Im posting this while I'm downloading the movie at the moment, so I don't know if its a stinker or a major scam spoof, but it looks professional none-the-less. Supposively it takes place between episodes 3 and 4, while the jedi are being hunted:

? quoting Revelations
"Revelations? takes place between Episodes 3 and 4 of the Star Wars Saga. Emperor Palpatine's power has spread throughout the galaxy. Darth Vader is a feared figure. The Jedi are hunted fugitives. Anyone suspected of harboring Jedi or having any information about them is taken into Imperial custody.

Our heroine, Taryn Anwar, has broken way from Imperial control and is searching for an ancient Jedi artifact. Said to contain great power, it could be the key to destroying the Empire -- if she can locate it before Zhanna, the Emperor?s Hand, does. It?s a race between good and evil as the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance.

Revelations tells it's story around it's own unique characters and worlds around the Star Wars universe in which the only original star wars characters you will see from the films are, the Emperor, Vader, stormtroopers, and various aliens that makes Star Wars. "Revelations" is very unique in it own way of look and feel, yet still within the Star Wars galaxy. We wanted to make something that was our own and not a simple retelling of Star Wars, or ideas and looks that have been explored before. We tried to make a film with the things and ideas we always wanted to see.
In the end, the script went through roughly 12 revisions by the time you watch it, and some were on the fly as we tightened and tweaked the story we wanted to tell or strengthen characters and deliveries. We think the end result is a fast pace film that takes you for quite a ride. We give a lot of looks for "Revelations" that is very exciting. It's a film we wanted to make in which we do not dummy down the exposition or story, and you really have to pay attention or you will miss things. A lot happens in 40 mins!


Maybe this will hold me over till episode 3 comes out !

Ok watched it... Its the worst film I have ever seen! It's just a load of whiney yanks jibbering along in a crap plot line with s**t non-jedi jedi! Jedi don't get angry, and Jedi sense things, this film was s**t, especially the fighting, just everyone had 2 lightsabres, but not 1 woman could yeild even 1!

Don't download it, its a waste of time, and if you must, get the small 260mb version!

Granted this is an independent "film" and it had $0 for a budget. Yet, the worst part of it was the acting. I mean, if everyone was so enthusiastic that they volunteered why couldn't they spend some time making their portrayal and delivery believable? I never thought I'd say this, but, it's worse then Hayden Christensen's acting!

There were some technical problems too. Such as the cameras they used. I'm not sure what it is, because I can't remember the exact reason, probably the shutter speed. Perhaps it is the size of the film it was imprinted on, who knows. But it appears to be shot on 16mm (or something as such). Which, if you didn't know, is used for sports because it doesn't gloss over movements ... which is exactly what you want in a film. The contrast of the effects didn't help that either.

As far as I've seen all Star Wars fans are good at when making films is replicating light saber effects.

The most impressive thing by far was the space sequences ... until they showed inside the cockpit smiley [addsig]

IMO, for what it cost me to acquire the film, I think its a fabulous movie. Compared to any other SW movie its not in their league, but I have seen worse, MUCH worse in the theaters, and they do not bother to tell you are the ticket booth that it sucks either.

Anywho's, for the price, it was worth the download and the 47 minutes of view time.

I give it a rock solid 7/8 thumb up smiley

But you don't pay for, practically, any of your movies ...

You know what else took three years to make? Army of Darkness.
I'd watch that any day over this crap-fest of geeks who got their mom's JVC camcorder out and bought a bopy of after-effects and call themselves film makers. [addsig]

I... ahem. well..

We are no longer permitted to discuss my movie repertoire smiley

Seriously though, for what this movie cost anyone, it was worth the price. The story line was worth it alone. The acting was.. Well the last time I saw acting that well done was at my children's 6th grade play, BUT the story plot was well done.

I don't like it when people take major franchises and make up characters that have incredible amounts of power in their own version who in fact would be evident in the original plot ... Why didn't they make their own "Adventures of the Starkiller" movie? [addsig]

If we were not talking about "film" I would have advised you strongly to not read the Star Wars Universe books as I detected several plots from my reading within this very movie.

I stopped reading any SW books when chewy died.. Somehow, I cannot get past that. He died almost exactly like Data did.. Stupidly. smiley

And to think: Brent wrote that himself; Nemsis kicked ass though. Whatever happend to Lor? Shouldn't there be incredibly advanced androids because of her?

As far as I'm aware, half of the SW book contradict each other. They don't check them anymore or something. I don't know. I don't really care. The only ones really worth reading are the Heir To The Empire books.
