ODYSSEY: A Star Wars Story (2018 Fan Film) 

Star Wars Theory Jealous much.

Star Wars Theory Hello There!

Now just waitin for yours 😉

Waiting for yours we are

Hello There!

I wonder how the Vader film will be like. He seems to rushed it and is giving WAY to many details about the process. So I hope he doesn't blow it.

You arr

A recruitment video.

@@Tigerman1138 A stinky recruitment video for the terrorist rebels

You are very generous indeed young padawan!

But a storm trooper actually hit a target?!?

i love how every fan agrees disney isnt canon unless its from dave and............. i cant remember both names lol.

@@rattyratstuff7125 it that really surprising?

I am the senate.

The thing is is that the Star Wars universe is infinite, therefore it could be canon and is canon, it probably happened without a movie.

It isn't Canon to me, it has the usual lazy plot of "Rebels good guys so they win!"

I really like the new movies, but yes, more fanfilms is an objective plus

Penny Wise: these guys do a better job then Disney that’s for sure 😂

I AM saying they’re better than the new movies.

No joke, as of this reply your comment has *66* likes 0_0

Hiring over hiring

HAHAHA, I totally agree. One of my favorite laugh at quotes from A New Hope..."These blast points... too accurate for Sand People. Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise."

Undoubtedly

och70 can we stop this meme please it’s not true. I’m a die hard Star Wars fan

Also they are apparently doing a honeybee waggle dance to show other troopers the location of rebel scum.

It’s almost like Lucasfilm (and now Disney) don’t want any of their key characters wounded or dead 🧐 but we need more deaths like han’s, it would make for much better and more meaningful movies - especially if we have an attachment to those characters eg chewie, R2

You think stormtroopers have bad aim? You should watch redtails. But honestly I know you dont see them hit much but it's still the most annoying joke about starwars

@@trentonretzer5105 I agree

Did you not watch the original films? They hit when they're told to. Stormtroopers having bad aim is a myth and a dead meme.

Jacob Beaver Same with guns in real life

Quinn Robinsson You try thinking of an original, meaningful quote. This genre is so saturated these days that it is difficult to generate something that isn’t, in any way, already a cliche. I thought it was a cool quote with a Star Wars spin.

@@quinnrobinsson1646, how does it at all do that?

Quinn Robinsson they liberated 2 hostages tho

@@busiestnebula5186, right? They made a point about showing that was beyond the scope of their mission. They could've left those people to die and slipped away with their whole team intact. But, they choose to liberate the civilians.

For sure the feels I got yeah

Ya I got that vibe. Felt a little more like a beach in Normandy to me tho.

Riah seems more like the Dieppe Raid to me.

Normandy boiiiii

Seems cool 2 me, does that work 2?

yeah it adds gravity to the scene makes it less of a YEE HAW! WAR IS FUN! scene. it should be serious people dying is serious

They got to make this movie

@@shannonroberts681 ok????

FUCHMAN 1 MILLION Do you realise how dumb you sound, star WARS. It has war in the name, the clone WARS tv show was so popular for its representation of the horrors of war and how they effect the soldier but made it appeal to both adults and kids. War is the most prominent theme in star WARS and the action adventure genre is built around it to appeal to kids.

It's not easy to make a fan film man. It takes a lot of money. So don't blame the people who can't afford to make an expensive fan film. And a "cheap" can still be great great. It's still a FAN Film. Not a hollywood film ;)

Well it's a professional fan film

Agreed very well done!

Its cannon imo

I was thinking that. This must have cost $50k or more. If any of them were paid it could easily be $300k

Imagine if they had 10 million

Why does it cost so much to make films, anyway? What rewards do such efforts reap?

@@nickter745thebold8 well its mostly to do with props and vfx, if you want to buy a stormtrooper outfit itll cost you allot of money, anywhere from 600-1000, and allot of the props are 3d printed which would also cost a fair amount, they would have to hire vfx artists to make sure the product is polished also. what reward do they get? they gain an audience and allot of the time they will be hired by high production teams

I noticed that, too :-)

Derek Martin ha good call!!

Lol I knew I heard it a true fan has a keen sense to the scream

I loved how they did it in a subtle way. I noticed it but it was not over the top obvious.

I didn't, it's annoying as hell and immediately takes me out of what I'm watching. Oh, the audio editor made a funny is not what I should be thinking when I'm trying to engage with a story. It's time for it to die.

"Remember Why We Fight" would've been a better tagline for EpVIII than "If you only believe in the Sun when it shines, you'll never make it through the night" or "We won't win by fighting what we hate but by saving what we love..."

@@ryanvanslyck888 fucking agree, the line from episode 8 were no sense and don't give any emotion

That rebel preferes random dude with son to his own unit? I mean... If he want his squad to be save and alive he wouldn't compromise it, so he actually don't want to safe it or what? This is just ridiculous. I get your point, but in terms of logic - this rebel got almost WHOLE squad KIA because he decided to save ONE fckn random dude.

@@vildanlatypov8696 The idea behind the quote is "We're not fighting for ourselves, our livelihoods, or our ideals; we fight for the people who dare to stand against evil." The point of the Rebellion was to speak for those who were silenced by the Empire, not to just conform to military standards of fraternity, but a more universal sense. Tactically it makes no sense, but the point of the video is to see it from a narrative sense

@@vildanlatypov8696 Plot twist; the guy he saved was a convicted serial rapist/killer.

Because fans of things know what other fans want to see. They also of the ideas of how things should be shown in ways fans want to see them.

_....Because fans _*_CARE_* _That's what makes them... _*_fans_* And Hollywood is nothing more than _"....a more wretched hive of scum and villainry"_

Nathan Johnson they haven’t got Disney as their overlord

Because in this creative project didn't take part things like ideology, political interests or Katheleen Kennedy. Is a film made by fans who loves and understand the heart of star wars and also made for fans, to excite and move feelings, no wallets and brains to their dark side.

they do it for the love of it, hollywood does it for the $$$$

consun it lays in the real meaning of amatour and professional

It lies in the true meaning of amateur and professional, I think you meant.

M. Brady Ratcliffe yup :-) thanks. Stuff happens when you don't have English as first language

@@eddardstark6554 damn still crying cos SW not going the way you want...no true fan would still be bitching about that

You guy really want every Star Wars movie to look like that. I give props to the people who made this but they don’t have the technology that lucasfilm has and can’t afford good actors. This must have been very hard to make but you guys will complain about anything that Star Wars puts out today. Right now I sick and tired of the hate that Star Wars fans are putting out. It’s ok to not like something but that doesn’t mean the company is trash and they need new management. It discourages me when I see people be like this

that is absolutely true, 100%

Yes.

Seems like a stretch.

@@runsoncaffeine in what way is it a stretch. They’re just saying they like this video more than the entirety of the completely disorganized sequels.

100% agree.

Was wondering when you'd comment shack.

Hey shack! XD

Hello captain

Captain on deck

I’m subscribed

Sergeant Cyro wait why wouldn’t they and how would you know

There are definitely scenes of actors pretending there is recoil, even in Ep4. When Han is shooting troopers before their escape from tatooine, or when chewie is blasting cameras in the detention level. Its inconsistent across the entire franchise really.

Sergeant Cyro There is always recoil on a weapon...

no, almost all the time han is shooting he just holds the blaster straight forward and the laser leaves the muzzle without moving the blaster. just check out the opening of ANH, when that very first rebel guy leans from his cover to blast the very first stormtrooper. his blaster aint moving a centimeter! some of them are, but just VERY VERY decent! almost non-visible!

In the original films, the blasters were often real guns firing blanks (you can even see ejected casings in some shots). A blank round has an incredibly soft, almost unnoticeable recoil. So from that alone, we might say that "canonically", blasters have soft to no recoil. But undeniably, we see blaster recoil on numerous occasions. Go back and watch the arena battle from Attack of the Clones. The blasters are kicking quite a bit there. I personally think the most responsible position to take is "some blasters seem to have no recoil, while others do."

That's been a running joke among the crew for a while. Who knows? ;)

Not by a longshot, but in terms of looks and fidelity yes

What would you say the best Star Wars fan films are?

When it came to the stormtroopers and shoretrooper gear it looked like it came right from the Lucasfilm costume department, But this was really awesome, just wish it was longer.

The costumes and props were fantastic!

Yes, I'd love to see a fan film with a nova trooper in action in the future and another one that is about a squad of stormcommandos. SFM Star Wars has shown us a fan film with a stormtrooper commander and seeing a fan film with an imperial shock trooper or two would also be golden.

NPCs-SJW destroyed Star Wars: Although it is a matter of opinion regardless, Star Wars doesn’t need saving. A disgruntled and vocal fanbase isn’t going to be it’s demise. There is plenty of upcoming content to choose from. To say none of it holds good prospect defeats the purpose of identifying as a Star Wars fan. There is content for everyone; people just need to be willing to find it within the immense franchise.

NPCs-SJW destroyed Star Wars They’re humans too. It’d be foolish to think they have heard none of the hundreds of thousands of insults hurled at them by fans, the people they created Star Wars content for. Said content is well-intended (if not generally accepted as quality material), and, yes, the movies are products designed to generate profit because Lucasfilm is still a company as it was before the Disney acquirement. Money-making is a valid motive that should not be criminalized. I’d be a bit bitter too and probably ignore much of what “fans” had to say about me (not to say I would not consider feedback). As for Solo, I think it unfairly suffered TLJ backlash. It was simply too soon after that movie and, for whatever reason, “fans” felt justified in boycotting the movie out of resentment for TLJ even though they are two different projects in their own rites. Sure, they sent a sour message to Lucasfilm, but at the expense of what was, in my opinion, an excellent Star Wars film. Not to mention that, because of the Solo boycott and underperformance, the Boba Fett movie is dead. Yea, that sure helped the franchise... Anyways, I went on a bit of tangent, but I hope you get my point(s).

This is like a a narrated trailer that the narrator went on a jack black solo and wouldn’t shut up lol

Lucasfilm wants to keep making their SJW crap

Why so we can get another just was

Per IMDB, around Ft Fremont, SC

Jack Russell more like skarif but ok

Jack Russell a are you sure about that

@Jack Russell That might have added a tad to the budget, but worth it! ;)

kevjen69 I thought it looked like carolina shores

No, it's too real to be propaganda, and judging by the MC80'S this is after Alderaan 'disappeared'.

@@AudieHolland Silence, you traitor to the Republic!

Shhhhhhhhh, shut the fuck up and please enjoy the Fan Film.

^^ ...Yea, and now one of my all time favorites!

Corey Patton can’t be a traitor to the Republic they lawfully voted to become the Empire, it’s the Terrorist scum that is trying to bring down the recognized legal government of the systems

I know right

Travis248 these are rebellion troops and the last jedi is the resistance.

Real Darth Revan yes but no other Star Wars movie has a militaristic approach like Rogue One’s, whose style is mirrored in this fantastic film.

@@thomasjefferson2813 What's the difference? Same concept

Sorry .. but if you truly think that, then SW is all pew pew to you it seems ... nice fanfic, but I am glad SW is NOT made by fans ...

Odyseey was their squad name.

TroyHurricane correct, but a different squad name would have fit better. Symbolism is what he is going for.

Yeah, and a direct reference to legendary Greek literature in a Star Wars universe is definitely misplaced. The only way to justify it would be to suggest that the relatively recent and terrestrial Homer named Odysseus after ancient, alien Star Wars lore. Otherwise, it's about as awkward as Luke quoting Shakespeare. Again, not a big deal in a fan film. Just something to remember when considering similar details in future projects.

Robin L. Sumlin I had honestly wished it was a short adventure story that lasted years. I liked it a lot, sure. But did it divert my expectations? Almost entirely. That's not a bad thing in all cases, but this one I feel it was.

Can’t “Odyssey” refer to the cause as a whole? Not just this one mission?

Lol they should have all been dead when they ran through the forest and the beach scene did you notice how many shots they missed before they actually hit something

They will

How the f would you aim Sith 2 eyes

@@BiggestAnimanFan9 Hence the need for training, lol

Same

Yeah me too

Are they making it a fr movie because that's what the ad said?

grand admiral thrawn same man

Me too

I think it will be a good movie on them

You know, it was made by fans sooo

Check out TROOPS, the classic fan film from back in the 90's, basically COPS but with Stormtroopers. The team that made it would go on to make IMPS: The Relentless, of which there are currently 3 episodes released. Both of these are heavily focused on the Imperial Stormtroopers. In addition, this fanfilm came out earlier this year and while not as good, is still pretty decent and Stormtrooper oriented. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jHUKHpnRo_s.html

Also IMPS both seasons

Storm Troopers can't see anything. Besides, the targets their blasters hit sum up all we need to know. (Kindof) ^____^

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2GdEXQ6Ulw8.html A Stormtrooper Story. Haven't seen it in a while, but if I remember correctly, it's pretty poignant.

I was thinking the same thing the whole time.

The Veit Nam feeling was also well done.

He REALLY wanted to shoot some rebel scum.

Agree with you. I am personally tired of Jedis and Siths, I think a movie about the ground infantry could be way more interesting and would be more original. Also, it would be something completely new.

@@haltocarrick5504 Yup, I found them a bit tedious by now, even if I love lightsable battles. The EU also offers lots of amazing setting for good stories (I personally love the underground sectors of Coruscant).

Well said

IT'S AWESOME *

Same!

Agreed. The Rebellion defeated the Empire and then boom, The First Order comes up, which is almost literally "the Empire 2" and the Resistance comes up which is "The Rebellion 2". There is no difference between the two i wish they just kept the names.

The ST plot is stupid and the worst Star Wars plot so far lore wise. They should have kept the New Republic, shown the new Jedi order, had Snoke lead a new Sith order, had more charismatic villians, had cooler technological aspects (active camo, jetpacks, seismic charges, ion cannons, quad turbolasers, etc), exotoc creatures, and more cool local factions and races. I'd also love to see new cool futuristic sports (remember pod and swoop racing). I'd love to see a speeder bike race, space race with multiple starships, star wars duels, arena free for all battles, star wars simulated team vs team maze shoot outs (set to stun) and star wars mma fights. I'd also like to see more new iconic cities and planets. I felt like Bespin, Coruscant, and the Prequels had many iconic planets that stood out. I enjoy Scariff in RO and Umbara in TCW as other iconic planets. I want to see more imperial special forces. Including a film about a squad of shadow troopers, a film about an imperial guard, a graphic novel about a squad of death troopers, and a video game about a squad of stormcommandos. I'd also like to see Rebel Spec Force marines, Rebel Assault Troopers, and Rebel Guerillas to return to cannon. I would love to see a pair of rebel honor guards in action in one of the Star Wars shows. This is why we need a larger variety of spinoff stories of Jedi, sith, soldiers, detectives, Senate commandos, main characters, side characters, smugglers, spies, and bounty hunters. But the one thing Star Wars needs to do now is alternate between eras. The AT should alternate between the PT, OT, and Old Republic era films. They should make no two films from the exact same era. Remember that the Old Republic could have 10 different timelines within it with various novels, character spin offs, video games, and films that can be used for each era. We could have fans of various eras, characters from each era, star wars would have something for everyone, and would bring many new fans to the franchise. The only catch is that Disney needs to chill with the over the top political messages.

@GreenLanternSalem Movies are movies and games are games. If they had mysteriously made a good Jedi Knight movie, you'd have hardly recognised the plot based on the game. If they had made a typical Hollywood style Jedi Knight movie, you might have recognised it better, but it would have sucked beyond belief. Just making a movie based on a novel is hard enough, making one based on a game is extremely difficult. The technical demands for making a game a successful experience are different from a movie. Looking at the new movies, I'd have had about 0.5% trust in Disney pulling it off.

Hoping you come back in future star wars adaptations. Asking for thrawn and cadet novel for Christmas lll

Lol

Oh yeah well I've been waiting for 40 years for them to give us a slice-of-life film about the trials and tribulations of working musicians trying to make a living and hold a band together in a galactic old west setting like Mos Eisley or something similar. So how about you get in line..

Ever heard of WW2? Maybe you'll like movies about that then. None of this fancy schmancy spaceships and laserswords and magic powers... pffft!

I recommend reading the novels then. Heck, even the comics.

right? a star wars film that covers the infantry aspect of the war

I own quite a few of the comics and most of the EU novels from the late 90s

Parson of Interest that ultimately is the conflict of Quinn’s character. Yes, it was the wrong move, but he’s new. He’s emotional and he’s still fighting his inner purpose for being there. The ultimate responsibility of a soldier is to put your emotions behind you and act according to orders. Quinn, who’s new to all of this and solely on the mission for a specific tech purpose, has yet to accept that responsibility.

@@MAVMaking Sorry, I missed the point of the film after he messed up, and went straight to the comments to rant about his decision. My apologies

@@MAVMaking Holy Mary mother of Christ. Nuance! It's as rare as skilled stormtroopers. Good job

@@MAVMaking oh shit ok, well said

Galleos I like the Death Troopers, they are an intimidating unit that has awesome armor

i like all the 1000 types of Troopers that is there Idc

Yeah, that shore trooper armour is lit

Purge troopers from Fallen Order and Imperial Shock Trpopers from BF2015 were dope. I like Inferno Squar

@John mark Ogayon No one cares about the Rebellion.

They sound make this movie

They spent 2 years on this and starwars theory is spending like 6 months in total
