I can’t wait to see a full remake of the original scene with all the ships but with all your ships instead! You have almost done everyone now! Love it!
Certainly would be awesome to see. Maybe one day with enough fan support EC might get the opportunity to undertake such a massive undertaking. He's certainly well on his way with all the fleet ships he's doing.
Sure is, and right on time too. I've been logged out of my google account for days because my computer died and I'm lazy. I got back on 5 minutes ago and the timing couldn't be better.
@@Kepora1 I'm surprised that lazy illustrators haven't tried to take his designs like they did those fanmade Mon Cal designs from the quick frankly awful Mutiny at Mon Cala and Hope Dies arc. Would've been better to stick with the standard MC80 variants we saw in the film along with the MC75 from Rogue One and the MC40 and MC30 designs from X-wing.
@@MrChickennugget360 EH might not have the followers that SW is looking for, but he and his crew have the skill and passion that attract people to a good story that compliments its visuals. EC would be a great asset to screen or page!
@@Kolonol1 Do you only shower when you're meeting someone you like? I don't see how the absence of a teacher grading you should mean you devolve into communicating like a neanderthal.
Great backstory. I love that you created it as a mobile command center and an infiltration craft. Not every vehicle in a war has to go in guns blazing. The ability to hide an intelligence asset like that in plain sight is priceless. Great story telling man.
Mr. Ec Henry is an extremely valuable asset. This kind of ship reminds me the tugs that are often seen passing through the river here in the city where i live, it is funny to see a small, compact vessel pushing like 8 pontoons that more than double its length, and are also full of cargo.
What a brilliant fleshout. The little freightpod that could. So many stories, so many modifications that could be made. While a Fondor Haulcraft blazes onto the Imps radar, these little guys keep on going. Bravo EC! Well done!
Love the description. This ship makes more sense as a modular cargo tug than the Millenium Falcon to some degree. Too bad you weren’t doing this 25 years ago, you so could have filled a West End Games Adventure Guide all by yourself.
You always lure me with the design & bag me with the lore. I'm not even mad - too busy loving your work. Whatever you're doing gets awesome results, so keep it up EC-Henry! C'mon, you made a ship, and then you added an entire rebel movement of freighter captains to fold into the Rebel-Alliance, all to justify a blurry blob among a sea of other blobs & some recognizable starships. As someone who enjoys thinking up this sort of stuff myself I can understand how rare these moment can be & how much work goes into these fantastic few minutes... yet every time you release a video like this I'm mentally staggered by your concise delivery of a mountain of semi-original content. To top it off, somehow the way you do this is inspiring. Honour & thanks to you for your service to all who love Star Wars, EC-Henry.
gosh darn it EC... ya did it again! Another PHENOMENAL ship with the best back story!!! I cannot wait for more!!! please please PLEASE keep up your amazing work!!!
Heck could even see that as part of the lore, "Hey what are we going to do with all these small transport and search and rescue ships now that the wars over?" "I don't know, think we could toss some cargo into some pods and sell them on the civilian market?" This is what basically happened with the Jeep after WW2.
This is absolutely my favorite backstory you’ve come up with for one of these ships. I don’t think I could pick a favorite out of the ships themselves, but Captain Shua and the Cyclops VII are absolutely deserving of a long form story
I would like to see EC Henry or someone else recreate this scene now that all the background ships have been resurrected and fleshed out. Edit: I made this comment before I saw the end of the video, Ok I can wait a bit longer. It’s worth the wait.
Hey EC, have you considered doing a full narrative video on an existing design that you really like, I personally think that you are a good storyteller and that the video would do well.
I'm never not amazed at how much these renders look like photographs of plastic and resin models. I'd love to see a tutorial from you or your collaborators on the technique.
Woo, EC Henry time! Great model, it really captures the feel of early rebel ships. Your story for it is fascinating, and those paintings are amazing! At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if you created a detailed ship out of a piece of shrapnel, complete with intricate lore and years of backstory, lol.
Heck, E.C. doesn't even need shrapnel, it could be a mere camera smudge in a 3 second shot of Rebel ships and he could give you a detailed history/backstory, a design lineage as well as a fully realized set of deck plans!
At some point, people are going to expect you to recreate that Ep5 Rebel fleet fly-by scene. You've done at least most of the ships now. Also Kudos on adding character models.
This is awesome! After watching most of your videos on these obscure ships I wish someone at Disney is watching with the power to incorporate your designs and stories into canon. This is gold. Even if they don't make it into official canon, your designs and stories are now part of my head canon.
Just came across your channel. Love seeing videos like this where you add something new to the Star Wars universe and add a full context around it to where it feels like it just naturally fits. It's awesome just how large that universe is and how it allows us to put our own stuff in it without throwing the existing stories off.
Dude... you are quite simply next level with this shit. I cannot get over not just how much work you put into this, but in how plausible and engaging the end result is! I'm in complete awe.
Another fantastically imaginative video! This story you’ve created fits so seamlessly into cannon and all of your visual material is as impressive as any canon creations. Bravo 👏.
Another outstanding work! I especially love the simple rocket-like shape and the modularity. Also another Reason for Captain Shuua to defect to the rebellion: The Empire also loved to assimilate or seize the assets of smaller companies (see Cloud City), so they have an economic concern to fight against the Empire aswell.
I think there's at least three remaining from ESB but EC indicates there is more. Heck, there's this weird box ship under the Sphaerolana I've never been able to identity myself. Plus the Nebulon-B variants, at least 2, I've spotted.
It's really cool that you highlight these little known ships. The OT established thousands of different types of ships, some civilian, some Alliance vessels.
Amazing what can be done with a fuzzy image of a little hunk of plastic in a 40 year old film. Awesome stuff! And one of the coolest back stories you've done yet.
Amazing how EC Henry can add so much personality and depth to a background ship that is essentially just a cylindrical shipping container with thrusters and a cockpit on it.
It strikes me that we often get distracted by the wonderful ships yiu and your colleagues and collaborators come up with because your work always creates such wonderfully detailed ships, that we often forget how incredibly good you all are at developing the lore behind the craft. Such a great idea and one that's so versatile it could be used in multiple settings outside SW. 👏👏👏👏👏
EC Henry, another amazing ship!! I admire so much how you can take the smallest ship in the background and flesh it out, then shine light on it for us all to admire. I love the model and I also love the backstory of this ship. It is now in my head canon! Please keep up the stellar work, good sir!! I cannot wait until the next one. :-)
Might be my favorite one of these simply because of how much it reminds me of like a Star Wars version of a classic rocket ship design. I especially love the cockpit placement.
I always love your ship designs and the stories behind them. I’m curious if you’ll ever do a similar thing for blasters, I know especially in the comics there are a lot of interesting blasters that I’ve never seen that look really cool. I remembered recently reading the dark empire comics and I noticed a really cool blaster that’s either based on the M1 Garand or the M14.
Please Lucasfilm hire this man. The amount of work you do is phenomenal and honestly I doubt many people in the world are as good as you are in this. Maybe you’re even _the_ best. A guy like you working officially with Lucasfilm would allow to achieve so many things !
Wow you really breathed life into this random background ship that wasn’t even a model. And weaved an amazing tapestry of lore and depth to it. I would while heartedly read, listen to or watch this!!
Once you've combed through every shot for obscure vessels to flesh out it would be cool to make a final video of a detailed view of the full 'canon' and on-screen rebel fleet we see in the OT.
Really like your thought process behind these videos and how much continuity you've maintained between not only the aesthetic, but the function of these crafts. For instance, I love that the cockpit module looks to not only be ejected, but also swapped out for more specified tech. Good job! 🌵👽
As a child who loved both Star Wars and Star Trek and collected the Micro Machine ships, since the ships were what first pulled me in to both, I used to take random household objects and make them into the enemy of the day, and what you do scratches that itch for new and imaginative ship designs from franchises I’ve loved my whole life, keep up the good work!
I am constantly blown away by your attention to detail and ability to pull these fully realized stories from the fog of obscurity. thank you for giving us this opportunity to learn more about the small stories of the Alliance
If you truly do run out of unknown vehicles from the Original Trilogy, why not try the Prequels? They're might be a hidden gem you never knew was there until a closer look during a re-watch.
True, think of all those ships over Coruscant in TPM and AOTC. And the ships over Mos Eisley in ANH. Then we can have fun in the Sequels -- the ships over Hosnian Prime and on Takodana.
@@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933 weren't there just Venators, , Recusants, Munificents, Providences and Lucrehulks plus Vultures, Tris, ARC-170s, V-wings, Actis interceptors? Or are we counting the additional ones from that Star Tours footage?
Brilliant stuff! Love it! But GOD would I lOVE if these things you create could be brought into canon! They ABSOLUTELY deserve a place there, and they fit perfectly too!
Wow what an incredible design! I love how these designs are great designs but also always super unique, not just designs that serve traditional roles of spaceships
This ship looks like some one salvaged front lower part of the Consular-class cruiser ship (which normally acts as an escape pod) and converted the escape pod into a regular space ship.
I've seen many recent remakes or interpretations of old media, Demon's Souls, Star Trek, etc that are off-design; as if reflecting the hubris of an artist that believes they are "better" stylistically than the original material, and need to fix it. And then there's this; so on-design and on-style, yet realized with a meticulous level of craft. It's humble enough to stay true to the source material, yet within those self-set constraints it emerges as more creative than many projects with unlimited freedom. After being fed so much pretentious garbage by AAA studios and Hollywood, it's refreshing and heartwarming. Like cooking and enjoying grandma's recipes after weeks of living on fast food.
