    Anakin Skywalker is DEAD.
    For eight months, the mysterious Darth Vader has enforced the Emperor's commands. Fighting between the loss of Padme, and the new cursed life he now leads, Vader must do what must be done when a surviving Jedi Master from Order 66 has lured him to the home planet of his late Wife's tomb...

    This project is single handedly the most amazing thing I've ever been part of. Without Danny Ramirez's guidance and help, this never would have taken off the ground, let alone...gotten to where it is today. I owe him a lot. He is da coooolest. I thank every single one of you for watching my videos and supporting my channel. I will do my best to excel your expectations for years to come and provide entertainment you deserve. I thank you for everything, and I hope to one day make episode 2 a reality. In the mean time, all I ask, is for you to share this video, and hit like to spread to word. I couldn't have done this without the talented people behind it. You know who you are (that long credits list). I love you all. And to the fans, meeting hundreds of you at the free premiere in LA was surreal. I will post everything soon from the event. You've changed my life forever, and I hope to bring you this first episode (and many more I hope!) as a gratitude and gift for what you deserve. I am eternally grateful.
    ENJOY AND MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU, ALWAYS!!!!

    • @HD_Simplicityy
      @HD_Simplicityy Před 7 měsíci +8

      I don't think using indecision was right. It's as though he has adhd. Vader is usually quick to decide. It's more that he stops doing something because it's at a crossroads and he knows that if he makes the choice, something bad will happen.

      ​@@HD_Simplicityy that's what makes it an indecision, the fact that Vader has to stop himself from doing what he feels like doing only makes it show how powerful cidiois was to make him rethink his feelings. Only someone more powerful than him would make him do that

    I find it rather endearing how loyal, even selflessly loyal, Sidious is to the Rule of Two in this adaptation. He is a monster of course. Sadistic and cruel. Yet even this monster is willing to sacrifice his own life for a greater ideal. To ensure only the migtiest man is the Lord of the Sith. He encourages Vader to attack and supplant him. He pushes him to be better than him and take his throne and life.....if he can. In his own twisted Sith way he tries to make his student greater than himself. Even at the cost of his own demise. If Lord Bane could see this version of Sidious he would applaud and call him a true and loyal Sith. For like the the founder of the Order himself he places the Sith above all, even his personal power.

      Sidius is not sadistic he is extremely callus and cold hearted with no empathy and compassion. He does not kill for the fun of it. He kills if its more profitable ( even slightly ) this is what makes him so evil. He is far too intelligent to be sadistic

The Vader I've always wanted to see. The conflicted, torn, and haunted Vader, grappling with his connection to Padme, the desire for revenge against Palpatine, and the thirst for absolute power. Well done, my hat is off to you.

    It's so cool to see Vader at his best, being actually powerful and ruthless (whilst sometimes slightly conflicted). We never got to see enough of this in the movies, and there is huge potential for content that goes beyond and delves into the many unanswered questions. Please keep pushing back the veil and revealing ever more - I trust that the flavour will feel consistent & cannon upheld along the way. And I must say this was all-round well executed, exciting, and shows great promise. A great future in this, I see!

More like congratulations, Disney has robbed you at gunpoint and proceeded to make money off of something you put time and effort into making.

      Let them fail. Let the value of star wars plummet. Soon someone will be available to buy it. Maybe even George and turn it around. Bring peace again to this once glorious series.

      You realize only like .001% of the fan base will see this though, right? Literally no eyes are watching. It’s a great piece, don’t get me wrong, but it’s a gross exaggeration to think it’s bad PR beyond a few fanboys. It’s similar to wrestling news websites, if that’s your thing. Such a small percentage of the overall fan base is even seeing this, it’s of no concern to them.

      That's a little more than just a "few fanboys." On top of that, several Star Wars channels are bringing it to our attention.

      Meh. He is soo badass that he is practically immune to blaster fire anyway.
      I mean, he can easily deflect it with his MECHANICAL hand, why would he need to suspend them?
      It's a matter of, practicality over looking cool.

      these kind of fan made films for the most part are always great, because they are made from the heart, the love of film making, Fandom, not just to sell out at the box office, not influenced by the studios to alter his story or vision
