This is a very neat fan film but it sure is sad. We should see Vader visit Padmes tomb in a live action Star Wars movie taking place between The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi because that's when Vader visits her tomb in the new canon timeline.
We have A New Hope Vader visiting the tomb (but the TKs are a mix of ANew Hope and Return of the Jedi)... it would make the most sense for Vader to visit when you described.
Thank you for the watch and the comment!
@@TomorrowandTomorrow2021 You're welcome
Ahsoka: what was Vader doing in Padme's tomb?
David Sheridan II: he was somehow quoting an earth powan from Shakespeare's Macbeth
Ahsoka: That's my Sky Guy!
All kidding aside, you're right, Star Wars doesn't usually quote classic literature; however, Lucas did base his hero's journey on myth to focus on the human spirit... Shakespeare did the exact same thing while creating his tragedies 400 years ago. To me, this is what makes both Star Wars and Shakespeare's collection timeless.
And while Lucas does not quote literature directly, he does make many allusions to classic film and serials that he enjoyed: much of the original Star War's film has direct links to Kurosawa in both storytelling and filming techniques.
While we did take some liberties, the idea behind this was comparing two iconic figures' descent into evil - for me, while I'm a huge Star Wars fan, this film was more about being true to the Bard's lines.
All that said, thank you for the watch and the comment!
Such great choices in this piece of art! MacBeth and Vader is something of my dreams! “Nothing” works with the idea of nihilism discovered in soliloquy, and Vader’s quest to continue to kill any last breath of Anakin Skywalker.
It just works! Amazing job to all who worked on it. You should all be proud of what you have created!
Thanks for the comment! Macbeth and Vader naturally go so well together so it was fun thinking up and adding symbolism to enhance the scenes.
And thank you so much for the kind words!
Most impressive indeed! After meeting you guys yesterday at the Syracuse maker fair, I knew you guys wouldn’t let me down with this awesome fan film!
It was fun to make. Thank you so much for the view and the comment.
Most impressive! A really creative use of the Sunken Garden at Highland Park as a filming location. The necklace on the ground before the cut to black was haunting.
The Sunken Garden is stunning in its own right and a hidden gem - we can't thank Monroe County Parks Department enough for hooking us up!
Thank you for the watch and the comment
That was the japor snippet that Anakin carved for her....
@@frankvilla1573 Yes - flawlessly recreated by our own TK 91593. You can find him, and more of his work, here: facebook.com/forestamasks/
@@TomorrowandTomorrow2021 Ive seen them on etsy. I'm the Frank Villa that paints all the models for your brother Robert.
@@frankvilla1573 Wow! He's shown me a lot of your work - impressive as well! Thank you for watching and for the comment!
This was really cool! Loved the camera work and Shakespearean approach. It almost reminds me of the fan film Rebel Scum where they utilize Holst's "Planets" orchestral music as the soundtrack.
Thank you - and Rebel Scum is a great film! We had a shoe string budget so some incredible artists stepped-up to basically donate their time: Liam Frager and Octavio Vazquez arranged a perfect score while Nox Luna Film's Tim Davis and Eve Hovey knocked it out of the park behind the camera. Along with the aforementioned, we had a ton of talented individuals pitch in.
In an effort to raise money for Make-A-Wish, and out of their love for Star Wars, these folks took a huge pay cut to help out and created something that far exceeded our original view... we can't thank them enough.
And thank you for the comment and the watch!
Very hard job thanks ❤
Thank you and Thank YOU again for the watch
This is pretty good
But I can’t let go of being a storm trooper. And accidentally walking in on Vader pacing around the room, saying poetry.
It would look like this
Darth Vader Tomorrow and tomorrow
Officer walks in:
Darth Vader: like a looming shadow shadow
Officer stops his thought and sees what Vader is doing.
Darth Vader: Out out the candle
Officer: Lord Vader
Darth Vader: tomorrow….
Vader looks at the officer quickly
Officer: I was going to inform you, sir that the grand inquisitor request your presence.
Darth Vader: ………….
Officer: oh i’m sorry, Vader I did not mean to walk in on you. I definitely understand. Poetry is very
Pleasant, back in the times before the clone wars are used to do such poetry’s. It really was quite the pickle.
It’s very much a reflection of how we feel out in words, when I lost my mother, a few years ago. It was very much therapy for me. Oh dear, it was a hard time. But poetry is very very lovely and helpful. would you say the same, Lord Vader.
Darth Vader: ………(breaths)
Officer: Lord Vader?
The officer suddenly gets the lightsaber thrown right right through his chest, and he falls to the floor dead.
Darth Vader: touché
Darth Vader Takes the lightsaber And puts it back on his belt.
Darth Vader then looks and reflects on what was said
Darth Vader: now where was I tomorrow and tomorrow?
He was kind of caught in a compromising position in Empire Strikes Back when he was meditating with his helmet off…
If the officer was to intervene, I think that he’d just choke him.
Great thought and thanks for the watch!
A very good use for the line from Shakespeare, brava, brava👏👏👏.
It was a lot of fun to make! Thank you and thank you for the watch.
4:47 that Imperial March cue, tho!
Our director really wanted to hammer home Vader's shift from Anakin to the Dark Lord of the Sith. It was fun to see Chow do the same thing with Williams' iconic music in Obi-Wan Kenobi!
Huge fan of this Macbeth soliloquy. It was awesome to see it done in a fresh, new way. Can't wait to share with students in the future.
Thank you so much. There is also a version of a Stormtrooper reciting Hamlet's "To Be or Not To Be" out there that is very good as well (and made by a fellow 501st trooper).
It is amazing how well Lucas's characters fit into Shakespeare's stories. I think it has to do with Lucas's basis in myth as well as the universality of the Bard's stories.
Thanks again for the comment and the watch!
Can't believe this premiered almost a year ago today! Such a fun project.
Getting close to two years since filming.
More Bane than Vader, but beautifully filmed
Great allusion and thank you!
I'm not a fan of SW (but fun of Makbeth) , but this was really good... anyway better, than all last SW chapters made by Disney.
It's awesome that our first comment is a Shakespeare one! We strived to make a film that complements both worlds.
Keep making stuff. This concept is brilliant.
Thank you so much and thanks for the watch!
DISNEYSTARWARS: FAN SHORT MOVIE TOMRROW AND TOMRROW.
Thank you for the watch and comment
The deep breathing over the words make no sense. We don't overlap speaking and breathing, we alternate them... . 😅
This is a comment for Lucas (check out Empire Strikes Back when Vader is fighting Luke in the carbon freezing chamber - talks over his breath a couple times)… I think that it comes back to the “more machine than man” line from ANH.
Thanks for the watch!
underrated video spotted
Thank you and thanks for the watch
Vader seems shorter then usual in this video.. his storm troopers are as tall as he is
Our Vader is about 4 inches shorter than Prowse in costume but is still about 5-6 inches taller than each of our Stormtroopers... but I do agree that they do look the same size for most of this film. There are two reasons:
Up until the end of the soliloquy, Vader has more of Anakin in him - unsure of himself, beaten-down, and carrying the weight of the galaxy on his shoulders. That said, we decided to have Vader labor in his movements and crouch a bit to show his uncertainty. Once Vader recites, "nothing," he is Darth Vader and stands tall, chest out, head back, his gate reminiscing Christensen's march towards the Jedi temple in Episode III.
The second reason is, to capture Vader's iconic look, you need to film Vader from chest-level or lower. To film at eye-level, Vader looks less imposing and you lose the depth of the dome on his helmet. And, to add to that, we used all low angle shots at the end to give everyone in the scene an ominous look as the marched off.
So our Vader is actually taller than the others. Great catch and insight - thank you for the comment and thank you so much for the watch.
@@elessartelcontar9415 I watched Spaceballs at least 100 times in my life.. one of my all time favorite comedies
Can you add english subtitles?
Done.
Thank you for the view and feedback.
What was vader talking about?
It is a speech from William Shakespeare's Macbeth - the speech kind of fit into the Star Wars universe so we paired the two.
Thanks for the watch!
This is cool
Thanks
Um did you not watch episode 1: The Phantom Menace? Padme was holding that necklace that Vader was holding in this video! So there’s no way he could have it, unless it’s one he had!
She also had it with her when talking to Anakin and before her burial in Episode III... and she was buried on a world under the Empire's control. So it is possible for him to have it but is it likely? For the sake of the movie, we said yes.
Great eye for the details! Thank you for the comment and view.
Awesome!
Thanks. And thank you so much for checking it out!
Whats the Name from the first song ?
It is an original score by Octavio Vazquez and Liam Frager to accompany John Williams' "Across the Stars"
Lord Fener, vuole rivedere sua moglie padme
Thought that this worked well with Shakespeare's sole, truly happy couple. Thank you for the watch.
I suggest renaming the video to focus more on star wars and darth vader, as a high effort short film like this should not go to waste as this has a lot of talent. Renaming the video will likely help it gain views
As a Shakespeare fan, I wanted to focus on the blank verse; however, you're right and suggestion heeded. Thank you so much for the watch and comment.
You gotta work on your Vader walk....he doesnt walk like a toddler with a full diaper
lol - will keep that in mind
Big whoop🥱🤷🏼♂️
Thanks for the watch!
In the words of Luke Skywalker “what a piece of junk!”
Thanks for the view and feedback
Give it the film look, otherwise it looks amateur.
I think it looks pretty incredible for our budget - unfortunately half our crew, and especially the producer’s wallet, were amateurs (the other half did an awesome job giving the film its current look.
Thank you for the watch and the comment!
Vader is too short.
By 4 inches - could do the lifts to add 3 but opted for comfort
This was good visually but it was good until it wasn't! Why did Vader's dialogue sound like Biden reading autistic Shakespeare??? You really gotta work on your Dialogue lil bro but regardless excellent Camerawork
Probably could have knocked it out with AI but wanted to use as little CGI as possible - wanted to focus on the costumes and sets as did Lucas did in his original trilogy. I think that we came close but James Earl Jones has a pretty unique voice that’s hard to copy.
But we did come close!
Thank you for the comment and the watch.
And you are right - the camera work and editing are so much more than we thought we could get for this film! I can’t say enough good things about this crew!
