Hello guys,

I dunno if you already saw it on YouTube (I didn’t see any thread here dedicated to it), but there’s a guy that has been doing for one year now an animated CGI movie adaptation of the Heir to the Empire.
 

Star Wars: Heir to the Empire - Chapter 1’:-

Its actually very good and professionally made. And since the guy made already did like 1/3 of the book, there’s a real chance that this project, unlike many others, will be finished in some time.
Well, the animation is well and professionally done, Rebels lvl I’d say.

I really can’t wait to see it finished cause its amazing.

I hadn’t realised they were already on Chapter 12 of this series - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaWylkk_HHs 😃
 

Kudos to DarthAngelus for doing it - and also providing ‘director commentaries’ for each Chapter, look at ‘behind the scenes’ videos, and tutorials etc, to see how it is all done…

How has the series progressed? I only watched the first one, has it gotten better/worse?

Well, half of the book has been adapted so far.

The series hasn’t good worse, difficult to say if it has got anu better, quality speaking it maintains the same amateur high lvl quality of the first episodes. Probably it will get even better as the story progresses (Mara Jade meeting Luke etc).

I can’t wait to watch this. Looks really good.

But we can’t turn back. Fear is their greatest defense. I doubt if the actual security there is any greater than it was on Aquilae or Sullust. And what there is is most likely directed towards a large-scale assault.
