Description I can't believe it, but, here it is. To say this was a labor of love with a huge amount of challenges would be the understatement of my life, but I'm so happy to have had this experience and the opportunity to make this.

So many people to thank, but I'm literally running out the door to a family function, so I'll take care of that when I get back. In the meantime, please enjoy the video, and let me know what you thought.

Also WATCH AFTER THE CREDITS. While the scene was my idea, that line was improv from my insanely talented one-man cast. You are the man, James.

Absolutely amazing. I had to wait til I got to a PC to watch it, because it wouldn't work from my phone. But I love the story, I love the art.

Thanks! Sorry for the inconvenience, but YouTube actually won't allow me to make it mobile because it recognized a song that was copyrighted. So no mobile privileges for us. :/

Anyway thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!

Ah. Well, the music choice is worth it.

I got about halfway through, then paused it, ran outside to where my brother was trying to freak out deer at the feeder and dragged him back in to watch it from the beginning.

It was great.

He ended up admitting it was worth it. He LOVED that last line and instructed me to learn the Siren's song.

It might be just the fact of me not being a native speaker, but I couldn't really make out the siren's words... The effect was awesome though.

The voice acting is epic. XD The whole thing is pretty epic. Makes me want to try harder with my projects. =3

JoeHoganArt In reply to OKami-hu [2012-07-08 08:04:15 +0000 UTC]

You aren't wrong! Unfortunately, the song I chose gradually builds up while the dialogue softens. If I lowered the volume of the song, the earlier dialogue was just TOO loud. It was a rough decision, but I hoped the voice bubbles would help smoothen any difficult-to-hear dialogue out.

Thanks for the kind words!

OKami-hu In reply to JoeHoganArt [2012-07-08 16:25:45 +0000 UTC]

Oh, they would if you watch the video in original size. But I came across this on Tumblr, and that place squished it. Thankfully I read the comic here before, so I had an inkling. XD Besides, her speech is irrelevant. All that matters is that Fordo kills her dead. XD

That bit with Kenobi remarking that the girl might not be his type is solid gold. The animation adds a little extra to it and makes the scene delightfully hilarious. It also contrasts nicely with the otherwise tense and gloomy mood. =3

I hear you! Glad it isn't too much of a bother, then!

Thanks for the compliment! With the exception of the very last line, I didn't want there to be too much comic relief, but still thought there needed to be some. So I wanted the one joke to be a real whopper! So glad you liked it.

I've just finished this past year what I think is the longest Star Wars Fan Fiction story there is.(100 chapters)
If you are interested you can see it at www.jimneal.net.
Most of the chapters are short and action packed with illustrations of the characters and spacecraft.
I'm downloading your video as I'm writing this and will send you a comment after I watch it.
Good luck with your projects and keep loving what you do my friend.

And I hoped you liked the video! Thanks much, dude!

qzbk In reply to JoeHoganArt [2012-07-08 16:27:19 +0000 UTC]

It downloaded successfully and I'll watch it this week.
There are some character back stories in a separate section you might want to look at first before you attempt the big story. They all begin with the heading "Chapter". the rest are for a game called GASLIGHT and are separate from the star wars story.
I would love to hear your opinion.

This ought to be a canon "Clone Wars" episode, because whoever Lucas hired for the past season or so's storylines hasn't made anything as good as this! Wonderful job!
