Award Winning Fan Film!!!
A nostalgic trip to the classic 77's STAR WARS feel. Short after the events of A NEW HOPE, R2-D2 and C3PO must return to TATOOINE to locate an Imperial artifact for Luke Skywalker, while the Jawas and the Empire are lurking nearby...
The film was created in Unreal Engine 5, using Lumen and Nanite

The film started as a learning project. I jumped into Unreal Engine 5, excited about new possibilities brought by Lumen - the new lighting system, and Nanite - the way to stream the meshes that saves usage of the computer resources.
When I downloaded the Valey of the Ancient, I thought it looks a lot like Tatooine from Star Wars and how I wish I could see how our beloved C3PO and R2-D2 would look in there. And that's how it started. Then from shot to shot, the script came along and the Star Wars story emerged, growing to become a full fan film, when a wonderful bunch of talented people joined and put so much love and work in it!
