BRILLIANT animation, awesome adventure, excellent characterization on han, + a fun little retcon (which makes sense. it always blows my mind when i remember palpatine + jar jar share a home planet).
it would have been amazing to see it in 3D.
i know it takes ages, + is a lot of difficult, thankless work, but i must ask...
any more star wars animations in teh pipeline..? <=0)
Sheesh lighten up people. Im a diehard star wars fan too but you dont see me making all these nonsensical corrections. They did a fantastic job on the film and all you guys couldnt have done any better. Who cares if the millenium falcon didnt have this or that, or if in the canon time line this or that didnt happen... I loved it Very nice ending considering im a true star wars fan and hate the prequels.
With many actors getting too old for the parts they've played in the past, this would be a great way for them to reprise the roles they're know for. Harrison Ford wants to do a fifth Indiana Jones, and it might be a good idea to go the cg route with that.
Awesome, I had the privilege of being the motion capture artist for Han Solo. The group that produced this is great to work for. I'd love to do another.
Very VERY good i love it! but i must say. to be all technical, the Millenium Falcon did not have an opening in the front between the two mandibles, At that location was a missile launcher, ALSO the Dejarikk game table (leisure bay) was located more to the right of the ships interior infrastructure. All in all great job.and @ loosifr Hand solo recieved the millenium falcon(YT-1300) from Lando Calrissian. Lando bet the ship on a game of pezzak and lost...and han added the radar dish and some mods
@DOMMYO except the Falcon didnt originally have the missle launcher there. One of the Han Solo books makes a point of mentioning having just added the missiles. So prior to that change there could have been storage or a multi-purpose room there.
A voice actor named John Armstrong. He also voiced Han and Indian Jones in several LucasArts video games including The Staff of Kings and Empire at War and Battlefront
per phantom menace. palpatine didnt meet jar jar till he was brought to coracasnt. valorum was still chancelor of the senate. palpatine was up against organa for the chancelorship....organa and palpatine were colegues in the senate
@226shelmus With all due respect, that's inaccurate. Per Phantom Menace, Palpatine was up against a senator from Alderaan, but his name was Bail Antilles. They are not the same person.
This is great, reminds me of those old Han Solo novels I used to read ages and ages ago! That's good source material for the crew that put this all together!
@Loosifr Nope, Jabba put a price on Han's head because he dumpped his cargo at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser...(All revealed in Star Wars Episode IV) The original story was that it was a shipment of spice, but the DAVE school folks put a very cool twist on the story.
@MovieMagicMaster you'll have to look at the Wookiepedia though I do know that it is similiar to crack with a steriod effect in real life, at least thats what I read in one book, but wookiepedia should give you better details.
@226shelmus JarJar knew Palpatine 10 years longer than Bail Organa nor Mon Mothma. Jar Jar would have technically been a successor of sorts to Palpatine as they served in the same office as Senators from Naboo. Jar Jar would be in a position and privy to certain information that could expose Palpatine. For those reasons he would have been valuable to the Rebel Alliance. Keeping any damning information out of Rebel hands would be enough reason for the Empire to track him down.
@DisneyFanReview All except for the gaping plot hole that Jar Jar Binks was a complete moron - good for nothing except seat warming. I mean, seriously! You couldn't trust him to wipe his own bum.
@226shelmus Are you kidding? Palpatine would want to tie up loose ends anywhere he could. Jar Jar is a loose end. A former junior senator of the Galactic Senate and is one of the few witnesses to Palpatine's rise to power from his days in Naboo(not that he was ever smart enough to put it together). He is also probably the only person alive, other than Obi-Wan, who knows that Anakin used to be a giant wuss. All together would probably make him a valuable target.
Thanks for all the great comments. There are no more planned shorts like this. I am however doing other stories and if you like this, you should check them out.
Okay, screw Clone Wars, it was good at first but the stories are wearing thin. Can THIS be a series? PLEASE?? Just these five minutes were better than all the prequels because HAN SOLO > Anything in Star Wars post 1983 (Well, except maybe Kyle Katarn...). Okay, end of rant.
Come on people, better than Clone Wars...? REALLY? Think twice about what you're saying before you throw words out that carry no weight or logic behind it.
THIS was VERY well done. Lucas should hire you to do a animated series set between and after Episodes 4,5 and 6. Is there more, or is this the only one? Is there a game version coming out of this as well? As for the comments about STAR WARS- THE CLONE WARS- there have been a few episodes that I'm not happy with (Manilorians are different than comic and video games), but overall, it's using the time set between Episodes 2 and 3 very well. Could be interesting to see something set after Episode 3.
Wow... that was fantastic. Kudos to the creator! I agree with one of the previous comments in that it captured the spirit of the characters as well as the voice. Well done.
WOW... This actually captured the spirit of the character of Han Solo and Chewy.. I wonder how this will work out in an 25 minute show for a whole season but as a side story in series this would really really really work out very good. It's not as cartoony/kiddy as Clone Wars but in my opinion it could still "man up" a little bit. Much Kudos to this!!!
A few years ago there were rumours going around about an animated Star Wars series. I hoped that it would be set in the original trilogy but instead we got Clone Wars. Which isn't a bad show, it's just not the most interesting period of the Star Wars time line.
This on the other hand was alot of fun and I'd love a series like this.
The hand held camera effect was very cool and the animation it top notch.
I just realized it was non-cameo and feel like a sad smartass, :P
This is still amazingly done, and I was WOWED since I first saw this. Seriously, I would be thrilled if they did animations like this with the Star Wars books.
However, this didn't actually happen in the books...at least not about "THE cargo" that Han dropped and made Jabba so mad. ..
In the books, he was outrunning an Imperial Customs Ship in the Kessel System. As he outran it, he was trapped by Imperial ships that appeared right in front of him. He dropped the cargo, and let them inspect him. He had rescued kids on Ylesia,and with them on board, they called him a war hero, and imps escorted him to Corellia,cargo behind
I really enjoyed it, and really appreciate all those with their skills who keep Star Wars alive. Not only that, but for a school project, what an a great career those who put this together may have in their future. Just hope you always make some time to keep doing Star Wars!!
I thought this was absolutely fantastic! The animations were excellent and everything looked really good especially the explosions. I thought the voice actors were amazing as well. The only problem I had with it was when Han started talking when IG-88 look alike opened the bay doors. There's no oxygen, so how would he be able to breathe, let alone talk?
But besides that little error, everything was great. I really loved it! How long did it take to make?
OK, if there was no air, he wouldn't be being blown toward the airlock. so there WAS air, although less every second. If you need some little error to spoil it for you, then let it be the fact that it would only take 1 or 2 seconds to drain the whole cabin through a port that size. or of course, you could be mad over the fact that they somehow have gravity in outer space, or any number of other things.
Or is it just that you always need some little thing to spoil it for you?
Han Solo looked horrible but his voice acting was pretty good. Amusing flick non the less. It would be cool to see a cartoon TV show set after the originals, I am sure they could get Mark Hamil to do the voice acting for Luke :D They just better get a new Han!
This is amazing! I hope this becomes a series when Clone Wars ends! Who ever made this should also do an Indiana Jones Short! I've always thought they could do a great cartoon spin off of Indy and they already have the voice actor to do it!
YES! When I saw it was Jar Jar, I nearly died of laughter! XD LOL And it actually does give the real reason (cannonically) for the bounty Jabba set on Han in "Rebel Dawn" (Han Solo Trilogy) Anyways, that was pretty doggone EPIC. The part when the Falcon was losing air reminded me of Firefly. I noticed however, that Han was VERY lanky... and... almost anorexically skinny... oh well. Beggers can't be choosers, eh? The voice acting for Han was amazing, too. I seriously wondered if they got Ford.
I'd L♥VE to see THIS become a regularly scheduled program, like The Clone Wars, except "original trilogy" based, I WANT TO SEE MORE!!! They did such a superb job!!! I can't believe it's a "student" "fan film"!!! From the voice actor NAILING Harrison Ford's Han Solo voice "spot-on"... to the comical ending w/THEE 2nd WORST THING TO'VE EVER HAPPENED TO SW: JarJarBinks...justifiably FROZEN in carbonite! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moral of the story: at least Palpatine doesn't get a free Carbonite statue of the idiot who allowed him to be the powerful madman he is today. Oh well...so much for the better. Great short BTW.
I loved it :P and the way the voice actor played Han was superb. got all of Harrison's little nuances down. can us fans look forward to any more star wars shorts? =3
Funny how he says "I'll never work for the Empire" but the story of how he met chewie was that he actually worked for the Imperials and hijacked a ship transporting wookies out of their homeworld, really it should be "I'll never go back to the empire!".. other than that I LOVED it, I hope George Lucas sees this and understands THIS is what we wanted!
@mrcyberpunk "The story of how he met Chewie was that he actually" was adopted as a child and raised by Wookiees on Kashyyyk. Thee events you've mentioned happened WAY later.
Wouldn't it be awesome of Lucas gave us some of the expanded universe like this.. I would love to see Courtship of Princess Leia or the Thrawn Trilogy done like this.
Too bad its not canon, this is not what happens in the book Rebel Dawn, which is canon, but they wanted to make things exciting. In the book they dump the spice in a hidden spot when they see the patrol and then are searched and let go and are forcefully escorted someplace else. When they return to the place they dumped it is simply gone and lost. Jabba was under the influence of drugs when they tried to explain what happened and he wouldn't listen, just demanding compensation.
This would definitely be a series "must watch" for me. They have a Episodes I-III era show, why not this? Hope Lucas is paying attention. They could probably even get Harrison Ford to do Han's voice.
@Rizzano - "They could probably even get Harrison Ford to do Han's voice" ...
Right... because Harrison Ford is low on money, and has lots of time to kill? I'd love to see an OT-era TV show like any other Star Wars fan, but I wouldn't hold my breath for any original cast members to voice it.
i THINK THE NEW STAR WARS SERIES SHOULD START WITH r.a. sALVATORES FIRST yUZON vONG BOOK, THE ONE WHERE CHEWBACA DIES, EVERY ONE IS EXACTLY THAT OLD RIGHT NOW AND IT WOULD MAKE ANOTHER 6-9 FILMS EASY....GARY OLDMAN AS NOM ANOR!! MILA JOVOVICH AS MARA JADE LUKE SKYWALKERS WIFE, MEBE, JUST MEBE JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AS JACEN SOLO/DARTH CADEUS....
@greymobvmp: "Pretend" SW fans really aren't allowed to give suggestions for movies that don't , & never will, exist . The live action movies are DONE !! Also, if you can't freaking spell it then shut the hell up, IE: Yuuzhan Vong. Everyone is exactly that old right now, you must be using the "new math" because your numbers don't add up. Han is 53 when the NJO begins, Harrison Ford is 68 right now. Luke & Leia are 44 at the beginning of the NJO while Mark is 59 & Carrie is 54.
@JediDude38 Ahh cmon man, they all look just like they do now in the books starting there, Bob Salvatore made sure of it, Condolences to Carrie fisher on her poppa's passing...alll those other books should at themost be made into a tv showe or somthing except the han sol trilogy ect and the thrawn books, those should all be baddass wrath of kahn type movies...ooohhhh yeeahhh...
@greymobvmp: Have you seen Carrie Fisher lately? If you took all the metal in her metal bikini from ep VI you might have enough to cover one boob, nothing more. There are 26 books between the NJO until the time when Jacen becomes Cadeus. You are just as free to have an opinion as I or anyone else is ... BUT ... when that opinion is as flawed as this one is it needs to be forgotten.
@JediDude38 your a real disrespectful dipshit huh? you cant have a conversation without having a negitive overtone to everything you opine? no wonder your life sux-i dont have to know you to know your type, proly kill yourself if you ever get the balls, i hope a bird shits on you, go talk to someone who will put up with your bullshitt(mom,dog,retarded boyfrind ect..)you aint green lighting any films anyways so fuck off and smile...Aloha Oi!
@greymobvmp: when I'm talking to an moron like you who doesn't show a shred of respect for the subject matter they are talking about "negative overtone", you spelled that wrong too dim wit, is the best I can do and more than you deserve. Do you know that they done a lot of studies on people like you, someone shows you up and all you have to respond with is the typical BS that you have here ... BTW, YOUR type isn't my type, be nice and let the dog have a night off tonight OK ....
@greymobvmp: I don't know, maybe in the twisted and sick world you live in but for me all it stands for is that I was 38 when I opened this account ... Have you got anymore dip shit insults to make? I can't image that they would be any better than these pathetic attempts ... find a wormhole and jump in.
@JediDude38 hay fag, you're 38 and you're arguing in the comments of a fucking faggy Star Wars cartoon. Tell me the science behind a lightsaber and I'll tell you what a woman's vagina feels like.
that was awsome and great job to the crew, but i think it would fun to see jar jar binks getting carbinated for once, i wish i would of thought of that but why would the hutt want jar jar? oh nevermind the hut loves to desinge his crib with class. well i can't wait to see more and
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! STOP SAYING "I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS" IT DOESNT GET ANY COOLER, IT IS THE MOST STALE OVER USED LINE IN STAR WARS, SAY ANYTHING ELSE!!! JESUS CHRIST
@Therendien me too.clone wars is ok but i miss the dialogue that made the original movies really damn good.where charcters didnt speak in a 1400 century english demeanor.the clone wars action is way too over the top.crazy amounts of lightsabers.no one carries a pistol, like han, they all have huge rifles n' stuff.everything is polished nothing is "used space" anymore.its ok but not good enough
Screw the prequels and the clone wars; they should have star wars go back to its roots. X-wing versus Tie Fighter. Rebel Troops versus Imperial Troops.
@Iffy350 your statement is blasphemy my friend and lord vader is not pleased about it. speaking as a true starwars fan the prequels were absoulutley needed to tell the saga, and the prequels were great also
@anathemaish: Pick any book of the Thrawn Trilogy and it will be better than any of the prequel trilogy movies. The Last Command is better than A New Hope.
Nice to see a well scripted work. Nice Lightwave 3D Animations sad Chewie did not use any Lightwave fur System or Worle's sasquatch. Anyways probably the best D.A.V.E school Short i have seen til now.
BRILLIANT animation, awesome adventure, excellent characterization on han, + a fun little retcon (which makes sense. it always blows my mind when i remember palpatine + jar jar share a home planet).
it would have been amazing to see it in 3D.

I thought this was absolutely fantastic! The animations were excellent and everything looked really good especially the explosions. I thought the voice actors were amazing as well. The only problem I had with it was when Han started talking when IG-88 look alike opened the bay doors. There's no oxygen, so how would he be able to breathe, let alone talk?
But besides that little error, everything was great. I really loved it! How long did it take to make?

OK, if there was no air, he wouldn't be being blown toward the airlock. so there WAS air, although less every second. If you need some little error to spoil it for you, then let it be the fact that it would only take 1 or 2 seconds to drain the whole cabin through a port that size. or of course, you could be mad over the fact that they somehow have gravity in outer space, or any number of other things.
Or is it just that you always need some little thing to spoil it for you?

Han Solo looked horrible but his voice acting was pretty good. Amusing flick non the less. It would be cool to see a cartoon TV show set after the originals, I am sure they could get Mark Hamil to do the voice acting for Luke :D They just better get a new Han!

This is amazing! I hope this becomes a series when Clone Wars ends! Who ever made this should also do an Indiana Jones Short! I've always thought they could do a great cartoon spin off of Indy and they already have the voice actor to do it!

YES! When I saw it was Jar Jar, I nearly died of laughter! XD LOL And it actually does give the real reason (cannonically) for the bounty Jabba set on Han in "Rebel Dawn" (Han Solo Trilogy) Anyways, that was pretty doggone EPIC. The part when the Falcon was losing air reminded me of Firefly. I noticed however, that Han was VERY lanky... and... almost anorexically skinny... oh well. Beggers can't be choosers, eh? The voice acting for Han was amazing, too. I seriously wondered if they got Ford.

I'd L♥VE to see THIS become a regularly scheduled program, like The Clone Wars, except "original trilogy" based, I WANT TO SEE MORE!!! They did such a superb job!!! I can't believe it's a "student" "fan film"!!! From the voice actor NAILING Harrison Ford's Han Solo voice "spot-on"... to the comical ending w/THEE 2nd WORST THING TO'VE EVER HAPPENED TO SW: JarJarBinks...justifiably FROZEN in carbonite! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny how he says "I'll never work for the Empire" but the story of how he met chewie was that he actually worked for the Imperials and hijacked a ship transporting wookies out of their homeworld, really it should be "I'll never go back to the empire!".. other than that I LOVED it, I hope George Lucas sees this and understands THIS is what we wanted!

Too bad its not canon, this is not what happens in the book Rebel Dawn, which is canon, but they wanted to make things exciting. In the book they dump the spice in a hidden spot when they see the patrol and then are searched and let go and are forcefully escorted someplace else. When they return to the place they dumped it is simply gone and lost. Jabba was under the influence of drugs when they tried to explain what happened and he wouldn't listen, just demanding compensation.

This would definitely be a series "must watch" for me. They have a Episodes I-III era show, why not this? Hope Lucas is paying attention. They could probably even get Harrison Ford to do Han's voice.

@Rizzano - "They could probably even get Harrison Ford to do Han's voice" ...
Right... because Harrison Ford is low on money, and has lots of time to kill? I'd love to see an OT-era TV show like any other Star Wars fan, but I wouldn't hold my breath for any original cast members to voice it.

MILA JOVOVICH AS MARA JADE LUKE SKYWALKERS WIFE, MEBE, JUST MEBE JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AS JACEN SOLO/DARTH CADEUS....

@greymobvmp: "Pretend" SW fans really aren't allowed to give suggestions for movies that don't , & never will, exist . The live action movies are DONE !! Also, if you can't freaking spell it then shut the hell up, IE: Yuuzhan Vong. Everyone is exactly that old right now, you must be using the "new math" because your numbers don't add up. Han is 53 when the NJO begins, Harrison Ford is 68 right now. Luke & Leia are 44 at the beginning of the NJO while Mark is 59 & Carrie is 54.

@JediDude38 Ahh cmon man, they all look just like they do now in the books starting there, Bob Salvatore made sure of it, Condolences to Carrie fisher on her poppa's passing...alll those other books should at themost be made into a tv showe or somthing except the han sol trilogy ect and the thrawn books, those should all be baddass wrath of kahn type movies...ooohhhh yeeahhh...
greymobvmp 1 year ago
@greymobvmp: Have you seen Carrie Fisher lately? If you took all the metal in her metal bikini from ep VI you might have enough to cover one boob, nothing more. There are 26 books between the NJO until the time when Jacen becomes Cadeus. You are just as free to have an opinion as I or anyone else is ... BUT ... when that opinion is as flawed as this one is it needs to be forgotten.
