VADER EPISODE 1: SHARDS OF THE PAST - REACTION!! 

13:08 the 501st is the battalion led by Anakin during the Clone Wars, and later on in the Empire known as "Vader's Fist"

Star Wars Theory made a video right after the one saying how Warner Chappel claimed his video that LucasFilm intervened and told Warner to knock it off. So He's free to keep making these videos but he needs drastically more funds to make Ep 2.

But, Star Wars Theory hired a new composer, so while it sounds like the original score, it's technically a parody. And he contacted Disney and they said if he didn't monetize it, he wouldn't have any trouble with them. That's why he was mad, because they broke their word.

Great cliffhanger. Be sure to support SWTheory by viewing and liking his videos so he can make chapter 2 and we can see Mace Windu back in action.

Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.'

the 501st are yes a charity group approved by Lucas Film(i was apart of them) but they are also Vader/Anakin's clones who have been in the series sense ep 3 and clone wars animated show

He didnt use John William's score He used a rendition of it

The 501st was Anakin's Skywalker clone army in the clone wars

CORRRECTION, KYLO REN IS NOT A SITH ^_^

This is episode is so well done, I can't wait for the next one

He used his original music, he got composers to do renditions of the music, but Warner Chapel found the music too reminiscent of the original music so they put a claim on it. But after many videos made by several people against the actions of Warner, Lucasfilm stepped in due to the fact that Warner Chapel was stepping out of place against Lucasfilm's agreement with Star Wars Theory (he could make the film if he didn't crowd fund or monitize, and give credit where it is due); and commanded Warner Chapel to remove the claim, and they did.

The Disney movies give "respect to the past"? By shitting on the original characters, their accomplishments and having everything in the OT amount to nothing?

This is canon for me. And foreshadowing of Emo-Ren As to a theory as to why Vader makes no attempt to kill the Emperor. There's no reason too. His wife and unborn child are gone Investor $150, 000 of his own money. He wasn't allowed to crowdfund and he's not allowed to make money from it And the music was music he paid a composer to write, asking that the music be inspired by the composer from the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy. Just notes Star Wars Theory has shared and you may not have heard. Thanks for sharing guys, it's nice to have a group of fellow fans "in the theatre."

This is way better than the last Jedi

the film did premiere in a theater

really good reaction, i liked that you gave alot of insight to it, and not just rambled about the action scenes , i love to see channels that have knowledge of what they're watching, muy buen video!

The guy's reaction on our right is priceless when Padme's eyes turned lol

15:04 That's not why Vader wouldn't kill Sidious :/ He wouldn't kill him bc he couldn't! Didn't you see the Force vision giving clairvoyance to Vader? Sidious would use illusions ("the dark side clouds everything" it's deceptive) so Vader would never realy be able to strike him, for not yet being able to see through the illusions (like SIdious did with the whole Padme thing, some sharinggan stuff) So Vader wouldn't kill Sidious bc Sidious was much stronger. Not because of politics.... At the end of episode 6 Vader killed him bc he was distracted and overconfident while making Luke look like a light bulb.

Haha got damn man I was waiting for you to review our film

There‘s a book called "Dark Lord" that has a pretty good explanation for why Vader did not kill the emperor. He said he needed him to become more powerful. For some time. Just like Palpatine needed his master plagueis until he had taught him everything and then murdered him.

There WILL be another episode, check his channel every week

Enjoying the Superman love. Shirts look dope

I’m cringing at their lack of Star Wars knowledge.

Regarding the whole "incident" with Warner Chappell, he actually hired a composer to do the score, based on John Williams theme because he knew this would happen. The reason he got upset is because he made a deal with Lucasfilm and Warner Chappell said screw it. At the end of the day Disney saved him since Lucasfilm came in and told Warner Chappell to disregard their claim. At least thats the last I heard.

"Respect to the past" Good one.

Blackwave better be a thing lol

Episode2 won’t be out for a long time because the creator was told by Lucas it must all come out of pocket he’s not allowed sponsorships or funding and so it’s gonna take a few years

Really Cool video Fantastic Film

07:50 They're not black... That's the lighting.... Or did you also think the Emperor was blue?

I love this so much!! #PalpatineApproved

"WOAH WOAH WOAH!!"😂😂😂

Luke and padme were the only ones who really loved and belived in him. When padme died luke were the only one who was there for his father and he had the change (at least for a moment) to he dad vader with the heart of Anakin💞

The Disney & Warner issues have been fixed. The claim was removed as directed by Lucasfilm. Star Wars Theory did NOT use any music from John Williams. SWT actually paid a composer to make an original score that is inspired... by John Williams. Hence the reason Lucas Film has Warner Chapel remove the claim. Star Wars Theory is now making Episode 2.

I think these guys like superman.... just a hunch..

Bro that blackwave logo was grate XD

Very well made, obviously by a hardcore fan. Perfect for the SW fans that have trouble moving on beyond1983.

@7:12 Star wars theory played vader out of his suit, fun fact lmao

By one minute in you guys seemed to have accepted THIS Vader to be THE Vader we know.

Black wave 😂😂😂😂 I'm dead

7-8 still respect the past , really???? Since when?

Ha! Blackwave. I'm guessing that's a reference to Blindwave.

yep you told them to wear superman shirts, but this is a star wars film

Kind of funny, in the Star Wars movies they had a black guy voicing Vader and a white guy in the suit, now in Vader Shards of the past a black guy is in the suit and a white guy is voicing him lmfao

Guys, SW Theory hired a composer and made original music based on John Williams’ themes. He cleared it with Lucasfilm ahead of release and followed their rules for fan films to a T... that moment in the film that has what sounds like the Imperial march for one moment when Vader chokes out Palpatine... sounded too much like the original according to Warner Chapell. Had they not walked it back this would have cause a full on fan backlash that would make the current Last Jedi backlash seem weak. This film is the best Star Wars fans like me have experienced since George Lucas was running things.

100k dollars fanfilm beating 100 million dollars sequels movies... if disney would know that real fans are what make this franchise great and not wokeness and horrible writting... and btw. how can you be so hypocrite to said that the new sequels have "respect for the past" when all they had done so far is destroy and shit in everything that was before episode VII and treat the main characters of the OT like less than extras?.... and just for you know akasan, that wasn't force projection, that was vader having a dream about what would happen if he attemps to kill sidius for mere rage for not being able to save padme.... force projection is, allow side with lightspeed ramming, one of the most stupid things ever created for the franchise. even more if after the force projection you died of a heart attack...

1. Vader: i will not fail 2. Vader On naboo The green arrow: you have failed Anikan skywalker

So it's the urban blind wave?

I disliked the lights in the Naboo building because it was night time

the black suit superman is the best version of superman

are these the guys who sit behind you in the cinema talking all the way through the movie.

7:35 is it me or did Vader’s eye turn blue?

4 Black Superman's

FINALLY!!! Someone says Mace Windu in a reaction. Seen quite a few reactions and every single one asked who that was but when I heard Mace from you guys I knew I finally watched REAL Star wars fans. Freakin thank you.

All life's matter.

The force is weak in these 4. The music was original they claimed it because it "sounded like" original score. But since Lucasfilm have rectified this. I like the middle guy's reference to the old SWCW animation and that Mace Windo scene. It was badass. In that animation series you see so much more. Like how Anakin got his scar.

I can’t take the Emperor seriously

Only if this was my "501st" time I've watched this episode. :D Now I have to ask... why is it that black people give better reactions in these reaction videos?

I don’t know how Akasan got into Star Wars by watching TFA and TLJ, because that is not Star Wars. Screw Disney!

Akasin City, I know I’m not funny.

It's weird to see marvel fans react to Star Wars content

React during. Coverse after.

They're black? To tell you the truth I didn't even notice.

Do your new guys just talk over the whole video or what?

You watched the older trilogy but *didnt get into it* ... Whats wrong with you?

Fans weren't pissed that Luke *could* use force projection, they were pissed cuz : 1) it made no sense since he just died anyway, he could as well have been there himself and we wouldve gotten an actual fight between him and Kylo. 2)Had Kylo won that fight or even if they went to a draw and Luke then died from exhausting himself wouldve helped to build Kylo some much needed imposing character, he already lost to Rey *twice* and was saved by her atleast once, a random girl with no lineage, basically no training whatsoever and who've known about the force for a week... Kylo is about as threatening as a damp towel at this point. Fighting the *real* Luke Skywalker, even to a draw wouldve re-established him as somewhat of a threat. 3) Its so god damn anticlimactic 4) having one of the most beloved characters through all time rot away on a stone in the sunset as a faliure and a coward is not a worthy end to such a character.

This was a really good fan film even tho I fell off of Star Wars after force awakens, Rogue one I liked a lot

Please don't make blackwave a thing. Just bro. Please. We better then that.

What Star Wars bible? That was a just some "no-longer-canon according to Disney" source-book!

Star wars theory did do a premiere at a theater

Here's the thing I think you don't get it he went to Lucas films made a deal with them they said he can make the movie but as long as he didn't monetize it or made funds out of it so he couldn't make any money out of it but he made a deal with lucasfilm and it wasn't RU-vid that claimed it it was Disney personally Disney personally so they went over RU-vid and cleaned it personally in the reason I I'm telling you this is because this man-made hard work and the song The score doesn't appear until the very end like if you stayed watching it doesn't appear until the very end most of the other music was made by somebody else course ahead you know the baseline of Star wars but he tweaked it to the point where it was personal music actual music from women Brothers the actual song that's being taken from there it's at the very end at the very end I'm not pissed at Disney because you know 8 or 9 or 7 or whatever you were pissed at I don't care if you hate so little like solo I'm pissed because they take a man's hard work and make it their own when this man clearly had to deal with lucasfilm and then that's Lucas stones and came in and saved it all hail lucasfilm and watch nine I bet you're going to be good I'm not a big fan but that was some good aspects to it goes red guards were they called praetorian guards

I consider episode 8 not canon

The 501st fan group is definitely not what it used to be. Basically Disney’s Star Wars brown shirts. They’ll regularly ignore events that don’t have enough publicity, and are apparently perfectly fine with having its members use physical force against people who voice issue with the movies. Used to be in their Facebook community, and was told “my negativity wasn’t needed” when I confronted one of the admin’s pals who was threatening physical violence against people who are not a fan of the new trilogy. Basically it’s a sham organization, now.

The first scene shows what vader dreams of everytime he is in his chamber but later he knows that he was not strong enough to kill Sidious. Kyol Ren and TLJ was just dumb and ep 8 should be struck from the timeline

Four guys in Superman T-shirts= instant dislike.

Darth Sidious was 1,000x more powerful than snoke. Best lightsaber duelest and most powerful force user all time. Kylo much weaker than Vader. Snoke weaker than palp. Beating snoke means nothing he only had a couple scenes.

8 and 9 are total abominations. 7 is decent but a cheap knock off of 4 (which is why it is decent, 4 is amazing) What Disney and KKKennedy have done to this franchise is unforgivable.

batman is better

Sorry it's cool they made thier own film.. but it's not good at all.

👎 you earned the two dislikes🤷‍♂️
