@@Mikestarwalker I love that it feels like she has learned how to get past Luke’s defensive wall in a way he dosen’t expect. It’s clear she’s planned for their next encounter.
When a group of fans can do infinitely better then a multi billion dollar company. This is the Luke Skywalker we've wanted to see for years. Him as a warrior, protector, teacher, and the hero we all love. I hope this video gets into the millions for you 🫡
IKR?! Mike is our new Luke Skywalker now! No offense to Mark Hamill at all, we love him! Just...Disney's direction..ick! I've never met someone so dedicated to honoring the memory of a character so many of us grew up with as a hero, and just trying to expand on it.
The warrior, protector, teacher, the hero we all love as you mentioned…. We thankfully got that with Daniel LaRusso in cobra Kai. Daniel LaRusso became the post-ROTJ Luke Skywalker we always wanted. That’s why cobra Kai is my absolute comfort show. Daniel is also the Dick Grayson I always wanted too as Nightwing that DC has been fucking over so bad.
@@azdickgrayson Truth! What they did with Cobra Kai is precisely what should have been done with the ST - honoring and adding even more depth to the OGs while bringing in the new gen. CK is the best show going rn
@@RenegadeFilmForce not to mention Samantha LaRusso is exactly what Rey would have been if she had proper writing and proper character development. I actually wouldn’t have minded if Rey was Luke and Mara’s daughter either despite they had a son.
You mean to tell me we could've had an epic telling of Luke beginning his own Jedi order from Disney and all they had to do was have the same passion that these fine folks had for making these fan films and respecting the lore and storytelling of Star Wars? Reality sucks so hard sometimes. Excellent work here from everyone involved in these films.
Grandmaster Luke cutting down dark Jedi like he's a scythe and they're all just wheat. His students held the line quite well, outnumbered as they were. This is excellently done, and Luke's academy that we see here should have been the product of 10 years of in-universe training and recruiting, never mind the sad example we see in Ep7-9.
We knew luke was not only powerful but more wise when compared to his father. This movie definitely showed all the best qualities of Luke. I hope people blow this up because it was honestly better than a lot of the stuff thats come out of Disney.
His father was conflicted thou, the death of his mother hung over him and the fear his wife would also perish, not to mention one of the most powerful and cunning Sith lords ever was manipulating his whole life! ppl give Luke loads of credit, but Anakin in terms of raw potiential was robbed of being the greatest Jedi/Sith ever. His life was tragic and I always felt unfulfilled with Anakin's story lol, it pisses me off still to this day
Disney didn't torpedo the franchise by accident. It's all on purpose. The destruction of role models (fictional or otherwise) has been an ongoing thing since the 1960's.
@@heywoodfloyd9 While I fully agree with the first part, I do not see where the destruction of role models began in any noticeable way to large IPs like SW, Marvel or LOTR, etc prior to 2018...what are you referring to starting in the 60s?

@@Cobiscrisp6476 YES!! Someone caught on to where I was getting at in the decision to make him a staffwielder in this iteration! As I was revisiting, and further researching the character (I played Jedi Outcast and Academy LONG AGO) it occurred to me that quite POSSIBLY the ONLY reason we never saw him use a staff was because the concept of saberstaffs wasn't widely known till Phatom Menace - LONG after Dark Forces II and at least I think 2yrs after Outcast was released. It suits his more aggressive approach to combat, and as you mentioned, as eventual BattleMaster, he has to master every form. Can't wait to progress this! Fun twists ahead in timeline and some character stuff, but utlimately aiming to honor the heart of the EU and not sh!t on it like a certain big corp...!!
Love the reference back to the previous video. Disney had such an opportunity to use these established, favorite characters and using the books as reference points for their stories and they totally dropped the ball.
FanTASTICALLY better than the Sabercomp submission imho. This had more feel, more pacing, and a slight bit more character development without going too deep into any one scenario. I haven't been excited for any sw stuff in a long time folks.... I'm gonna start editing some of my stuff again. thank you 🙏
The choreography here is just incredible, some of the best I've seen in a Fan film. This far surpasses anything that the Sequels could achieve, it's actually insane.
What gets me is how much Mike looks and sounds like Mark Hamill. Now all his production team needs are some good FX makeup folks so we get some non-human Jedi and Sith.
The comments for these fan films all relay the same message. Disney failed us. Props to all the people who take it in their own hands and do star wars the justice it deserves
Oh....oh shit.....DAMN!!!!! Definetly this product/movie its way better than mostly 90% producuts of Disney. Not gonna lie: make the Luke remember Mara with a link with the last video (luke training with force ghost anakin) its a great call, even because we can feel the conflict and doubt in the character like i saw in Thrawn Trilogy when they both found each other. Excelent movie, excelent fights and coreografies. A Proud 9/10 or 9.5/10 that gonna make see this video again and again, nice work for everyone.
Beautiful production....I can't thank you and your crew enough for doing it - making it real - and giving it away to greedy fanbois like myself. As an artist and inspiration, you've been there among deserved few in this old Jedi-wannabe's book. Supreme Thanks, and May the Force Be With You as it has been; Always.
DUUUDE!!! THIS WAS SO CRISPY!!! You know it's pretty bad when the Star wars fan films are better than the actual Canon media. Keep doing these dude. I'm going to watch every single one that you ever put out. TH-camrs like you are saving Star wars from devolving into utter stupidity and mind-numbing nothingness
I love this!!! Luke Skywalker is being portrayed perfectly, the lightsaber choreography is almost on par with the prequels, and it seems like you are connecting all your fan films (this is my first one of yours I've watched), this is all fantastic and I cannot wait to follow what you do and see what you do next. These are truly better than anything Disney has ever done and seriously, great job.
ABSOLUTELY the BEST Lightsaber Fight Choreography I've ever seen!! The Force is SERIOUSLY strong with you all!!!!! You should also do "What If," episodes!!!! Or something like that. Your stories can never run out. I'm only saying that as well, because I want more!!!! Keep them coming!
The light saver fights in the action are the strong suit of this film. It's actually pretty amazing what you guys did with the light saber fights. It really seems like you're trying to hurt each other as well.Kudos
What I really must praise this choreography for is that it is not just fancy & professional, it is above all else story- & character driven! Any character skilled & powerful enough always tries to kill whoever he or she is fighting, while those that are less powerful & skilled are all on the defense. I love especially how Luke here is absolutely not kidding around & dragging anything out. If he sees an opening he goes for the kill immediately. Which is exactly what the real Luke Skywalker we all know & love & grew up with also would have done as Grand Master & if his student were under lethal attack like this. He'd kill swiftly to protect the people under his protection. If he could do it on Jabba's Sail Barge he sure as hell would do it here, just so much more skilled & experienced now. The best duels & lightsaber fights are always character driven! When any fight, especially a duel, literary moves the story forward & every swing, every kick, has a meaning & purpose you are a really good story teller! You nailed it, Mike! Impressive! Most impressive!
Depends on the context. Luke kids around a LOT. When the only threat is infront of him. But if you have allies going after those under his protection, he's going to cut you down fast
MIke...my guy...you're incredibly talented. You fight so aggressively, it's refreshing to see "life and death" magnitude dueling instead of the usual fan-made (and sadly also studio-made) lightsaber slapping duels that are so lame. Your choreography and acting abilities give me the same flood of emotions that I felt when I saw Vader's Rogue One scene and Luke's Mando appearance...the WHOA...and HOLY SHIT....and FINALLY THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! I wish you could at least be a consultant on a future Disney Star Wars production, maybe then we'd get the Star Wars we deserve. Thank you for making this bro
Magnificent! THIS is what we should have had in the sequel trilogy! And I don't know who the young lady was with the blue saber that was blocking all those blaster shots in slow-mo etc but she impressed the hell out me far more than anything Daisy Ridley ever did.
It's so great seeing Kyle get some love alongside Grandmaster Skywalker. Here's hoping we see some in-duel teamwork between them in future installments!
Seen a lot of SW fan films over the years, over the decades, ever since TROOPS. This film is easily in my top 5! Give yourselves all the credit in the world, guys!
I also need to do a loud shout-out to the music score for this fan film! Far from John Williams, yes, but still feels very much like SW to me! Reminds a lot of the Prequel scores at times. It has very nice emotional beats that you notice, especially towards the ending when Mara shows up again! You remember the melodies. Compare that to the scores we now have in Disney SW. No music of theirs have even registered with me since Book of Boba Fett! That was the last time, when Luke was training Grogu. Since then I have barely even noticed any music playing at all, even if I know it's there. I live & breathe SW scores & it's been so dead since 2021. But suddenly a really good, brand new original score shows up for this. And it's a fan film! Sound is at least 50% of the experience George Lucas once told the world. He was very right about that! And this fan film lives up to his sound standard, with both sound effects as well as the score. If & when you guys make more films like this, please remember the score & how important it is to bring about the right emotions at the right time. Just keep doing what you are doing.
This was leagues better than anything Disney has put out, and Disney is a multi-billion dollar company... Wow, just wow! You guys are amazing actors, choreographers, lightsaber duelists, and storytellers! I cannot wait to see what else you guys put out in the future. Hell yeah! 😎
Yeah, you know what . . . this is absolutely incredible for a fan film. WOW. Fantastic choreography and effects, excellent work all around, and more real Star Wars in under ten minutes than there was in the entire sequel trilogy. This is like the Jedi Outcast and Academy games with the Reborn, along with Mara Jade? Sign me up!
Yep, you know!! The plot arcs from DFII, Mysteries of the Sith, Outcast, and Academy basically compressed and rearranged in a way that can work with a fan budget, and also unify and intensify...and keep everyone guessing as we have our own twists!
@@RenegadeFilmForce Absolutely. Kyle Katarn, Desann - work the Tie Fighter and X-Wing games in somehow - get way over our heads and add in Thrawn and the Zahn books involving the stormtroopers. . . XD Would be neat.
Hello! I want to thank you for your wonderful fan films about Luke and his new Jedi Order. This film is my second, the first was "Shadows of Evil". It was a big surprise to me to discover that they were connected when I saw Luke's flashback about Mara Jade. This is the new parallel Star Wars universe, the one we deserve. This is the Luke Skywalker we deserve, the real Luke from the original trilogy - brave, merciful, kind, but tough when necessary. Also Mara Jade - is one of the best female characters in Star Wars along with Leia, Ahsoka, Sabine Wren and Hera Sundulla. Mara is a person with a difficult fate, a puppet who still serves her master, a woman who needs freedom of choice. I hope the timeline you created will continue to develop. May inspiration be with you.
Top notch story and choreography. Love the tie in to last year's film. Looking forward to where the story goes with Mara. Maybe conflict between Luke and Kyle over her fate? Great job Mike! I watched the sabercomp version but this one makes it 'pop'! Thanks for your hard work and dedication to Star Wars and the Art of the Lightsaber!
I like the changes. Better audio, added sound effects, cleaner dialogue, added shots for more context and letting the scene breathe here and there. It’s an improvement in film making that is exciting to see! On a personal note, as a fan of Luke and Mara, it’s great to see them interacting, and I look forward to seeing how your version of their story progresses moving forward. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
Wow…this is just amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed this. With the acting, the effects, especially the choreography! All the work all of you put into this does not go unnoticed. You guys you definitely be proud of this one. Awesome job!!
This is what grind my gears about what Disney did. They could have easily had a Luke like this AND had their own Jedis in the same movie as good characters. Seriously how easy would it have been to make Rey and Finn students at his academy? How easy would it have been for Ben Solo to have fallen to the Dark Side of his volition without the bad dream garbage? But no what we got were a bunch of hacks who had the heads up their behinds deadset on destroying Luke and everythng we loved about Star Wars to please their own egos.
This is awesome!!! Man that one part where Luke was running on the bridge @ 4:16 reminded me so much of playing Star Wars Return Of The Jedi on Gameboy color back in the day. I used to love that game.
Omg this is amazing! R2-D2 looked great and I love the inclusion of Mara Jade! Soon Luke’s gonna marry her 😂. The duels were awesome who was the Sith Lord though? Is it a Legends character or a new character? And the Captain Rex name drop! You need a Rex costume to add into your episodes that’d be so awesome!
This was great. I am very happy to have stumbled across your channel in a stroke of blind luck. I love that your fight choreography itself tells the story.
This is some of the best choreo for lightsaber battles I've ever seen. There were little to no wasted movements and attacks actually appeared to be aiming for the opponent and not their blades.
This is epic. Fantastic chorography, great special effects. And an interesting story. Though I am slightly confused as why captain Rex would call Kyle, Kyle Kenobi. I also liked how you tied this in with on of your earlier videos. Keep up the amazing work.👍
Not saying anything new here, I know. But this was pretty darn good. Well done. I don't share the hate that a lot of people do for the Disney era, but there's no question that the passion of the fans continues to enrich this universe well beyond what the official stuff could ever do on its own. The Force was definitely with you on this one.
Disney should of handed over all their money and resources to you before they started the sequels. following Luke's story would of been a much better and exciting story. i care more about these young Jedi's after seeing them for 5 minutes then i did for most of the main characters in Disney's version. your light saber duels are very creative and interesting. just by showing the young Jedi deflecting laser bolts in slow mow was original. Great job!
This was incredible. The sound and visual production was off the charts. Thanks to @mikestarwalker and the rest of the team for your time and effort in making this amazing video.
So sick of every top comment on every to be frank basic fan film being 'BetTer ThAn DisNey!!" But this was genuinely great.the actor for Luke has always really nailed the fighting style of luke. The luke vs mara duel was fantastic. Amd the slo mo of the padawan deflecting the bolts was really cool.

@@RenegadeFilmForce Absolutely. Kyle Katarn, Desann - work the Tie Fighter and X-Wing games in somehow - get way over our heads and add in Thrawn and the Zahn books involving the stormtroopers. . . XD Would be neat.
Hello! I want to thank you for your wonderful fan films about Luke and his new Jedi Order. This film is my second, the first was "Shadows of Evil". It was a big surprise to me to discover that they were connected when I saw Luke's flashback about Mara Jade. This is the new parallel Star Wars universe, the one we deserve. This is the Luke Skywalker we deserve, the real Luke from the original trilogy - brave, merciful, kind, but tough when necessary.
Also Mara Jade - is one of the best female characters in Star Wars along with Leia, Ahsoka, Sabine Wren and Hera Sundulla. Mara is a person with a difficult fate, a puppet who still serves her master, a woman who needs freedom of choice.
I hope the timeline you created will continue to develop. May inspiration be with you.
What a well done short. Congrats to all those involved.
Thanks!
wow this is very incredible congratulations to all involved
🙌
Excellent work, this team is doing the fanbase very proud. Keep it up!
Best fan film when the girl blocking the blasters that was awesome
Amazing I can’t wait to see when Luke and Mara fight side by side as husband and wife
Bien hecho, emocionante. Sigan así. Forever Skywalker
Wow!….this was simply amazing! Great job…..I loved the slow mo light saber scene with the girl. Again, super great job 👍🏻😊💯
Top notch story and choreography. Love the tie in to last year's film. Looking forward to where the story goes with Mara. Maybe conflict between Luke and Kyle over her fate? Great job Mike! I watched the sabercomp version but this one makes it 'pop'! Thanks for your hard work and dedication to Star Wars and the Art of the Lightsaber!
Thanks man! 🙌
So good Disney might go after you. Bravo & Props. The lightsaber slow mo blaster deflections shot was beautifully done. 🏆
I like the changes. Better audio, added sound effects, cleaner dialogue, added shots for more context and letting the scene breathe here and there. It’s an improvement in film making that is exciting to see!
On a personal note, as a fan of Luke and Mara, it’s great to see them interacting, and I look forward to seeing how your version of their story progresses moving forward.
Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
Finally, the real Luke Skywalker has shown up. Great work man.
Proper Luke. Powerful, when needed...brutal, but always in control. What they did to him in the Devil Mouse trilogy is sad.
This man should be hired to making lightsaber choreographies in new Star Wars projects.
They would butcher him
Great Work !
May The Force Be With You !!
🙏😎👍🌴☀️🙏
Fan made Star Wars is SO much more Awesome than Disney. Keep them coming.
Disney & Lucasfilm gives us The Acolyte. Mikestarwalker gives us REAL SW! Long live the film makers within the SW fandom!
George needs to hire this group for his next movie and/or series.
4o1 that was awesome watch that part the greatest scene ever
Fantastic lightsaber battles!!
OMG !!! AMAZING CHOREOGRAPHIES, FANTASTIC DUELS !!! CONGRATS !!! WE WANT MORE!!!
This is a huge improvement over your previous duels. Good work 👍
Wow…this is just amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed this. With the acting, the effects, especially the choreography! All the work all of you put into this does not go unnoticed. You guys you definitely be proud of this one. Awesome job!!
5:33 Truly worthly of Legends Luke's ability and legacy.
Please, Please turn this into a full on fan film! I believe you guys should be funded for a true Legends fan film!
Series! That's what we're doing! Did you get to see the teaser for the extended cut linked in the endscreen at the end of this episode?
Nice Mara Jade and Kyle Katarn.
This is already better than the sequels
This is what grind my gears about what Disney did. They could have easily had a Luke like this AND had their own Jedis in the same movie as good characters. Seriously how easy would it have been to make Rey and Finn students at his academy? How easy would it have been for Ben Solo to have fallen to the Dark Side of his volition without the bad dream garbage?
But no what we got were a bunch of hacks who had the heads up their behinds deadset on destroying Luke and everythng we loved about Star Wars to please their own egos.
IKR?! And we're just getting started, just wait till ya see the bigger, final version of this and more episodes!
Great lightsaber choreography 👍🏾
Thanks for a very fantastic Fan Made It is so good to See Fans they understand the Lore of Star wars
This is awesome!!! Man that one part where Luke was running on the bridge @ 4:16 reminded me so much of playing Star Wars Return Of The Jedi on Gameboy color back in the day. I used to love that game.
Omg this is amazing! R2-D2 looked great and I love the inclusion of Mara Jade! Soon Luke’s gonna marry her 😂. The duels were awesome who was the Sith Lord though? Is it a Legends character or a new character? And the Captain Rex name drop! You need a Rex costume to add into your episodes that’d be so awesome!
Better lightsaber choreo than any of the sequals.
This was great. I am very happy to have stumbled across your channel in a stroke of blind luck. I love that your fight choreography itself tells the story.
This is some of the best choreo for lightsaber battles I've ever seen. There were little to no wasted movements and attacks actually appeared to be aiming for the opponent and not their blades.
kyle so loyal will listen to luke looks like can feel mara jade love here
THIS IS SO FREAKING COOL WE WANT A SEQUEL!
This is epic. Fantastic chorography, great special effects. And an interesting story. Though I am slightly confused as why captain Rex would call Kyle, Kyle Kenobi. I also liked how you tied this in with on of your earlier videos. Keep up the amazing work.👍
I could see Katarn reminding Rex of Kenobi, albeit rougher around the edges what with not being raised a Jedi and all
Not saying anything new here, I know. But this was pretty darn good. Well done. I don't share the hate that a lot of people do for the Disney era, but there's no question that the passion of the fans continues to enrich this universe well beyond what the official stuff could ever do on its own. The Force was definitely with you on this one.
These WERE the droids I was looking for! Nicely done. Thank you!
Disney should of handed over all their money and resources to you before they started the sequels. following Luke's story would of been a much better and exciting story. i care more about these young Jedi's after seeing them for 5 minutes then i did for most of the main characters in Disney's version. your light saber duels are very creative and interesting. just by showing the young Jedi deflecting laser bolts in slow mow was original. Great job!
I feel like this is best comment of the past week or so! Much appreciated by all of us involved!
The sound is key 🔑 in a sw film and this is probably the best sound design and editing in a fan film I’ve seen in years
THIS!! Is what “The Last Jedi” was supposed to be. Luke and Rey rebuilding the order, not the trainwreck we ended with.
Pretty much! Definitely not the nonsense we got in TLJ
DUDE! THE CHOREOGRAPHY OH MY LORD! ITS BEAUTIFUL! All jokes aside, the choreography in this was amazing and so interesting to watch. Thank you.
I know I'm a little late to the party, but this is amazing. I seriously miss having good Star wars.
Maybe the best light saber choreography and acting I’ve ever seen
The saber duel choreography in this is absolutely phenomenal. Great work! I’d love to see more in this story!
Haha the woman with purple lightsaber.
This was incredible. The sound and visual production was off the charts. Thanks to @mikestarwalker and the rest of the team for your time and effort in making this amazing video.
This would make a *GREAT SERIES!* 😎
This is only the beginning!!
So sick of every top comment on every to be frank basic fan film being 'BetTer ThAn DisNey!!"
But this was genuinely great.the actor for Luke has always really nailed the fighting style of luke. The luke vs mara duel was fantastic. Amd the slo mo of the padawan deflecting the bolts was really cool.
The little duel wielding fight was amazing! Love the speed! Great work!
