Title: Star Wars: Revelations
Post by: Gai Daigoji on August 16, 2005, 02:16:45 pm: I just downloaded this fan-made Star Wars movie:

Website (http://www.panicstruckpro.com/revelations/revelations.html)

The full movie can now be downloaded (47mins long). Now I keep away from these things most of the time, but since it tells the story of the time between episode 3 and 4, I thought I'd give it a try.

To my suprize it is very good. I recommend that you watch it at least once, as the story is interested plus you see Vader and stuff so it cant all be that bad. :)

Post your thoughts/comments here.

Post by: Martinus on August 16, 2005, 05:11:23 pm: [color=66ff00]That was surprisingly good.

Some of the acting was a bit iffy, the female characters especially but it had the right vibe to it and the computer graphics were not silly a la the prequels. The emperor's hand in particular was a bad choice, not to be cruel but she's not very photogenic.
Other than this it was quite clever, had a sense of humour (used appropriately too) and had likeable characters. I think Declan has a lot of potential, somewhat similar to Han but not so much that you think he's a clone. As for the jedi, they're real people gasp! It makes you identify with them a bit more.

I'd say it's worthy of the download. :nod:

[color=66ff00]Why? You can't criticise a guy who enjoys abysmal acting and even worse directing. If that's what he wants then who are we to argue?

You may have actually missed my point and KT's.

*whisper*

What? Makeup?

Post by: DeepSpace9er on August 22, 2005, 06:05:07 pm: The acting was downright amateur... it screamed it actually... at one point, i thought i was watching a soap opera from the angle of the camera, the expressions, and dialouge. Graphics were pretty good... however, the actors' hair didnt look very Star Warsy... and the mens facial hair didnt seem to match Star Wars either. The male Jedi kinda looked a little like Kane with hair on his head.
