hello that how are you doing it's pretty early for me so look sleepy I'm sleepy
and for all you guys asked me to take my ears out of my hat here well here you go
all right ready yeah there you go good
okay I'm gonna do this so this is a video I've been putting off
for a long time man let's just get into it dude
so in February I announce that we're gonna do episode two and it was like a
dream and it was like a dream it was great um when I did episode one it was
the most fulfilling most amazing thing you guys have heard me to say it a
million times before I don't want to drag this video on February announced it
and then Corona hit a month later you know I was getting ready to you know
finishing the script everything was being finalized I was talking to the
producer the director that I was gonna have on at the time Daniel Ramirez who
worked on the first one and man we were ready to go we were contacting different
people the stunt coordinators I was on the phone with my stunt guy we were
gonna hire some very very cool people that I've worked on a lot of very big
movie projects and Star Wars projects this and that and it was gonna be great
and then Corona hit and I'm like okay maybe it's a phase maybe it's something
that's just gonna like happen for a month or two so I waited it out April
May June and now we're just about in July is it's June 30th and dude it's
worse than ever so I can't even fly to the States if you don't know I'm from
Canada I can't even fly down there and of
course something that you need to do when you're making a movie is to be
there especially if I'm gonna be directing it and overseeing this whole
thing now I was supposed to announcing it in February I was supposed to be
there in April to do some scouting for locations obviously that didn't happen I
was supposed to hire whole bunch of people to make foam costumes
for clones because in the first one they were all rigid and it was you know fan
costumes and his fan props pretty much so they couldn't be falling around
everywhere because they'd be damaging their costume so I wanted to make some
all-new foam ones that people could just you know go crazy and and everything
would look great and we could put the stunt guys in there and it would look
really badass obviously those people couldn't get the parts from China or
wherever they get it from so the whole economy the whole world is just shut
down and I'm sitting here like okay I promised these guys I'm due up so - and
I'm just waiting now like so I can go and film this thing but at this point it
just seems like it's getting worse you know yeah I can't drive down there I
can't fly down there I can't fly people you know like cat doesn't live in
California so you know Padme so I would have to wait around for her to get on a
plane but you can't get on planes so it's like what the heck do you do so I'm
stuck in this scenario where I want to make episode 2 & 3 more than anything
you know I want to tell the story and I love telling stories I love making
movies and I'm hooked on it and also I have this huge following that I promise
you guys that I'd be making a fan film but it's at the point now where it's
just unrealistic and it's reach it's literally out of my hands this is not
like some excuse or something it's the whole world shut down it's like there's
nothing I can do so episode 2 is gonna have to be delayed until further notice
and once we start to get notice that things are opening up in the world and
going back to normal then I mean it's still gonna be another
6 months until people can get the parts that they need for all the different
props and replicas and suits and this and that and some people are out of
business they have to drop their prop making career and I got to find new
people and all this and that because of everything that's going on so it's it
sucks dude it's tough but we're all in it like it's not like a me issue or a
Canada issue or an America issue it's like a world issue so that being said I
have been about now it's probably over seven grand
over the last two years to make a photorealistic cinematic for you guys
which would be taking place just before Vader arrives on Naboo and that's been
in the works for two years it was supposed to be done a year ago but I've
since then got a new VFX team and they've been doing an amazing job
they've really been killing it and it's gonna be an amazing amazing amazing
thing to show you guys maybe three minutes long but taking a long time
but when I say photorealistic you guys on the join members you guys are
probably seen some of the pictures so you know what I'm talking about so
that's gonna be out I would say probably in the fall hopefully but no rush on
that it's really that's out of my hands too you know it's up to the artists and
with everything going on people are losing jobs and they got to focus on
things that bring the money so they can survive and stuff not really a fan
project that doesn't pay all that much so all that being said episode 2 is
probably delayed like I don't know it could be the earliest I could see it
being released is December of 2021 you know I wanted to have it up this
December for you guys but obviously that's not gonna happen
and it sucks too cuz I just hired mace windu the actor was gonna play Mace
Windu's Eliot branch and Eliot branch and he was stoked man you know I ordered
him a lightsaber so you could start practicing dude I would I'm ready for
this like I've been wanting to do this so now the earliest that I could see it
happening is December 2021 if that you know but there's some guys that we have
that work in health care in the States that I know of through friends of
friends that work on the film I worked on Episode one and they say that this
thing won't be clearing up anytime soon so I don't know what the heck that means
I don't my guess is as good as yours so all I can do is just kind of sit here
and make the cartoon animations
you don't make the cartoon animations and make more videos of course and just
continue the channel that way and make my other channels like I've done and it
blows dude realistically I think what's gonna happen is probably 2022 the way
everything's going it's given me definitely some some some positives for
sure so if we do wait now which will we have
to there's another choice there's an opportunity that has arisen and it is
the most major huge opportunity to be able to film episode two and three with
this technology and environment if that pans through and if it doesn't well
we'll still film it regardless anyways so I can't talk about it this is the
most I could even say about it so that being said I want you guys to be patient
and when you know that it is gonna happen is coming like this is my life I
want to tell the story of it but it just might be held off now for a year or two
because of everything that's going on so
I'm always trying to find new ways to entertain you guys and you always push
the boundaries of the channel and YouTube and things I can do and this and
that so the animations is you know of course one thing it's like a little
funny thing to keep myself busy and satisfied in the meantime and as for the
fan film which is like the main thing and I've said like you know maybe once I
do the fan film then that's kind of like my my goodbye on the Star Wars Channel
it's like it cuz I'm just kind of that's a conversation for its own time we'll
see I don't know maybe things will change by then but definitely excited
for everything to come and just know that it will come it will happen I will
make episode 2 and episode 3 so and it's gonna be banging it's gonna be amazing
it's really gonna add you'll see you'll see I don't want to be one of those
dudes you just hypes everything up I did that
a lot with the first one of people doubted me a lot and episode 1 was okay
it was all right know now that I've it's been out for over a year I'm like that's
alright man but they're just so many things that I would have done
differently now there's so many obviously the budget wasn't as big as it
could be now obviously cuz I have more money now I can make this thing you know
huge so it's gonna have to wait but all good things take time and patience is
something that I have to learn and maybe this is you know the universe's way of
teaching me that and teaching everyone else that so I appreciate all of you
appreciate all your support that you guys put into the channel and continue
watching continue enjoying all the content that I put out if you do and if
you don't like something obviously leave it in the comments and I can work on
that and rectify it for you forgetting anything I don't think so
dude yeah I mean that's that's the scenario we're in so being said I love
you all and I know I'm gonna end this video I'm gonna forget I'm gonna be like
why didn't I say that I take a moment no I think we're good I think we're good
okay well actually we have one thing here here we go one thing that this
Korona thing has done positively is it's actually let me go back and redo the
script so the script that I had before which I was gung-ho on
yeah it's okay and then the script that I went back and redid yeah still so much
could be when you sit on stuff and you like Mull it over you're just like okay
so even when I went to announce it in February it was way too rushed way too
rushed I needed at least a year in order to do this properly but being impatient
like I am I was like oh yeah dude let's just get in there and like make this
thing I can get it up by December and I was like hey should I get a house or
should I make this fan film and so obviously I wanted to make the fan film
I would have been broke as hell like had nothing left but
I would have made do I would have just like I don't know made more videos or
something like that and tried to compensate or something I don't know
it would have been fine but yeah this whole break has given me time to
actually go back and rewrite everything and take it in a different perspective a
different spin a different view and definitely something that's more true to
the characters and more true to the story and something that would be more
interesting than just two dudes fighting each other because they hate each other
so that's definitely something that's a good thing about this all right I think
that's it anyways thanks for listening love you all and see you the next video
bye
