A small space convoy of rebel transport ships and snubfighter escorts is enroute for Hoth, seeking to bring desperately needed supplies and reinforcements to the rebel base...
Thank you for watching Ambush at Derra IV - A Star Wars Fan Film! After so many setbacks and delays, I've finally finished it. This one is a bit unique to my channel in that it's not a part of the "Remnant" series - it's more a "prequel" to The Empire Strikes Back. Essentially, I was looking for ways to practice more character animation, so I decided to adapt the beginning of the Empire Strikes Back radio drama. I found these two scenes to be right up my alley, as it features a space battle, and then a relatively simple scene of two characters conversing.

QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE Where’s the audio from? The audio is actually from the 1983 radio drama adaptation of The Empire Strikes Back. I did some minimal editing to take out a certain part, and added some additional sound effects, but the writing, direction, and voice acting is all from the 80s! If you liked this, make sure to check out the original radio dramas! They’re all on RU-vid. Are you going to adapt any more of the radio dramas? Probably not. This was a rather unique scenario where I wanted to test out character animation, and these two scenes fit the bill perfectly: a space battle (kinda, you know, my thing) and then two people talking. I also didn’t want to have any big name characters in the scene, and the only character in this that is actually in the movies is Captain Needa (one of the guys that gets choked out by Darth Vader in ESB). How long did it take to do this? Roughly six months - six long, brutal months, with a lot of breaks in-between. What software do you use? A combination of: Blender (animation, rendering) Reallusion’s Character Creator and iClone (character creation and animation), Substance Painter (texturing), Adobe After Effects (color grading and additional effects), and Adobe Premiere Pro (assembly, editing, and sound design).

@xxnightdriverxx9576 Год назад

This is also how many, many engagements would have gone for the rebellion. The victories we see on screen are rare exceptions, not the norm.

@timonsolus Год назад

@@xxnightdriverxx9576 : Untrue. The Ambush at Derra IV was planned by Grand Admiral Thrawn (although Lord Vader presented the plan and took all the credit). This was definitely not the norm.

@kn3448 Год назад

@timonsolus Actually it WAS the norm. Until the battle of Endor, rebel forces were scattered and disorganised, particularly after the panicked evacuation of Yavin 4 and the Empire's reinvigorated effort to destroy the rebellion after the destruction of the first Death Star. During the tenure of The Empire Strikes Back and the preceding years, we see a rebellion broken by combat, scarce in resources and very much on the brink of defeat. I don't know what source material you're using but it's probably from the more modern take which presents the rebels as never-go-wrong perfect warriors instead of exhausted, desperate freedom fighters and the Galactic Empire as an incompetent, useless bunch of morons who don't even know how to operate their own hardware instead of a terrifying totalitarian dictatorship. God I hate modern Star Wars!

I mean, I haven’t read legends but they’ve stayed the same since the old movies, some are more radical (Saw, Luthen) and the rest are less militant, no one in Star Wars is perfect, and the empire isn’t portrayed as incompetent, I’d love to see where you think that is shown

The empire was always ‘I want to rule the galaxy because I’m a sith. Now I’m going to blast you with lightning’. Vader gets redemption, but none of the others do at all. I never saw that nuance in the originals - in fact, the sequels do it a lot better with Luke being flawed and kylo being redeemed…

I am a huge fan of you and your work already but I cant share this video enough! You truly are one of the best Star Wars content creators on RU-vid. There are several people who already couldnt come close to your star fighting shorts! But you have just given the fandom something special with this one! ESB is the greatest SW movie ever made! You just made an addition to it that makes it even better! I had no idea there even was a radio drama and Im a huge SW fan from the OG era! But this captures perfectly just how much the Rebel Alliance was in deep dire straights despite the Death Star being gone! They awoke the wrath of the Sith! But it also gives us that great little added Captain Needa lore and detail how Vader already knew Luke was his and wanted the ship that ruined his victory that day! I share this anywhere and everywhere I can on Social Media and RU-vid! Keep it up please! We dont deserve the amazing content you gift us but definitely want as much as we can get! Thank you for all of it!

I've always loved the Empire Strikes Back radio dramas. Well, all three of them, TBH. Seeing this opening was truly remarkable! Thanks for an enjoyable short! I'm adding this to my SW playlist!
