From the depths of my nerdy heart, thank you to everyone who clicked on this video to watch my Darth Vader fan film! This was a passion project fueled by my love for Star Wars, and I'm so appreciative of all the people who helped me make it. A special thanks to Devin Mombourquette for elevating this project beyond what I could have done alone. We give a lot of critiques and praises to films on this channel, but it's a great feeling to present our own project to the scrutiny of an audience. Whether you love it, hate it, or thought it was meh, thank you for giving it a chance. Maybe one day I'll have an actual budget! Happy May 4th, and may the Force be with you. Edit: We just finished a "behind the scenes" video of how we made this if you're into that kind of thing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xWv349F_Tok.html

great job but not sure why Vader asked the other guy "Is it him?" shouldn't he be able to sense Luke? other than that it's great. Love the inner conflict. We all have light and dark in us, it's the acknowledgement of it and the knowledge of our own ability to choose which to listen to that is the deciding factor. that is where the real power lies. the gift of free will.

@@Hobodeluxe007 I think it's fair to say there was a large enough physical distance that he couldn't tell right away. He didn't notice Kenobi until he was on the actual Death Star with him, and these X-Wings were pretty far out by the time the ISD's popped in.

@SweetZombiJesus 6 дней назад

While I applaud their effort, this short is on par with Disney in terms of writing. The dialogue between the Vader's was uninspired except for one good line, and there were so many oed choices that hurt the film. 2 starfighters, yet they send an Armada of ships. Random Mandalorian post credits. The whole film basically re-iterates something we already know, that Vader still has some light in him. This is more a show of sfx and cinematography, but I don't think those two things are the main issues with the Disney projects.

@alexincobra7379 6 дней назад

@@SweetZombiJesus actually they were not trying break canon so they don't need to add new ideas. Breaking canon or rebooting already made work has the risk of losing fans. Their efforts has my support in any other future endeavors. You can't please everyone, obviously you are not pleased, but as long as they have support of the majority of fans, that's what counts.

@DMFX1 23 дня назад

Hello, Star Wars fans! I've been working on the VFX here for nearly two years now. It's insane to see this is actually about to hit all these eyeballs after all this time. This massive, all-consuming, often frustrating task was a huge love letter to a franchise that I, like so many of you, grew up with. The intro was originally supposed to be a few short shots, but in my stubbornness I insisted on something grandiose to appease my inner 5-year old. I could've kept working on this until the day I died, so luckily Holden drew a line in the sand and said "May 4th is the day." Still, it's so weird to finally let it go and leave it with all of you now. I hope you like it. -Devin

That's why the Dog Fights looked antiquated, and out of sorts in the vacuum of space. I am glad this fan film took the laws of physics, into consideration.

Holden. This was quite extraordinary as Annikin/Vader is the very literary essence of a tortured yet the greatest hero and villain in one. Luke is more powerful due to Vaders suit. This was genius. If Disney had an ounce of intelligence not stupidity you could have written for them. This would unite all fans. There is no Star Wars w/o the skywalkers. Bravo

This is a fantastic addition to Star Wars lore. Thanks for letting me be a small part of such a fun experience!

Never ceases to amaze me how sw fans can make better and passionate fan films with a much smaller budget yet can still tell a compelling story. Good job guys! MTFBWY!

@redranger807 22 дня назад

This was absolutely amazing. Truely respectful to the OG and Prequel trilogies. Loved how you got to actually show us the struggle that vader faced after his encounter with Luke. Absolutely brilliant.

@WILSONsHobbies 23 дня назад

Well............this is, most likely one of the best Star Wars fan film ever made! 2 thumbs up! Mr. Hardman!

@perssontm1628 23 дня назад

I just wish the saber fighting looked a bit better. And lets not talk about the second vaders armor being all messed up and them not being the same height lol. But I love how they rescited the sith and jedi code that was pretty cool.

I'll put it top 3, but TIE Fighter anime is still the best.

This is absolutely AMAZING! The best fan made I've ever seen! The quality of the effects, the renders, the coreographies and the story is truly a pearl! VERY VERY GREAT JOB! LUCASFILM...YOU MUST SEE!

Great film showing the conflict within Vader as a prequel theme leading up to Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. God job, gave me goosebumps!

That beach has sand. Vader HATES sand It's rough, it's coarse, and it gets everywhere.

This was an AMAZING fan film. I love the interesting story, the visual effects, everything. You guys did a great job on this, and the fact that Darth Vader was dueling himself was really crazy to me.

@JimmySol87 20 дней назад

Bro! The production value on this was top notch! Really blew me away! The cinematography was incredible! Definitely top 3 fan films I've ever saw! Loved the story too! I could see some of these shot holding up on the big screen. Like Vader boarding his ship and the battle after. Man that was cool! Thanks for making this! Disney killed any hope i had for Star Wars and you gave me hope again.

@alexincobra7379 9 дней назад

The best fan film made yet. So detailed and looks like out of "Rogue One."

@rizz917 14 дней назад

Loved this. Better than ANYTHING Disney has put out. Well done.

Awesome film! As a lifelong Star Wars fan since the 90's, this ticked every one of my boxes for an enjoyable Star Wars fan film. Love the TIE pilots just hanging out sitting on their craft in the docking cradles and I love the implication that Vader has the battalion of troopers go into a full parade formation purely to witness how awesome the Advanced x1 is and see him take off in it. Interesting idea of having Vader and Anakin facing off against each other in an internal struggle like this, with Anakin reciting the Jedi Code while Vader quoted the Sith Code. I like to imagine that Death Trooper just watched Vader have a mental breakdown and start fighting nothing, deciding not to question things. Congratulations to you and the entire team that worked on this, I can tell a lot of work and passion went into it.

@flexsouce7485 23 дня назад

This is one of the most empathetic and relatable Darth Vader stories ever told. I want to thank you. This fan film was my therapy for the day🙂💪 Thank you for giving me hope in myself and reminding me that there is always a light in us we forget about. Thank you for this materpiece❤️

@galinhristov623 13 дней назад

Darth Vader in the suit fighting with a blue lightsaber is the piece of art we never knew we needed to see! In just a few-minute-long fan-film you managed to present to people what Star Wars is all about, incredible work!!

@commandercaptain4664 11 дней назад

The moment Vanakin showed up, I was hoping "blue lightsaber blue lightsabaer blue lightsaber", so I knew I needed to see it.

@TheKulu42 10 дней назад

This is the kind of film that will keep Star Wars truly alive! That scene when Vader was coming down the stone hall with light saber glowing was chilling!

@johnnyjohnson1326 14 дней назад

Still better than anything Kennedy has put out in 15 years! Great work!!!

@DeathStarFilmCompany 9 дней назад

DUDE, HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE??? Not only did you make it look basically identical to the original trilogy with the effects, music, etc, but you told an amazing story and made it look awesome!!!! You even got the Darth Vader voice pretty close to the original!!! It feels like an original Star Wars movie. Great Job!!!

@skullvsgaming500 23 дня назад

I love fan films that goes in place between movies cause to me this is my head-cannon now and it makes sense for the overall story particularly in this one where Vader fights Anakin cause it leads to him coming back to the light in episode 6 really well done👍🏻

@terpgirl5 21 день назад

I feel the same! This is canon for me now!

@Rikrik1138 23 дня назад

I can definitely tell by the sand and the color of the water that this was definitely shot on the beaches in your local area. Y’all did a great job with this, kudos to all involved!

How would you know his local area? How to you know the water colour hasn't been edited??

@Rikrik1138 19 дней назад

@@ImJustRob. I live not far from where Holden lives. It’s likely I’ve been on that same beach, or near it at some point.
