One year and 1.5 million views! Thank you to all who have watched HOSHINO! Eric and I appreciate the love/comments/questions regarding the film. We adore Star Wars so much and this was a blast to make - an even greater gift to have it find so many of you. Excited to share new projects very soon and to continue to expand as a storyteller. Thanks again!
Stephen Vitale i just discovered this on anna's channel and I must say it's amazing! You got a new subscriber :)
Stephen Vitale I love this film, it is sad, exciting ,cool.... I will need over 2 years to complite the description of the film ( sorry for mistakes, I am German and only 12 years old 🤗) ❤️❤️❤️
is there going to be a part two?
Well done, that was amazing.
It's the second time i found that movie. Still as good as the first time.
I love the teaching in this. (Not falling for easy moral on good and bad)
Wow. THIS is Star Wars.
In 7 minutes you saw a non-Skywalker arc. You saw ambition vs growth. You saw power and control.
THIS was amazing.
In seven minutes they exhibited more creativity, love, and dedication than Disney has in it's entire existence
This is the type of lead character we wanted in the sequels. A truly great film
Yeah after episode 9 comes out, Disney needs to get AWAY from Skywalkers....go 1000 years into the past or into the future
Well said
I saw more light sabers than what we saw in TLJ
I like the fact that she wasn't blinded in some great battle but the more humble background of wounding herself by being reckless in training.
@@p0mander877 And she carries the scars as marks of wisdom and humility.
@@p0mander877 She´s basically a Anakin, reckless in her use of the force until she gets maimed and has to master it, to adapt to her disability.
your right!;) her disability made her powerful! i love stories like this!;)
and i like how you said that. the scars that she carried gives her wisdom humility
you know. i know this is not real. but it feel like it is. something that can happen in real life.
What I love about this fan film is that it portrays how a real kid would probably act during jedi training. Impatient and Irresponsible. If Star Wars was real there would probably be more limbless Padawans out there.
You know what? I used to consider Hoshiro too whiny at her training. But reading your comment made me relate to her. Thanks! :)
The younglings would use training sabers that only give mild burns. And they probably teach lightsaber safety lessons to death.
@@wesleywallace4426 On the other hand, because she has experienced what a lightsaber can do firsthand, Hoshino probably has FAR more respect for the weapon she wields than any of those "officially" trained younglings ever would.
@@terencemcquillan5750 why's that
@@pikarari Personal opinion only, but I see it as the difference between children being told "don't touch the stovetop, trust me on this" and children finding out through actual experience WHY you don't touch the stovetop.
She is instantly tragic and compelling. This is how stories are told. Not, “I woke up Tuesday, I was a Jedi. Who knew?”
yeah, the plot of A New Hope is pretty thin when you actually sit back and think about it
at least it's not Episode I, where a little boy is essentially a Jedi Master
oh!
oh, you meant the one about the girl
@@pikarari , funny but both Anakin and luke both trained and lost much more then Rey
@@pikarari Shut the fuck up Nick.
@@clevernamerighthere9240 What did Luke train in before taking down the Death Star? What did Anakin train in before becoming a podracing champion? Rey was scavenging and surviving and using weapons in self defence from before she turned 10.
@@azraphonRey piloted the milenium falcon just fine just like luke piloted well and anakin with the pod racing, I’m fine with that’s not what I’m talking about. When it came to battle, Luke and anakin trained and lost more then Rey.
"this is light, but it has weight" 😫👌 that line though
True

“This is light, but it has weight.”
“I have friends in orbit who probably heard you coming.”

RichardJLC why are fan films so much better than the real Star Wars...?!???
Some fan films...are better than the “official” Star Wars movies. I cannot say that it is true for all of them. But many of them are better, if I must compare. The same for Star Trek.
Why? Deeper character development; more relatable to the viewer/to me; attention to the small details, especially from the low budget, lone fan film creator... I just really appreciate the so-called “nobody” who has a passion to create these shorts where they write the story themselves and sometimes even write their own music themes and build sets, film it, edit it, add all the visual & sound special effects and then present it for the world to see and enjoy. That takes creativity and courage. These are people worth supporting and who inspire me to do the same in my artistic passions. Guess, sometimes, I need permission.
RichardJLC you should comment that instead of replying to someone (not saying that replying makes it any less impactful/important or you did something wrong)
@@richNfit4life I can totally agree with your opinion. :)
"Amazing... every word of what you just said was wrong."
Both are impossible.
Ko Hoshino is without a doubt the #1 fan created character that I would pay money to see more of on screen!
I have lost count of the number times I have watched this. Its so good. Ko Hoshino is a character I would love to see more of.
She needs to be a real character in canon somehow!
Need more of Ko Hoshino
@@midraeus Concur.
So I'm at this museum with my cousin Ignacio and he told me "Hey yo, I met this crazy fine Jedi chick at the Mos Eisley cantina the other night. Like fine fine. Like, crazy stupid fine."
It was an exhibition of Picasso, but I am like more into Mondrian because of the strong shapes and basic colors.
YESSSS. People don't seem to realize she;s also a CZcamsr, haha. This company should just randomly put other famous CZcamsrs in their Star Wars productions
to my brother you would be a triator for watching marvel films i suggest you take that ant man comment down.this is a star wars video
Rachel...your idiocy is amazing...
Browser can you marry me?
The only thing i "dislike" about this film is that i could only "like" it once 👏👏👏👏
And that is only 7 mins
Also there was no lightsaber dueling, that would've been quite epic
bitch
sorry
I love this
THE LAST PART LITERALLY GAVE ME CHILLS. OH MY GAWD
I'm one with the Force. The Force is with me. I'm one with the Force. The Force is with me.
@@penny1545 nicee
THAT LAST PART WAS BEAUTIFUL!! OMG
"In a real fight I'd be able to see."
Oh boy...
MCU Quicksilver, "I bet you didn't see that coming." ;)
LIttle bit of foreshadowing that....sort of like in Marvel Agents of Shield when 'Yo-yo' stated "Where's an axe when you need one?"
In
When fan films are better then the current movies
This is not recorded just for money, thats difference
@@RadimPokorny passion and love
I like the current movies just as much 😂
@@hyrule5975 what you like in those movies are the special effects. And please don't say that you like the story too
It's just that you rate it as a fan
YASSSS it looks so awesome !
your acting has really fucking improved Anna - From an old viewer
I got goosebumps!!!
Please tell me you're in Episode VIII or IX!!?!
I enjoyed that
I don't know who you are, but that was really good. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside now.
Yes it was. Great work.
Star wars needs to be given to the fans. I mean look at this! It's beautiful!
Um hello it already is given to the fans. The current creators of all star wars and marvel movies are just fan boys that got rich and bought out George Lucas and Stan Lee R.I.P.
@@bignelso Seems accurate 😂
A great storyline, 100% aligned with Star Wars. A strong head apprentice, anxious about "making it", who makes a terrible mistake because of that anxiety, and uses it to learn and become the best version of herself. It could remind you of Luke on one side, or Anakin on the other (who sadly couldn't use his failure as a lesson).
Wonderful work.
So ummmm, is a trilogy coming for Hoshino? Asking for a friend.
“A friend who happens to share the same name as I do...”
Coincidence.
No
I know her fighting style: blow sand to enemy"s yes by the Force and cut them.
😃 Seriously! I would support a Kickstarter for this. Anna Akana would do so well. 😁
@@user-xx6vy9ri8p ага... "Я умею сражаться вслепую. Ты - нет".
"You'll put an eye out playing with that thing".
Merry Christmas
I see what you did there.
Xmas story great movie lol
Two eyes... As often as you can spare them.
But man does it leave a really cool scar.
A short focused more on story, atmosphere and depth rather than focusing on choreography. A rarity, yet done VERY well. Really like it, and i hope it has a continuation. Hoshino looks like a really interesting character 🔥🔥🔥
@IG-11 This is the way
,,,llélrd,.
This is fabulous. So often Jedi-focused fan films seem to be about how awesome Jedi are, it's nice to see one focused on errors and the effort to overcome them.
"This is light but it has weight" I feel like this is something Masters Yoda, Obi-Wan, or Skywalker would say. Amazing writing.
I know it's figurative, but it would explain the physics of wielding a lightsaber... :)
Def obi wan
No, Kanan Jarrus
Definitely sounds like it comes out of Obi-wan
Mark Crosbie yes true!
Oh my god. “It’s light, but it has weight” best line ever.
Wow. Director liked my comment. Even better! Do you mind if I download it and put it in my DVD collection?
Hey, thanks! Tim McKernan’s our Jedi Master and he delivered the hell out of that line.
Eric Carrasco yes he did! The idea is really great. I really like both characters and definitely would like to see more of them.
Eric Carrasco and they way he trains her looks better than Obi-Wan did, of course she did lose her eyesight, but it’s not like he didn’t warn her.
" this is light...but its also DARK..." thats a better line ~(^..)
Shout out to Anna Akana & Tim Mckernan for their FANTASTIC acting in this fan film!
I’ve lost count on how many fan films I’ve watched, but this is my favorite. Not so much for its combat or action, but rather its softness and compelling storytelling. Plus the plot is unique in a way that no other film ever has been.
I'd love to see a full budget with this group (both on screen and off screen crew). This feels right. It feels like a real Star Wars story.
amazing soundtrack as well
"They" could most likely make a real Star Wars story for most of the Jedi if they chose. Most of them have an interesting backstory.
Amen!
What do you mean "feels like"? It is a real Star Wars story.
Hoshino, A.K.A "How to make a way more compelling Star Wars character than Disney in less than eight minutes".
disnay be cursed and everything you do. die disney. disappear, annihilate. burn in hell jar jar abrams and disney.
😅😅😅preach
Here we have the Star Wars equivalent of "Still a better love story than Twilight" :D
Disney clearly takes advantage of the star wars fandom they'll put trash movies cause all the fans will go see it and buy merchandise
Anyone who wants to build this saber in fallen order, here it is:
Color: Blue
Emitter: Eno Cordova
Switch: Power and control
Sleeve: power and control
Material: Alloy metal
That’s only the top half, I don’t know what the bottom half is
Too bad i got the double blade, but good news is i know how to turn on 1 saber only.
I originally didn’t want to but thanks to you I do
The way she positions the lightsaber at the level of her eyes at the end...wooow.
And the story, the acting, the only thing I can say right now is WOW! I love this!
feels like a trailer for a movie that NEEDS to be made
YES
Exactly
It actually does...
And in 7 min you have created a female jedi with a better character and story arc than Rey.... bravo!
This is why I hate when ppl call us FAN boys because we want this. It's pretty confusing because a fan boy to me is one that doesn't Kno the true lore of Starwars
@@holyarmageddon19 They don't care, it's all to push an agenda.
#FACTS
Absolutely!
Joshua Hawley yes!!!!! Disney sucks
I always get chills at the end. Great job Stephen Vitale with this short film!
"We are the guardians of peace in the galaxy. We defend and protect. We never attack."
Yet if you check every movie it's always the Jedi who ignite their sabers first.
This was absolutely amazing. I love how instead of focusing on cool-looking lightsaber battles, it actually focuses on making an intriguing and believable story which it achieves very well. Bravo!
Thanks CZcams for recommending me this 2 years late. :/
I wish I could’ve enjoyed this
masterpiece when it first released
Dude, I’m right here with you! I literally just watched it due to CZcams’s “recommendations.... better late than never I guess 🤔
Same....((
@@_darita_7700 Lolololo
Same
bruh why is youtube so bad
Ko was impatient, made a mistake and paid a heavy price for it. Seven minutes, and I'm more in love with a fan character than most in the canonical saga.
Brilliant work!
Wow, thanks so much! That's high praise.
Very high praise indeed! Thank you!!!
Literally the best star wars fan film ever.
Yes.. I love it. I'm enthralled with this character. She's like Ahsoka and Satille rolled into one.! Kudos. Well played Lord Vitale
In 6 minutes this character has more depth than a particular official Jedi. We would love to collab with the creator of this!
Ninja Kidz TV wow
Make an actually good star wars movie with them
Commenting so I can be notified if this happens
You are so right.
Not if you count the Clone Wars. Ahsoka has a lot of depth.
This was good. The fact that she caused her own disability but instead learned from it and evolved as a person was great.
That's honest.
You pay for too much ambition and impatience. In both star wars and in actuality.
Still coming back to watch this over again. My favorite Star Wars fan film.
"This is light... but it has weight."
Arguably the most chilling and philosophical line in all of Star Wars, and it was in a fan film...
Man if we’re all being honest here, if we were padawans, we’d probably be just as impatient as her when it comes to lightsaber training
Patience is learned.
@@sumguy01 And if not carefully, that lesson can be harsh.
she was too old to start her padawan training and got too eager to train with lightsabers
Actually, i would be scared XD
She has the force. If the Jedi did not trained her, the Sith probably will.
This is much better than a lot of cheesy short films Ive seen where they use nerf guns as blasters and terrible acting. I really liked it. This should be a full movie.
Probably because this has a higher budget and more work put into it.
Lol.... Your searching for the wrong things then pal
@@Sednas : Budget has a bit to do with it. Attention to detail and story has much, much more to do with it. Even if it had cheesy stuff like the nerf toys, the story itself is there. The same can't be said of some of the poorer quality works.
Heh. I'm sure he'd do better than Abrams did on the two of the most recent trilogy. Definitely better than Rian did.
@@frankearl9285 like I said, "work" applies to the story as well.
The ending was absolutely perfect
hands down the best fan film on youtube.
This is fan film? The value, the teachings, the quality... Man, wish a full fledged movie from this!! Good work!
It’s because we as fans know what we want to see in a Star Wars film. Something like the original 6 Star Wars movies, not that garbage like the new movies with Rey
@@simplyinfinity9338 LOL, I must be much older than you. When the prequels came out, half the fans thought they were nothing like the originals. When Return of The Jedi came out, half the fans thought it's nothing like the first two...
I could watch a whole series starring this girl, she's bad ass!
Anna Akana.
You should watch her CZcams channel, she's pretty awesome! Her name is Anna Akana
Eh. Her content is okay. Too political and radical in my opinion
@@zatharos6427 Imperial moron!
Zatharos yes she is. Why do actors/actresses think they need to get political these days? What they say about family get togethers is doubly true for actors, Never discuss religion or politics.
"I do not need my eyes to see you, Jedi." - Count Dooku
These actors have genuine talent and the directing is on point
9/10
Too short, needs to be longer and be a friggin movie!
This is a fan movie and probably took ages I don't blame them for making it short 10/10
Well... but now I'm addicted. I NEED more.
agreed. feature length needed. so good, well done.
Can't you finish the sith fight though at least :(
We need to see the full final battle!!! :D
As someone who dove into Bushido as a way to cope with being paralyzed and no longer able to practice martial arts, I really appreciate the use of philosophy here. The unbalanced, headstrong apprentice, the calm, yet focused teacher. The humility of the whole film speaks volumes louder than the big screen ones. No big spectacle, no fancy effects, just two people, just words and some simple scenes. Great storytelling, clear character establishment, and growth. A bookending juxtaposition of reversed character roles, really well done.
Bushido hates the police but still needs it
had to re watch this, now her character is wicked, like other comments wished we got to see more of her story after this, good writing and character development in a short film, Master Ko Hoshino 100
one of the best Star Wars fan films on youtube!
If this was a movie and it was in theatres, it would be great. Great acting, effects, cinematics, everything is beautiful.
"7 year olds when they get their first lightsaber"
This is before the new jedi order of Luke in the books, some of them even actually use lightsabers and become more martial force users
But they been training since they were babies while she probably just started training in her 20s
1. Scripting. Brilliant use of a limited dialogue that both told the story, and gave us a deep back story to the characters without the need for exposition.
2. Directing. Every scene heightened and served by the camera.
3. Effects. Professional grade.
4. Acting. Awesome. The actors brought their characters and the dialogue to life.
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this. It is an amazing gift.
This is one of my favorite Star Wars fan films. I watched it many times.
I absolutely adore the teacher in this film, and the line about how the saber is light, but it has 'weight' was awesome
The Fantum yeeaa! The way he was saying those words. Love it. Such teaching.
The Fantum he has such a wisdom. God i want more of this! Film jajaj. And you know what.? She became powerful being blind!;) she had to master it! Blind
Yeaaa! Love the way he spoke! I soo wish! Dialogues and training were like this! And the way he train her!;) was awsome! But she paid the price! But... Now... She can fight the darkness! In a extronary way! She became more powerful as ever!;) thats why i love this scense soo much! God!!... Thums up!
I loved that line too!!
Me, a dyslexic Jedi: “We pretend and defect.”

@@2yoked70 bruh how is that even autism, that's just being brain cell deficient and having a lisp.
@@dund614 He probably meant down syndrome. Pretty rude either way...
@@2yoked70 Memefied is correct, and I have Asperger's Syndrome.
I would love to know how much time was spent on writing this, and how many edits and re-writes there were. Because so many fan films, especially Star Wars ones, fall down by focussing too much on visuals, spectacle or action choreography but this film is one of the best out there because the script is TIGHT.
There are some truly excellent lines in this that felt 1000% in the Star Wars vein. "This is light, but it has weight" is GOLD such a perfect representation of a literally weightless lightsaber as a super OP and deadly weapon and the consequences of violence, impatience and recklessness. "In a real fight I'd be able to see" is also great foreshadowing and character-building whilst showcasing the philosophical importance of reliance on the Force vs your physical body.
Other little bits I enjoy are the use of sticks before using real lightsabers. It reminded me of how in martial arts like Aikido the movements you make with your unarmed body in combat then translate directly into also utilising your boken. If you take the time and patience to master one element of the art, you then realise how important fundamental basics are in "levelling up" to the more "exciting" tools like swords or, well, lightsabers.
I had no idea there were so many of these fan films until recently they're awesome
They're insane. They blow Disney out of the water and with a far smaller budget too
I'm usually really super cynical and nit picky about starwars fan films.
I loved this.
Same, but this actually felt like starwars!
I was really digging this too. Though the eager apprentice plotline is sort of a Star Wars cliche that tends to be used a lot in fan films, the writing here was solid and unique enough to really shine through. Excellent cinematography as well, and alongside some great performances this is one of the better fan films I've seen.
Unique writing? You know there's been blind Jedi before and episode four Luke fights a remote with the blast shield down because the force provides a kind of sight, so the fact that she's meant to be blind is about as exciting as a fish with no legs.
Toots Magoot I said "unique ENOUGH." Yeah it's got a lot of clichés, but you're seeing face value here. Welcome to Star Wars. What you are missing is that this is clearly less of a film about the usual Star Wars tropes and more about the theme of respecting the blade. While that may not blow you away, it's actually a topic that's kinda glossed over in other films where they go, "Yo this is a more civilized weapon OH LOOK a situation in which a lightsaber is convenient to whip out and swing around!" Also check out that irony. The main character believes that a lightsaber will "open her eyes" to being a Jedi, but in truth when she accidentally blinds herself she learns to see better than she ever could.
I totally get it, it's not all new. But look a little deeper than the cliché moments and you'll find some substance.
Great work, Anna! I actually put a review up on my channel of this awesome Star Wars fan film if any of you are interested in discussing it a bit further. Great work from you guys all around! I obviously gave you all a good score! :P
fuck a movie. I want Ko to get her own TRILOGY!
Liam Mckullin True
IKR...
absolutly
Shut the fuck up
The BEST star wars fan film I have seen. Unrivaled writing. Outstanding characters. Just what a Jedi should be. And the line about the saber being light but carrying so much weight, brilliant. Would love to see more of Ko Hoshino. 11/10
Its content like this that prove those in the so-called "official" directors and writer's chair should be replaced. This was so authentic it should be Canon. Loved it!
Dialogues. Actors. Story. Camera. Tension.
So impressive! This is what Star Wars should be.
7 minutes way better than 3 whole movies. Just Incredible 🙏👏
This is absolutely incredible. Top-tier production quality. It's so cinematic! It makes me want to make my own live-action fan film.
Jacob Kitts OK then watch Star wars aprantice Fan Film
I just need friends who love Star Wars
Then I would be able to make my own fan film
This was made seven years ago and I still come back to watch it now and again, just to remind myself that Star Wars does have the potential to be great
OMG ! One of the greatest SW Fan Film I have ever seen! congratulations! And as a sound designer, I tell you that the sound effects are perfect!! keep jediing!!
Strong like Yoda, looks like Satele and blind like Kanan. A Jedi of many aspects.
My go-to for the blind Jedi was Rahm Kota.
I honestly had no idea that a 7 minutes video would involve THAT many contributors!
Also, LONG LIVE ANNA AKANA!!
Toy Chest Network Thanks for watching! Production was scattered over a few dates so some crew were on some days and some were on other days. We actually never had more than 10 people on set at a time, including cast and crew!
Thanks again!!!
Still WAY more sophisticated than MY productions... LOL~ (actually weeping)
I totally enjoyed this. Thank you for putting out fantastic contents!
Thank YOU for watching and commenting!
They even got the part with the lightsaber creation perfectly right.
Well THIS is bloody amazing! What a beautifully shot film and the effects are stunning. Clearly a lot of passion when into this film. I want to see Anna Akana in all the films now! She's exceptional.
Star Wars should make Hoshino an actual character, she is amazing
Wow! Practically made me tear up when she lost her vision. Seems like she's reflecting alot on the past and what her master has taught her. Only can assume he's long dead and she's one of the last Jedi being hunted. That was a powerful short film packed with emotion ! Bravo 👏👏
I would think this one is set thousands of years before the 'official' films, before the Sith had the Rule of Two.
@@Daneelro but you could see the tie fighters in the beginning lolll so I'm pretty sure those were some kind of inquisitors or force sensitive soldiers under the empire
Not to be that guy but this was probably during the Old Republic.
The Sith came and genocided the Jedi twice before Revenge of the Sith.
I genuinely have no words to explain how incredibly well made this is.
I still come back to this video every now and then. It is so memorable and good
And now you will never know what this comment was about *just feelin a little like trolling today*
Don't do that.. Don't give me hope
“In 2018 we gave you something you didn’t like”
Yes
Honestly with a disney budget this is better than great
@@wadereynoldsdeadpool5768 jesus christ...butt hurt much?? And they never said they needed Disney's money just their budget....meaning if they had as much money as them....im starting to dislike star war community even more from this
A lot of people say this as a joke, but I say it literally: In a few minute fan film, you created a character with a more in-depth and complex motivation than the entirety of the sequel trilogy. And I don't just mean one character in the entirety of the trilogy, I mean all of the characters in the trilogy.
Um no. Some characters has some arc in the sequel. This character had a good amount, but we literally only saw seven minutes. Dont exaggerate buddy
Papon Tako Finn and Poe basically
@@Valiguss Finn, not really.... He turned from clone rebel to a stupid rebel who screams rey. Poe, I'm sorry, who was he? The only decent arc was kylo ren.
@@papontako611 and the only decent character in spite of his anger tantrums in The Force Awakens (bashes the console) and The Last Jedi (destroys his helmet)
@@papontako611 lol a clone rebel? When did he become a clone.
Such a wholesome origin story
Everything about the concepts were great, production was top notch. Love it. Being blinded by hubris and their own impatience...lessons to be learned indeeeeed.
That last moment where she ignited her saber for the first time, it gave me a chill down my spine, this is so awesome!
Finally they show someone building a lightsaber
the old way using the force
A method first created and first seen in the KOTOR games
Then described in a novel, then in a few more novels, then Galaxies MMORPG and tabletop RPGs and other licensed stuff
Then evolved into the standard lightsaber construction trope in fan films and parodies, etc
Then finally, after many years, officially canonized in Clone Wars and retconned into Return of the Jedi
There is a clone wars episode of it where Ashoka teaches the younglings
@@hanzalazafar3982 I think there was one with the Yoda too
Yeah you get your own light saber at Disneyland for $400!!! USMC 1991
It has been years and I still want a sequel.
I'm so glad CZcams has started recommending me all of these star wars fan films, they're all brilliant and this one is too.
The first time I saw this, I literally started crying in the final moments there. It was just so beautiful. Well done, truly!
Wow, thank you! Wonderful to hear!
Would you and Anna, ever consider doing another? The scene with the bats took me back to HOURS of playing KTOR. It just felt so authentic, I have to ask.
Joshua Stevens Thanks! Yeah we tried to use things established in the Star Wars universe like mynocks in a new way and context. Goal was always authenticity to SW tone and feeling. Right now we don't have plans for another but we're all working on other really exciting original projects!
Cool! Well congratts on this! Maybe it's better that way. Quality, not Quantity eh? I look forwards to your future projects. This one was amazing. Also, Maybe you can tell me. Anna was doing the Miss 5000 like an actual series at one point I thought. I saw a first episode, but then couldn't find any more. Is there anywhere you know of where I could see the rest? Or was that project cancelled?
Thanks again. This really rocked!!!
Also, just for conversation, have you seen beatdownboogie 's MARIO WARFARE? It's a live fan film that was funded on kick starter. It's basically every Known francise's hero from the NES & SNES system. Their "Classic" characters (Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, etc). It's all of them versus Bowser and his armies! Everyone has martial arts, and everyone basically has gun fu! Kind of silly, but it was done so right with such a small cast, and most of their funding went straight to flags, costumes and the like. I think you'd enjoy it! ;)

And wow -- glad you had such an emotional reaction. Means a lot. Great to hear.
I also like how you get the feeling that she's going to dispense with the Sith with relative ease. And that she knew all of them were there already.
the moment I saw Anna Akana in the picture, I knew I had to watch.
This is what star wars should look like!

Yes, I remember it ^^
Something about a blind Jedi Master is SO COOL!! Not to mention how powerful her force seems to be
jedi's use intuition not sight, also the video game Jedi knight dark forces was based off a dark Jedi with no sight due to having no eyes.
kibateo more blind Jedi Masters

And her blade was blue... Such tension. What an ending! God I love these shorts!!!! Well done
I have seen so many star wars fan films, but this surely is the best one!!
Just wanted to thank everyone for watching the film and for all your feedback! Everyone that had a hand in making the film is so appreciative and we love that this character and story resonates with so many of you!
We are in the process of creating a descriptive narration version for the visually impaired that we will post as well. If you enjoyed HOSHINO keep sharing it! The more people it finds the bigger and better we can make our next projects!
Again, appreciate the feedback and support! Means so much!
