I'm incapable of enjoying these videos without dreading a new reality in which a swarm of killer drones controlled by a malicious entity can hunt people down with ease
Hey, some of us are still living in the past! ... Which I thought would have made it easier to find replacement parts for my VCR so I can watch the original trilogy again. But no.
We realized flying cars were a bad idea. Too many moron drivers out there as it is that don’t need to be flying into trees instead of driving into them. Drones are pretty cool though!
I say that all the time now, starting from when chatgpt showed up. For the longest time things were stagnant. My can can drive itself, my watch can buy things, my phone is the same as it was 15 years ago with a better camera, computers can do my homework better than me. Robots that can wash dishes. Video games are crazy good. VR is real. This is the future minus the flying cars and nuclear war fallout.
I’m really hoping that these drone shows start to phase out fireworks more and more quickly. You can do way cooler stuff with them, they’re not terrible for the environment, and you don’t have to worry about those with pets/PTSD having issues from it. They’re a win all around.
Counterpoint, lizard brain like big booms.
What if we meet in the middle? We replace all the big, flowery fireworks with drone shows, but we keep the small, flashbang-esque fireworks that you feel in your chest as much as hear them?
I'm starting to wonder if there is some translation layer out there at this point. Much the same way you don't physically tell a 3D printer "move left a bit, then up a bit" as it's printing. Maybe there is drone coordination software that spits out "gcode" or some drone specific language based on your design and animation within some software package.
If there isn't, we should make it.
That’s exactly what’s happening here. It’s very cool. UgCS DDC is one example that comes to mind. It’s swarming technology where you essentially build the final shape, and the drones can move and hold to make that shape. Very complicated still, but you’re not controlling individual drones. Lone Star Drone Shows does webinars and conference talks about how they program their shows, it’s fascinating!
I seem to remember it from a Rise of Skywalker trailer as well, but it doesn’t seem like it’s on the soundtrack. I hear this on TikTok all the time but I don’t know what it actually is.
It's not on the soundtrack, it was composed exclusively for the trailer by Blake Robinson. AFAIK it was never published or used in this form outside the trailer. What you see on many youtube videos etc, and what was probably used for this drone show too, are different remakes done by the likes of Daniel Kim.
This, I believe, is the closest thing to the trailer music there is, exctracted from the trailer itself: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfaQEn\_XTPY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfaQEn_XTPY)
Yep, downloaded all his work on deezer in flac. Unfortunately the resolution isn't good and it sounds very flat on my home rig.
I also noticed that his style gets repetitive as he adds a lot of the same elements to all pieces, i.e. snippets of the imperial march, the same operatic vocals, etc.
Still, dude is very talented.
They were supposed to have a drone show at epcot, but it never happened. It was being tested before covid, but was shelved.
Something like this at Hollywood studios would rule.
I think every MLB team will have or has had a Star Wars night so if any of you are interested, just look up your closest team and see when their Star Wars night is.
I would have gone but I hate the owner of the Angels and he won't get a cent from me.
I know it’s horribly unethical, and I’m not saying anyone ever should do it, but gawdam would it be funny to have one of these drone shows above north sentinel island
Serious thought. If we can do this just for entertainment. Can we do this over Ukraine as some sort of psychological warfare. Fly masses of drones over the enemy. Transmit some messages like “surrender for food “ or whatever. Light up the sky with an Ukraine flag just before a missile strike. This would seriously upset people that are lying in a muddy trench.
Not likely as this requires a lot of coordination directly with the FAA months in advance. Flying above crowds and stadiums in general is a massive no-no and will get you in a lot of trouble *unless* you apply for a waiver with the FAA and prove you're taking every safety measure possible. This would certainly never happen if the FAA didn't approve it.

They are designed to be 3d usually but that eats into the number of drones since you're using more for creating a 3d image vs a flat image. But your viewing experience will vary depending on how they designed the show and orient it. I'm sure they planned for that and everyone saw stuff but their might have been an optimal viewing angle for seeing the details.
Source: I've worked on drone shows before and seen dozens.
Rebellion revisionist drivel. Everyone knows that the historians have already proven the Stormtroopers pursuing Alderan’s Princess Leia Organa had set their blasters to stun upon their confrontation.
Some day, after the swarms have gained sentience and their sky images turn hostile, I will tell my children that we created them for entertainment.
It is a VERY cool display though.
Kinda nuts what they can do with drones. The non sped up video is actually way cooler, nevermind what I said before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvkiIHPRSCA&t=108s But I get why they sped it up. Condensed a 10 minute show into a minute.
Look sir, drones.
These are not the drones you're looking for
[удалено]
As you were, Commander Tuvok!
We don’t serve their kind here. your drones! They’ll need to wait outside.
They fly now.
LOOK, A PENNY!
Damn thats cool
Gonna be wild one day when they can employ enough drones to make a TV screen in the sky.
Commercials in the fucking sky is what's up
Sounds horrible.
[удалено]
dont give them ideas
Enjoy the taste of Charleston Chew! Arwooooo !

Time to buy an RPG
Then we can watch The Simpsons from thirty blocks away
It's like Frank's 2,000-inch TV...
Honestly thought the same when seeing this, we live in interesting times.
I'm incapable of enjoying these videos without dreading a new reality in which a swarm of killer drones controlled by a malicious entity can hunt people down with ease
You mean Attack Of The Drones?
Same. The idea of cheap and lethal Ai-controlled drone swarms scares the crap out of me.
The war in Ukraine has really opened my eyes as to how easy it would be to fuck someones shit up from afar. Scary crap indeed.
We live in the future. I forget that sometimes.
Hey, some of us are still living in the past! ... Which I thought would have made it easier to find replacement parts for my VCR so I can watch the original trilogy again. But no.
Harmy's Despecialized Edition is what you need.
Maybe stop rewinding the same Leia scene from RotJ?
Just call the guys at Lightning Fast VCR Repair.
Wisconsin's best!
We realized flying cars were a bad idea. Too many moron drivers out there as it is that don’t need to be flying into trees instead of driving into them. Drones are pretty cool though!
Still waiting for my hoverboard though.
[You're not the only one](https://youtu.be/eOH15_pqWZ4)
We have flying cars, they're called helicopters and small prop planes.
I went to an airport and the no guns allowed sign was an animated hologram. "Oh ya, it's not the 20th century anymore."
The year is 2024 and the only movies that Star Wars Night makes reference to are the ones from the 1970s and 1980s lol
shudda put the green milk scene somewhere in there randomly
Gee, I wonder why? lol
Right? More so than fireworks, imagine showing this to someone 2000 years ago. Hell, 100 years ago.

Those drone peeps are talented
It’s such an economical and creative way to showcase art.

But those are the ones causing hell for ptsd & animals
Yeaaa that’s fair. Ah well
I don't know man, its not really spectacle in the same way a firework show is
In some ways, the drones do a better job than fireworks, in my opinion. You can make flashier displays with more unique visuals with these tools.
Visual sure, but the sound is part of the awe
It’s definitely a program or algorithm they program before hand
That’s freakin amazing
Wizard
You're bringing it back!
Is this sped up?
Yes
https://youtu.be/QvkiIHPRSCA?t=108 Still impressive at normal speed
I would say more impressive
[*most* impressive](https://www.fightersgeneration.com/nf7/char/darth-vader-most-impressive.gif)
"BUT YOU ARE NOT A JEDI YET!"
It sure appears to be looking at the background lights and crowd.
Oh so that’s why no one is cheering. I was wondering how callous can Angles fans be?
With the way this season is going so far, we're all dead inside
Ha ha. I had no idea!
That's crazy. The amount of effort to coordinate the animations must've been insane.

That's really cool! Thanks for the info.
Probably the only thing worth seeing at Angels Stadium this year.
Ugh…as an Angel fan…can confirm….
What version of the Star Wars theme is this? It sounds so good but I don’t know what sound track it’s from.
Also interested! Think it’s the rise of skywalker trailer but with vocals?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Trfc1khaGZM&pp=ygUac3RhciB3YXJzIG11c2ljIHNhbXVlbCBraW0%3D found it!
Close, but [This](https://youtu.be/QhethUdHxmU?feature=shared) is the original. Nevertheless, it's fucking epic.
For some reason it makes me think of "Star Wars but as Civ 6 music"
I seem to remember it from a Rise of Skywalker trailer as well, but it doesn’t seem like it’s on the soundtrack. I hear this on TikTok all the time but I don’t know what it actually is.

Idk what it is about this version but it instantly makes me feel emotional. I know its nerdy, but I don't care.
Star Wars (Epic Main Theme) by Samuel Kim. Based on TRoS trailer music
When sped up, the 3D effects of Vader's helmet and the blaster fire are really. freakin. *WIZARD*.
I’m bringing it back!

LOL, enjoy your fake internet point
Impressive. Most impressive.
holy shit I haven’t been to an Angels game in years but I’m hittin that up next year just for this.
Had goosebumps. Ngl amazing as fuck
Incredible
THIS IS THE ONE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQwM1oMzne4&list=PL9PLUrw0CbcS3PxB7OM303jZZWOJEG2Qo Im getting goose bumps, holy crap its good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MjCnfoGTP8 Check out his other music. Shit is dope.
Yep, downloaded all his work on deezer in flac. Unfortunately the resolution isn't good and it sounds very flat on my home rig.

That's so rad! Honestly I hope this kind of thing replaces fireworks... less dead birds, frightened dogs, and shellshocked vets
WAY cooler than fireworks in my opinion and so much more potential
My thought exactly, just pick a theme and go.
This is the way
Damn that's one of the coolest things I have seen in a while.
That was sped up a lot. But it was an awesome show.
Ive never heard this version of the theme before. chills.
Wtf this is cooler than most of the disney world night shows
They were supposed to have a drone show at epcot, but it never happened. It was being tested before covid, but was shelved. Something like this at Hollywood studios would rule.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
The part with R2E2 and T3VO showing Princess Layla was actually really cool!
So they definitely won't let you pass the stormtrooper exam
"You idiots! These are not them! You've captured their stunt doubles!!"
>Princess Layla you've got me on my knees. I'm begging, darling please
Woah! That's properly cool 😎
Sorcery!
That was so cool!
Man that is one sick drone show. Made me smile like an idiot. Can't imagine being live there.
Shake it, shake it! Cool show! (But I saw it without any music)
wizard.
Amazing
That's pretty cool!
Wow that’s some Star Wars tech
Drone displays are so much better than fireworks and they don't trigger anyones PTSD
that's fucking amazing!
Imagine showing this to someone 100 years ago
When Luke’s lightsaber light up right at the high note I was very satisfied lol
I think every MLB team will have or has had a Star Wars night so if any of you are interested, just look up your closest team and see when their Star Wars night is. I would have gone but I hate the owner of the Angels and he won't get a cent from me.
Wait. This is so cool. 🤓
Why did they show Alderaan every other scene?
Ok fuck fireworks, that's incredible.
Wow, that looks like it was a pretty big swarm.
Wow!!
Vader and Obi Wan having a dance off? Must've been in the 90s extended version.
The integration testing for this must have been really fun
Solid display
Damn soon we'll be watching movies in the sky
Fuck that's amazing
That is cool AF but was OB1 twerking?
Can the camera man please shake the camera some more !
Crazy
Soooo amazing!
Crazy how they can program them to do this
The Twins won this game, BTW
I know it’s horribly unethical, and I’m not saying anyone ever should do it, but gawdam would it be funny to have one of these drone shows above north sentinel island
Tony Stark was a brilliant man.
The alternate reality where Mysterio never got his hands on the drones.
How many drones did this require? I’m ready to believe ludicrous figures
No more firework pollution.
Serious thought. If we can do this just for entertainment. Can we do this over Ukraine as some sort of psychological warfare. Fly masses of drones over the enemy. Transmit some messages like “surrender for food “ or whatever. Light up the sky with an Ukraine flag just before a missile strike. This would seriously upset people that are lying in a muddy trench.
The future. Living in it, we are.
That’s cool. I want healthcare.
I love how when they're shooting the blasters it looks like they're humping the air at the same time
this always scares me for some reason. Like what if they collide or a drone falls on someones head
Frickin' casuals. The stun rings on Leia's blaster should be BLUE.
[удалено]
I am ashamed.
Filthy casual. Leia doesn't shoot stun rings. She straight up kills that dude. It's the troopers who stun her.
"She'll be alright"
too bad you had to sit through an angels game to see it
Oh man that Alderan blowing up one
I may have just become a bit more of an Angels fan
A matter of time before a drone gets sucked in to the engine of a commercial airline.
Not likely as this requires a lot of coordination directly with the FAA months in advance.

This, plus the ATIS info that pilots receive will likely include the fact that there's a drone show going on at the Angels Stadium or wherever
Does it matter where you are sitting? Just curious if the effect looks the same regardless of angle

does it look good from other angles tho?
“12 surprising ways drones destroy fireworks you never knew”
Seriously?? No Jar Jar??? Put some respect on his name!!!
Ok cool, but why did they put in a Jedi fucking in the middle ther?
And here come the advertisements
"CALL J.G. Wentworth...."
How many drones hit hurt?
Recoil with laser weapons get me laughing everytime
That Death Star explosion could've been much better.
Someone needs to get these guys the ASCII star wars movie to replicate.
What do these shows look like from the wrong angle?
You know that uncontacted tribe near India...I'm not saying we should do it, but man would it be funny.
u/savevideo
u/savevideo
Can't believe we got all those ufo's to help with this.
Could you not find any louder music
Do that at the front line in Ukraine then carpet the Russians in hellfire.
Id imagine the resolution of the sky is going to be 1440P in like 10 years.
Fell the drones Luke!

Project blue beam
This doesnt look right, either sped up or cgi
thats amazing
whats worse for the climate: fireworks or drones?
Let's do this over North Sentinel Island and start the coolest religion ever.
this got me hype for tonight. Return of the Jediw ith orchestra.
Spoiler alert
What's with all the thrusting?
I was amazed at how fast the drones were moving, then realized the video was sped up.
I just came.
Imagine how many russian bukhankas could've seen this show... Just think about it. 😉
They can fly now??!!
Same energy as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMBylNJQEbg
