The Last Bastion part 4: Teaser Trailer

[Lord Poe]

Here it is:

The Last Bastion part 4: Teaser Trailer

It's just like the other ones; no actual footage from LB4, absolutely zero reference to the plot of LB4.

Enjoy!

[NecronLord]

For sanity's sake tell me they've not claimed automatic doors were inspired by Trek...

And... Some 'tard accusing you of venting your obvious 'being Darth Maul and murdering innocent bystanders' fantasies in five... four...

[Ryushikaze]

I liked it a lot. My only complaint is that with all the references to Get Smart, I was expecting some sort of overt callback to it in the end. Otherwise, pretty good.

[darthbob88]

I'll second Ryushikaze, and add my complaint that it's still coming soon?!

[Lord Poe]

For sanity's sake tell me they've not claimed automatic doors were inspired by Trek...

I've heard it before. Even though I'm certain the local supermarket had them before Trek went on the air.

And... Some 'tard accusing you of venting your obvious 'being Darth Maul and murdering innocent bystanders' fantasies in five... four...

Oh, if I had a lightsaber...

I liked it a lot. My only complaint is that with all the references to Get Smart, I was expecting some sort of overt callback to it in the end. Otherwise, pretty good.

Nah, this was made to piss off two groups of people specifically; the idiots at Spacebattles, and that silly kid, "Dantelionheart", or whatever he calls himself.

It'll be even longer now. I got carried away with the teaser. There's more greenscreen stuff going on in it than you would realize, but it was a good test.

[Wyrm]

Excellent, as always. I like where this is going.

And... Some 'tard accusing you of venting your obvious 'being Darth Maul and murdering innocent bystanders' fantasies in five... four...

Oh, if I had a lightsaber...

You'd shake down crotchety old grandmas for their social security checks?

(Darth Maul comes in with double-bladed lightsaber glowing.)

JOKE! JOKE!

[Ryushikaze]

Nah, this was made to piss off two groups of people specifically; the idiots at Spacebattles, and that silly kid, "Dantelionheart", or whatever he calls himself.

Oh, no, I totally got that. I'm just saying that it seemed like a wasted opportunity not to toss a Get Smart related joke in there somewhere. But this is but a minor quibble with otherwise superb work.

[Bounty]

I was half-expecting Maxwell to burst in and hit Maul.

[Jericho Kross]

Got to love Darth Maul!

[Lord Poe]

I was half-expecting Maxwell to burst in and hit Maul.

"There's 3 million clone soldiers outside that door now."

"Would you believe, 2 million?"

"How about a jawa with a sharp stick?"

[Darth Servo]

It's just like the other ones; no actual footage from LB4, absolutely zero reference to the plot of LB4.

Then, um, how can it be a "teaser"? Isn't a teaser supposed to give you a small sample of the real thing and leave you wanting more?

Not that I disapprove of smacking that "better than last bastion" tard around.

[NecronLord]

It's a teaser because he posts these, and makes us all think that he's done, but really, he's just teasing his audience.

[Lord Poe]

Oh, boo-hoo. The Traviss articles took a lot of time away from the project, but they had to be done. And do you know what a bitch it is to deal with actors?

I'll post some pictures from the set when I get home.

"How about a jawa with a sharp stick?"

"Don't tell me that SW ships can output gigatons of power, with one shot."
"They can, and that's one of their smaller ships."
"I asked you not to tell me that."

Not to mention having one of the Imperials comment that he "missed it by that much."

Oh, this is just too cute:

You are hereby required to either edit the offending scenes or remove the video entirely.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Since when does Youtube use a gmail account?

I'd love to see Mr Dante's licensing agreement where he can claim Star Trek ships and designs are his "intellectual property".

Anyway, here's a couple shots:



One of the greenscreen stages where the Star Destroyer and Trek bridges are filmed.



Yup, another same-sex marriage on the ISD bridge. This pose is great for conversation scenes. Until the bride and groom kiss..



Ooh...what happened here?

[Fingolfin_Noldor]

Huh.. since when do the felons at Youtube dare to claim that they actually own any of the material they made? If they want to pursue copyright law, they will have to tangle with paramount. What the hell?

How are you going to reply?

I'm not! It's from that idiot Dantelionheart, one of the people I insult in the video.

[General Deathdealer]

Did he actually think he was going to fool you into believing he was from youtube with that stupid ass e-mail address of his? Can we say dumbass?

Also, I thought the trailer was awesome.

Tell him to suck it down. Can't stand self righteous morons of that variety.

[CaptHawkeye]

To think they were accusing US of slandering information and lieing to people.

[Darth Servo]

Hasn't that idiot emailed you before? Can you verify that its the same address he used previously?

I'd love to see Mr Dante's licensing agreement where he can claim Star Trek ships and designs are his "intellectual property".

I'd like to know exactly which scenes he's talking about. IIRC, LB part 4 teaser only has the two guys talking about his crappy video.

Anyway, I suggest a response similar to what Mike gave to Nicholas Fritto when he made similar legal threats.

Ooh...what happened here?

Has Han Solo been trying to "hotwire" Imperial crap again?

[FedRebel]

Watch it again, on the 'computer' you see a GCS in drydock, that's from Better than Bastion

[NecronLord]

Oh, boo-hoo. The Traviss articles took a lot of time away from the project, but they had to be done. And do you know what a bitch it is to deal with actors?

That was a joke, not a complaint.

[Surlethe]

Love it! Especially the part where Darth Maul bursts in the door. Although, that ISD is a little small, isn't it?

Throw his shit back at him. Send him an email claiming to be from Youtube, saying that he will cease and desist using Youtube's name when he is not their lawful representative.
