Trial of the Fallen Jedi - A Star Wars Fan Film 

You do realize that SW takes place in the past right?

Thank you Andy. Appreciate the kind words. Wish we could have done more with it, but the budget, which was essentially zero, only goes so far!

Jake, thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. We learned a lot from the experience and will endeavor to make the next one even better!

Michael, thank you so much for the kind words! Always reinvigorating to find folks that enjoy the work and appreciate the love and care put into these fan films! May the force be with you!

Thank you Alex. Andrew was a special person, the biggest Star Wars fan I’d ever met. Even though we didn’t have a chance to make this film together, I hope he was able to watch it, wherever he is...

@@RedJacketFilms Thank you for the reply! :) I know I’m a year late, but I’m definitely sure he’d be proud!

I liked that. Kit Fisto vibe

Kit Fisto vibe

KIt Fisto would be proud and smiling.

I didn’t like the shipping containers that being said I understand budget issues and using resources you had at hand but saving a lil more for the movie to correct/ accurate landscapes would have increased the experience tenfold other than some of the landscapes I enjoyed it and the story and yea kit fisto vibes ....did a better job than I could have at all so yea just saying not hating lol just some advice I believe would boost overall quality and make it more enjoyable

The arrogance of the Jedi Order is the peeve of all aspiring young Sith.

No way, Disney would chew'em up and spit'em out! They have creative freedom and story accuracy this way. They just need producers and sales pr.

LOL

Acidic Dopamine another fan film better than Disney

No we don't we need him working on his own stuff Disney doesn't deserve anymore of our money

Mic Thank you so much for the kind words and support! I like to think so too! 🙂

I hate to disagree with you because you might be cute but I must disagree my lady

Some Jedi viewed cybernetics as sacrilege

in the Legacy comics Wolf Zazen had one arm.

Really depends on the Jedi and their views. He could’ve felt he let his emotions dictate a fight, and get the better of him. Where he felt not replacing it to leave a reminder for him to not let emotions guide his path or his battles.

Yeah I agree. A jedi should choose whether to have robotic limbs or not. Also, I think a blind jedi would also be powerful legit.

They have spaceships, so yes, always.

Jay Moore you are correct! Nice catch! We did create ZeDe4 as a loving tribute to J.J.’s Bad Robot.

were x-wings or anything like them even around in the old republic ?

Thank you Chandler! We just took a photo of the finished lightsaber and cropped it into a dozen small photos and individually animated each one. The crystal was also a photo of the same crystal Dai uses throughout the film. A 3D saber would have been ideal, but we didn’t have an advanced animator for the project. As for suggestions, I’d say do your best to find locations that are exotic or outlandish, places you rarely see. It’s a difficult task, but I think it’s one of the main complaints I see from SW fans. As for the dialogue, keep it short and sweet if you can, ours is even too long winded at times, we just had too much story to chew through. People love seeing action, so do your best to practice the choreography. And lastly, just have fun, remember, it’s your fan film, make it however you want!

@@RedJacketFilms thank you! This is very helpful.

What did this fanfilm Disney didnt?

Drew all good questions! The holocron was essentially destroyed/deactivated by Dai, so he felt like he failed his master. Master Atton tries to sense whatever is left of the holocron. Ora Sye acquires something from the dark entity, and perhaps it influences her dark side...

RedJacketFilms will there be a part 2 to this?

You are correct! That is the Abram’s Bad Robot. We designed and built it entirely from scratch and then 3D printed the model. It was so large it took almost two weeks to print all of the pieces!

Me too!

@@katstoneback Congrats on the film, enjoyed your character arc immensely....

Andrei Bidirean Bad Robot is Abrams’ production company

Crazy Place Entertainment this would be the old republic, around 4,000 years before the battle of Yavin!

Budget

Michael, thank you for all the feedback, appreciate you taking the time to analyze our film! Just a few thoughts from me, you are correct, Dai was not ready for his trial, that was a bit of the point. His master was using him, he cared less about his readiness, and more about the opportunity to exploit him for his own personal gain. I’m not entirely sure why folks seem perturbed that a padawan would smile from time to time, as he a young individual who perhaps isn’t taking the training as seriously as he should. He was also training toward becoming a Jedi knight, not a master. Master Atton even notes this at the end of the film when he comments on Dai’s broken saber. As for the braid, this was something we considered, but as I discovered from a lot of reading that the braid was not necessarily required of all padawans, it was more traditional. We thought it was a fitting sign of a defiant padawan to not have the braid, or perhaps a similarly defiant master not to enforce it. Thanks again for all of your thoughts, if we make another one we will certainly have less smiling!

jedi aren't 'supposed' to believe in absolutes, even Yoda believed sith were entirely irredeemable, which is where Luke showed himself to be superior as a Jedi in that respect, few Jedi are Luke
