Thank you for your support, everyone! We have a long road ahead now, and I couldn't be more excited. A video will be posted tomorrow going over details and answering all questions regarding the film. Thank you for supporting me and the channel. I would not be here if it weren't for all of you. ❤ May the force be with us all.
You can tell this was made by a true fan of Star Wars. Character like Vader doesn't need to talk, jump around, cutting random people down to be badass, just standing there is enough man. Can't wait to see the full episode !
I watched this with my dad and the moment he saw Vader standing there saying nothing, he cheered and screamed this is how Star Wars should feel. You my friend, have made an old man very happy.
I love the rings around the screen during the flashback to Anakin scene. If anyone didn’t realize, they’re the same rings around Anakins dreams of his mother and late Padme’s deaths
This is what genuine passion for Star Wars looks like. An authentic and aspiring film maker such as theory is EXACTLY what we need right now. So proud of you brotha, can’t wait for the movie ❤
It's so dark, gritty, cinematically powerful, and tragic I just love it so much. Everything about it is absolutely superb from the graphics/environment, the music, the sound design, the duality of Anakin/Vader showcased with that incredible transition between the column Vader to Anakin to Vader, the tragically nostalgic voice references and how it all ties back to him and what he must be thinking in his mind at the time, especially since this is a time period where he is still more Anakin then Vader or at least at extreme conflict so early on after Revenge of The Sith.
These days if done right animation can look essentially lifelike with the most chilling photorealism, heck even playing The Force Unleashed a decade ago it felt at times like a live-action movie. It's evolved to the point patreon-supported fans with a shoestring budget can rival mammoth theatrical films with record-sized Disney budgets.
This is incredibly well done. Love the conflict that’s obviously running through Vader as he nears a conflict with who he probably hates more than Obi-Wan. The first Jedi he ever betrayed, and the only one who he probably fears facing.
I agree this is amazing but being better than the sequels isn’t an accomplishment at all. Im sure the stories we made playing with our StarWars toys when we were ten were more interesting than the sequel trilogy.
Theory, I'm just amazed by how realistic the rendering looks for Vader and the clones. You and the team look like you're really putting your heart into this, and its really paying off! That order 66 flashback gave me chills, I can't wait until it releases
@@ShowFly I saw the original Star Wars movies way back when my favorite star wars movies is attack of the clones plus rouge one the emperire strikes back sorry for any mistakes in spelling.
Graphic jump is huge! Don’t get me wrong, Mace Windu cinematic still looks great but this is just another level, like professional AAA video game or something! *Darth Vader’s voice* Impressive. Most impressive
This is good, the tension in the scene pitched to perfection!! I got chills when I heard Padme's voice-over saying "Anakin", its so interesting when one can see Vaders feelings though he has his helmet on. This is the real Star Wars for me! ♡ I have always loved the lore and story of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and am really exited to see this!! Big Thumbs Up Really Nice Work!!!! ☆☆☆ May The Force Be With You ♡
That Darth Vader model looks incredibly movie like, I thought he was literally ripped right out of the films! This is truly impressive, most impressive indeed.
This is so freaking sick, this is what Star wars needs right now. Something that goes into the depths of Vaders mental state and someone who has the same love and passion for Star wars that you have. I honestly think this 2 minute clip of Vader portrays him 10x better than the Kenobi show did. This is how we need Vader to be in live action. Super excited to see the movie. Good job bro.
@@bakeddogg1674 yeah I think it was great how ruthless he was but I think they needed to dive deeper into vaders mental state like the comics did and show us really how much he is suffering inside. Also there were some things that were a bit weird like how vader let kenobi go. but yes I do agree that for the most part, vader was great in kenobi.
@@bakeddogg1674 So you're just going to ignore vader making idiotic mistakes for the sake of plot like not putting out a fire to pursuing obi wan or stop following a rebel fleet to chase obi wan even though he had the resources to do both?
@@bakeddogg1674 yeah that. could be true but I don't think they did a very good job of showing us that dissapointment. Oh yes the final fight was awesome, it had way too much reva scenes in it tho.
1:13 this shot is the sickest thing ever! Everything after is so amazing! Your decision to make it a cinematic made you have so much creative freedom that I know will pay off!
I actually liked that part the least (up to 1:27). Hard to put my finger on it but felt really out of place how Anakins moves are depicted here. Either much less movement would have been better in my eyes or more of a scenery change to depict something warranting such movements. Now it looks like it's neither a flashback nor a continuation or reflection of the current state nor a juxtaposition between Vader and Anakin if that makes sense... Like I said, hard to explain
DUDE!!!! This is incredible. The layout to the scene and the camera movement is perfect. The timing of everything, bang on and production values for a fan made piece is truly inspiring. I can't wait to take this journey with you.
Epic. I love the symbolism with the pillar transitions. How the flames signify his immense pain, that he doesn’t attempt to fight off the flames engulfing him because he deserves the pain. So excited for the final production. Great job, SWT and team.
To use words from our boi himself: “Impressive, most impressive”. Fantastic work, Theory + Team!! I’ve always really appreciated your focus on this time in Vader’s life, since basically no one (outside of Vader Immortal) has looked at how he’s processing his grief around losing Padmé- which like, is such a necessary aspect of his story. Also, +1 to whomever is in charge of lighting. So masterful!!
This is genuinely one of the greatest film trailers I have ever seen! This has been (for me) more anticipated than some of the Disney films! I can’t believe your not in some kind of film director!
I shed a few tears during the whole scene with Anakin, the voices lines, and the fire. So beautiful and well done I genuinely don't what to say. It was just so so so good I can't wait for this to come out! Remember to take your time, theory. As long as it takes, we'll be here, waiting for this absolute BANGER to drop.
@Dick Trickle Dude I couldn’t agree more. I obviously meant besides for George Lucas. He’s the Mastermind behind it all. I just meant with where Star Wars management lies today.
I don't know I think Vader was pretty good in kenobi series he just needed to be on screen more than Reva who didn't need be part of the show or at least just a minor role as an inquisitor who reports to Darth Vader.
2:25 The Operatic nature of this reminds me of “Padmé’s Ruminations” when Anakin is sitting in the Council Chamber alone. Samuel Kim never disappoints.
@@siddi37 Because it reflects his inner torment. He doesn’t want to disobey the Mace Windu (because of the promise of earning his trust), but Sidious planted those visions in his head. It reflects tragedy, because we know he’ll listen to the fear from those visions. Self-fulfilling prophecies, and what not.
Both parts one and two have aged so well. Having just re-watched part 1, in 2024, the thing that let it down was the size of the set used. That's it. Not the acting, not the fx, not the costumes or the make up, the one thing that showed that this wasn't an actual mega budget production was that the room was too small. Amazing. In the animated segments none of that applies, and it looks and sounds amazing. I hope the evil lucasfilm empire don't discourage you from this continuing this wonderful service to the old fans. Thanks for making me care again for a few minutes.
2:08 This might be the most epic rendition of Imperial March I have EVER HEARD!!! This was badassery to the next level and I am all here for it Theory. This was amazing!! Can't wait for Episode II.
Is crazy that a TH-cam channel is more able to portrait a proper image of Vader than production companies with millions if not billions at their disposal. Great job Theory, you definitely proven to understand Vader’s persona, psychology and inner suffering!! 👏🏾👏🏾🎬🎬 Looking forward for more!!
The decision to go the route of animation versus live action was a remarkable move. The first episode was phenomenal, but there's so many limitations and costs to do it live. This animation has already allowed for so much rich cinematography, and I cannot wait to see the final product!
I did not think it was possible for a 2 minute preview cinematic to be that good 😦 I cant wait for episode 2, I can tell how much you care about this and how good it's going to be now
2 words....ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! The talent that you have my friend is amazing and your love for Star Wars is something truly special that's represented perfectly in this project. It's really a spectacle when you can channel your love and passion for something to create something unique. This deserves a whole lot of credit to everyone involved and Thank You Star Wars Theory for creating some of the most brilliant and distinctive content ever for the entire Star Wars community to enjoy!! ❤🙏🏼👍🏻 May the force be with you...ALWAYS!
This is probably the best Star Wars content I have ever seen, it capsulates the lore perfectly, it’s graphics are chefs kiss, and not too mention, the overall look and depth of it makes it feel like a movie. Love your work. Keep it up. 👍
I can't wait to see the final product. Fan productions like this are what make it so exciting to be a star wars fan. The time and dedication you put into each and every video are truly amazing. Much appreciation Lord Theory.
@@lewisaspden3217 Well Mace Windu is one of the few that could actually beat Vadar in a straight up combat, so I would imagine that Vadar is feeling some not so small levels of anxiety.
@@luminatrixfanfictionnah i dont feel like Windu would be able to defeat Vader..I do agree he could give him a good fight but in canon Vader is second to only Palpatine during the Empire era..And Palpatine Post ROTS is much much more powerful version than Mace encountered and defeated..I feel like only Yoda would have a chance to beat Vader but it would depend on which version of Vader he would be fighting..Since i dont think he would be able to defeat ROTJ Vader because of him being relatively close to Sidious in power in canon
LOVED having my boy Hayden back as Vader, but I agree. They really made him look like Kylo Ren in the Kenobi series instead of the menacing villain we see in the OT.
@@johnlesser1523 Yeah, honestly Vader in Kenobi was exactly where he needed to be. It's called character development. Much like Anakin was in Revenge of the Sith, he was powerful and intimidating, but he was also reckless and his emotions made him act with impaired judgement. Not to mention that the whole reason he started down the dark side, was out of fear for losing Padme. Now, she's gone, and he's essentially betrayed everyone for no reason. Finding Kenobi, the one who 'took her from him' within his own mind, denying himself as the cause, it's perfectly in character for him to have screwed up and lost to Kenobi. It doesn't deprive him of the menacing effect, but elaborates on his journey to that point.
@@corellioncrusaderproductio4679 that's one good explanation. I only wish it was so easy for others to believe that too, but some people don't fully understand who and what Vader is.
@@chrisquinn3377 I disagree. Kenobi had the raw emotion Vader in it ... And Vader was at his most vicious and most powerful, The only difference between Vader in the original trilogy and Kenobi is he got wiser and smarter and more patient. That's the only difference between the two timelines of Vader
I haven't been excited about a lot of Star Wars things, especially the shows, in the past few months, but this is awesome! I can't wait for this to come out!
This is amazing~!! It is beyond pathetic disney can't actually make a movie feel like this short made me feel and I am guessing here but you all felt that shiver down the spine yes?, worst part is they got the resources to do so and still they manage to f up. Kudos to you man this is golden.
A couple things, A) this have me goosebumps. My mouth dropped when Vader landed. B) just... the difference in _love_ for the character. You compare this TH-camr with Disney and who do you think loves the story and character more? It's obvious to me. Freaking excited for the final product.
I love how the burning represents mustafar with him losing and how at the end with that sweet imp march playing it shows Vader walking in to the dark like him embracing the dark side and being cold. Props to sw theory great work I can't wait for Vader 2
I simply love it, nothing more, nothing less. I just have tears in my eyes, because we're living in a times like this, where people with genuine passion can do such beautiful things. Thank you so much for all your effort and time to serve us with such masterpiece
It's obvious that you and your team have poured your hearts and souls into this project! It looks incredible and I can't wait to see where the story goes!
Im more excited for this then any other star wars content. I have a feeling this will be some of the best vader content ever produced. We will look back for decades on the incredible work you will do.
Been watching you since 2016, my senior year in high school - graduated college this May with 2 degrees, getting married in December...still watching!!! Your content is incredible and really thought-provoking. I wish I'd continued with the creativity I had for SW (I wrote a meager script for Episode 7 when I was in 5th Grade back in the day...hahaha). That being said, this CINEMATIC. I would be first in line for a ticket to see this in theaters man. Epic. Can't wait to see the finished product. MTFBWY
This...this is what we need right now thankyou legend really hope L.A. can recognise your talent they need you up there helping steer the SW universe 🙏♥️
It looks amazing, brother, can’t wait for the whole thing! Take all the time you need and dont feel the need to rush it, I’m sure it will be a masterpiece
Fantastic job - so intense. I love how even in this cinematic you capture the inner turmoil of Vader with the Padme whisper. Also the transition from Anakin to Vader. Just EPIC! Great Job Theory! It just shows that fans like yourself can understand the characters the most & also what fans want to see.
Thank you for your support, everyone! We have a long road ahead now, and I couldn't be more excited.

As a music geek I must say you did an absolutely amazing job with this. The music fit the story and atmosphere so well. Beautifully done Samuel!

The fact this is all fan-made is what makes it even better. Disney should be taking notes from this channel, because this is AMAZING 🤩
Bruh
Disney are delusional
No kidding. This is unreal
Disney really dislikes theory I have the feeling.
They better not copyright the music again like last time
I love the rings around the screen during the flashback to Anakin scene. If anyone didn’t realize, they’re the same rings around Anakins dreams of his mother and late Padme’s deaths
That's actually a pretty cool detail!!
That shot of Vader walking through the fire is pure nightmare fuel and I love it.

I wanna do this too but lack the funding
@Dick Trickle ok
@Dick Trickle k
@Dick Trickle Yeah I much rather see a rated R Star Wars that’s gritty and tells a story of redemption not through family but through self discovery.
At the rate this is being completed we’ll be able to watch it all in about 30 years
It's so dark, gritty, cinematically powerful, and tragic I just love it so much. Everything about it is absolutely superb from the graphics/environment, the music, the sound design, the duality of Anakin/Vader showcased with that incredible transition between the column Vader to Anakin to Vader, the tragically nostalgic voice references and how it all ties back to him and what he must be thinking in his mind at the time, especially since this is a time period where he is still more Anakin then Vader or at least at extreme conflict so early on after Revenge of The Sith.
Can’t believe it’s been a year already. This is better than anything Disney is doing these days with Star Wars.
When he initially said he was gonna go the animation route… I was upset. But this looks absolutely stunning.
These days if done right animation can look essentially lifelike with the most chilling photorealism, heck even playing The Force Unleashed a decade ago it felt at times like a live-action movie. It's evolved to the point patreon-supported fans with a shoestring budget can rival mammoth theatrical films with record-sized Disney budgets.
The whole 5 part series done like this would be incredible
This is animation?
@@amvcentral9198 duh
I mean, vader's mask is easier to make look like live action than a human's face, so we will have to wait to see how realistic this will really look
This is incredibly well done. Love the conflict that’s obviously running through Vader as he nears a conflict with who he probably hates more than Obi-Wan. The first Jedi he ever betrayed, and the only one who he probably fears facing.
Am I missing something, was it supposed to be under 3 minutes or is there a longer version?

I can't wait to see the final product. Fan productions like this are what make it so exciting to be a star wars fan. The time and dedication you put into each and every video are truly amazing. Much appreciation Lord Theory.
This was absolutely AMAZING I didn't want this to end
You could feel Anakins emotions the whole time in this, amazing 💯
Could you feel them too?
@@lewisaspden3217 Well Mace Windu is one of the few that could actually beat Vadar in a straight up combat, so I would imagine that Vadar is feeling some not so small levels of anxiety.
@@luminatrixfanfictionnah i dont feel like Windu would be able to defeat Vader..I do agree he could give him a good fight but in canon Vader is second to only Palpatine during the Empire era..And Palpatine Post ROTS is much much more powerful version than Mace encountered and defeated..I feel like only Yoda would have a chance to beat Vader but it would depend on which version of Vader he would be fighting..Since i dont think he would be able to defeat ROTJ Vader because of him being relatively close to Sidious in power in canon
Dude this looks amazing. Fantastic job to you and everyone else who made this!
It’s sad to say that this Darth Vader is much more intimidated that the one we got in KENOBI. CAN’T wait to see this project 🔥
LOVED having my boy Hayden back as Vader, but I agree. They really made him look like Kylo Ren in the Kenobi series instead of the menacing villain we see in the OT.
@@slashtitan1035 Yeah, but at least Hayden will have more to work with in the "Ahsoka" series.
@@slashtitan1035 because he hasn’t evolved and matured into who he was in the OT. He was emotional and prone to outbursts and that is his weakness
@@johnlesser1523 Yeah, honestly Vader in Kenobi was exactly where he needed to be. It's called character development. Much like Anakin was in Revenge of the Sith, he was powerful and intimidating, but he was also reckless and his emotions made him act with impaired judgement.
Not to mention that the whole reason he started down the dark side, was out of fear for losing Padme. Now, she's gone, and he's essentially betrayed everyone for no reason. Finding Kenobi, the one who 'took her from him' within his own mind, denying himself as the cause, it's perfectly in character for him to have screwed up and lost to Kenobi.
It doesn't deprive him of the menacing effect, but elaborates on his journey to that point.
@@corellioncrusaderproductio4679 that's one good explanation. I only wish it was so easy for others to believe that too, but some people don't fully understand who and what Vader is.
More excited for this then anything coming from actual disney. This looks amazing and im 30 seconds in
It's Vader ...that alone is better then anything then Disney besides obi one Kenobi which had Vader in it Equal draw between the two
@@DaG.O.A.T. kenobi had the husk of vader his characterization was so off imo made so many idiotic decisions
@@chrisquinn3377 I disagree. Kenobi had the raw emotion Vader in it ... And Vader was at his most vicious and most powerful, The only difference between Vader in the original trilogy and Kenobi is he got wiser and smarter and more patient. That's the only difference between the two timelines of Vader
Bro, somebody needs to give this due to job at Disney like four years ago. This stuff is incredible.
Unfortunately Disney hates anyone who cares about Star Wars and it’s established lore
Don't be ridiculous. Disney are trying to destroy Star Wars not make it awesome, don't you know that? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Nope, don't. We all know what happened to that WH40K Astartes dude
@@universalflamethrower6342 What happened
I haven't been excited about a lot of Star Wars things, especially the shows, in the past few months, but this is awesome! I can't wait for this to come out!
This is amazing~!!
It is beyond pathetic disney can't actually make a movie feel like this short made me feel and I am guessing here but you all felt that shiver down the spine yes?, worst part is they got the resources to do so and still they manage to f up.
Kudos to you man this is golden.
Disney cares only about 💲money💲. So sad.
This is amazing!
🔥
A couple things,
A) this have me goosebumps. My mouth dropped when Vader landed.
B) just... the difference in _love_ for the character. You compare this TH-camr with Disney and who do you think loves the story and character more? It's obvious to me.
Freaking excited for the final product.
I love how the burning represents mustafar with him losing and how at the end with that sweet imp march playing it shows Vader walking in to the dark like him embracing the dark side and being cold. Props to sw theory great work I can't wait for Vader 2
I’m glad it’s an animation now. The possibilities it unlocks are far beyond a fan made live action. Very excited for the rest!!
THIS IS BETTER THEN THE MOVIES WOW.
No dialogue gives more storytelling than you think. This proves it.
This looks absolutely incredible. Can't wait to see the next episode.
This was gorgeous, and very badass! The music was beautiful! Absolute masterpiece of a film
Really incredible job man. Your passion shows through. Wish they would hire you and give you free reign with a project of your own.
How can two minutes be more interesting than an entire trilogy?
Fact
When's the episode dropping?
@@mindoverbody7647 Another 2 years for the next EP and it gonna be like 3 mins
I simply love it, nothing more, nothing less.
I just have tears in my eyes, because we're living in a times like this, where people with genuine passion can do such beautiful things.
Thank you so much for all your effort and time to serve us with such masterpiece
It's obvious that you and your team have poured your hearts and souls into this project! It looks incredible and I can't wait to see where the story goes!
This looks like the old republic cinematic cutscenes that’s how good these graphics are. Well done sir
Pretty much once a month I have to watch Episode 1 of Vader, it never gets old. Everything you guys do is perfect.
“Killed not by clones, this padawan. By a lightsaber he was.” Hype for ep 2!! 🔥
Absolutely, incredibly beautiful and so poetic, just as George would've done it. I applaud your work a thousand times
We don't deserve you Theory! This is outstanding the graphics are top tier, on par with the KOTOR Cinematics! Where can one donate?!
Im more excited for this then any other star wars content. I have a feeling this will be some of the best vader content ever produced. We will look back for decades on the incredible work you will do.
Respect to everyone who put time and effort into making this
Been watching you since 2016, my senior year in high school - graduated college this May with 2 degrees, getting married in December...still watching!!! Your content is incredible and really thought-provoking. I wish I'd continued with the creativity I had for SW (I wrote a meager script for Episode 7 when I was in 5th Grade back in the day...hahaha).
That being said, this CINEMATIC. I would be first in line for a ticket to see this in theaters man. Epic. Can't wait to see the finished product. MTFBWY
Absolutely Stunning in every way! Visuals, sound and a very tense dark atmosphere all created in just under 3 mins. Can't wait to see more.
This...this is what we need right now thankyou legend really hope L.A. can recognise your talent they need you up there helping steer the SW universe 🙏♥️
This was absolutely amazing work,it captures the badassery
That Vader has naturally no matter what version
It looks amazing, brother, can’t wait for the whole thing! Take all the time you need and dont feel the need to rush it, I’m sure it will be a masterpiece
Fantastic job - so intense. I love how even in this cinematic you capture the inner turmoil of Vader with the Padme whisper. Also the transition from Anakin to Vader. Just EPIC! Great Job Theory! It just shows that fans like yourself can understand the characters the most & also what fans want to see.
Wow these Star Wars fans that put these films together are super talented and …….IMPRESSIVE MOST IMPRESSIVE!
