Sorry it took me a few days. On Friday I was informed of the passing of my uncle so I left for the capital with my family for his memorial. Right before we left for the memorial (in Ottawa for over 24hrs already) I went into a respiratory attack and we called 911. I was rushed to the Hospital and they forbid me to travel so that they could run multiple x-rays. This morning they allowed me to come home, but I have to go see a specialist tomorrow morning.

Haha, not yet. I'm gonna finish SW DVD Menus first and wait for the Revisited of ESB before I get to work on that shot.

The trailer was amazing. Your first trailer wasn't as convincing, but this trailer makes me eager to see this very soon.

Thanks, glad you liked it!

Yeah, the trailer was pretty good. I'm guessing this has been a very educational time for you, A-man?

Thanks, by educational time, did you mean the whole process of editing? If so then God yes! Haha, I've learned sooooooo much in working on this fanfilm and I'm eager to see everyone's reactions to the finished product!

Please tell me what you think! Personally I am very happy with how it turned out.

This trailer was extremely moving!  Good work!  A few minor critiques:

1)  I would remove, at least, the very first percussion cadence you have in there before Obi-Wan is about to show Luke the lightsaber.  As it is now, you've begun to tease the coming tension when I haven't even had time to settle into the first mindset you're trying to establish.

2) You're closing caption "The story of . . . . . told simultaneously" is an awfully vanilla choice of phrasing consider how much building up your trailer has done before reaching this point.  I would consider coming up with something a bit more compelling for your trailer sign off with.

All things considered, 5 Stars and a "Favorite!"

EDIT: I just caught the brief hesitation you gave Ben before he says "Darth Vader." It really goes a long way to selling the idea that Ben is in fact lying about him being Luke's father.  Bravo, Bravo!

EDIT 2: Where is the music from?  Is it Metal Gear Solid?

Thanks! I don't necessarily agree with the first point, but I do understand where you're coming from. I'll consider that for the next one.

In terms of the second point I agree, that was just the best I could come up with unfortunately haha.

The hesitation thing was just an easter egg in the trailer not featured in the final film. I also inserted "Vader" before "helped the empire hunt down and destroy the jedi knights" to make it sound more personal and intense.

The music is from E.S. Posthumous.
