      I used to think something like this, but the more I learn about actual real history, the more I come to realize that the stories we tell are by those who are lucky enough to just barely survive. The number of “Real life plot armor” and “Then they decided they were the main character” instances in just WW2 is insane.
      So, I think of it less as plot armor and more as “The lucky ones we hear stories about.”

    Your work represents, hands down, the most well-thought and faithful representation of what exists in the heads of many fans as the 'definitive look' of Star Wars space combat. You've managed to capture in computer graphics such an incredibly authentic look and feel of practical models and effects, from the texturing and lighting of the models to the incredibly satisfying explosion and smoke effects from destroyed fighters. And you've honed in on THE BEST portrayal of Star Wars shields I've seen to date; no flashy glow effects or shield flashes; just expertly rendered dissipation of the blaster bolts on impact; looking like a plume of vented plasma. It's a notoriously tricky thing to properly convey visually, and billion dollar companies have tried and failed to capture what you have here. I really hope the people in charge recognize that there is a vast pool of untapped talent right here on the internet for them to find.

    • @Swooper86
      @Swooper86 Před 2 lety +7

    This one seems definitely better then your previous work. Tho I do think that there should be considerably more blaster fire coming from the capitals as it kinda feels like they are only firing one gun at a time (tjis may be due to render reasons i guess?) Plus for about 10 seconds at the 2:00 mark the starfighters disappear even though in the next scene they are fighting around the destroyer. Overall tho great animation!

    • @zobblewobble1770
      @zobblewobble1770 Před 3 lety +36

      I actually kinda liked the lack of laser fire, it reinforced that this was a smaller variant of star destroyer with only 2 major turbo laser batteries. Also, when the fighters destroy one you can hear the rate of fire go down and it feels like they actually did something substantial (which would not have been the case if there was a ton of turbolasers firing like on an ISD). Still I could see a few anti-fighter lasers being added to the mix and still having the same effect, as long as they were quieter and audibly distinct from the turbolasers.

    I love the look of this, it looks like you’ve ripped the star ships right out of the movies! Two things that I think would be cool additions to the fan film would be: A) when bombs or ion bolts hit shields the plasma morphs around the circumference of the shield barrier and the shield kind of glows like in the movies; B) when the star fighters get blown up we see debris still flying along with inertia of the ship instead of being covered by smoke.

      The way the smoke reacts and blows around was my only small nitpick as well. It looks very realistic if it were in a sky but in space, or to be more consistent with other Star Wars it would be a bit different. Looks okay when it hits the big ships but when The Little Ships just disappear in a cloud of smoke that seems a little different. But what an excellent piece overall!

      Star Wars' space isn't a vacuum. Sure, you could go to a Legends source like the X-Wing novels- but I prefer The Empire Strikes Back. In this movie, Han and Leia step out of the Falcon wearing oxygen masks- not spacesuits. Evidently, they were confident that there would be enough pressure out on an "airless" asteroid to keep their lungs from exploding.

    Star Wars reality check. These battles do not always end happily - someone loses. Combatants die. Terrible sacrifices are made. Brave valiant lives are extinguished in the heat of battle, their traumatised bodies lost in the cold vacuum of space. This is the sad reality of a true Star Wars battle.

    I LOVE the effect of the lasers dissipating as they impact on the shields. I always like shields being completely invisible because when you see them under fire they feel powerful but they also feel like they could break at any time and you're left in suspense wondering which laser will break through.
    I remember watching Rogue One and seeing a pilot making a run on a star destroyer's shield bulb and his x wing's shields cause TIE fighter lasers to dissipate behind him. idk why I just really liked seeing that. I guess because it's actually cool to see shields actually have an effect.
    Awesome animation!!!

      @@renaissancenovice7202 there are some beautiful visible shield effects in star wars for sure. I was a fan of the Raddus' shields in TLJ being visible because they were a highly advanced and different kind of shielding to what is commonly used (hence them being too tough for the enemy to break) and the overall effect was interesting - I think I remember the shield kinda denting and reforming as if it were taking a hugely powerful shot but recovering instantly. I really liked it.
      I think they do work well in star wars video games too, to let the player know how the enemy craft is holding up-which is what Squadrons is doing, and I know Eck's played a bunch of that.
      But for smaller ships and ships with normal shielding, and in more cinematic things, I agree that invisible is best.

      @@LouseGrouse I absolutely hated the visible shields in TLJ. Yes Anakin's N1 had visible shields in TFM but that was on a personal scale and was more a sheath than a bubble. It was very pretty but definitely a divergence from what we had seen with capital ships so far. I really like the effects on the Ebon Hawk in KOTOR where you see a bit of localized field right at the blast point. Ehh. Then again, droidikas have persistent visual shields so it may just be a question the Star Wars community will need to rule on.

      @@nickfoster8336 How is that toxic? The sequels were total garbage and are almost universally considered so. Even the prequels got better viewer scores, and that takes some serious doing compared to Episode 2. Sequels had a ridiculous and disjointed plot, completely forgettable and poorly written characters, and bastardized/character assassinated the most iconic figures arguably in cinema history, tarnishing some of the most important cinematic cultural contributions america ever gave the world decades ago. You don't just take one of, if not THE most popular media franchises on the planet and then completely half ass it, casually insert a bunch of modern political crap, and crap all over the lore, characters, and stories of the previous films without getting backlash.

    My only complaint would be the smoke cloud animation of explosions, which is clearly depicted how gas expands in another gas, not in vacuum. In vacuum you wouldn't have another gas blocking the expansion causing swirls and deceleration in the expanding cloud. But knowing how hard it is to get good looking smoke done in 3D, this is still a fantastic job even if the physics don't fit.
