while i love the star war universe and as well a independent film and but even understand that this be clearly a labour of love create by fan and that doesn not exempt it from criticism . and good lord be there a lot to criticize . act . i can honestly say i have see high school production with good skilled actor or actress than what i be subject to in this short . i would not make some retarded comment about the actor physical appearance or aesthetic visual quality and as honestly that sort of idiocy be completely irrelevant ( not to mention infantile ) . what i will comment on be the fact that there really be no acting in this short and merely people read line without even an amateur understanding of the craft itself . i could barely manage to sit through the entire thing without have to fight the urge to turn it off every 5 minute . write . while the plot itself be passable and the dialogue be lucas esque in it quality level . don not misunderstand though and that not a compliment . combine with the act skill of the cast and the result be nothing short of a train wreck and could quite readily be use a a case study in how not to make a film . the one redeeming factor be in the visual effect area ( specifically in the realm of cgi ) . it quite good consider the quality level of everything else in this short . it certainly not professional level and but could easily be use a a showcase for portfolio material ( especially in the rigging and motion criterion ) . overall and i have to give the people involve in this short a hearty pat on the back for effort and especially when you consider the amount of time and effort that they obviously put forth to make something of this nature ( something not many can lay claim to ) . at the same time and time and effort do not equate to quality nor praise when the result be what look more like a garage play put on by child in cape ( with impressive cg ) . sadly and this short be only marginally bad than episode 1 3. fb .
