THE LOST RELIC - A Star Wars Story | (2023) (Fan Film) 4K

Wow! What a warm welcome for our short! Thank you all for your support. We didn't expect that, but SW community is definitely amazing! 🔥 Very glad that you love the narrative idea of The Lost Relic. Our purpose was to gather the different Star Wars periods, and also fans from all horizons, from the original to the sequel! We grew up with the prelogy that we loved as children, then we discovered originals that we loved too, and today, we enjoy a lot of Disney's creations like Andor, Mandalorian, and Rogue One. This last one inspired us a lot in our creative process for the Lost Relic. We loved the idea of filling a gap in the storytelling as Rogue One brilliantly did between III and IV. Please note that we don't earn any money with this short (no crowdfunding or YouTube money), it's only made with our personal funds, as a hobby, from fans to other fans ✌ Star Wars is an infinite universe, and so many stories are still to be told! Take care, and MTFBWY 🙏

Gorgeous production, you guys should be so proud. This stands out as one of the prettiest fan productions I've ever seen. I love how restrained the script is. Lovely effects, charismatic actors. And you've done a lovely job uniquely framing your story. The archive bits are my favorite and obviously a labor of love. Super happy to be one of the first people to see it, hope it gets the exposure it deserves!

The visuals for this short film are absolutely amazing. SO well done! Congratulations to all involved.

The way you introduced these two lost relics (the band itself, and then the content the band had; the mask itself), by: 1). actually starting from a relic context; an archive 2). tell a story about an actual relic 3). and then at the end tie the story together in the same archive .. .. with the punchline to give the name of the relic in the inventory, the same name as the entire film itself!! Girls and guys in production (inside and outside): Hats off to you all. PS: Jean Cordier, I loved you from the very beginning 0:46

Cool to see a backstory of how the Empire/First Order acquired the melted Vader Mask. Nicely done, thanks.

13:55 minutes of excellence. This by far was a very well made SW's, Fan short movie. I like the opening & ending with the employee working in the film department, who accidentally stumbles across an old movie film and views the missing footage of SW that director GL, supposedly cut out of SW's ROTJ part 6 and picks up in SW's The Force Awakens, part 7. Then titles the film, SW: The Lost Relic. We get to see how Kilo Ren got his Grandfathers distorted Vader mask. The actors even though short screen time nailed their performances, they were believable & interesting. This was SW, i consider this SW canon. Who needs Hollywood, when you have small independent movie teams, that can bring forth a movie better than the so called pros in today's modern entertainment industry. 😃

Chapeau !!! As I wrote on Facebook, this fan film touches me like no other so far! As a filmmaker, the attention to detail and the presentation of all the props hits me right in the heart and the visual effects could have come straight from the ILM forge. As a big fan of the making-ofs, the opening scene alone has me gushing! I take my hat off to Third Gate Production and express my deepest respect for them. And what a funny coincidence: We'll be at ComiC Con next weekend with our own booth, and it will look exactly like Your storage room. We even have some film canisters on display as decoration. I think I'll write "The Lost Relic" on one of the canisters with sticky tape, Easter eggs are great in real life too :-)

Incredible work! Lots of humor and action combined into something great! Perfect backstory for Vader’s helmet and what happened to it. Keep up the amazing films and have a great day.

When a fan film is doing a better job than Disney! Loved it!

This is by far the best star wars fan film i have ever seen in my life. When that imperial officer died, i cried for the first time because of an imperial.

Fans are so much better at this than Hollywood. With far less resources. Kudos

This 13 minute short gave me more feeling for Star Wars then the last 100+ hours Disney has produced. Please continue.

The Klaus Kinski vibes are a perfect fit for an imperial officer. Amazing fan film! Loved the ending with Kylo and the lost film reel frame you gave to this story!

That was beyond geart ... The last 13 minutes are truly deserving of the word EPIC!!! May the force be you.

I just finished watching an amazing fan-made movie that had an excellent plot, stunning visual effects, and electrifying music. The team behind this production did a fantastic job of blending all of these elements together seamlessly. I want to extend my congratulations to everyone who was involved in making this movie. Have to say, while watching, one thing that really stood out to me was the incredible music composed by John Williams. It's hard to imagine Star Wars being successful without his music. Even in this fan-made movie, his legendary themes added so much value and greatly improved the overall quality.

very creative, good work. its nice to see how Kylo got Vader's helmet

I love the Luger being used as a blaster in regards to Han having a Mauser as his blaster 🤣

I Love this…. well done all around. Love how it makes feel like a lost part of the franchise, yet explains how Kylo found Vader’s mask and how it got to him. Loved it from beginning to end. Fantastic Job !!

My goodness. Well done, international filmmakers! Definitely the best lighting, graphics and storytelling I’ve seen in a fan film.

Wow, this fan film is so good! The portions with the film capsules was really imaginative and the cinematography was stunning. Also, the humor, the camera shots, etc, felt very much like the spirit of the original movies. Great work!
