- After seeing a glimpse into the future, a young mother must stand against the dark forces of fate.
My entry into SaberComp 2022. Fun fact, this is the 20th anniversary of the contest, and my 7th entry into that contest.
It was a blast making this, and the location is one of my all time favorite places to shoot. Everywhere I turned the camera it looked amazing.
Also, it was so fun to have my daughter Emily in this. She had so much fun being on a Star Wars set for a couple days.

Yes! Yes! And absolutely heck yes! 🎉 Y’all did it again. This felt so very SW to me thematically.
Glad you felt that. I set out from the beginning to make this entry the most 'Star Wars-y' I could.
@@MaxJordanVisuals job well done
@@MaxJordanVisuals I have followed you for 9 years. You are so outstanding. God bless you
@@AntoineBandele I am a fan of your content. You are a true scholar of Star Wars
I need more star wars vs series bro frfr
Him using the force to pull her Saber down to attack right at the beginning was an awesome way to start a duel and my God was this a duel.
It's especially amazing how her daughter surprisingly saved her in the end. Never underestimate a child's love for their parents.
@@rockinHurley777 It could have been something "lightsaber resistant". Eg.: beskar would stop a lightsaber.
He had an advantage in the force, loved it!
@gyozokomporaly1557
Besar, Cortosis, and one other material, are all resistant to it so, could be a variety of things.
I saw that and then the immediate, aggressive uppercut from the dudes pole saber where he flung sparks up off the ground and had to pause because I was up off my bed, screaming "WHOA WHOA HOLD UP" at 1 in the morning lmao, shit is crazy
Wait....are you kidding me? How are you able to do in 7 minutes what Disney couldn't do over 3 movies? This was incredible! I need to see what happens next!
kinda looking like what they did tho, no hate.
Not a ST fan but this is better than all of the duels in the saga. Best Lightsaber duels are in those Old Republic cinematics lol
Except you're just a pathetic Disney hater because this is exactly like the sequel fights...
Amen, 7 minutes??
You are a directing genius!
These guys actually care that's why
Totally justifies the Jedi way. She all along knew she would probably die fighting him, but she gave it all that she could. Man, that felt the REAL Star Wars story. Hats off to this superb masterpiece!
The thing I loved about that was when she gets stabbed. She, in that moment, lost the light. Once she maimed him, as a Jedi, she should've waited for him to either surrender or force further conflict. Instead, she chases the conflict by attacking him, leaving an opening of vulnerability. In that moment, she lost the protection of the light and entered the dark and paid the price. Honestly phenomenal writing if that was intended.
This was better choreographed than all Disney lightsaber duels, but one thing is still a problem.
Even in a fan duel, people STILL can't seem to die from a lightsaber stab. 🤔
Only qui gon lol
Must've been somewhere fatal@@Eheth1958
Qui Gon must be feeling pretty stupid right about now. Clearly, a weapon that is capable of melting through a multi-layered blast door on a giant spaceship is an easy thing to survive!
I’m not a huge Star Wars fan, but I always questioned the lethality of lightsabers. They would care rose any wound they inflict pretty much instantly.
Yes they can simember someone easily and that is lethal but a stab would not result in an immediate loss of conciousness due to blood loss / blood pressure drop, I don’t think.
@@er4din903 I think the immense heat would cause a person’s internals to sublimate or vaporize. It’s kinda like why bullets are deadly: internal damage
I feel like she meditated to accept her vision, managing her fear, and live through the inevitable with courage.
I agree. Any female hero who must prepare for a dangerous showdown with a male villain would imaginably find her courage through meditation.

She got stabbed in the gut with a lightsaber. She ain't living through that.

FINALLY! We get to see a lightsaber pike in live-action, and this entire duel looks phenomenal! Great work!
exactly! Ray absolutely should have had a pike, It would make more sense with her whole "I can use a staff" thing.
@@YourLocalPyromaniacand it would make her beating Kylo more believable. As pikes have greater reach and control in a 1v1 against a sword. Even then its a bit iffy but still better than what we got.
@@czarsalad101 thats true! and again, she would have skill with reach weapons.
@@YourLocalPyromaniac yep!
@@YourLocalPyromaniac to be honest I would've preferred a double bladed saber for her.

this is what star wars feels like, epic, emotional, and energetic. Fantastic work overall
No! It's supposed be about a falsely arrested space immigrant, a vengeful security guard, a female secret police agent, a depressed useless robot , a lesbian rebel, a posh senestor & an antique/arts merchant with an axe to grind! (Sarcasm)
Absolutely
It really captures what HK47 tells the exile about killing jedi
It had none of that 😂
A blantant repeat of the same shit we’ve seen a million times
Once again, a fan film that's way better than the sequels. They even had a Kylo Rey feel but everyone knew their training. Well done!
Its not better than the sequels though. Stop trying to cope as hard as you possibly can.
@@TheSCPStudio Well, how about you stop trying to tell people what to do.
@@TheSCPStudio it is tho. The irony of a sequel trilogy fan telling someone else to stop coping... something about do not judge lest ye be judged..

@@TheSCPStudio You're just mad because its true.
how did you guys manage to put plot twists in a film barely longer than 5 minutes and with no overarching story/plot context in the first place??? so simple and so genius. 10/10 did watch again
This told a better story than the 7,8 and 9 combined. Great job
It's better than the trash Disney releases these days. It's a small film but all the scenes have a lot of emotional weight and it helps that the protagonist isn't a mary sue
Thank you for giving us a saber duel short that gives us the stakes of the battle but also the fact you both were aiming for each other and not the blades.Amazing.
YES!! Except this time 3:34
@@ashanderson2703 gotta have a bit of flourish lol
@@doofusboy7054 Eh there still was a bit too much "flourish" for my liking. Still good though.
There were a few times they left themselves wide open to an attack the other didn't take, but overall yes, well done. I just watched battles from the first 6 movies and they depended so much on jump cuts and laser flashes... I couldn't make sense of what was happening from a technical pov. This was much better.
Lightsabers are attracted to each other so it would actually make sense for there to be a lot of clashing in a duel
I love these little fan productions, they add such cool stories to an already awesome universe.
I am just now discovering this, about a year after posted date. This was incredible. A wonderful short film. Everything was tap notch from the sound, the setting, the costumes, the fight choreography, they music.
The fight itself was trash bro bro, literally looked like two people who never watched a Star wars movie or a sword fight got paid $300 to rehearse a poorly choreographed fight between two inexperienced lightsaber users.
As an avid fan of KotFE, seeing a Pike Saber actually used in a high production value duel brings me immense joy.
Amen.
Praise the Pike!🙌
Praise the pike indeed!
Accept why use a pike like a staff when you can use a double sided lightsaber the same way. The villain would have killed her numerous times with a double bladed saber
Because the double bladed saber is a different weapon for a different fighting style. There's alot that a pike saber can do that a doublebladed saber cant. For example: strike with a reasonable amount of force.
I love how this scene was so organic, I could feel an emotional connection with the Jedi and her child, and the intensity of the sith and the deep story between them without ever being introduced to one. This was Star Wars, Disney should give you the rights and the budget for a new trilogy
"Lone Jedi and Child"? 🙂🙂
Their fighting over child custody.
@@ugotlj4133 😆 lol
Rule of the SW New Age - nobody dies from a lightsaber stab.
Saber as hot as the sun that can melt a blast door doesn’t kill you when it’s shoved into fleshly organs. This shit needs to stop happening.
They created more emotion and investment from the audience with little dialogue than some of the latest films. Bravo! ❤
Eh, not true. Otherwise it'd have far more views.
@@cerebrophage7709 it’s true
What I said? I know.@@sekhemmontu7072
I love the lightsaber pike. Haven't seen that in a solid minute. Well done!
definitely a Naginata inspired lightsaber imho :)
So that's the style of the guys Saber was
Count how many times she got hit by the blunt end. That’s how many times she would’ve died if it was a dual saber 😅
@@Jay-sn7wutrue but maybe a dual ended saber doesnt suit his training or style still very awesome fight
It's maybe part beskar why so hard to cut, but if that's me, I'll slide or hit the hands...
The fact that she meditates before the duel actually tells you a lot
Yeah, I agree, so good
Tribute to Qui gon
LMFAO
Its a green jedi thing
and yet she still gets stabbed, despite knowing it is coming..
I am getting so emotionally overwhelmed by this. At first I thought it was a scene from one of the shows that I haven’t seen yet since I haven’t kept up my Disney+ subscription. And then I realize this is friggin fan made?!? Omg, please take over for Disney.
The hilt!!!! Omg the hillttttt was epic when she knew she had to cut it!!!!
I felt more emotion in the first 3 minutes of this than in the last two movies combined.
Thats a low bar these days... Fuck Disney and KKs "The Force is Female" agenda.
Not me...I had a lot of emotions after the final two movies. Believe me none of them were good. When everyone was complaining about the prequels. The force was saying "you wait you fckrs"
When the butthurt is strong with you, you will not connect to that which offends you.
@@cerebrophage7709is he wrong tho? I felt nothing in over 6 hours of Disney fanfic and actual fanfic does it in under 5 mins
Reactance bias, in the context of un/favored content, doesn't make you right or wrong.@@Ar17778
Your location is amazing, matches the tone perfectly. I think this is the best implementation of a light pike I have ever seen in anything. the cinematography and choreography are stunning. The use of the Force feels natural. This is by far and away the best entry I've seen this year and one of the best I've seen ever.
I’m not trying to be that guy but just for future reference it is spelled Choreography. And cinematography
(Just trying to help you out, not being rude)
@@Hello-hn9kq Thanks for the correction!
Problem of course being that the Pike's shaft is somehow capable of blocking Saber strikes even though that's NEVER been possible. Even Darth Maul's own Dual-Saber couldn't block saber strikes along it's shaft. One of the many things that makes Dual Sabers and Saber Pikes breathtakingly stupid weapons to bring to a lightsaber fight.
@@TheCrimsonRevenger i think this follows the cannon for beskar
I'm actually a Legends canon guys, so I think of it as being made from Phrik.
This should have been a movie instead of The Rise of Skywalker. I think it would've been awesome if Rey found an orphan like herself and fought to keep that kid alive. They could even still have a redemption arc for Ben Skywalker where he has the same premonition but realizes it doesn't have to come true when the kid stops him from killing Rey. Maybe the kid would be the same kid from the end of The Last Jedi.
This is one awesome short!
Well done compared to Disney movies.
Critiques (as all the comments are heaping praises):
- Sith weapon just seemed unnecessary and poorly used. It is built like a reach/spear weapon yet he wields it like a sword. The whole time he is hitting her with the back side of it you keep thinking "Well if that was darth maul's weapon she would be dead".
- You demonstrate the physical difference between them early in the fight, but then quickly ignore it for the rest of the fight. It is not believable a woman who looks to be a good 50-80 pounds lighter is standing toe to toe in a grapple fight. She needed to be more nimble or leveraging herself better to win such encounters as the duel doesn't show that at all. Or even just be more force proficient, yet it seems like her opponent is using all the force powers.
- Young kid using a force power proficiently and powerfully to stop a fully trained Sith warrior... No... Just no. That is as cringe worthy as any of the Disney Star Wars. Yeah you wanted a twist from the premonition of her own death. But that is easily pulled off by her using the force in an unexpected way. Might be that you show throughout the fight that she isn't able to do something he can, but she manages to pull it off in that moment of death. She is as young as Anakin Skywalker who was a force savant and even he wasn't pulling that type of crap in Phantom Menace.
- Why the hell did she not pull her own lightsaber to her for the killing stroke? Had her saber been shown to be broken, or maybe under his foot? There should have been some camera shot showing that her saber was unreachable/unusable.
-There is also a odd edit where she loses her lightsaber earlier in the fight but it's not apparent when she loses it. Important moments like getting disarmed need a quick camera closeup so that the viewer doesn't miss it in the chaos of the action.
- Minor gripe, but Sith should have had some make-up/cosmetic. Use of the dark side should have some physical manifestations. In terms of acting, though these are probably not actors, he needed to show more emotion.
- I have never cared for force choke used on another force wielder. This seems to come up in fan creations and the video games. I've always gotten the impression that if used on a force wielder they could just counter it with their own force making it pointless. I would be willing to accept it if the person is untrained (like the child) or they suffered a serious head blow that makes them disoriented (like a force throw like Darth Vader uses in Empire Strikes back, clocks her in the head). Else it just comes across as cheap fan service.
imagine a 7 minute short telling us more about a protagonist's motives, values, and personality than an entire 3 episode series of 2 hour movies.
I want to see more of this character. she's amazing.
i have a lot more to say about this actually. it ended up on my suggested videos again. i wont say most of what i have to say.
but here's the thing. if a hero isn't afraid, and weak, they are not a hero. if a hero doesn't have a conviction so strong that they look to it and gain whatever they need to face death, they aren't a hero.
this female hero is THE hero. she is a role model to all humans. she believes completely that she will die, and she proceeds with as much strenght as she can straight into it for the sake of her convictions. this is how you create a female hero.
Yea ok…
@@et2792 that's how you create a hero thy simply sacrifice themselves for their convictions

I just found this today, I absolutely loved it. I appreciate all of your passion and original ideas. I felt so many emotions in 7 minutes, so well done. Thank you.
The music in this is slept on, killer score! Really tied the whole short together. Also amazing performances as well! I feel like LCC entries don’t always have the best acting but you guys nailed it.
7 minutes of pure love and talent. The acting was on point and not cringe worthy. The music is outstanding. The choreography was 10/10. This is what Disney will never understand. Wow.
Yup. No cringe at all. Unlike Disney which was non stop, eye squitin', arse clencin' , nauseating inducin' cringe-fest. I was completely engaged with this story and even felt sad when she was stabbed. Unlike how I felt with Rey, which was "Won't somebody PLEASE shoot her"
You guys are common sense smart people
The kid was a little cringey, be honest lol. Still impressive though
@@sledgehammer301 you’re so right! anyone that likes the sequels need to get their head out their arses I think. It completely ruins the sky walker saga and it ruins Luke story. They had every opportunity to make a brand new story but instead fucked it. Rey was the worse thing to come out of the sequels. It’s not cannon in my eyes.
Now I'm not a sequel fan by any means, but there's hardly any acting in this whatsoever, so how are you going to compare them? There's literally not a single line of dialogue in this so how is that fair
i don't even know who these characters are or their backstory, but I can feel so much energy between them and know that this fight had been a long time coming. Great storytelling
It's supposed to be Anakin Skywalker's mom and Kylo Ren I'm pretty sure but idk
@@googleuser3163 Shmi died long before Kylo's time, tho I do see the resemblance!
RIDICULOUS. Even if Anakin’s mom somehow survived, she’d be near 100 by the time Kylo was an adult

At first, I thought it was Rey and Kylo Ren, but maybe not.
I can't help but think that kid looked a bit like the Sith guy... Talk about adding an extra level of tragic.
Edit: Casting, lol.
Wow.. just wow... I'm literally speechless. Some of the best saber fighting I have seen since the prequel trilogy and the fact that it's fan made... my god, you absolutely deserved the win. Simply incredible. 🙌🌹
As a matter of fact I would go as far as saying this is some of the best SW content I've seen in the past decade lol
Thank the force that we have such awesome fans that create these wonderful shorts. What you guys have done is epic. Disney could learn a lot from you 👍
"Thank the force..."? Really?
I love how this, with no words or backstory, has better story telling then Disney's Star Wars.

Cool lightsaber duel. I can see this happening right after RoTS, and Jedi go into hiding. This felt like a mother Jedi knight desperately trying to run from an Inquisitor. You could feel the hope and the reason to fight on when she looked at her child. Excellent work.
I agree, except for the fact that a Jedi of that era wouldn't be a mother. As far as we know, Anakin was the only one who broke the no personal attachments rule.
I see this as a survivor of Order 66 trying to protect a youngling who for some reason wasn't at the Jedi temple at the time of Anakin's massacre, from an Inquisitor. Either way it was still bloody good.
I was really hoping for a plot twist of the sort: green saber Jedi gets defeated, child runs to red saber Jedi, screaming "daddy!!!!!!".
I saw it more as a scen from the Old Republic, maybe thousand years ago. The war between Jedi and Sith is constant.

02:15 instant goosebumps - Qui-Gon during the fight with Maul at the theed power plant!
Precisely what came to mind too
Men don't get goosebumps from anything but being suddenly submerged in cold air or cold water.
Only intellectual males, children and genuine females get so taken by emotion that goosebumps emerge. Seek inner stillness and you shall overcome such weakness, same method removes the weakness called "cringing."
@@linyenchin6773 being intellectual, or in tune with one's feelings, is not synonymous with weakness - far from it.
Impressive work right there, and that kid using the force to save her mother totally gave me the kid Starkiller vibes and good thing it didn't end the same for her :D
Got home from work, thought "I'm gonna show the kids some lightsaber duels" ended up showing them a masterpiece. Perfect way to start they're life long obsession with star wars ;)
came across this thanks to Zayde Wolf and had to come see the full video, absolutely loved it!!
I'm fanboying so hard right now.
You guys raise the bar every time. I'm thoroughly impressed.
Amazing work with great emotional performances! The King is back 👑
I am a fan of your Star Wars Fan Fiction
Extraordinary! Just made my day finding this 🤩 Thank you to all involved
Came here after I saw this was used for a music video for Zayde Wolf's song "Back in the Fight." You did an amazing job on creating this story! For the 7 mins, I already want to know what's going to happen next, what's their backstory. Keep on creating!
I love this interpretation of a vision! The rough, fragmented images bleeding into reality like a glitching screen keeps us rooted in the present yet aware of the future. Also - the lightsaber pike is used so well!
If only ANY of the Kylo vs. Rey fights had even half this much thought put into the choreography, maybe there would at least be something redeemable about the sequels other than the visuals and soundtrack. The force premonition showing what looks like defeat, technically being accurate but leaving out the most crucial detail of how it truly ends was great and is a much more 4-6 faithful use of the force than ANYTHING it's been used for since Disney took over.
THIS is what the Kylo/Rey dynamic could have been like, instead I was just bored anytime they were on screen together and wondering when they would kiss each other the whole time.
Thank you for making actual Star War content.
I'm going to assume that the Sith user was using a low-grade beskar alloy rod attachment to the end of his lightsaber. It's the only explanation as to why it resisted her lightsaber for as long as it did! And the fact that when she did cut the end off, it was a clean straight cut. Perfect depiction for how a lightsaber cut really looks!!😎
First, I want to say how amazing this is! The choreography is fantastic! I love how the battle started with him forcing her saber down to throw her off. I love how her vision showed us what was expected to happen, but when she broke his saber shaft, we thought she was changing the future, only to have her vision actually come true, only to be saved by her daughter. That was fantastic writing! The lightsaber sounds and styles were incredible as well. I am a big fan of the thicker sabers (unlike Star Wars Rebels thin ones) that really punch the sound when they ignite. It gives me goosebumps! Also, I love how the daughter and guy have similar hair which opens the door for so many theories like the girl isn't the mother but rescuing the girl from her Dark Side father or that the girl and guy are both the child's parents.
Now, a few things I noticed that took me out of the scene for a second. When she was stabbed with his lightsaber, I wish it looked more like the saber was going into her. Maybe her clothes would have a circle with embers and char where the saber burned through them. I know this wasn't a high budget film or anything, but just having the light stop seemed not on par with the rest of the special effects. Also, when she drops her lightsaber, you make a point of showing her drop it almost right next to her (5:33) only to have it moved several feet away from her (5:42) only to have it right back next to her (5:55). Not a major issue, but it was definitely noticeable. My last constructive criticism is about the lethality of lightsabers throughout Star Wars in recent years. How did she get stabbed by a laser sword (which would melt your insides) and live and he gets stabbed by a metal pipe and dies almost instantly? How is it that Kylo Ren, The Grand Inquisitor, Reva (twice), Sabine Wren, Cal Kestis, and now this girl all survive what should be killing blows and yet Qui-Gon gets grouped with Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin, and Kit Fisto in the 1 Stab=Instant Death club. Overall, fantastic video though!!!
Love your comment and love the fact you brought up inconsistency in the lore when it comes to how lethal a saber is
There was only 1 survival I bought and that was Starkiller. Because after Vader stabbed him and threw him into space, he also had a Droid retrieved him and poured a Darth Vader around of Imperial resources into saving his body/life.
I'm not saying someone can't live, but too many people have been living.
This comment is spot on. You can’t have a lightsaber being shoved into a blast door melting it and then have it shoved into a person with fleshy soft organs and expect that person to live. I’m sorry, but you can’t have it both ways.
My God. Stumbled on this and what a goddamn work of cinema. There are so many things that make this good. Your shoot location, the color grading, the really subtle lens flares. When the sith shows up and we first see him the in reflection of the water. I think what makes this so much more effective and captivating than other lightsaber shorts I've seen is from the very beginning, each moment of the fight is advancing the story telling around this character. She kneels in the beginning to be more one with the force, to dispel the fear she feels. Also, the choreography isn't just people bashing sabers together. There are a ton of little story beats in each bit. She's trying to break his staff, he's trying to use the force to throw her off balance. Also, there are real stakes. The emotional center of this piece is her son. We as the audience don't want to see him see her die. Fucking incredible work, not just from a cinematography perspective, but from a storytelling perspective as well.
Underrated comment

bro calm down
Sorry for the replys from people who don't understand the nuances in storytelling, great analysis! You clearly know how a good fight scene should be constructed.
@GilbertWriting This, all of this! This is an epic duel! I want to see much, much more.
I love both the execution and the theme. I was wondering what the twist would be, or if there was one at all, and it was wonderful to see how despite seeing her apparent doom she chose to fight and how it paid off in the end

It’s insane how fans make lightsaber duels better than they make in movies. Bravo. So well done
simple fans care more tham the company
@@tio_john you’re spot on there.
And yet, without the duels in the movies, the fans who make these videos wouldn't be figuring out how to take what was done in the movies to the next level.
Best lightsaber duel in the star wars movies was in Ep1. Ep3's was great, too, but single blade vs lightstaff introduced an entirely new dynamic. That was an inspiration to fan film makers, and they have been one-uping it, and each other, ever since.
@J. E. M Sequels? When did this happen and why wasn't I told? :D
I know what the OP was referring to. But let's face it, the duels in the sequels barely qualified to use the word. Just some arbitrary saber swinging and clashing just to tick off "Lightsaber scene" from the list of Star Wars tropes they had to put in to barely earn the right to slap "Star Wars" on the label.
But hey... It's good to know that if I want a good lightsaber duel fix, There's all these great fan productions that not only do them right, but are constantly daring to mix things up to keep it fresh.
A metal bar is more lethal than a lightsaber. That's the new canon, so the author did it right.
Beautiful... refreshing... brought tears to my eye that some people still care about this story. Amazing work!
You know it’s a good fight when you recognize what forms they’re using.
Yup, it's good to recognize Lightsaber form or fencing form in the duel, not baseball batting form...
His first move, when he just casually uses the force to lower her lightsaber was so cool.
Pro Gamer movie.
Things like this truly bring balance to the force.
Thank You for sharing your amazing talents.
this alone is better than the entire sequel trilogy
Let's just put aside the fact that everything was shot and directed beautifully and point out the amazing choreography for a minute. Wow. Great work you guys.
Gonna start by saying I really liked this, but that doesn't absolve it from criticism. I see so many people ripping Disney apart for how getting stabbed by a lightsaber is meaningless now, and here we see the same thing in a fan made video...

Wonderfully done. Not only was this the best use of a light-pike I’ve ever seen, but I loved how creative the ending was. Not ending the duel with a saber, but with the jagged end of the broken pike. Amazing
That was a great touch. Star Wars always seems to forget that anything sharp can still be a weapon. She didn’t have her saber, but she still had an effective spear.
@@parksnewbornportraiture4989 sure, sure, personally not getting the decision to go for forsce-pulling a stick as opposed to just picking a blade, lying right under her, and I'm trying to put myself in her shoes here really hard... No, no, still not getting it. The touch is indeed kind of nice though.
@@leth5540 Poetic justice is sweet, is it not? and the irony of falling to your own weapon is all the more galling
@@BTTRSWYT They kinda teamed on him though ngl gotta respect the 1v1
I like this movie. You and Lizzy both have really impressive physicality. You managed to do something I’ve puzzled over a lot which is make you both feel huge and powerful. Can’t wait to see what’s next from you
Touching, exciting and absolutely Star Wars viby, congratulations. This is the kind of stuff we wanna see
Yo let’s go badass Jedi mom! This was an awesome short. It also proves what I have thought about the Jedi for a long time. That attachments and emotions are not evil. Love, be it compassion or passion, can be a great motivator for keeping you in the good side.
Why doesn’t Disney hire people like these to make Star Wars movies? I want to watch a movie about these characters now!
Because Disney put people in charge of SW who don’t give a fuck about the IP
Because this doesn't push their degenerate agenda
@@Darjaboo someone has been forgetting to take their meds
@@jackson.6282 Disney definitely has a political agenda
@@leonrussell9607 oh no, gay people exist and you have to see them in media. Oh the horror. I’m so so sorry your life is so hard
Man, this is so well done! I loved the use of the lightsaber pike and the force powers, bravo 👏
Amazing, Max! I loved this. So much emotion through the entire thing. Definitely rivals Loyalty. The fight was brutal and gripping, and kept me wondering if it would end the way her premonition foretold. And Emily was great too! She did a great job matching the emotional intensity of scene. This is definitely one to be proud of.
This is amazing! Had so much fun making this but its even more amazing watching the final!!
Excellent. Wish Disney could pull off this level of choreography where it looks like the actors are fighting rather than dancing.
Congratulations ...amazing work, so inspiring thank you
Lizzy nailed the acting here! Phenomenal!
Fear is a path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to... suffering.
Felt like this quote fit this perfectly. Great job!
Really though, this is the fight we didn’t get in the movies. And this follows reality so well in the golden rule of fighting with blades:
The loser dies on the street, the winner dies in the ambulance.
Best fanfilm I've never seen!! Everything is so clean, the music, the lightsabers, the acting (except for the little girl but it's normal), the story...
I love the fact that the woman knew she was about to die but she accepted it, and I also love the fact that the good side wins (I'm tired of seeing the dark side victorious).
It's the second time I'm watching it but I still love it! Thank you.
Really impressive and so much to commend - especially liked the longer polearm/naginata kind of sabre and how you put those moves together
As a film student this is gorgeous to look at, every shot is aesthetically pleasing and the special effects look so real! You made the protagonists relatable and most importantly the choreography, though simple, was easy to follow and effective for telling this story. Take a sub 🔥
This is absolutely fantastic...I love the design of the staff saber and the staff is made of beskar but its still added with other elements that's why it was able to break (That's my assumption anyway). The fight as well is really done well and the VFX of the lightsaber is crisp.
Edit: I forgot to add this in...WHY DID IT TAKE ME 2 WEEKS TO KNOW THIS VID EXISTED.
I think it's more like a nagamaki sword where the grip handle is just as long as the blade itself.
The pure art of Star Wars only the real fans could make, not a crappy profit made fanfic trilogy a certain mouse did. Fantastisc!!!
in 7 minutes you captured what a multi million dollar blockbuster project refuses to understand about starwars. It all starts with "a New hope" and you completely demonstrated that. This is truly amazing and I have faith that one day star wars will recapture our imagination and hearts thanks to dedicated fans like yourself. cannot praise this enough. Thank you
This is so well made from the sound design to the choreography. The music is spot on, and the editing and cinematography is executed properly to allow the scene to breath and flow. There was more emotional impact in this one video than the whole of the sequel trilogy, great work from everyone involved.
That was f***ing brilliant! Emotionally gripping, fantastic choreography and very well acted and filmed. Well done to all. I’ll defo be rewatching this
After all that no force heal....
Definitely loved all the references here alot of thought went into this. Masterfully done
Totally completely incredibly awesome! Thank you.
The sound design is really what stands out for me. And I feel like the entire production from costumes to acting to sfx are amazing! The sound design just really really landed with me.
Fantastic job to your team! I’d love to see what you could make if Disney hired you for a feature length film!
The fight choreography and setting were both so unique and cool.
Well done Bru, nailed several ranges of emotion in a handful of minutes. Mostly dialogue with the eyes. Masterful.
So good! Excellent acting, story, direction, choreography and cinematography. Well done!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is an absolutely amazing Star Wars fan film guys you knocked it out of the park again ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really loved all this even bringing in Beskar and even with no backstory gives us the emotion of the mother and daughter. Hope to see more
OMG! So incredibly well done! I love it! Bravo bravo bravo!
Verrrry Goooood.
I have tears in my eyes, which means you did something real.
My congratulations.
Fan from Poland.
Best lightsaber fan film I have seen in many, many years! Choreography, cinematography, acting, music, sound, costumes, location, amazing all around! Haven't kept up with the contest in years now but I hope this does well!
Showing her getting stabbed, but having the fight swing her way as she injured his legs, then it happening anyway. This is how you create tension and tell a story in a fight scene. Great work sir. Subscribed.
