Description
Hello Everyone:
I finally finished it...its taking me a bit longer to do these animations. The most
challenging part in this one, was doing the weather effects but it was a worthwhile
challenge as I learned a few things along the way!
I want to thank "UteBigSmile" for the fantastic Darth Vader Avatar she made for me.
Ute is a very talented artist and I appreciate the time she took to do this for me.
As you all know, the short animations I make of Star Wars are are all based on
Alternate Realities. I say this so no one will be too upset in the way I use these
characters, since they don't conform to the way the Star Wars Universe exists.
These animations are made just for fun, using characters which I happen to like!
If any one of you would like to become the Predator character in one of my next
animations...just leave a comment and let me know why you will make a great
Predator. ( being a fierce brave hunter is a must..."lol") Your one requirement will
be, that you will have to work side by side with your bounty hunter partner...Boba Fett.
Thank you all for your awesome comments and support! :-)

Wow ! would be the shortest way to express my admiration but it wouldn't be enough...I'm a bit speechless...this animation is so...so...amazing ! The sounds (DV breathing, the sound of the falling rain...), the different movements, the effects, etc, etc...everything is perfect. If I was a Hollywood guy I would recruit you right now !
Awesome work! Great atmosphere and style!
Bravo JohnnyM bravo. Rolls out the red carpet lol, very well done I thoroughly enjoyed watching that. The atmospheric weather effects were awesome, it gave me those movie chills while watching it. Nicely placed together to make the viewer feel the atmosphere.
I'm looking forward to the next episode. I can appreciate the time and patience it took you to create that. Very talented :-)
OMG! it feels like you are right in there...The rain is fabulous, all the sound effects are brilliant...To listen to this in a dark room would scare anyone! You are amazing, to be able to create like this must thrill you...they should hire you, I think there is no one better! Bravo!
Those animated body movements are second to none.
Whilst I am not a fan of science fiction,
I would gladly watch this through again and again!
It really is one fabulous creation and a real credit to you!
Breathtaking animation, everything is perfect, the atmosphere, the colors the effects, absolutely everything ! You could be nominated for an Oscar at Hollywood for such an amazing work... thanks for sharing !!

Wow! As always, your animation is pixel perfect. I always enjoy your movies because you take attention to all the details. I particularly like your lighting and your sensr of humor on this one. Thanks also for the addition of the deleted scene: it was great to see how the atmosphere is important!
Frame after frame of total awesomeness my friend !!
O.....M.......G!!!! Johnny! Dude... This was AWESOME! I'm blown away with your animation skills, good sir! And I get to be LUKE! Woo-Hoo!
This is seriously cool, bro! And what a GREAT cast! More, more! ๐๐๐
Breathtaking magic, I've got goosebumps all-time long the brilliant movie. Impressive.., most impressive.
No doubts the dark-side is powerful. Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts. I love it!
Hi Johnny, just had a look in NEW ART and discovered your new video, a fascinating work of art, it's masterfully done. As soon as I feel better I will write comments again. I was happy to make the new avatar for you and I'm very glad that you like it!
incredible work! I'm stunned by the quality you've created! And thanks for mentioning me :)
A breathtaking video that takes us far from this real world under scorching hot Summer temperatures! I was amazed by what I saw and the way you animate your characters in a fabulous sci-fi environment where the repetition of certain echoeing sounds brings about a sense of , how shall I put it... cyber trance ! Wonderful artwork, my friend !
Totally Cool! The movement and enviroment are perfect.
Hi, this is amazing :) Iยดm a big fan of Star Wars since my childhood... Animation, sound, effects very well done. But one thing the walkanimation of Darth Vader (slides a bit). The breath sound is really kickass /bow. Love it!

very impressive !!!
Fantastic Johnny
Once again, I'm blow away by the quality and integrity of your superbly fine animation skills, Johnny! You are truly 'the Master' when it comes to these videos! I am completely and totally entertained and mesmerized by your fantast genius! An incredibly huge unbelievably large cargo ship filled with kudos for you on this incredible creation, my friend! I could go on and on at length with my praises, but in the interest of maintaining your sanity, I will stop here! Just one final comment, thank you so very much for sharing your talents with us here!
Extremely well done. Very outstanding quality video and sound. Fabulous rain effect. Awesome work!
Somehow I missed this one. I'm in total agreement with the other commenters before me. Way too cool...
HOT DOG! That's freakin jaw-dropping AWESOME!!!!
Just amazing. The weather effects do make it much more dramatic. I think you are a pro who is hangings out with us amateurs. :-)
You really do make some great animation shorts ..Keep up the great work...
Really cool........love it
oh people really get what you're doing, and they recognize your animation skills right away. I don't know where you got your eye, but you do these like you've been making animations and films for some time. You have such a cinematic eye. Whoosh....
Unlike your previous still, this opens with darth to the left, and this long widescreen vista of openness and haunting desolation and beauty. Your non-weathered "deleted scene" was a great contrast: That's more of a early eve/early morn mystical time of day, muted and nostalgic and mournful in feel. I like both openings. But the weathered version pulses in mood and depth. Also you opened with two billows of ink-like liquid burbling across the screen: Beautiful. If you ever see the japanese horror film "Kwaidan," It opens with ink billowing into water...you're in fine company.
When the ship enters, boom: Your cinematic eye: The ship zooms in, then zooms out. You don't seem to let an inch of video pass without filling it with cinematic motion, composition, etc. When Darth enters afterwards, you zero in on his feet and then pull back: More cinema! Entering with the feet is starting 'intimate', then pulling back to the larger view. Followed by a great image, one of your best: You turn around and we see the ship in the background, like a dark looming beast, and the people there to greet Darth. A great shot, if I can use the word. Love that angle, and the space. And you use members of the site for your characters. I love it. (Always love to see communion between artists.) And then the deleted scene. (Really: If you're gonna give deleted scenes, you gotta have full length commentaries with director, cinematographer and the lead actor...and interviews with critics, with the disgruntled producer who said it wouldn't work until he/she saw the finished product and said "it's oscar material!" We're talkin' Director's Cut here, soon to come out on 4k/UHD, for only 65 bucks! ((Hey, it's a 4 disc set---it's a steal!)) Ok, ignore my dumb jokes, but I love that you showed that deleted scene---it's beautiful in its own right.)
I've said it before, you have the "eye", Johnny. You have it. I've not seen one animation from you where you didn't show total command of visual language and expression. Another delight from you. And again, thanks so much for your kindness, it's greatly appreciated.
