- After failing to prevent the Death Star's destruction, Darth Vader is tasked with learning from Sith Lords of the Old Republic.
An original story written and directed by Ashild Adam and Ben Alfrejd, based on our favorite character from the Star Wars universe! - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
I’ll be honest, in the first minute I thought “oh sh*t.” 18 minutes I won’t get back if I stick it out. But, I did stick it. Turned out to be 18 well spent. Original and worth it.
I am watching because of your comment. Please be right.
@@paimon4615 don't leave us hanging like that!
@@paimon4615 was he right???
Help
I feel you man. Pretty wicked flick.
4:27 Vader just sees [Influence Lost: Kreia] pop up right infront of him but on a fr note this is a great fan film!
Nice job guys, that Vader costume looks perfect and I got chills with the greatest failure comment, Nihilus is awesome
I enjoyed seeing nihilus too ❤
"Do you not crave our knowledge?"
Y’all just explained vader so perfect proof to my 007 theory lie in your movie
The costumes vaders dialect is on point gives us shades of Anakin
I am very impressed with the quality of story that was displayed in this posting. Everyone needs to share and show their support to help the makers get the attention of Lucas Film. This style of writing is the shot in the arm that the franchise needs. Stories between the bigger stories is what they have been giving us lately anyway with Rogue One and Mando. This would be the perfect sort of thing to bridge the gap between episodes 4 and 5.
Keep up the good work guys! I look forward to more content from you all.
Bravo. A side of Darth Vaders Sith trials. Awesome
This is it. What a masterpiece. I enjoyed this more than I have lol.
The battle between Vader and Darth Nihillus was epic 😮
I thought it was epic as well enjoyed. Lore wise nihilus was actual a very clumsy dualist since he primarily relied on his force powers to kill. so the fact that the duel itself seemed very standard and not as fast or flashy as the other fights shows me they really did the research and tried to keep the character as lore accurate as possible which I really appreciate as a fan of nihilus ❤
@@flyfonz8705 It was interesting that Nihilus never tried to use Force drain in the fight, with Darth Krayt when in Holocron he also imparted his advice to him and didnt try to use Force drain even when Krayt proceeded to destroy the holocron, it tells a lot that Nihilus remained Loyal to the Sith in death far more than with his hunger in life.
But he wouldn’t beat Vader in straight up lightsaber combat though, that was the point of dooku and Obiwan in the prequels to show how he became an elite swordsman
All of the fights would have looked a lot better playing at an increased speed. ⚔️
@@1man_crowdyeah this duel was like almost as bad and slow as the first one from a new hope
I feel like this definitely could be included in the actual canon. Very good epilogue for a new hope & sets up the Empire Strikes Back tone very succinctly... Bravo!!
Damn, that ending was so surprising! I genuinely felt dread as Vader finished his trial. Yet, given Vader is masked, it's hard to gauge if he didn't feel change afterwards. Excellent movie everyone. You did very well. I hope to see more content like this in the future.
Most impressive.
The story is amazing, you understand the physche of vader very well. Top!
What the actual F did I just watch!!! This was absolutely amazing!! Nice reveal on Nihilus!!, that was cool 😎. …Have you thought about doing a Darth Bane/Zannah video?? 🙏 ….this was an absolute pleasure to watch 🤘 great job 👏
That was awesome the darth vader suit looked amazing
AWESOME! Great short story and production. Good dive into the psychology of the Sith. Thank you!
Holy shit this was fucken legendary. I have day dreamed about this for so many years, you don’t even fucken understand.
Very good story arc and compelling dialogue. Huge budgets can give us impressive visual effects but it doesn't take money to write a story with heart. Disney should learn this lesson.
well done! Loved it!
I'm very impressed.
I liked that Nihilus himself was given voice lines and agency of his own. A fitting tribute to all the great Sith lords and the duality of good and evil foiling inside Anakin Skywalker. Amazing work, loved every second!
That was pretty awesome. Can't wait to see more videos from you
This was better then the entire sequel trilogy for sure 😂
Soooo good! Keep it up! Loved it!
DARTH NIHILUS!!! What an intro.
Wow this is great obviously the acting and visuals will be no where near the actual films due to the low budget but man story is interesting the details are cool the chography is really really good the dialogue is good and stays true to the lore well done 👍
When have we heard Darth Vader say "Im on the Leader"... But the film was good
A New Hope 1:55:15
@@DrDarthVet rewatched... Thanks for the info... I'm so sorry...
My only critique is the that Palpatine seems ineffective/clunky with two lightsabers. But I understand why you chose to arm him with two sabers in the beginning since Palpatine would easily body Vader with just force lighting coming out of the gate. 120 out 100 I enjoyed it. Also don’t think I didn’t notice Palpatine’s hood falling off 😉😂
Looking at it I thought of the Christmas story, the one with Scrooge who dreams of the past, the present and the future. Who knows why he found three different characters here too... but the story is different from many others and finally pleasant and interesting, even if sometimes boring because most of the time there were only fights with the lightsaber. However, and I repeat, all at all it is pleasant and interesting. 😊
I watched this once.
And just had to a few times more.
It's fascinating how a piece of art can be so good, despite still having some obvious lackings.
The overall story is something so exquisite, that it could canonically (not disney) fit well between ANH and TESB.
The dialogue varies from exceedingly good (especially some Kreia's lines) to physically cringe-inducing, which is generally similar to the Prequels. Choreography is obviously not professional. Editing is competent, as well as choice of music.
This is an intriguing production, made with undeniable passion and surfacing great creative potential - but also with major flaws, which can be corrected.
The transition from the scene with Nihilus to the vision of Anakin and Padme is probably my favorite moment.
The dialogue is great ..but I just can't get past the emperor 😂😂😂
This is some Vader comic type ishh
This is how to pull off good storytelling on a limited budget (I can see much went into the superb costume/makeup)!
It felt immersive. The dialogue was philosophically on par with what we've come to expect from the great Lucasarts games, with solid vocal delivery by the actors, (the scenes with Darth Revan and Darth Treya were way too good for not being licensed Lucasfilm material!) The dueling wasn't cringey like so many amateur fan films, in fact it felt very accurate for lacking the sheer Force-imbued athleticism and training that true Sith in-universe would have had, (certainly not to say the actors didn't display a surprising amount of agility and skill for being fan film participants.)
When the Darth Nihilus theme kicked in when Treya referenced her greatest failure, I got the space shivers down my spine!
I already said it but this was way too good for a fan film.
this was cool!
You my friends have earned a subscriber 💯 I wish Disney made a movie or what if series like this🔥 idc if it's low budget a true starwars fan will appreciate this. Honestly one of the best fan film ever I had the blessings to witness 💯 keep it up guys y'all are going places MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU ALL
if they did a solo Vader movie l want everything here in the movie .please do another one you guys are great
Very good story.
Great job guys
Well done, you may consider entering the Fan Film Directors Choice Awards.
We did! Wish us luck!
i see you did enter, just want to make sure you received your ballot. FFDCA
@@glenwolfe8403 we did, working on it
Pretty decent fan film.
Awesome I would put this in an edit
Was the production budget like 50 dollars? Impressive script writing by the way
The backhands and the choreography are on the same level of the original startrek fight scene of captain kirk vs the lizard man in the 60’s
Far better than the last 3 💩 movies Disney put out.
This has to be one of my favourite fan films ever made. I honestly love how this one tackled Vader’s struggle through these ancient Sith masters of the Legends Canon. There was a comment that mentioned Vader/Anakin is apparently stronger than them, but I must look into it as I’m curious on that fact. Could Vader destroy them all alone? Especially Nihilus? The dude that literally can suck the life out of you with the force so he can keep living?! But anyway I loved the story here as it is actually my favourite story I’ve seen for Vader and those lines ruled. I wish Plagueis appeared in this as well, though I can’t think of any reason why he’d appear in the holocron. Maybe he could tell about deception or something? Or maybe just some random words of wisdom that relates to Vader’s fate?
9:06 The Vader broken helmet kinda looks like the one in rebels when Ahsoka slashes he’s helmet on the left that shows the face of fallen Anakin Skywalker
Espectacular video, mereces todo lo mejor de este mundo
this is so sick i love it
Better than the whole Disney franchise. Awesome job!
Loved the story! ❤ Really cooool!
This is fun it's been fun to watch.very well made
The dueling need not to look like you are aiming for the blades. Make it look like you are aiming for the person.
He's not trying to kill them though. Especially not Padmé
Only one he was trying to kill was Anakin, and he was trying to aim for him.
I can’t believe it Vader just killed his old self
I wish I had friends like you guys I have an amazing sw character I’d love to make films as
suprisingly good and deep script, scenario, voice acting..
this is really good production that in my opinion deserve to be continued or at least upgraded by some serius cash !
maybe you guys start crowdfunding campaign for redux version aiming around 100k USD and give this diamond one last thing its missing - polishing
+1 and sub from me, you did really really well !
Very nice costumes
Awesome!
8:05 what a cute slap lol
As a big nihilus fan knowing he just speaks ghost 😂 hearing him with a growly voice is a little funny but this was a great short film
Darth Vader is now in Luke's shoes when Luke fought him on Bespin
so cool
The mention of sand should have set Vader off in a rage
somehow i find tis entertaining than any of Disney's SW series
Great
darth vaders faster than in the original trilogy or in kenobi
That was actually really good,Anakin looked too funny but still,this was better then anything Disney done,great job
cool. shouldve sped up the fight battles though but cool.
Ive got to rewatch 38 imagined after this
Reimagined 38 had an entire professional stunt team including one of the best stunt performers in Hollywood.
Starring Steve Buscemi as Annikan Skywalker, LOL.
I loved the storyline! I heard Revan and Kreia saying things I could agree with (and I've always been Jedi at heart). When Vader finally realised Sidious had tricked him and came for him, I found myself yelling for Vader... not something I ever thought I'd say. And at the end, when the old sith inside the holocron helped him find a new purpose, secretly warning him in as many words that his son had survived and may one day help him defeat the real Sidious...
What things from Revan and Kreia did you agree with? 🧐

"If you can't learn from my greatest student, perhaps you'll learn from my greatest failure."
One of the best lines I've ever heard in a Star Wars film, fan fiction or canon. That made me shiver. Keep making content, please!
it was good but not that good lol
@@musicmane4146 That's your opinion. I stand by what I say.
Anyone who knows Nihilus loves that line and reveal.
@@Futuretense101Wise words my friend,
Wise words.
Everyone knows that failure teaches you more than success ever could.
You can really feel the rage behind the “no one owns me” line.
Ironic how in the original star wars he's basically only been freed by his death
Good plot and story ideas.
The fighting needs to be more deliberate and the actors, like Padme Palps and pre Vader Anakin should look the part more...however that is not easy to achieve.
You put a lot of work in the costume designs for Revan Kreia and Nihilus...which is awesome.
Keep up the good work. You are a great storyteller.
It was not really about the fighting or stunts, it was about the direction of the narrative, the inner turmoil/battles Darth Vader had to go through. He had lost everyone he loved, his mother, his father (Qui-gon Jin), his brother (Obi wan Kenobi), his sister Ashoka, his wife, his children, and his purpose.
This story was about regaining or finding anything left of his purpose in life.
@@Encrypted628 I actually once heard that the reason that Darth Vader goes around fighting is because he wants to find a challenge worthy of killing him(Idk if it's true I just heard that). So this could only just fuel his suffering.
No one has nothing to lose
That is such a poignant line. Powerful yet, sad. Vader still had his life, children he yet to know. Nihlus spoke true, yet Vader didn't know anything beyond the pain of loss.
Damn, this is such a beautifully written Fan Film. Lucas would be proud.
He should have not turn against the jedi idiot he should try to prevent padme death
Palpatine: Hahaha, this is the Vader I met on Coruscant. The Vader *I* made!
That line is so cold, I felt chills. Why is this movie so good?!
'If you depend on others to survive, your life is owned by those that keep you' - nice summary of illusion behind authoritarian power. The story reminds me 'The steppe wolf' by Herman Hesse in a sense of Vader meeting his inner selves and experiencing internal conflict that original Vader sadly didn't until the very end. I'm not a big fan of fan films, because are poorly made, but I liked this one.
“Muh othoritarianism yank cool beans”. - Merican
Fan films can be poorly made if they have great writing and acting.
@@jakebrook I agree. The story plays essential role, that's why I liked this one. But picture this, if fan film with good story, was made in a professional way. That would go viral.
Amazing that fans with minimal budget, film-making experience and acting skills can make a story that grips me more than a lot of what Disney Lucasfilm has put out. Great job guys.
Because fans care and Disney doesn’t they just want money and push their garbage agenda.
@@-thebatman-yes exactly
agreed..apart from the stark fact that kuntleen kunteddy and the pig rian johson destroyed the star wars franchise, brilliant to see/watch any past/presentfuture star wars fan clips as they definitely eclipse disneys 'woke' efforts... burn in the flames of mustafa, disney...
Its just like the Harry Potter fan films. They're better than the actual films.
Even better, the appearances of Darth Revan, Darth Traya and Darth Nihilus gives the impression that this fan film could have taken place in the EU rather than the Disney timeline.
This is better than all of Disney's films combined x10
Absolute fantastic film with the resources you have, you guys are much better writers than the whole Disney team at Lucasfilm keep it up
the more you hate disney shows the fandom menace in you
Everyone is allowed to love Star Wars and this was awesome.
Love how you brought legend characters into this fan film. Absolutely amazing and how you had the scene with Padme and Anakin with Vader in the background it felt like something for the Vader comics.
All around an amazing fan film !! keep making more.
Lessons where good too
The dialog and writing in this is beyond great. 10 out of 10.
"better than disney" - 👺👺
You're joking right?😂
It's a great film, spread the positivity❤
@@quentin580 yeah.. the fanfilm is overall very good. But the dialogue during the padme and anakin part was pretty bad.. nothing wrong with some constructive criticism.
@@coreymckee4844Eh,
I got used to it already.
And besides,
There's always worst than that anyway.
:) Excellent. This hit the right note on so many characters and so many viewpoints. Once again we watch as Anakin's (Vaders) temper and impetuousness is his biggest enemy and downfall. Revan defeats Vader using lightsabers in just moments (as I expected) and *Balanced view is better, Kreia's lessons and examples then controlling multiple lightsabers (I usually really dislike Kriea but you got her 100% here). Darth Nihilus how to use anger and passion to stop at nothing until its done. What Anakin's life (with Padme) could've been if he had seen her first instead of submitting to Palpatine. Very good, you hit the nail right on the head.
Lucas said Vader and Palpatine are the 2 strongest Sith in Star Wars history. SO Vader will win against Revan and Against Nihilus.
@@honestmaster1932 I believe that also. The problem there wasn't strength or force abilities, the problem was Vader's mentality.
Like the prequels, Anakin's/Vader's Temper, frustration and yes Impetuousness were his biggest enemies, that's also what the spirits were trying to tell him and why Sidious was always able to control him. Last scene when he had learned to bide his time and wait for a better opportunity, that way would/did work.
These are Force visions from the Holocron, not real representations of the characters or their power. The fighting ability is determined by where the Force wielder is along their spiritual journey, and whether victory or defeat best serves them. Luke wasn't a match for Vader in Empire Strikes Back but he was able to decapitate the vision on Dagobah.
@@DrDarthVet Vader was beaten by the spirits every time by his own frustration and anger, they all tried to tell him that but much like Anakin from the movie, too angry and undisciplined (Impetuous). Luke was Not ready in ESB, Yoda and Obi-Wan told him that but (much like Anakin) Luke went and Vader handled him (Like Tyrannis to Anakin). Later on Luke had matured and was ready for Vader
This is a really well constructed narrative, and I can tell a large amount of thinking and creativity was put into this and appreciate your diligence. Wonderful video!
i like the detail of vaders mask being fixed the second the holocron is destroyed
the writing in this was phenomenal. anakin and vader mirroring each others moves was brilliant
This film was amazing. It sums up my own take. The ancient Sith would look upon the modern with disgust. They lost the point of being a Sith somewhere. Sidious and Vader have sought power but failed to understand and so their chains were never broken. Kudos to you.
Why are anicent sith and Dagan from Jedi survivor disgusted with modern sith exactly, don't they about clone wars and order 66 which led to the rise of the empire,Jedi lost their way and where hypocrites nothing more than servants to the republic
@@preciousotoakhia9789but no true victory because A) the Jedi remained still, and B) there were no other strong forces for the sith to challenge.
Without victory, they were just figureheads of a dead and resurrected regime.
@@sumthingwikked4257 but a regime that ruled the galaxy,how is that not victory empire was very powerful
had cringe but honestly it didn't matter because this was actually really good I had a lot of chills especially when Vader fought himself as Anakin
Imagine he tries in a sequel with Lord Starkiller, Seventh Sister and Lumiya to attack the Emperor.
Whats funny is that in sheer power, Vader is beyond literally everyone else in this film. But the writers kept that in mind and let their respective wisdom and experience take the reins to teach Vader about the other half of being sith: Maintaining control.
This was heat ngl TREIA AND NILHILUS WERE SPEAKING FACTS
now thats what i call a star wars story. Nice job man , even with low budget you managed to make me watch the whole short film twice with that story and dialouge writing. And the fact that it had Revan , Vader and Nihilus in the same video makes it gold.
This is really good. Loved the Old Republic tie-ins. The part where Vader killed Anakin reminded of the line from Obi-Wan where Vader tells him that he killed Anakin not Obi-Wan.
I hope there will be others. Maybe use Bastila or Visas.
Disney wrecked the franchise but ones like keep the SW faithful happy!
Take a bow!
This is impressive!!!! And it felt more entuned to what Star Wars is!!! hohoho Lord Vader. . . . . Meeting Lord Revan, Lady Trays. . . . didn't Traya used a Red purpleish? Lightsaber. Ohh Lord Nihilus!!!! Now that's something else entire, when Lady Trays said my greatest failure I though of Another, like Lord Sion would be something entire else
For a low budget fan film, I am quite impressed. The story and the lesson from each of the past sith lords was very well scripted. The acting was a bit of a "meh". I don't know what to think about Revan's voice, but I did like the voices of Nihilus and the witch (idk her name). The actor for Darth Vader did pretty well, his voice acting, and comical side were both well done and funny. You could really hear the annoyance from Vader with the past sith lords and the pain of view Padme and the anger when Vader realized his child lives. The effects were okay-ish, the costume and make-up work were very impressive, although the lightsaber effects could have been better. Especially when Vader's lightsaber goes through his cape. My biggest problem with the film was the lightsaber combat. It was very wonky and made me felt like I was watching the sequels again. This was shown most in the Vader vs Revan scene, and yes, I understand that maybe Revan was toying with Vader. But it felt more like Raven has gotten weak with his lightsaber style than toying with Vader. The witch did a much better performance, she knew how to fight like if she was in the old republic, props to her. Vader and Nihilus had both decent combat performance but felt like they were just doing random lightsaber moves and improvising without much planning. The Anakin did a very good job on his lightsaber combat, made it look like I was watching "Revenge of the sith" again, especially with the ani-obi move. I am a bit hesitant about how I feel about Sidious having two lightsabers for he only used two against Maul and Savage. And Sidious doesn't even use his lightsaber anymore after the rise of the galactic empire because he only needs his force lightning to put Vader down. All in all, this was still a decent fan-film for being a low budget. And I'm excited to see what future films await.
this is really well done! all im guna say on the coriography is vader doing the ani obi spin and go full prequal. 🤯 that was awsome. never thought id see him do that ever. whoever portrayted vader in this was 10/10. all the right movemnts, combat style was down to a T and the voice was pretty good too!
The fact that a small group of dedicated people with minimum budget wrote a story and dialogue this good is absolutely mind blowing. A better story than anything Disney has released in the past decade (Dave Filoni ❤). Props to you!
A suggestion for a sequel taking place during Empire Strikes Back.
Knowing Vader knows the truth of his deception over twenty years ago, Palpatine questions if this knowledge of his son will draw Vader back to the light. He tasks Vader to go to Korriban, ancient home world of the Sith and enter the Temple of Bane as a test to see his commitment to the Dark Side.
Darth Bane's spirit arises and immediately deems Vader unworthy of his position as Apprentice in the Rule of Two. Empires had risen and fallen under the Sith, and he has foreseen that this one would fall by Vader's hand. Vader, outraged at this level of disrespect, attacks Bane, but is easily bested by him. Bane decides to give Vader a chance to prove his worthiness with three trials; each one conjured by a specter of his past.
The first trial is committed by the spirit of Darth Maul. Maul remembers Vader as a quivering child in the corner of his eye, sensing great fear from him whilst in the shadow of the Jedi. As they duel, Maul's ferocity matched against Vader's own skill, Maul mocks him, knowing how easy it is for Darth Sidious to discard someone; and because of how weak he is, there is nothing Vader will be able to do about it. His rage increasing, Vader is eventually able to overwhelm Maul and defeat him.
The second trial is committed by the spirit of Darth Tyranus. Dooku comments how disappointed Qui-Gon would be in discovering the boy he invested so much faith in was the architect to the Jedi Order's destruction, while Vader notes how disappointed Qui-Gon would be in them both. They duel; Dooku's speed and precision against Vader's brawn and durability. Dooku mocks him by saying how high he had fallen, adding insult to injury by cutting off Vader's arm again and deeming Vader to be less than a shadow of Anakin Skywalker; an absurd abomination. His rage increasing once more, Vader endures Dooku's lightning and physicallys beat the old Sith Lord with his remaining hand before taking Dooku's blade and killing him once more.
After a brief respite for Vader to repair his remaining hand, but not the damaged respirator (to further test Vader's connection to the Dark Side) the third trial is committed by the spirit of Grievous. As they duel, we see where Grievous' cybernetics are considerably more advanced than Vader's in speed and flexibility. Grievous recalls stories of how Anakin Skywalker was a war hero, always leading the charge and propelling his troops to victory. His power and skill was enough to wipe out entire fleets. He asks Vader "How does it feel to be the new General Grievous?" (as both are military tacticians and Jedi Hunters, relying heavily on cybernetics just to function and being viewed as abominations in the eyes of their peers) Outraged to be so simply compared to a droid, Vader uses the Force to tear Grievous apart.
Passing his trials, Vader confronts Bane in a duel. His rage now beyond its limits, he is able to use the Force to bend Bane to his will; stating that Darth Bane will always hold a position of respect for founding the Rule of Two, but as the first of the evolutionary chain, he is technically the weakest Sith. Vader's pain, his loss of his mother, wife, dreams and hopes, fuel the inferno of Vader's wrath until Bane is completely overwhelmed and cast back into the netherworld of the Force.
Incredible!!!
I would love to see, or even read something like that!!!
One problem with your little story. General grievous was never a Jedi nor a sith.
Honestly I thought this was gonna be another sh*tty typical fight with actors when I saw the first fight but then before I clicked off this video i listened to the conversation with Vader and Revan and watched it change then it started to get really deep and when I got to the part when Vader killed himself and talked to Padme and then confronted Palpatine I couldn’t help but rewind it it got very deep and it makes me feel even worse for Vader bc he truly did loose everything well done
Acting and choreography may not have been top line professional, but damn I really respected the writing. I see the passion in it. Thumbs up
Bro this film was incredible and for its budget of this fan film it is incredible, 10/10 well done my friend!
WOW! This had me hooked the whole time. You guys all killed it! Thank you for letting me do the makeup for you Ash! Should you need makeup again, let me know. Hope you keep making more of these! 👀👀👀
There are a few rough moments but also some grand slams. The voicing of Vader/JEJ is absolutely dead on.
