Star Wars: Revelations

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:

Revelations said:
"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 :biggrin: !

sad, you knew about this and didn't post it?

bit torrent would be the way to go though.. why are you having troubles?

my problem. my new PC is the only one with 3.5 gigs free, and it has no bit torrent. i have to get it via ftp.

Theres an ftp of it too? Bit Torrent is low on seeds, thats why its slow- theres like 2000 people trying to get it and only 1 nice guy sharing!

if you have a firewall, thats your problem.. not seeds.

and yes, there is an ftp.. read the fine print..

i am at 2.1 gigs and 80k per :smile:

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 :rolleyes:

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 :smile:

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.

I... ahem. well..

We are no longer permitted to discuss my movie repertoire :biggrin:

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?

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. :sad:

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.

[/geekmode]

The only Star Wars author I ever got into was Michael A. Stackpole with
his rogue squadron series. I remember devouring those in middle
school.

Zahn RULZ..

but to my knowledge, the SW universe must conform. No book can contradict another. That was a stipulation when they opened the doors to new books.. Remember, there were no books after "Splinter of the minds eye" until recently. Recently as in from then till now. There was a very big gap between them.

Of course, I could be wrong, but.. I don't think so.

Yeah, but I thought they stopped checking them. Because I remember books on Darth Vader and how he needs to wear the suit because of years spent in dark side temples (or whatever, it was explained to me) and that contradicts the films. As far as I can tell. We'll know in a couple weeks, right?

Zahn's books are the only one's I've even attempted to read, overall they're excellent. I would want Lucas to make VII, VIII, and IX if he did those three books ... somewhat.

you could be right, as i said, i stopped reading them when chewy died.

it was my understanding that they had to mesh. anyways.. since so many come out in so short a time frame sometimes, there could very well bee some error's

i would like to say that even though my favorite is Zahn, there are some others almost as good. you should seek them out.

the series that dealt with chewy dying was about the children of the Solo's.. very good stuff. they seem to have much of the skywalker gene's.. poor solo, his gene's didn't do a thing for them :razz:

I never cared about their kids ... ever. However, Mara and Luke's kid(s) would be a different story! I have no idea if they had kids or not though ...

You know, I'm going to stop showing how much I know about the SW universe ... I feel it may be incriminating.

Perhaps the Emperor's Hand can practice using her appendages on Luke's manhood and avoid procreation. :dodgy:

and, you seem no more or less informed than I about the SW universe, so if you catch hell, so will I. :heee:

Hey, I thought Army of Darkness was great! You have to understand that
movie was made in 1993 and effects back then were not as advanced as
todays. :razz:

And anyways Bruce Campbell kicked ass in it.

|EDIT| Whoops I just noticed you were not bashing it Crono. Nevermind my comment then. |EDIT|

Damn straight.

Also, face it, those effects are terrible, however, I wouldn't accept good effects ... ever, not with "Evil Dead" in the name. It just wouldn't be the same.

Does everyone forget Jurassic Park came out in 1993? I mean ... to be honest, most of what's in that movie is rather hard to tell unlike many recent movies. I think it still has amazing CGI, especially for its time.
