Quick thoughts -

- Where did you find the music?
- The faces and animations look better than the ones in Pts I-II. Smoother, almost. Did you upgrade The Movies or something?
- There was something vaguely comical about the two officers by the bridge window, just standing there with torpedoes flying at them.
- Very, very nice sets. Is that one ISD bridge filmed from different angles, or do you have multiple Imperial sets? I think one of the shots was an engineering bay (or something similar), but it could just have been clever camera work.

Good work

From a little known, seldom used website:

- The faces and animations look better than the ones in Pts I-II. Smoother, almost. Did you upgrade The Movies or something?

Er..no! It's exactly the same. On a 6 year old, Pentium 3 running WinME.

- There was something vaguely comical about the two officers by the bridge window, just standing there with torpedoes flying at them.

Yeah, the whole scene is pretty funny!

- Very, very nice sets. Is that one ISD bridge filmed from different angles, or do you have multiple Imperial sets?

Different angles. Someone made an ISD bridge map for me for use in Jedi Academy.

I think one of the shots was an engineering bay (or something similar), but it could just have been clever camera work.

You mean the crew pit?

Good work

Thanks!

No, the workstation with the animated ISD diagram.

No, that's toward the back of the bridge. You can see the Captain and the Imp Tech standing near it in the background while the one Imperial is staring out the window.

The Imperials shaking with laughter - have they been asked to surrender and threatened with an attack by the Sovereign's captain ?

I like it ! How many episodes in total are planned ?

Sweeet! That bridge "set" was awesome! And I agree with Bounty, the animation seemed improved for some reason.

Music sounds like the jazzed up Imperial March from Force Commander... which aside from the bugs was the only really decent Star Wars strategy game.

I have Force Commander but I never got around to playing it. I liked the scene with the torpedoes flying right at the window, it just looked pretty good.

Awesome, if everything goes as planned, when can we expect Part III to be finished?

I get the feeling that holographic guy will be important. If only I knew why he looked familiar...

Looks good Lord Poe, can't wait.

You just HAD to spend half the trailer "explaining" why everything is taking so long...

Hopefully within the next week or so.

That's Star Destroyer Impassive's Captain Neral...

You didn't want me to show every Imperial scene I filmed out of context, did you?

To put it bluntly yes I did. I would have preferred that over having half the trailer being text I couldn't possibly care less about. No offense intended, I realize doing that takes a lot of effort, time, and resources, but we already know that. I can't speak for anybody else but when I see there being a trailer, I expect a trailer. Not an editorial explaining why the actual movie might be some time in coming.
Again, Mr Poe, your time, your resources, your efforts, and you can do as you damn well please, but I can absolutely see where Darth Servo is coming from.

It's not exactly a trailer, though, but a production update. There's a few completed scenes at the end that serves as a teaser. I wanted to put something up just to assure everyone that I am still working on it.

This is looking good, makes me excited to see the full thing.

Ah. I thought he was the captain of the galaxy class Cpt. Anderson was put in command of. My mistake.

Aaaaaaaaaand, here it be!

"The Last Bastion" part 3

Just started watching- is it just me, or is the voice of the ensign on the Star Destroyer artificial?

He's got a Stephen Hawking vibe to him, doesn't he?

Lord Poe · Post by **Lord Poe** » 2007-01-13 08:17am

There's several artificial voices. They're more reliable than real people, unfortunately.

Bounty · Post by **Bounty** » 2007-01-13 08:26am

A few thoughts as I was watching:

The bridge dude's face. Hilarious.

The panicky ensign joke fell a bit flat, in my opinion, but the understated humour with the shields really worked.

What's with the crotch shot right before the captain's exit?

Of course, anyone knows that a single torpedo would have blasted that Star Destroyer apart...

He he..."cut of your..."

SCREEN WIPE!

Fart jokes? The 'plop' was funny, but seriously...

I guess it could.

If it was a complete derelict....

You've been warned about the humor level, before!

Bounty · Post by **Bounty** » 2007-01-13 08:56am

Not sure what you mean...

Right before the captain leaves there's a shot of his stomach, which looked...odd when I first saw it.

Batman · Post by **Batman** » 2007-01-13 01:09pm

I love the calm convo at the bridge windows, the Captain and his companion watching the incoming photorps achieve absolutely nothing:
'Shall we return fire, sir?'
'Ah-no, not yet anyway. Maybe if we just ignore them, they'll go away.'
