Revelations

Just got round to watching the Star Wars Revelations "film-ette" which i grabbed off the Torrents a few weeks back. Basically the film has been made by Star Wars fans and contains their own characters and plotlines within the Star Wars universe. Our chum Lord Vader makes an appearance too and manages to choke a man using the force (never seen that done before!) and there are plenty of Stormtroopers and Jedi thrown in too. You might expect that this would be total crap. But it is'nt! Even the special effects are good! A space battle between the Jedi and some Tie Fighters is excellently done and would looks better than the effects in the early series of Babylon 5! Lightsaber battles galore between "the baddies and the goodies" are also well done, if a little choreographed. All in all - very impressive. Although fat, beared or goatee wearing Jedi so look a little out of place. Download the full film from the Star Wars Revelations Website.

I agree. The special effects for the time were amazing! I remember reading all about it in my Amiga User magazine. I think the first series was rendered on a bank of Amigas? Was'nt it?
