Hey guys, We just wanted to say hello and say thanks for the support of the film keep watching. If you guys want to see more Forced Alliance let Lucasfilm know. This series has more stories to tell.
Wetstonefilms3/19/08
In the words of darth vader.Impressive,you did realy well in puting together this film the only problems were this film seems to me to be a milidle sence that whould go better in the middle of a moive.Maybe if you were to make this into a mini series it whould be alot better.Well anyways good job.
amosdonald3/10/08
I don't agree with Kraos. I watched this film more than once and this is a fan film and it comes off well going by those standards. I thought the acting was uneven that some were better than others. It was not terrible. The music was great. You can't please everyone. I am sure some people think that the original Star Wars series is terrible also.
Creedx3602/25/08
Excellent film. I can only hope you have forwarded a copy to Lucas Films. Thank you for your efforts! I look forward to more!
Tazerguy2/20/08

xelkorta1/30/08
You should have continued the film, should have extended it to an hour long or longer. but then people would call this Star Wars: Episode 7.im sure gorge lucas would have loved your idea. and the film
teloxi*****hotmail*****1/23/08
Loved it! Want more!! :D
DarthLucifer1/14/08
very well done I would love to see more of this
mahaxxx*****yahoo*****1/10/08
very well done!!
MasterMashUp1/1/08
Wow, this film really turned the orders upside-down. The Jedi were smarmy, the Sith were controlled, and the stormtroopers had grimy armor! I loved the plot twists and original thinking. 5 stars, and I'm looking forward to a possible sequel! (Do they find Luke?)
duanewoods12/28/07
excellent short movie!!!!!! I hope you can finish this saga :)
petebell11/30/07
WOW! CONGRATULATION... The best fan movie I saw after Dark Resurrection, a recent Italian fan movie...You should continue...
gospelsf11/23/07
Great! I wish you could make the whole movie.!!!!!!!
juddhemming11/15/07
excellent job with this film. i look forward to seeing more from this group.
trhguihgf11/6/07
Real good film but should of put more scenes in it! if u make the rest of the story, it could maybe get to be apart of the star wars saga1 keep it up and make the rest of the story!
TeamSaints10/30/07
Awesome. A start for the superb effects, direction and production values. You guys rock. kudos to such a fine team. Real judos.
SpankRamen10/26/07
This is one of, if not, the best fan films I've ever seen! You get mad props from me. All the people who gave this a thumbs down are just haters who probably couldn't do this no matter how hard they tried or how much money they had. Sure it's not at George Lucas level, but what is (apart from Spielberg)? You guys came pretty da-mn close for being just fans. I WANT TO SEE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE!
ApolloCDR10/26/07
Man, I don't know where to begin. The acting, the production values, the direction,the special EFX. This was superb! Gawd!! I can't wait for the sequels!! Please tell there is more to come!!
andvo*****hotmail*****10/12/07
I really enjoyed it! Liked the not so polished stormtroopers I must say. Kinda felt like they just came from another mission and were called in to assist. Or have fallen on hard times with the fall of the empire.. Liked the acting too. I've always felt like the jedi/sith in the movies were acting a bit too sissylike when they fought considdering the kind of power they were supposed to be wielding..
madcat697010/7/07
Watched it, loved it, great short. Storyline is captivating for any SW fan. I agree that this could be used for the talked about television series. *applauds**As for the person who mentioned the "pink" people, READ THE BOOKS!! Although the species is not in the movies, they are in the books. They are called Zeltrons.
Gpaulus10/6/07
Good but we want french subtitels...
Kraos10/1/07
This movie *****ed. The fighting was way too slow, the acting was terrible. The Sith Lord didn't 'feel' like a Sith. His acting portrayed a well-mannered psychotic. I've seen films that can take this one easily. Check out theforce.net for some real films (also some *****py ones too).
crsallen9/21/07
i dont even like sci-fi...but this is freakin great!
shadmonk9/19/07
so so so so so so so so IMPRESSED!!!!!!! felt like george made it himself - give me MORE PLEAAASSEEEEE!!!! !!!

MORE!MORE!MORE!
jedidorian8/21/07
Very very good production value for a non-hollywood short film. Makes you wonder what happened to Luke. Hope there's a 2nd part to this short. May the force be with you.
atilak8/21/07
Very good!
fergyart*****yahoo*****8/21/07
Excellent Job.
drake51508/19/07
Down with the naysayers. So what if it looks like a TV episode. I'm sure all of us have seen Babylon 5, Star Trek TOS, BSG TOS, etc. etc. but what drew us to those shows was our SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF. It was about the story. And IMO, Lucas shold develop this one. REBEL SITH!!! That's Awesome. And BTW the SFX were pretty damn good for a short. These guys don't have the budget of FOX.
ThisIsBauer8/14/07
WOW!! I agree....If George Lucas needs a juicy plotline , awesome directors/producers and acting talent to forge a new Star Wars TV seriesthen go no further...you guys captured the thrill, excitement and suspense of the Star Wars films ..congratulations and well done! I'm forwarding this to all my friends. LUCASFILM..GIVE THESE GUYS A JOB!!
lcpl_crossman8/14/07
I dont know how long post production and special effects take, but if Star Wars were to become a weekly show, you are the people to do it. That was awesome and totally in the spirit of Star Wars
CaptainRendall8/11/07
You should get in touch with Lucas Films. This film has George Lucas quality to it. Or even write it in a book. Seriously, I would love to see this become one of those two. I would love to know what happens.
shon*****loc.gov8/4/07
Outstanding! The Wookiee needs to learn more than one gargle LOL, but honestly, great job! You had some nice aliens tossed into the background, and the part where the sith lord pulls his lightsaber from his own severed hand with the force was a great touch! Very much looking forward to whats next. And "I have a bad feeling about this." is a must for any SW fan scene.
Randybookman7/30/07
Thanks for the comments everyone. Tell your friends to take a look. Gerry Santos and I created this project together and he deserves as much credit as I do. We'll keep you guys posted on future projects as they come up. I just wanted to give a shout to everyone and say thanks again and keep watching.
sarojz7/29/07
What a production for a fan film, impressive spfx, lighting, pacing, action. Like to see more work from Mr. Bookman
ThomasFelixCreighton7/27/07
All I want is another. I will be recomending it to everyone I know. Good story. More! Me want more!
damageinc697/26/07
fairly good lightsaber action.the rest is so-so
ricardobruins7/23/07
hmmmm good movie but most of all nice ladies hehehehehe
ed7228john7/22/07
I really enjoyed the segment I thought it was entertaining I will tell my friends, about this clip.
LadyJedi787/21/07
I give you an A for effort, the special effects were formidable, but the acting was so-so, and the DARK LORD wasn't so DARK and fear inspiring; he was disappointing. Though I did like that it took place after 'Return of the Jedi'.
czarnicolasii7/17/07
Wow! Stunning. It's left me drooling and wanting so much more.
Lord_Hoth7/12/07
It's only because Lucas raised the bar so high that by comparison this vignette seems a little weak in areas. The cinematography is crisp, the intro scene moves at a similar pace to SW:ANH, and the visual effects with the lightsabers and the Force-telekinesis are on par with Episodes II and III. I am bothered by the re-use of the canned fight scene, and by the somewhat sloppy form of the duels, but I believe that the post-production crew should be working for Skywalker Ranch.
LordNefarious7/12/07
Excellenelt cant wait for the sequ
Postaltdk7/6/07
This video was really done well! I love the floating lightsaber effect! There has to be a sequel!
Akrazo7/6/07
I'm surprised this one didn't win the Fan Film Competition. It was filmed with very high skill compared to the others. So when can we expect a sequal?
Myergo7/4/07
High skill level demonstrated in this composition. With refinement could be actual episode of a series. I hope for more groups doing this kind of work. Keep up the good work and May The Force Be With You!
DeathLee7/3/07
Leaves you wanting to see more. Well done!
bodiharma7/2/07
triumphrantly visually, spectacular.they should be working in hollywood.excelsior
Hubell6/30/07
This was very good. Only problem is with choreography, but what you've got isn't shabby at all. Why was this labeled a comedy?
niner76/28/07
skystomper needs to shut up n go home,this was an amazing film.i definatly hope you make a second!i also was wondering about the hilts of the light sabers, how/wear did you get them,E-mail me at Bimboy7*****sbcglobal.net,thx and great jod PSsrry about the bad spelling
gsquiz6/28/07
Skystomper is on crack. What makes SW so great and unique is the Force, and to not feature it would be foolish. I'd like to see what any nay-sayers have made themselves and see if it stands up to our scrutiny. Also, an HD version of the film is online at spearshield***** (I did some looking) and it's definitely on par with anything on TV today. This film is the best I've seen and I really hope these guys have another one in the works.
skystomper6/27/07
The wookie scene was good but along with the R4 unit, felt like a blatant cameo.However I think the acting was pretty credible and the score was very good. Also liked the idea of mercenarys using old stormtrooper armour.Alltogether pretty much forgetable. I'd concentrate your energy into something original rather than making anymore episodes.Sorry for the rant. just trying to give some constructive feedback.flame away!
skystomper6/27/07
The whole thing looked more like an old episode of Star Trek TOS rather than Star Wars, and what's with the lighting/grading? Very flat and moodless and those blue screen shots looked really "still" slowing down pace and badly composited. Also I found it dragged on at the end (the begining was looking more promising)
skystomper6/27/07
I'm sure I'm gonna get flamed by all the fanboys ;) but here's my honest opinion...Nice effort, but doesn't stand out to me as anything original or unique.Pretty much the same old fanfilm stuff as the rest, no creatures or droids just humans (painted purple or not) and ALWAYS about jedi and sith.
TheJemmett6/26/07
Have to say, out of all the fan films I've seen, I was thoroughly impressed with the thought and interest this is able to generate. I look forward to another...hint hint.
lakeisle1086/26/07
well done
dfowensby6/23/07
you know, you Could give us an idea if this leads to another episode, or if it's just a one shotter. Damm this was good.
decemberist236/19/07
Absolutely fantastic, there needs to be another installment, please!
Atonar6/19/07
This film was very good and definetly left me wanting more!! Hope another one is coming.... :P
almaehp6/18/07
OMG!!! Talk about leaving one wanting. I am absolutely panting and salvitating!!!Wonderful special efects, story line and all around 15 minutes definately worth reliving over and over. Out of 5 I give you 6.Please make another installment.
fartmanmovie6/16/07
really great work. Deklin is fantastic. amazing production design and fight choreography.
mcmillin636/15/07
Very good film. I want to see more! These directors need to go to Hollywood.
delta12626/14/07
5\5 stars!! good film, made me want to know more (please do sequel(s))...
kmkate66/13/07
Spectacular film! Wow! I really want to see the sequel(s). Thought the production quality was great, and the story was intriguing. I'm very interested to see where the story goes. I hope there are more from the filmakers soon, as this was over much too soon.
amosdonald6/13/07
I came back to see what others said about this film. Those who did not like the film had one thing in common. They forgot that this is a fan film and George Lucas did not produce it. They did a good job let it go at that!
fanmama6/12/07
'Love the magenta chick. More please.
Zyprout6/12/07
Pretty damn good. The sound quality was my only beaf. I would like to see another. Oh and also, a little bit of better acting would be nice.
katembo6/8/07
So when dose the next part come out
Malachias6/8/07
Loved it! The saber fight could have been speeded up a little to make it seem quicker, but it was the best fan film I've ever seen, and there has GOT 2 b a sequel. The only thing missing was the star wars soundtrack, but there's copyright gonna b protecting that, so its not a major prob.
tarwars6/7/07
Wow! Superb in every aspect: I especially loved the original soundtrack (if it wasn't original, it definitely wasn't from Star Wars). The style and feel of the movie reminded me of the Jedi Knight live-action cutscenes, only better. I was expecting to be thrust into a duel at any moment! So great, and I absolutely loved the quality of the whole production! Please DO keep up the work and please make the sequel (or sequels would be preferred!)!!
BUDDAFLK6/6/07
THIS SHORT ROCKED I WANT MORE!!!
gatorvision6/6/07
When can I see more? There were a few small awkward moments, but the overall feel was excellent.
oncebound6/5/07
My eyes were bound to the screen
Gthreepwood6/5/07
This is great, I could really see it as a TV series or a movie, though I feel a movie wouldn't give it enough time to follow the story presented. Hope to see more from this, very captivating
dfowensby6/5/07
give it 3 to 8 years and you'll see this at IMAX, full length. Excellent cinematographical work. the Saga is not over.....
pinkbluedolphin286/5/07
OMFG that was as if george himself were behind the camera. I hope you shall make many more. Keep up the excellant work.
Jhunta6/5/07
OMFG!! one of, if not THE, best fanfilm EVER made, bravo!! (/applauds)
pacop2p6/4/07
I could see this being made into a cable series. I'd follow it!
amosdonald6/4/07
This is a legitimate attempt to broaden the Star Wars story and introduce new characters to keep the story fresh and alive. It was realistic and the ending was superb in that in left you wanting to see a sequel. I hope these filmmakers will make more of these films. I hope they will try other genres as well.
rolariel*****yahoo*****6/3/07
the movie is wonderful, everything in it made you eager to see more and more ...
habu5p16/3/07
Impressive, verry impressive
Ultrapower50006/3/07

I love it.....More...
digrifter5/29/07
great movie! more more more!
indieshorthair5/29/07
That was fantastic!!!! You certainly do have a future in the film industry. Don't stop making films! In truth, I think I actually enjoyed you short more than I did the majority of moments in the actual Lucus Ep 1 - 3. I mean, way better acting. Although, I still liked them just b/c they were star wars. But again, fantastic job.
Dogbandit5/29/07
Wow!! i don't believe it. Fantastic. That was better than Revenge of the Sith.
quilwils5/29/07
This film is in a different league to the usual well meaning but amateur short film. This is deserrving of a full version. What DID happen to Luke??MORE PLEASE
NarShaddaa5/29/07
The movie very perfect!!!
MidSnacker5/29/07
Amazing! The story fits in flawlessly. Now i just want to know where Luke is. Great job in capturing my attention.
gruteo5/29/07
Maybe Lucas didn't pick it because he was afraid of the competition? lolWell done, where's the rest?
lipadis5/29/07
Not too bad you might have a future in film makeing on a grand scale.
SmittysVids5/29/07
A true credit to the first three installments of the Star Wars Franchise. Well acted and written, flawless rotoscoping and good fight choreography. In the words of Oliver Twist "Please Sir, I want some more."
comanderbg5/29/07
Perfect. Nicely done. Make a part II.
Imhotep70*****yahoo*****5/29/07
ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR. This is a serious story, yet with pleasant undertones and interactions between characters that appear very real. This entry speaks to the STRUGGLES between the different powers and inside themselves. I am impressed; like others have mentioned, I am left wanting MORE!
zulimazuli5/29/07
Awsome
czechrite5/29/07
You did an excellent job! And, it shows. I've never seen a fan film production like this. really great. Don't listen to the nit pickers, the little details in this film made it all work.
igreeny5/28/07
i may be a noobat *****ysing movies but i know what i like and loved this so great works guys and please please make some more
myddraal095/28/07
What was the deal with the pink humanoids? Nowhere in Star Wars canon is there mentioned beings who are identical to humans, only pink. The twi'lek's lekku were on the back of his head, when they should have been positioned more towards the front. The apprentice jedi should have had more control over his emotions toward the waitress; the master should have rebuked him for his lust.
Vinesy5/27/07
How cool. Very impressive, a true Star Wars feel. Fantastic sound and effects. Sequel please, and maybe Mark Hamill can assist.
JediAlex5/26/07
Incredible effects; you guys really worked hard on this! Amazing overall actually, it has the feel of a true Star Wars movie. I'm throughly wishing for a continuation to the story.
imran1ejaz5/26/07
one word.....i want more. ok three words.great script....
Lucisvenia5/24/07
Very impressive well done and very good plot.
AimeeAhiers5/22/07
WOW! Impressive! Would be surprised if you didn't win it all.
jeein5/21/07
The Force is with this one! Has the feel, sound, soul and sc
