A-wing. My favorite ship. All the fighters felt like they were taking a leisurely cruise rather than a heart pounding dog fight.

[TerraStone]

Wow! Fantastic job, everything looks fantastic! How long did this take to create?

[triggerfingerstudios]

"Can anyone cover me?"
"NO! AND STOP ASKING!"

[TheRealBeef-odvv]

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 2:00 mark the starfighters disappear even though in the next scene they are fighting around the destroyer. Overall tho great animation!

[FarseerAnimation]

I appreciate that this Incursor class cruiser seems to be set up as a villain of your short films. I imagine in the third part we'll see a rebel force striking out against this vessel!
