It has been about two years in the making, but here it finally is, The Resistance. Also, be sure to see our new film, Reclamation here: • Reclamation - Action/S...
Something I noticed is the fighting was very fast paced but when the apprentice was fighting it felt slower, more awkward and thinking about it it makes sense. The apprentice is likely not as powerful and experienced as our main two duelists which would explain the slower paced fighting. Very well choreographed and incredibly entertaining to watch.
None of the fighting was sped up, except for part of me stabbing the sith at the very end. But other than that, none of the fighting was speed at all, what you see is what we did.
Some of the best light saber choreography I've ever seen, especially on the part of ResisterOfEvil. I enjoyed the dramatic context even though the acting was rough. But it had heart. Awesome tracking shot at 3:43 with the reverse pickup. wow. Overall, a much higher than average light saber clip.
This was one of the best fan-made films ever made. I've seen this when I was around 9-10 years old and was captured by how well something can be done by a big Star Wars fan. I noticed that the 2 characters seem to have shared some history. The Sith Lord either was his master or a close friend as a Jedi. He then embraced the dark side and took a new apprentice. It's clear the apprentice was weaker than him, and judging by his master's amazement when his pupil was defeated, he tried to do a Palpatine. He nearly succeded, showed by your anger and the animal-like roars, but then you saw how he affected you and became one with the Force and killed him with his own sword, showing how his arrogance had actually killed him. Had to spend 12 minutes(not kidding) in order to find this again, but loved seeing this again.
For 2006 this is great, absolutely incredible fighting skills and good saber cgi. The only thing I will say is why did the Jedi sound like another species when you look at him in the clash and when getting chocked
Something about the sequence with him coming down the hill (awesome idea and execution!) and his dark side roar is compelling. I keep coming back to that part. Enjoyed this a lot, mates!
bro I remember seeing this like 8 or 9 years ago when I was a little kid and when he force choked the Jedi making his mouth bleed I remember getting so scared I made my mom turn the computer off lol, but nah this is literally a legendary video right here, my childhood.
Wow this was one of my fav things to watch so many years ago. Wanted to find it again! Great work, really inspired some of the duals I write myself (I write scripts and stuff lolololol) (it is also filming at its best, very well done!)
its amazing how the apprentice keep a straight poker face for the full duration of his fight... choreography was top notch tho, just needs more emotion to drive the struggle home.
What! I thought the audio got copyright blocked and muted! Incredible. Just an incredible fan film with the use of lord of the rings soundtrack to up the hype and epicness. True nostalgia right here. Love this.
I just wanted to ask umm... why do they all sound like vampires every time someone is killed, injured, and screaming? it's a pretty good video btw just so you know.
As a whole, this video was impressive. The special effects were (mostly) good and the choreography was stellar. I very much enjoyed this video. I also have a few things I'd like to point out issues with. I tend to be blunt when putting these forth, so do take what I say with a grain of salt. *I see a lot of Star Wars lore inaccuracy. That is something you should address in further videos. *Yes. They have feet. Yes, there is dirt in the terrain. Why do we need to constantly see the combatants' feet? It takes away from the appeal of the battle. *The music overpowers the voices of the actors. I cannot hear what is being said properly. *Accepting a red lightsaber does NOT equate to turning to the dark side. A Jedi is just as capable of wielding a red lightsaber as a Sith is of wielding a blue. They're just colours and that just so happened to be the weapon nearby with which the Jedi was able to protect himself. *You are putting in camera angles and pans that are, frankly, unnecessary. It takes away from the tension of the fight. *I find the inhuman growling/snarling to be rather pointless, illogical, and unnecessary. What is the point of that, exactly?
Thank you for taking the time to read my comments. I truly do enjoy a good lightsaber duel and you really brought it to the table. I will be sure to check out your film when I get the time to.
For your complaint of them not using both colors or say as if the colors of the Saber means you are then a sith, it is simbolizm meaning they have given into the dark side and that there can not be in between but only one side.
+Lunor M. Actually, red light saber crystals Are found on a planet different fro the one other crystals are. They give off a strange aura that affects the beholders attitude and when he growls its because hes succumbing to the dark side and he is trying to fight it.
Wonderful choreography during the lightsaber interaction and AMAZING special effects gentlemen! Not surprised it took 2 years to complete. Well done....Now I gotta check out the link!
Anyone notice this is called "The Resistance" - This was also created seven years ago... The new movie's sides are The First Order, and The Resistance.
I don't critique specifics. Having said that, the shear volume of time and energy that you've spent producing your films is a strong testament to your belief and dedication to your vision. It's obvious your efforts are genuine - that you believe in what you're doing. I'm impressed by your commitment; it required a lot of courage.
Despite its corny acting, its recycled lines, and that strange snarl thing that he does, I love this video. I used it as a model for a lightsaber duel I choreographed for a video I did at school. The cinematography is nice (especially the far away shot.), the choreography is spectacular, and the setting is fitting. My favorite part is probably either at 4:58 , or at 7:42 . I love this part because the lightsabers become a symbol of the dark side vs the light, good vs bad. It's something that's done with such subtlety and without force (no pun intended). Pure genius.
+Caleb Smith I'd upload it, but I used real Star Wars music and I'm afraid of getting a copy right strike from Disney. Maybe I'll just upload it anyway, idk. Also, thanks for replying! I can't believe you're still looking at comments all these years later lol. Do you ever watch this video again with your friends for novelty sake?
+Jonathan Myers Sometimes. The two years journey of film making was too significant for me to to ever leave in the dust :) Let me know if you ever upload your film.
Awesome sauce, you guys did an amazing job with the saber battles, not even joking, it is fricken amazing what you guys did with this video. Looked better than some big budget fight sequences. Good job
Even by today's LCC (Lightsaber Choreography Competition) standards, this was an amazing and awesomely fast paced Choreography, apart from the apprentice I must add...
It's awesome. I do have a couple of questions though. Why does using a red lightsaber start turning him to the dark side? Leia used a red saber in the books. I an episode of Clone Wars, Obi-Wan had to use Ventress's red sabers. And why does he start growling when he's about to turn to the dark side? Other than these 2 things, it's awesome.
+Daniel Fincannon The red lightsaber was being used as a narrative device. I know using one does not make a jedi evil, but hopefully we still made our point. Glad you liked the rest.
+John Zhou no red lightsabers are used by the following dark jedi, sith, sith aprentises, and jedi that battle sith and take their lightsabers for an advantige
This was kickass! The people bagging on the video just wish they could be involved in cool & fun projects like this. You guys are out there doing it, & you're doing really well. Hope there is more!
What did you use for blades because i saw you have pbc piping i use bamboo then put a long pbc pipe inside then put a bolt connecting the bamboo and the pbc pipe together and i made 5 of them they are good for fighting
exclude the acting this was very well done. Much more fast paced and life like than other videos and also nice clothing, was a nice touch. And as master Yoda would say "Impressive, most impressive."
@DachampsterStudios First of all, wouldn't it just get blocked again? And second, I can not find how to do that anywhere, would I have to contact TH-cam?
@DachampsterStudios I would like to do that, but I haven't found any way to swap the audio other than to put in the music TH-cam provides, which I don't like and would not have dialogue anyway. If you know a way to put in my own audio I would love to know it.

Seriously. The apprentice was fighting very lightly.
No aggression, no power, no ferocity.
Was bro a monster like what was he?
3:32 That scream scared me and stuck in my mind for quite a long time when I was younger. I miss duels like these
14 years later, still better than the whole sequel trilogy
It’s been 11 years since this was released, and it’s still better than the sequel trilogy fights
I hope you mean the choreography

12 years now
This is truly a TH-cam classic
Who else is here re-watching this in 2020?
Because honestly this fight was really good when I was kid. And well it still is
Im still freaking out of how good these effects are. Take in for consideration that this was made in 2006!!
Thanks!
Don't forger about the choreography!
@@ResisterOfEvil you should be in stunts in star wars films you guys are seriously talented
8.
out of all the lightsaber battles in real life that ive seen on youtube this one is by far the best
Thank you, kind Sr!
The resistance here is oddly enough better than the actual resistance we ever had
Say what you will about their appearance and acting, the fight is greatly choreographed
I can't stop laughting of their emotion er er er er a a a a a 😂But still the fighting scenes is great👍
I know RIGHT 3:32
Not sure if I'm the only one, but the Sith-guy looks a bit like Kylo Ren from the newest Star Wars movie "The Force Awakens"

Very good but why does the Jedi keep making growling noises like golum from lord of the rings?
And music too
idk
+Ronan O'Kane It might be the dark side of the force flowing through him and that's how he channels his anger.
+Neko Rave Omg I'm dying!!!
It has lord of the ring music.
10 years and still a great duel
This is so underrated it hurts.
2:05 what are thoooose!!!
Uh, I don't know. I...I thought that they were kinda dashy. :D

Well people today wear uglier shoes than that
Absolutely love this, hope you make more content like this again in the future Caleb we miss you🙌
Thanks! I miss making this content! It was fun!
The skills and combat saber swings in this are phenomenal😍😱 Amazing job!
this is the most realistic light Saber battle I've ever seen this has to be be in a movie of star wars
I'm tired of seeing the bad guys always winning in these fan-made duels. Nice to see a good guy win for once.
Really.... lord of the rings music.
I think it works and its awesome

The idea of a Sith with braces just made me giggle. x) But still, not bad at all.

lol only a jedi deals in absolutes. Nice switcharoose
Nice editing and camera work to make the force jump work
Thanks man, low budget. We had to be clever!
I remember seeing this waaaaaaaay back in '08. Have to come back and watch it again once in a while. Still great.

To be honest it’s one of the fiercest lightsaber duels I’ve ever seen just leave out the growling

i think Anakin and Obi Wan was better

to be honest, i love this video, but i thought that it was equal to anakin vs obi wan in episode 3 and obi wan and quigon vs maul in episode 1

Good fight but bad acting
Just like the prequels
and the originals were the opposite
What did you use for blades because i saw you have pbc piping i use bamboo then put a long pbc pipe inside then put a bolt connecting the bamboo and the pbc pipe together and i made 5 of them they are good for fighting

What a sith menace! Oh and the braces too!
@DachampsterStudios First of all, wouldn't it just get blocked again? And second, I can not find how to do that anywhere, would I have to contact TH-cam?
How can i add with After Effects the lightsabers' clash when they hit each other?
The guy with the red lightsaber his voice was so Aggressive
GOOO MR SMITHHHHHHHH SPEECH AND DEBATE TEACHER
@DachampsterStudios I would like to do that, but I haven't found any way to swap the audio other than to put in the music TH-cam provides, which I don't like and would not have dialogue anyway. If you know a way to put in my own audio I would love to know it.
Even though the dark lord had braces best lightsaber fan made video ive seen made by highschoolers !
For a fiom in 2008, this is prettty good
can we just talk about that slow mo scene 😂😂😂 it had me crying xD
THATS EVEN BETTER THAN THE LIGHTSABER FIGHTS IN THE MOVIES GREAT JOB!
I am interested in how you made it look like you were using the force with the lightsabers, also the igniting which I would love to learn.
I like that their lightsabers are just grey PVC pipes with black tape
