Bruh Palpatine on the speakers gives me chills. This was insane, man, amazing work! Also really cool job with the animation being digital with it nearly tricking me into thinking its stopmotion!
@@spugesdu dude it’s so great to hear from you. your old videos impacted so many of us. I’m so old now man married with kids but I owe you for my childhood!! I’m gonna make my kids watch your videos if they end up liking legos and star wars like I did. Hope you are doing well my man.
Came back to this years later after being dissatisfied with the way Republic Commandos were portrayed in the Bad Batch show. This is legitimately one of the greatest, most tragic and moving portrayals of the Dark Times that I've seen put to film, on similar levels to Andor. Karen Traviss would be proud.
Scrolled down to the bottom of my favorites list and found this gem waiting to be unearthed. I've discovered that, 15 years on, if I hadn't ended up building real spacecraft as a career, I would probably have been an animator, with lego star wars animations like these to thank for it. Amazing work that holds up, even now.
wow. 15 years has ever felt shorter since rewatching this. I was turning 10 right around when this video dropped. Like many of us, massive star wars + lego fans, I would say this movie put lego stop motion on the map. CCA had the coolest figs. You guys definitely inspired me and plenty of others. Keep doing what youre doing.
Omg, I used to watch this video over and over again, it was awesome for me and I took a lot of ideas from it. I'm 24 years old now, and rewatching this is like going back in time, I can remember what I felt watching it as a kid. Almost makes me cry, time flies.
Absolute classic for eternity. Reading so many different but similar experiences. This movie introduced so many people into brickfilms, custom clones/cac, filmmaking/storytelling in general, someone else said it perfectly in calling this film “pure creativity”. I’ll never be able to forget what these film meant and means to me
This is where it started for me on youtube (I made my channel in 2008). Now it pops back up in my recommended after all these years. Thanks for this masterpiece Gareth!
Ya know, looking back at this, I'm so happy Squad 42 didn't end like this. The sequel was different but fantastic. That said, I can't help but look back at these clips though and think there really was something here. The cinematography and old style lego was just peak. Squad 42 was emblematic of an era on RU-vid, and it's one I so wish we could get back to sometimes. Thanks for the nostalgia and the memories!
