Days Past - A Star Wars Fan Film 

All that you said was true.

I totally agree. One of my many favorite moments of the film. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it! Spread the word!

@@shirleyjordan4998 Nicely done. As a fan since 1977, thank you for continuing my journey through the SW Universe. Remarkable work!!

@@shirleyjordan4998 fantastic job with your acting. This was awesome. It was sad, but had so much story and emotion. Just amazing.

Aviel Mann Ballo .. and not in a forrest for a change! Loving it too!

And no big group of people who all wanted to play the jedi and swing a light saber

Watch ( Birth of a monster | a star wars story). That's a decent fan made film

A lot if not most star wars fan films are pretty good ofc the acting isn't great and costume design isn't ground breaking they run on a shoe string budget but you can obviously tell they're just kids wanting to fulfill their imagination they just want to make the story they never got to see no need to put them down

@General Grievous you sure it isn't cuz you replied needlessly aggressive but whatever dude have a nice day

Lucas would hate these there are no potential to toys to sell to children. Emotions and stuff no cgi.

_"They all reley on cheesy light saber moments and everyone is a legendary Jedi.."_ Well, clearly you haven't watched too many if that's all you've encountered.

@@DorimiPrism No, I think Justin's assessment is pretty much spot on. Unless you're a shut in and this is all you do. Easily 80-85% of fan films involve Jedi and Sith and tests and betrayal and it gets pretty repetitive. There are some really amazing ones, so it's not entirely bad, but it does seem to make up a large percentage.

@@tylerskiss I'm sorry but that's just not true, and you telling me this just as *Birth of a Monster* is blowing up doesn't really help your argument. I think the notion of _"Most Star Wars fan films are about light saber fights"_ is a pretty dated one. There's *Bucketheads* , *Odyssey* , *A Smugler's Trade* , *REBELBASE* , *Stormtroopers* , *REBEL SCUM* , *The Lost Patrol* , *TK-436* , *The Lost Starfighter* , *Tie Fighter* (Animated), *Jakku First Wave* and many more. If you think _"All Star Wars fan films are about light saber fights"_ then you just haven't watched enough of them. It's false that _"About 80% of them are about Sith and Jedi"_ and it makes me sad that you would fall for that old myth about Star Wars movies. On the other hand, it makes me happy to encourage you to watch my suggestions, because you'll find out there's a lot of love for stories about rebel soldiers, pilots, stormtroopers and recently a monster on a desert planet. They're made with so much love and passion, and saying all fan films are _"Sith/Jedi fights"_ is doing a disservice to the community and those amazing films that have nothing to do with them. Look em up on your own time and I sincerely hope you'll enjoy them :)

@@DorimiPrism BoaM has sweet fa to do with my argument (for lack of a better word). I can just point to observational statistics: flip through a bunch of SW FanFilms on RU-vid at random and if you are honest with yourself, you'll notice the breakdown of the videos slants heavily toward the lightsaber fights over the more unique stories. Is there a chance your statistics will come up with an anomaly? Of course, but I just did it with 10 videos right now and every single video I got in this particular chain had a lightsaber duel as its main showcase. I think an important detail to point out is I don't consider it a problem in any way. Heck, one of the videos I saw had amazing fight choreography. The quality of the FanFilms I'm seeing here is pretty amazing!

Thank you! Hopefully one day!

@William Patterson the Darth Maul fan film and SWT's Vader Shards of the past are both brilliant for what they are… I.M.P.S., Scout, sooo many good ones... but this one… your wording was perfect!!!! "...has a particular uniqueness to it."

Cool, perhaps it can stand as an open expansion to build more on...

everything is par excellence. the director of photography deserves major kudos also!

Better than the cheap Vader/Maul ones, for damn sure.

Thank you! Hopefully Disney will see it, too!

You nailed it damn well ! I did not want it to end, and i wanted to be a part of it!

Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words.

It's good to know that I am not the only one that watches fan films as part of a Star Wars binge.

And we're glad that you do! Thanks! @@avengers2478

Pangaea Writer Because it follows a simple rule: Without a story, there is nothing to it.

I know these videos kick ass... can I be an actor in one

The Empire's villains weren't always so bad.

I mean... have you watched Tie Fighter, First Wave or Bucketheads? You clearly haven't watched enough good fan films.

As long as they keep the ideological conflict theme going it´ll help star wars maintain it´s identity

@@DorimiPrism I enjoyed Lost Squadron as well.

Exactly. Substance, not flashy special effects. Believable plots/ characters drive a movie, not the glossy wrapping.. something Disney has missed on lately. Pandering isn't plotting a story arc. RIP Star Wars.

Nick Desautels thank you for watching!

Gibberidude thank you!

I agree.

Just about the only one I've ever seen that's not a setup for a lightsaber duel in the woods. Nice.

UOU

Gibberidude same

I so appreciate it! Thank you.

Slav Tino Thank you very much! That's exactly what we were going for and we really appreciate your thoughts!

I just went on a trip with all of my star wars books rain rain it got into my tent the water was till my knees when i realised fuck my books are destroyed

Tt Tt thank you!

Thank you! It was a lot of great people coming together. Not enough can be said about how great our actors were! They were amazing.

I just don't get it . It was an amazing fan film that seems to come from the heart . I can't say the same thing for Disney , they can't get anything right and you do it for probably next to nothing . Excellent work .

Haha, such a rediculous comment

@@BarbRogersMs.SolarTerror If there is any one movie that I do think Disney did right and proper, it was Rogue One...which is, as someone who has loved Star Wars since he was a kid in 1977, my all time favorite Star Wars movie.

@@martok2112 R.I.P the wonderful woman who led that project.

It was made by one of our actresses! The actress at the top of the film who I hug just before they run off.

Love the way you think!

manko 88 thank you so much!

We agree, Shirley is incredible!

Thank you! I appreciate it!

I liked them both and is it just me or does Laim Cronin kind of resemble Grant Gustin form the Flash

Steven Espinoza I think he very much resembles Kevin Bacon.

Shirley Jordan: You are brilliant. It's the first fan film I've seen with 10/10 acting and 10/10 script-writing. It's the first time I've had an emotional reaction to Star Wars since 'order 66' was executed in Revenge of the Sith. You literally are a new hope. My hope is that Star Wars will be forked. Let Disney continue with their version of the franchise and let the fans go forward with theirs. I would love to see more of your character ...somehow. Anyway, again... just brilliant. This film has affected me and I'll be thinking about it for a long time. Thank you!

Due to current movie costs for a ticket, I will pay double the cost of a movie ticket to see this as a stage play.

Thank you!

Arron and his crew were pretty amazing, to say the least. It was pure joy to work with them.

So spread it to the people you know. Especially with what Disney's done with the series lately. >(

Wtf? Are you serious? The transformation of anakin as a small slave boy to Darth Vader? And this film? No one developed... The lady stayed the same way the whole time and so did the guy. Your comment is disrespectful to Star Wars as a whole....

I love to do it! Thanks, Jesse!

Thank you so much!

why was this made? , an , more importantly; is their nothing else?

We all thank you for your insight! it was truly a labor of love, sweat, and tears.

Thank you so much!

That actor had the perfect emotions and subtle facial movement to convey exactly what he needed to convey, Jesus Christ where did you find that actor? He should be in a lead supporting actor in a major big budget film already!

Jim Lianos 👍👏👍 100 💯 as an aspiring writer myself

Much appreciated!

Lisa winn thank you so much!

Note: The importance of *story*. A story told simply and quickly, yet completely.

rebels is before rogue one

I put Solo in there after episode 3.

You're going to have to work in Vader: Shards of the past

....you included the sequels?

The Last Jedi ??? its not good enough to be on the list at all.

Thanks, Eric! We appreciate it!

Thank you for your kind words dixee6. So glad you enjoyed our film. Believe me, the talent behind the scenes was even more spectacular! And I so enjoyed working with Liam and Aaron. I hope we do many more!!

...because this director, writer and editor actually cares about Star Wars, it's lore and the Star Wars fans. Rian Johnson, J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy don't care about Star Wars lore and definitely don't care about Star Wars fans. To them Star Wars is a joke.

ANY development and emotion is more than was in The Last Jedi.

fuck off

Because this is made to tell an original fresh story that fits in the Star Wars universe. *The Last Jedi* is an expensive fan fiction that distorts the Star Wars universe just to fit with the twisted story of the director.

Trim Prism Oh shut the fuck up it was a great Star Wars movie.

Many thanks!

Maybe the 3rd sun was an early rising moon.....

M. Strain Jr. : Yes, I noticed three suns, perhaps want to establish this wasn't Tattoonin.

Beerenmüsli Do you see any correlation between fantasy Empire and real USA Armed Forces?

Thank you, Bridgette!

Absolutely! Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you who really did a great job ! You and all the team can be very proud of yourselves !

Damn must be good for you invoke a recommendation and a command to watch it..

Shnickers123 thank you!!

Dustywitch thank you!

Many thanks!

This wasn't legit?

Director's cameo. LOL

Lane Gallistel I think they included animal because she mentions creature not native to planet, but learned to adapt just as she changed from Imperial officer to collaborater of the rebellion.

Appreciate it! Pass it along!
