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?

And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.

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.

DarthAngelus is at chapter 24 already! He also says chapters 25 & 27 are finished, with chapter 23 being nearly finished. CHapter 22 is the latest available on his actual channel for us to see.

It also appears he’s picked some some new subscribers for his channel soon after the official Ahsoka trailer was released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jxPoV2xlYE

I thought DarthAngelus was going to do a movie version of this, compile his chapters into a feature length project?

It is still very cool what he doing, and how far he has done so far!
 

Edit: stupid me could not find the movie length HTTE video on his channel. I wasn’t looking in the right place:

The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

What an awesome fan project. I’m only 30 minutes in, but this is really impressive.

Chapter 23 is now listed on his channel as being made available tomorrow, May 4th.

A nice touch, releasing that on the 4th 😃

Yes, great project. All those awards on the front thumbnail cover, whatever they are for, he has deserved them all, for all the time, commitment, and very high quality in his videos. I hope he will do more projects like this, after a well earned rest!
