Star Wars: Premonition | Award Winning Lightsaber Duel | SaberComp 2022 

Yes! Yes! And absolutely heck yes! 🎉 Y’all did it again. This felt so very SW to me thematically.

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.

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!

FINALLY! We get to see a lightsaber pike in live-action, and this entire duel looks phenomenal! Great work!

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. 🤔

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!

I feel like she meditated to accept her vision, managing her fear, and live through the inevitable with courage.

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

Rule of the SW New Age - nobody dies from a lightsaber stab.

As a musician and a Star Wars fan, I’m amazed at how well your composer did with his score, and how your director and editors gave him the necessary room to influence and accompany the story in accordance with Star Wars’ niche! Absolutely outstanding work guys, I loved every second of this.

this is what star wars feels like, epic, emotional, and energetic. Fantastic work overall

This told a better story than the 7,8 and 9 combined. Great job

I love these little fan productions, they add such cool stories to an already awesome universe.

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.

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.

Markiplier turned to the dark side

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

As an avid fan of KotFE, seeing a Pike Saber actually used in a high production value duel brings me immense joy.

this alone is better than the entire sequel trilogy

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 👍

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!

The fact that she meditates before the duel actually tells you a lot

They created more emotion and investment from the audience with little dialogue than some of the latest films. Bravo! ❤

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.

I felt more emotion in the first 3 minutes of this than in the last two movies combined.

I love the lightsaber pike. Haven't seen that in a solid minute. Well done!

this shirt film actually got my choked up and wanting to cry honestly..the part where the child saves thier mother with the force was beautifully done..

This destroys anything Disney has ever put out. Excellent short film. From FX, Story, to Score 👍💥

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.

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.

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 ;)

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.

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 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

orijinal serinin duygularına sadık bir kısa film olmuş. Umut ve umutsuzluk, zafer ve kayıp, korku ve sevinç duygu dengesi gibi serinin filmlerinde gördüğümüz duygular var, ne kadar klişe bir son bağlamı olsa da, izlettirdi

Extraordinary! Just made my day finding this 🤩 Thank you to all involved

02:15 instant goosebumps - Qui-Gon during the fight with Maul at the theed power plant!

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 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.

not a word spoken. that baskar lightsaber staff is insane as well.

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

I'm fanboying so hard right now. You guys raise the bar every time. I'm thoroughly impressed.

That was absolutely wonderful ❤ this really made my day!

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

His first move, when he just casually uses the force to lower her lightsaber was so cool.

You know it’s a good fight when you recognize what forms they’re using.

Touching, exciting and absolutely Star Wars viby, congratulations. This is the kind of stuff we wanna see

This was 20x better than anything from Disney (except Rogue One). It put everything else to shame. Congratulations. An epic feat.

It’s insane how fans make lightsaber duels better than they make in movies. Bravo. So well done

absolutely fantastic work by everyone!

That was incredible! I had chills the whole time! Outstanding job!

Amazing work with great emotional performances! The King is back 👑

Now THIS is what a lightsaber fight should’ve been! So much better than what the sequels gave us! Excellent work!! 👏👏👏👏👏

This looked really good i would totally watch more if they did a series with her

I literally got chills when the Sith showed up

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!

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

i love these duels... may the fans never stop making them! The force be with you fellow SW fans ❤

Things like this truly bring balance to the force. Thank You for sharing your amazing talents.

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.

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.

That was absolutely beautiful! ❤❤ 😢! I’m more than blown away! Thank you so much for an unbelievable 7mins! ❤❤

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!

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

Really well done, I like the idea of the emotional bond between a parent and child helping them connect deeper with the force in the moment of greatest need.

Totally completely incredibly awesome! Thank you.

I got goosebumps, AMAZING!

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.

OMG! So incredibly well done! I love it! Bravo bravo bravo!

That was very moving. A mother protecting her child. Then her child protecting her! You really captured Star Wars.

This is amazing! Had so much fun making this but its even more amazing watching the final!!

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

Man, this is so well done! I loved the use of the lightsaber pike and the force powers, bravo 👏

Perfect in absolutely every way. Phenomenal.

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.

Lizzy nailed the acting here! Phenomenal!

Words cannot describe enough how incredible this duel was. Absolutely fantastic work.

Felt like genuine original star wars. 7 epic minutes. bravo.

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!

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 🔥

Wow! This was nothing short of AMAZING!! Cinema quality storytelling and cinematography are excellent!! Well done!!! 👏

This was absolutely good! I enjoyed watching it.

This is an absolutely amazing Star Wars fan film guys you knocked it out of the park again ❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.

Holy heck this...THIS is Star Wars! Amazing!

wow, I love the cinematography, awesome job guys

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.

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!

This was just amazing and absolutely attention getting! Great job for a short film!

The pure art of Star Wars only the real fans could make, not a crappy profit made fanfic trilogy a certain mouse did. Fantastisc!!!

2:48 is the cleanest and most accurate fan-made lightsaber ignition I've ever seen.

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!

Great work. I really enjoyed watching that

So much story in seven minutes. Just stunning work!

The fight choreography and setting were both so unique and cool.

Why doesn’t Disney hire people like these to make Star Wars movies? I want to watch a movie about these characters now!

Beautiful... refreshing... brought tears to my eye that some people still care about this story. Amazing work!

came across this thanks to Zayde Wolf and had to come see the full video, absolutely loved it!!

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

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
