Least Favorite and Favorite Star Wars Fan Films..

Very old thread but because I am at the moment watching some Fan Films:

  1. Knightquest
  2. Broken Allegiance
  3. Darth Maul - Apprentice
  4. The Dark Redemption
  5. Kenobi

Three old and two younger productions in my top 5.
Today the possiblities are quite easier (or better) to create a star wars fan film. Nevertheless Knightquest, Broken Allegiance and The Dark Redemption has the special Star Wars magic 😃
The Darth Maul movie is an optical masterpiece and the Kenobi movie has an awesome casting and acting.

There are a few recommended fan edits listed up in here, mate (by various OT members - with a wide range of styles and tastes):-

Star Wars Fan Films / Shorts - a general discussion thread - including a ‘mini-index’ of fan films in the thread; here. 👍
 

Looking forward to giving that 40 minute Knightquest fan film a watch - though I’m not quite sure if I’ve seen it before going on the trailer.

Hmmm…they will only restore the deleted scenes from the bluray? 🥳🥂That’s great So far but no new scenes?
No colorations the black and white scenes?🤔

These are just the scenes that have been uploaded to the ALI youtube channel so far - there may be more scenes to come. 👍

It is all a ‘Work In Progress’ (WIP) - so we can hope for more detailed scenes as their work progresses (and maybe colour too). 🥂

The Breakthrough That Could Solve Ocean Plastic

www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IIxOiMmaTg - a 10 minute video from Planet Wild.
 

The blurb: 'We’re helping to fight plastic pollution in Mumbai by stopping ocean plastic at the source.
🌱 Join us to rewild the planet: https://planetwild.com/join/m34

Ocean plastic waste is one of the planet’s biggest crises, and it’s getting worse. Most of this plastic doesn’t start at sea. It comes from land.

Once the plastic reaches the ocean, it’s extremely difficult to do anything about it. The plastic pollution spreads through marine ecosystems and ultimately breaks down into microplastics.

In Mumbai, that is exactly what is happening. Plastic often ends up in storm drains and waterways and then flows straight into the ocean.

That’s why in our 34rd mission, we went to Mumbai and teamed up with Plastic Fischer, an organization whose low-tech invention is stopping plastic waste from entering the ocean by capturing it at the source.

It’s a real shame that he’s no longer active, because he did an excellent job on his projects. In my opinion, his work was much better than the official version. I hope he’s doing well, wherever he is, and that someone has kept his projects safe.

I only just found this forum it’s sad to see that it’s impossible to get a link to these projects when the author is inactive.

It is more sad to think that someone may see your post - and mistakenly think it is true…

Does anybody know what this is?
Time

The Bog Beast! 👍

^ as it was known in the script for Empire (much later named a ‘Dragonsnake’ in canon / EU / Legends etc)
 

 

T’bone had a decent segment about it here - https://starwarz.com/tbone/dagobah

Obligatory wookieepedia article - https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Dragonsnake

TFn Zoo-ology piece - www.theforce.net/swtc/zoology/dragonsnake.html

 

From the script - https://imsdb.com/scripts/Star-Wars-The-Empire-Strikes-Back.html
 

Suddenly, through the thick fog layer, a dark shape appears, moving
toward the little droid. The dark, sinuous bog beast dives beneath the
swampy water, making a loud clunk against Artoo’s metal hull. The
droid disappears from sight, uttering a pathetic electronic scream.

Holding his ignited lightsaber before him, Luke wades a few feet into
the murky pool, looking for any sign of his little friend.

			LUKE
	Artoo!

The black surface is still as death itself… until a few bubbles begin
to appear. Then, phheewaat!! The runt-size robot is spit out of the
water, makes a graceful arc, and comes crashing down into a patch of
soft gray moss.

			LUKE
	Oh, no!  Are you all right?  Come 
	on.  You're lucky you don't taste 
	very good.  Anything broken?

Luke helps Artoo to his feet and begins wiping the mud and roots from
his round metal body. Artoo responds with feeble, soggy beeps.

			LUKE
	If you're saying coming here was 
	a bad idea, I'm beginning to agree 
	with you.  Oh, Artoo, what are we 
	doing here?  It's like... something 
	out of a dream, or, I don't know.  
	Maybe I'm just going crazy.

As Luke glances around at the spooky swamp jungle that surrounds him,
Artoo ejects a stream of muddy water from one of his cranial ports.

 

Jamie Benning may have done a shot doc or something similar for this - very much up his street; and worth a search for. 👍
