I've cancelled my Disney+ prescription. I only had it for Star Wars, which they screwed up pretty well.

But I still love the Star Wars that I remembered, and it turns out so do others. Look on YouTube for Star Wars fan films. There are a ton of them. Somber, funny, sad, poignant, dramatic - all the flavors that you could hope for.

I'll be posting them here as I have time and run across them.

We'll start off with a few by SkyForge.....

This is just to whet your appetites, more to come!

We love the "For the Empire" series.
They are hilarious, the creator works very hard on these.

See also the fan made "Cad Bane" short.  The fan made costume was 10x better than the disney one.

Very cool. This giuves me similar vibes to the Astartes animation a while back, though not quite to the same level.

This is definitely the way of Star Wars and other such properties going forward. The mouse may own the name, but they don't make Star Wars, DisneyWars is depleted husk of a franchise, not even lifelike enough to be called a skinsuit.

You can see his technical progress from film to film. He should really start using AI-voice to add dialog to his shorts to create more of a story.

However, it is a shame that he's wasting all his time on Star Wars and should really branch out into his own, original, sci-fi setting. Or at least switch from the Rebel (Feminine) POV to the Empire (Masculine) POV.

I really like EC Henry's work because he has an absolutely unabashed love for Star Wars and is unafraid to do deep dives into the lore and even creating his own when he wants to. The added bonus is that his lore makes sense, unlike the Disney+ shit.

These are some ships from the original trilogy that are expanded upon.

Disney doesn't own the idea of space wizard knights with light and dark sides. You can make your own original universe. You'll be able to sell it and get money to reinvest in your work.

Love EC Henry's stuff. His biggest flex, IMO, was turning a vague smudge on the screen into a Klingon starship.

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

That's actually my favorite Klingon ship design.

 A couple of things....

1) "Space wizard knights with a light and a dark side" didn't exist before Star Wars came out.

2) The attitude that it will be the same, no matter what, is the attitude that has led the franchise to the woke written poorly received pile of shit we have now. To put it simply, the Star Wars Fan Films are the Old School Gaming approach to Star Wars without all of the DEI masturbation.

I don't give a shit. This is a cult behavior now. Let Star Wars die, kill it if you have to. Build new things elsewhere.

Thank you for your opinion. It will be filed where it is most useful.
