Absolutely love when Star Wars fan filmmakers say fuck it and just use the actual Star Wars soundtrack not caring about copyright claims. Love all the mixing and track choices!

[AndrewDFT]

Nailed the original trilogy vibe in this! Great work =)

[QuantumNova]

I didn't expect the graphics to look that good. Wow. Rainy Yavin is best Yavin.

[stevethomas]

Love the mix from the New Hope soundtrack to the Empire Strikes Back soundtrack. Very well done.

[Cybermat]

Awesome work!

The idea of being a rebel prisoner when Vader is angrier than usual and wanting to lash out is genuinely terrifying.

[leethompson]

Vader seems more terrifying when he doesn't say much. Great vid

[EnemyAce]

Love It! Animation is incredible!

Remember, poor General Dodonna was captured in the evacuation of Yavin and sent to Lusankya, where he would stay for over 7 years until Rogue Squadron finally found him.

Learned of this fan film through Dave Cullen. He said, I'm paraphrasing, "fan films are much more authentic then anything coming from LucasFilm at the moment." It's because fan filmmakers love Star Wars; current LucasFilm does not.

Vader coming back for revenge is great, Always loved that starting mission from Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike where the Empire launches a massive assault on Yavin in the aftermath.

This looks incredible. From the visuals, camera angles and the secret sauce for anything star wars related… the sound. A huge congratulations on the making of this film.

"IMPRESSIVE, MOST IMPRESSIVE!" ❤ DARTH....Well done, MORE PLEASE!

[SSJLINK]

I can’t remember the last time I watched something like this that FELT like Star Wars. This was outstanding. Amazing work!

[tovarco]

Wow....wow....more please. This is what Star Wars should be.

[DougBull-jovc]

Star wars isn't dead.We don't need Disney for content when fans keep making short films

[dtuk]

Good ....GOOD, You've done well my friend. 👍

[misterjohn]

Great idea, great execution!
Can’t get enough classic OT.

[Ty-]

This is great, definitely a big improvement compared to your last two projects.

[SkyStarNova]

Epic! I can see this taking place during the end of the first original comics run arcs, when the Yavin base was being evacuated.

[wymbolt]

Everything here is great, but what really stands out to me is the choice in music and the way you weaved it into the events being displayed on screen. Absolutely fantastic!

[HLRth]

Outstanding! The music intergration with the action was spot on. I loved Yavin at night/in a storm. Most impressive!
