For all Star Wars fans

[saurabh]

Some incredibly dedicated Enthusiasts and apparently generous fans, artists, and the local film industry have come together to make a 47-minute feature film set in the Star Wars universe. "Star Wars: Revelations" takes place between Episodes 3 and 4 of the Star Wars Saga. Watch it. I have just downloaded my copy.

Holy Crap! 242MB DL!

I'm at 25% with my DSL connection...
I'll watch it in the morning when it finishes...(80kbps DL speed from the site I'm using)...

[saurabh]

Excellent effects and a good overall effort...................enjoy!!!!!!

[Sithlord]

The effects were fantastic even if the acting was average. But great effort all round.

[David Meek]

Cool! But a 5-hour download???? That'll be a fire-n-forget tonight. :

Should we really be watching this before seeing Episode III? Will it spoil anything?

[junior77blue]

Well, i'm guessing there's not much to spoil...we already know how its gonna end...based on episode 4,5 & 6...

[David Meek]

The ONLY problem with prequels.

[Nick M]

Watched it.

I'd say acting was on-par with Hayden Christensen's, so it's not too much of a departure... :rofl:

Some effects were good, others were lame.

Not really impressed, sorry. :B

Downloading right now...

[saurabh]

it took me 15-20 min to download at 186 Kbps download speed :E , and dont worry it has nothing that will spoil the fun of the upcoming release, its just an effort made by some people.

Comment from the production team

You would be pleased to know, that Zap (our compositing wizard) has started a bittorrent of the DVD .iso files. You'll find that the DVD's audio is superior to the .WMV or .MOV encoding. Sadly, there was a flub with the video render, so it's a bit aliased -- especially noticable during the CG scenes. It's still watchable, though it can get a bit distracting. (Much as I'd love to bug Shane to re-encode the DVD video, he's indicated clearly that he's done done DONE with Revelations, and I can't say I blame him one bit!)

The .iso files make up a two-disc set. One disc contains the movie (including subtitles, director and VFX comments), the other contains about an hour and a half of behind-the-scenes stuff. Get 'em here:

Note that due to the huge huge size, these images are available through torrent only. Once you have 'em, feel free to burn as copies as you want and pass them around.

I've got to give props to the people that created this. Anyone that expects this to be on the same level as a professionally made Star Wars movie is just setting the bar way too high.

Great effort by the enthusiasts. I enjoyed it for what it was, and was very impressed with the CGI for something at this level.

what the hell was that
the only thing worth watching in the whole movie was the affects
thank god i have a 1 mb dsl if i had to wait too see that i would have died and died again
sorry saurabh did not mean to upset your mood you seemed very enthusiastic about it
those girls whats up with that girl coming down the stairs i bet they casted her from some circus ....and the other girl's nose she could of yoused her nose instead of the Light saber .... but i ll tell you one thing those girls must have guts of steel to be on a movie looking like that ...

if i know i am going to be on any movie the first thing ill do is make sure to go on some diet if i was as fat as those girls... i would look my best before showing my body looking like that ...forget it

and if not a diet she could of atleast powdered her nose...

Heheee... while I think the comments are funny, I still think we're putting WAY too many expectations on an amateur home video project.

If any of us made an amateur movie project, (which you'd probably want to appear in yourself, if you're going to go to the trouble) and got some studio help with special effects, I think you'd be stunned if you let people see it on the net and they just bashed you for trying.

I really don't think the film makers believed this was going to be a cinema-quality flick or anything, on par with the other 6 Star Wars episodes.

[saurabh]

:lol: well yes, I also had the same first thoughts as amadeo has, but then I wasnt expecting Paris hilton on the movie or pamela anderson and match the acting skills of Julia roberts (she good looking too). Its their efforts which are commendable to pull up a project like this.

If this is what I saw on May 19th, then yea I'd be pretty pissed. On the other hand since this was done by a few fans and was a FREE download, you got to be somewhat impressed with their efforts. Hey, even the story was decent IMO.

Hey, it could be worse...it could be this:
