Steampunk Star Wars - Imperial Propaganda Reel

[PolishedMonocle]

Darth Kaiser! :D

[GhostPlanetFilms]

This was awesome! I like the world that steampunk creates.

Question: How much of this is stock footage, and how much of it is shot by you?

[Roxas935]

I already bought my steampunk stormtrooper helmet.. ;)

[fairygothmother13]

Ignore the nick-picky comments, I thought it was great.

[cameraguy38]

The Avro Anson at 0.55 is displaying D-Day stripes. Don't you just love anal retentives ?..But then I guess WW1 aircraft aren't so easy to come by these days. Great video, raised a few smiles here.

[BAZOOKABELLY]

Its obviously fake cuz u spelled Real wrong

[daniel655able]

@BAZOOKABELLY U twat he means news reel

[weelittledragon]

@BAZOOKABELLY It's reel as in news reel, not real as in genuine.

[DerekClarke]

Just wonder why most of the Empire was German yet Darth Vader flies British???

[LordGosai]

@DerekClarke Because that's how the images lined up, I suppose.

[einhack]

@DerekClarke I’d say because WWI or WWII German airplanes are hard to come by for a small film such as this

[cameraguy38]

@DerekClarke They are really spoiling him.

[LocoRico89]

Dieselpunk, Star Wars and Nazis must be the coolest fusion I have ever seen! HAIL VADER! lol

[kizitoutube]

The original Star Wars trilogy IS basically using a modified Steampunk aesthetic.

In the sense that its technology, while extremely advanced, yet even back in the 70s was not portrayed in any particularly avantgarde or spacey fashion as in many sci-fi attempts of the psychedelic 60s and 70s, but rather in a down-to-earth approach utilizing elements from real-world space flight and heavy industry.

This changed in the new trilogy, which, accordingly, was criticized for stylistic incoherence.

[MariahnFulminate]

I think this is a fantastic little propaganda film and frankly the steam punk versus diesel punk argument is silly. This is a future that never was. In other words, if it looks like steam punk, pretty much it is. In any case, all the great warships and subs in the war ran on steam and nuclear subs still do so...?

[slavesacrifice666]

tis is awesome :D



[fuckupyourface]

mutant chronicles?

[SuddenStopFilms]

@fuckupyourface: Yes, I did use a short clip from "Mutant Chronicles". Good eye. ;)

[ThyDungeonman2]

Ha! Steampunk Vader! Niiice!! I'd personally like to see this made into an "abridged" movie of sorts, like how Family Guy was able to condense the movies down to 30 minutes or so. It'd certainly be an interesting trip.

[zeldafreak71]

I'd see this movie if you were making one.

[twatoast]

Video they are watching and not go off on their own bizarre rant. I liked this video it was nicely executed

[twatoast]

Can people comment on the

[DrSparrowShrike]

@veracityau well steam-punk can range from 1780 to 1920 due to the vast use of clockworks and steam engines, not to mention the dress codes and morals.The british empire wasn't disbanded until the beginning of ww2 anyway. petrol engines were still very rarely used civilly until about 1930. Diesel punk is more 1930-1960 Due of the vast use of chrome and Art deco in those decades.

[veracityau]

Wrong era. That's dieselpunk, not steampunk.

[SuddenStopFilms]

@veracityau: Not really. It's more WWI-oriented, most of what people consider "dieselpunk" is from around WW2. But since this is a fantasy world, it's really whatever we want it to be.

[zeldafreak71]

@SuddenStopFilms Personally I consider steam punk any scifi like story set in the past. Anything as far back as ancient grease to the 70s. I know steam punk is traditionally set in the victorian era but there doesn't reallly need to be then different names for something if its all the same concept.

[KryssLaBryn]

@zeldafreak71 I see what you're saying but "Steam"punk takes place when steam was the dominant technology, or in a future when it remains the dominant technology (hence dieselpunk for example not quite being the same genre). So by definition, while scifi taking place in ancient Greece would be cool, it *couldn't* be Steampunk; neither could scifi set in the historical (i.e. non-steam-powered) 1970s. :-)

[Lepper36]

@SuddenStopFilms Actually, Dieselpunk covers both World Wars.

[Doribi117]

@Lepper36 actually according to a lot of steampunk and dieselpunk fans, WW1 is the end of Steampunk WW2 is the end of Dieselpunk, usually most people consider Dieselpunk to begin in the1920s whereas Steampunk ends about 1919

[Doribi117]

@Doribi117 although now that i think about it, there really is no hard line between the two so it all depends on what that person classifies it as, but as a general rule WW1 tends to fall under Steampunk

[rockasama]

Freaking sign me up.  Let's all do our part!

[s8ntmark]

Hahaha, Nice :D

[TheRazombie]

Propaganda for what, I wonder...? o.O
