@isiman100 Sideous is the most powerful, & during rule of 2 all the old abilities were reclaimed at some point, assuming my assumption on time period is correct a Sith possesing a lesser version of a famed Sith ability should not be that surprising. It looks more like pure illusion besides.
@isiman100 any legend even vaguely referecing the ability would have promoted experimentation to achieve reclamation of lost abilities, it's the least documented period of major sith activity in star wars but we know 1. how they operated & 2. that they succeeded.
Depends on who you mean by fans. If you mean the ones who produce and enjoy this kind of video, then yes. But if you mean the legion of teenage men (and some teenage women) for whom Use Luke Or Finn as their personal projections then no.
9 minutes and 47 seconds of perfection. Seriously: How much would you need to release a 2-hour feature with this quality? I'm sure the entire SW community would definitely support it.
This is freaking awesome. It also shows how terrifying fighting a Sith Lord can be. Imagine having to deal with those illusions in a fight while also trying to remember your training and maintain a sense of peace. No wonder it's so easy to fall to darkness. We haven't really been exposed to the esoteric side of the force, and I like seeing an actual display of sith magic here. It makes you really understand what Palpatine meant about the "unnatural" side of the force. Edit: It also shows that the Sith aren't necessarily stronger after all. The jedi don't have the same POWER, but they're stronger in a way that the Sith can't be.
Helljumper91 there both equal in power but this power is different from each other but they are still equal because one can’t exist without the other that’s what both sides don’t realize. There has to be a balance because without it will only create chaos
@@Officerdown76 or read Nietzsche. there are a few like darth marr who says there is only the force(paraphrasing, havent played swtor in awhile), ie there is no light or dark... but someone from the star wars universe would have to have written the book for someone to read it.
This was such a beautiful film; the characters and the scripting were very deeply moving. It portrays the Sith in a remarkably neutral light, in a way that dispels the idea of good and evil and reveals the truth that there are simply different disciplines surrounding the mastery of the fundamental energies that silently govern the universe. I'll probably watch this a hundred times more!
The best propaganda is usually addictive.. You were seduced easily and want more. Dispelling the idea of good and evil is what evil does best. There's even a quote about it. ruclips.net/video/KnGo6Qm0Wt8/видео.html
That is true. However, the statement does not convey that idea. Instead it states that once one of them dies, the training is complete. This is a true statement, but it does not mean that the apprentice has become better than the master.
@Kommentator Hey! Me again. After having the discussion with ya last week I realized that my original comment is quite offensive! I did not mean to call the one(s) involved in the making of this film unintelligent. And for that, I am sorry. If you want me to edit the post, I will gladly do so. I didnt realize it until after I posted it and had that discussion with you. What I meant was that I do not agree with the philosophy (which is the point of the film). It's part of the way of the sith and I dont agree with it. Other than that, the film was very well done and I hope we see more in the future! P.s. are you the creator using an alt account? Because both accounts were created on the same day and year. You dont have to confirm, but I would find it awesme if I was talking to the guy who made this film!
Anyone else get a Nazgul vibe from the guy with the green saber? Amazing fan film. Love the story, and especially the choreography and the cinematography. I always wanted to see a saber duel in the pitch black and this delivered perfectly!
This was beyond perfection. I do not know what your budget or timeframe for making this was, but in less than 12 minutes you have captured the essence of both Star Wars and the concept of a great movie. You have an interesting plot, very good acting, great special effects and masterful choreography, along with some fun callbacks to the lore, while making an entirely new story. And somehow you squeezed more character development into these 12 minutes than the Big Bad Mouse squeezed into 3 movies that took 7 hours to watch and 898 million dollars to make. So thank you for this masterpiece! 👑🙏
This is honestly one of the BEST Star Wars fan films Ive ever seen on RUclips. And Ive seen a shit ton. Amazing script, crisp and clean special effects and cinematography. The reciting of the Sith code sent chills down my spine!
Indeed, I concur 100%. Phenomenal in all regards. Was so excited to Not see just another bunch of bath-robed bearded middle-age men wandering the local forest and woods chasing really badly created Mando bounty hunters. I couldn't do any better, and I'm sure a lot worse! But to these few, Brava!
Sigh*...here we go. at least Rey's development, although slow n slightly fucked up by lack of planning n different writers n directors controlling the narrative, still manages to feel natural and not wooden n over dramatic n "forced" like Anakin's in the prequels. God those movies are hard to watch n enjoy. That's why I prefer the Clone Wars show & Books. The Sequels r imperfect sure, but so are all the SW films, so what, they were still enjoyable n changed things. I look at it like an experiment.

The Sith are in general more interesting than that of the Jedi. The Sith evolved over many centuries while the JEdi remained practically stagnant and unchanging.
An interesting character must have flaws. Something to overcome, to fight against, or something to be driven by. The Sith lend themselves to this more easily because they often don't pretend otherwise. The Jedi are harder to make interesting in that way because of the focus on a kind of serene perfection. Look at all of the memorable and "interesting" Jedi. They ALMOST fell, or they struggle with their duties, or they failed in some way and must atone. Few people remember the Archive Librarian, because she wasn't very interesting. An average Jedi. But if there is a named Sith, even if they died quick, the often go out doing something terrible and flaw-filled. Perhaps, like the Dark Side, it's "quicker and easier" to make a Sith more interesting. ;)
Its still pre-EP VI "ROJ" as Luke Skywalker and a little in Princess Leia were the remaining powers of the Jedi (or strong in The Force)! The stories have not been filled in the future Disney probable "Midquels" to find out how the First Order, Snoke, Kylo Ren and Knights of Ren to who really were Rey's parents (we still will not know after EP IX getting faked by EP X, XI and XII mind-set only to go back into what the rebels did in the 32+ year time gap a little via Midquels)!
I just saw this and I'm speechless. How in the world a 10 minute short film has more muanced performances, lore and story, and IMMACULATELY filmed duel vs. what we get on Disney +. Is anyone paying attention. LucasFilm, please hire Anthony Pietromonaco today!!
You don't understand it. It's not that Disney doesn't have good directors and screenwriters, it's their agenda that needs to be destroyed if possible. If Disney hired Anthony Pietromonaco, he would be as much a slave to their agenda as anyone else, and if not, they would fire him. I'm glad that there are still such unbiased, unbound filmmakers who are not manipulated by a corrupt superior from some shitty company.
yeah, creative control would be non existent, so many check boxes to be filled so a project being released is greenlit. Its like hiring great directors like Nolan/Kubrick/Tarantino/Villeanueve but have crap writers, producers, actors and studio executives telling you what to do.
I saw this advertised as a fan film. It looks better than 99% of what comes out of Hollywood. The effects were top-notch and the music was fantastic and so appropriate.
It is very well made, but saying it looks better than 99% of movies is nonsense, even if you only watch blockbusters. Anyway, congratulations to all the people involved in making this film, keep the good work!
you're 100% correct! I wish they would seriously consider doing a full timed movie about the sith! No one does these things and they absolutely have the skills to do it! Please, consider doing a couple of full timed movies about the Darth Bane Trilogy or Revan even. Darth Bane is the best series in the franchise. You all could do something wonderful with this trilogy, since you have zeros restraints put on you.
This was indescribable. You conveyed more through her actions and desperation than words could ever have done. Also not placing a red blade on the master's lightsaber was very disconcerting. You started out not knowing if he was Sith or a Dark Jedi. No matter which he was in your mind he was definitely unhinged and insane. I would love to know more of their backstories. Thank you and your group for a great story.
I am speechless. Usually I find something wrong with most Star Wars fan films but this is the most amazing one I’ve seen so far. This should be expanded on. I want more of this please.
This was brilliant! Everything was done to perfection. I've watched SO MANY of these and this was near the best. Second only to Darth Maul: Apprentice. I really hope we get to see some future exploits of Kia.
This is easily one of the best Star Wars fan films ever produced to this day. Definitely goes in my top 5 favorites of all time. That's saying a lot, too, considering the numerously large amount of SW fan films that exist which of seen. It's far and few between when we get a gem, like this one.
🌟 *The gang of emerald lightsabers looked impressive, reminded me of the Nazguls.* But, the design of the emerald lightsaber, tho. The tiny partical effects around the laser. Very satisfying. 🤤🤤
I'm not entirely sure how so many fans have overlooked this particular gem. It's one of the most solid Star Wars fan films out there - really great costumes and setting, it really makes me wonder how you pulled it all off. Terrific work on this, guys.
There are dozens of star wars fan films out there now, so I could see how many would miss it, fortunately "The Force is strong with these 12 fan films" lead me here
Wow. This is one of the best fan-films I've seen. It gives so much in so little time. I love the visualization of the Sith mantra, the fight itself was creative and innovative. I love when they both turn off their lightsabers. It shows how she learns and adapts her strategy. And it just worked visually. Everything about it was great.
“Perceive that which cannot be seen with the eye.” -- Miyamoto Musashi, A Book of Five Rings: The Classic Guide to Strategy. Excellent film, excellent story, excellent acting!
I am not accustom to watching a Star Wars fan film without loosing interest or fast forwarding some parts, and I don't ever remember commenting on a fan film before but this merited an exception. This film kept me interested thru its entirety. The story had me questioning how she came to be there and under what circumstances, and who the nemesis was (rouge Jedi or Sith); which gave it an intriguing mystery (a weakness of mine). I enjoyed your use of the darkness not just as an element of the fight but as an added depth of the situation. Also, the CG was used very effectively in the detail of the fight scenes, showing "sparks" or remnants of sparks after each clashing of the light sabers, and the formation (and the imperfections) of the blades of each one. I am not film critique nor do I pretend to be. I'm just an old guy, who's a Star Wars fan ever since I watched the original film (Episode IV) in 1977 at my local theater; multiple times. Content creators like you keep adding to the Star Wars universe with these fan films and I, for one, say "Thank you".
Wait is the Master speaking ancient Sith!? Also the kyber saber is just amazing, I wish we could see a force user control kyber to that degree, most duelist's and force users alike depend on technology giving them an ease of control over the kyber. Another thing I really like is that she had multiple burn marks on her body, making her failures known along her path of her training. DUDE, even the master has the same marks as her, he was training her as he was trained!
It's so well done you'd think this was a produced pitch concept for studio heads to consider but it is in fact a fan film. Perfect execution. I thought the music was already existing Star Wars but it's original!!
The effects specialist KILLED it! Amazing choreography, amazing effects, fantastic story for a short film. Blown away. THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH THESE CREATORS!
Damn good. Summarizes the pinnacle of the Sith Lord and Apprentice relationship. Cruelty, mystery, subtlety hidden inside layers of violence and endless trials of will.
Great Star Wars Tale! Loved the Grey/Dark side theme! The lead actress does an above the duty performance, made me crave to see her in more of her adventures. Great Work, please keep making Great Star Wars!!!
Amazing quality of all parts. Cinematography, acting, script, score... well done. Star Wars truly belongs to the fans now. Disney isn’t canon. The fan films like this are.
I've been on a SWU fan film kick lately and this by far is the best one I've seen yet.. If I didn't know any better I'd sware fencing was both actors hobby .goat damn they were good!!!.. Awesome film, and thanks for putting it up
@@buddhafollower Your, genius bar, is mighty low. Lucas is depressed because he knows he's just a hack that got lucky. He hasn't made anything remotely good since 1985. TRUTH!
Very well done you guys! It feels like star wars. Not something from the inner circle of planets but something that would take place in the outer rim. Some hermit type Sith searching to teach a new apprentice. Very cool
Congratulations on the great work! The only thing that did not stay true to the canonical universe of Star Wars was the luminosity of the sabers. But do not compromise the quality of your work. Beautiful tale.
A 12 Minute Fan-Film was more intense, real and entertaining than the 3 Sequels from Disney. Impressive! Hopefully I will find more of these Diamonds on RUclips....
I loved the lightsaber effects and the way in which lighting was used, in the making of it and in terms of how it was used in the lightsaber choreography, which was also believable.
See the credits of all who worked on the Choreography at the official website which is listed in the page details above :). - MAVIII (Conceptual/Storyboard Designer for the film)
The master's movements were so bloody awesome. There was something so unnaturally fast, and intimidating about them. That, coupled with his tattered attire, and voice...
I’m a musician...25 years ago if one wanted to create a pro grade recording, it was time to hire a producer and head off to a commercial studio. Big bucks. There were an exceptional few that had a special something that allowed them to work in a, by comparison, primitive home studio and be commercially successful. Now most anyone with some effort, $1000-$1500 in gear and adequate self education can create a pro grade EP or album if they are committed enough. My point? This fan film, an amateur effort, is proof that one can craft a professional level film, albeit a short, but a quality production nevertheless. Technology is a great equalizer and democratizer in the right hands.
The producers of Star Wars need to seriously consider hiring the creators of this fan made short film because it is beautifully created! The 11 minutes of this film was better than the full scale Hollywood production of some of the Star War prequels in the Phantom Menace series. It was also interesting seeing the training if a Sith as opposed to a Jedi. If your a SW fan this is definitely worth checking out!
Wow! Am VERY proud to have worked on the Conceptual Designs of the Sith, Jedi Costumes and Storyboards and working with the Director. But the cast and crew also did such a fantastic job! Thank you Kendall for such a great compliment to the Director and his fine Manifest Crew ^_^.
I agree but unfortunately, the same company that owns Mickey Mouse now owns Star Wars. Star Wars will never be as dark as it should be. There always be a bad guy, but the dark side of the force will never truly be shown because it would alienate 70% of its audience target.
Great effort. I liked how you focus on two characters. Some interesting ideas were the Sith wielding non-red lightsabers and the Sith master being able to become one with the Force.
Andrew Lim Hey, funny finding you here, my fellow Quoran and Star wars fan! I am Diego. So, did you ended up enjoying this one more than Threads of Destiny for one reason or another? I seem to recall an answer of yours from last year or so that said that was one of the few Star Wars fan films you have seen. So how does this one compares?
Power of the Darkside is strong with this one. *Impressive.* It was this moment I had to pause and clap for this. You understand all too well. This was a very in-depth and Masterful piece of info only few will understand. Now I will watch the rest.
This was a damn good fan film! The quality, costuming, storyline, all of it came together well and gave a look at the Sith that isn't normally portrayed.
Holy crap, this was a real gem, suuuper pumped I found this. I’ve watched a lot of the fan films, this is easily the best one. This wasn’t super corny or overdone, fantastic effects. Fantastic all around, you guys did a PHENOMENAL job, please please please keep this up, I’m expecting more!!! You’ve got yourself a fan out of me, thanks for making me smile for 11 minutes and 54 seconds
Thank you! :D I'm the Conceptual and Storyboard Designer on the Film! Mo Meinhart (Makeup/Special Effects), Hannah Athena Lawton (Costumes) and Jaremy Aiello (Sculptures) did a fantastic job giving life to the designs me and the Director (Anthony) came up with :). Thanks again! - MAVIII
Absolutely fantastic! For a fanfilm this was brilliant, if you guys can pour the same heart and soul into any other content you create then you'll go far!
Mannn this is awesome! Love the effects and camera angles! Would be great if George took this and made a spin-off from the Star Wars serial, and concepts from the novels as well! *x2 thumbs up*
That was just F@@king awesome every part of it. The vfx, the special effects makeup, the way you developed the characters over the course of a single fight I just can not believe this is a fan film 1000/10
Just stumbled on the many Star Wars fan films out there. I appreciate the effort it takes to make these, but quite honestly I felt the vast majority are pretty amateurish - except for this one, this was several levels above! Just wow!
This 11 minute small fan film has the quality of a big budget Hollywood movie and is 1,000,000 times better than the entirety of The Last Jedi. You have accomplished something Kathleen Kennedy only dreams of being able to do. Congratulations you are a great creator and I hope you will get a chance to show that to Hollywood.
I absolutely love this film. It captures the creativity of the O.T. in that you're plunged right into the action without lengthy exposition and it begs hundreds of questions that get left to be addressed. That whole instant absorption and imagination leaves me wanting the rest of the movie where we find her name and story and all that. Keep writing! 🤩
Amazing content! Love the story, captures the rule of two so well! I'm planning one soon, also mainly sith focused, and this is a super cool inspiration! Keep it up!
Hollywood should be taking notes from you guys. This is amazing. I really think you guys should be able to write and produce the next star wars film in theaters

yeah, creative control would be non existent, so many check boxes to be filled so a project being released is greenlit. Its like hiring great directors like Nolan/Kubrick/Tarantino/Villeanueve but have crap writers, producers, actors and studio executives telling you what to do.
I saw this advertised as a fan film. It looks better than 99% of what comes out of Hollywood. The effects were top-notch and the music was fantastic and so appropriate.
Totally agree!
It is very well made, but saying it looks better than 99% of movies is nonsense, even if you only watch blockbusters. Anyway, congratulations to all the people involved in making this film, keep the good work!
Is because hollywood is so shit nowdays
The creativity is already gone there
you're 100% correct! I wish they would seriously consider doing a full timed movie about the sith! No one does these things and they absolutely have the skills to do it! Please, consider doing a couple of full timed movies about the Darth Bane Trilogy or Revan even. Darth Bane is the best series in the franchise. You all could do something wonderful with this trilogy, since you have zeros restraints put on you.
Ironically the guy who made it is a hollywood actor.
for those that didn’t know, he was reciting the sith code
I didn't know
@@johnhouston9587 The hell are you on about?
thats what i thought but his teaching looked more like a grey jedi the balance of the force and the darkside
I really love how the guy in the robe and mask is using a green lightsaber that’s bleeding. Super awesome and this film was pretty awesome as well 👏🏼
This was THE best fan film I've ever seen. The acting, the effects, the writing. All of it!
This was indescribable. You conveyed more through her actions and desperation than words could ever have done. Also not placing a red blade on the master's lightsaber was very disconcerting. You started out not knowing if he was Sith or a Dark Jedi. No matter which he was in your mind he was definitely unhinged and insane. I would love to know more of their backstories. Thank you and your group for a great story.
Someone actually managed to pull off a convincing and well made example of Sith Illusions. Hats off to you all, it was frigging great.
Excellent job! One of my favorite things, among many in this film, was the wisps of sparks emanating from when the sabers clash. Bravo.
I am speechless. Usually I find something wrong with most Star Wars fan films but this is the most amazing one I’ve seen so far. This should be expanded on. I want more of this please.
This was brilliant! Everything was done to perfection. I've watched SO MANY of these and this was near the best. Second only to Darth Maul: Apprentice. I really hope we get to see some future exploits of Kia.
Kenobi is even better. If you haven't seen it, you really need to.
This is easily one of the best Star Wars fan films ever produced to this day. Definitely goes in my top 5 favorites of all time. That's saying a lot, too, considering the numerously large amount of SW fan films that exist which of seen. It's far and few between when we get a gem, like this one.
Join to Kickstarter to produce the full movie, just beautiful.
Where is the Kickstarter link?! I want to help!
This was just excellent. A flash of light in the current darkness of this franchise.
George Lucas should’ve never sold it to the evil mouse…
🌟 *The gang of emerald lightsabers looked impressive, reminded me of the Nazguls.*
But, the design of the emerald lightsaber, tho. The tiny partical effects around the laser. Very satisfying. 🤤🤤
no offence but i think you're colour blind cuz im pretty sure that was turquoise
@@scare-crow3863
*"Colour blind"...*
@@scare-crow3863 this one does not realize that turquoise emeralds are a thing
@@Gunth0r i think he was talking about the colour mate
I'm not entirely sure how so many fans have overlooked this particular gem. It's one of the most solid Star Wars fan films out there - really great costumes and setting, it really makes me wonder how you pulled it all off. Terrific work on this, guys.
There are dozens of star wars fan films out there now, so I could see how many would miss it, fortunately "The Force is strong with these 12 fan films" lead me here
Wow. This is one of the best fan-films I've seen. It gives so much in so little time. I love the visualization of the Sith mantra, the fight itself was creative and innovative. I love when they both turn off their lightsabers. It shows how she learns and adapts her strategy. And it just worked visually. Everything about it was great.
“Perceive that which cannot be seen with the eye.” -- Miyamoto Musashi, A Book of Five Rings: The Classic Guide to Strategy. Excellent film, excellent story, excellent acting!
How does this not have more upvotes!? Super high quality production.
I am not accustom to watching a Star Wars fan film without loosing interest or fast forwarding some parts, and I don't ever remember commenting on a fan film before but this merited an exception.
This film kept me interested thru its entirety. The story had me questioning how she came to be there and under what circumstances, and who the nemesis was (rouge Jedi or Sith); which gave it an intriguing mystery (a weakness of mine). I enjoyed your use of the darkness not just as an element of the fight but as an added depth of the situation. Also, the CG was used very effectively in the detail of the fight scenes, showing "sparks" or remnants of sparks after each clashing of the light sabers, and the formation (and the imperfections) of the blades of each one.
I am not film critique nor do I pretend to be. I'm just an old guy, who's a Star Wars fan ever since I watched the original film (Episode IV) in 1977 at my local theater; multiple times.
Content creators like you keep adding to the Star Wars universe with these fan films and I, for one, say "Thank you".
Uncle_Bob thank you Uncle Bob. It’s comments like these that keep me going
This is fantastic! I love the primitive lightsaber!
Wait is the Master speaking ancient Sith!?
Also the kyber saber is just amazing, I wish we could see a force user control kyber to that degree, most duelist's and force users alike depend on technology giving them an ease of control over the kyber.
Another thing I really like is that she had multiple burn marks on her body, making her failures known along her path of her training.
DUDE, even the master has the same marks as her, he was training her as he was trained!
It's so well done you'd think this was a produced pitch concept for studio heads to consider but it is in fact a fan film. Perfect execution. I thought the music was already existing Star Wars but it's original!!
The main meaning of this movie is that you don't need to have a lot of money to make a good film :)
Great job! Kinda wish this was the intro to the next official movie...
dude rey would get her ass handed to her by this chick lol
The effects specialist KILLED it! Amazing choreography, amazing effects, fantastic story for a short film. Blown away. THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH THESE CREATORS!
Damn good. Summarizes the pinnacle of the Sith Lord and Apprentice relationship. Cruelty, mystery, subtlety hidden inside layers of violence and endless trials of will.
Bravo! Well Done! 🔥💯Seems like Disney got some inspiration from this with Qimir in the AcoShyte 😂
yeah no kidding...
need to see more about the Sith... brilliant bit of work this, hats off to all involved. 🖒🖒
Extraordinary Film! It's a mystery that I have not come across it. The music, props, the zoom in establishing shot--all a masterful composition!
Magnificent. Wonderful. Epic, Perfect. This must be a "star wars story". Disney: Hear us.
Great Star Wars Tale! Loved the Grey/Dark side theme! The lead actress does an above the duty performance, made me crave to see her in more of her adventures. Great Work, please keep making Great Star Wars!!!
Well that was time we spent. Kudos to the creator/s of this masterpiece
Amazing quality of all parts. Cinematography, acting, script, score... well done. Star Wars truly belongs to the fans now. Disney isn’t canon. The fan films like this are.
Darth Bane!!!! If these guys made the Darth Bane Trilogy......wow...just...wow. This was amazing.
I've been on a SWU fan film kick lately and this by far is the best one I've seen yet.. If I didn't know any better I'd sware fencing was both actors hobby .goat damn they were good!!!.. Awesome film, and thanks for putting it up
In 10 minutes you actually got me more invested than most of the entire franchise, and yeah including original trilogy.
@@buddhafollower Your, genius bar, is mighty low. Lucas is depressed because he knows he's just a hack that got lucky. He hasn't made anything remotely good since 1985. TRUTH!
@@buddhafollower Facts straight & mind is in order. Sorry that you continue to be so confused.
Very well done you guys!
It feels like star wars. Not something from the inner circle of planets but something that would take place in the outer rim. Some hermit type Sith searching to teach a new apprentice.
Very cool
I think this was the first time I've evr heard the Sith code spoken aloud in a film lol
My hair stood up 7:35 and got chills several times . I have been loving ALL of the independent S.W. films but this is IT ! EXCELLENT
"Impressive, most impressive." Btw, loved that you added the Sith code in the film! Keep on the good work!!! :D
What ??? this came out 3 years ago and RUclips NEVER recommended it to me ??
MASTERPIECE
This is what happens when Star Wars is done with love:
Dark Legacy
I must have watched dozens of Star Wars fan films over the years. But Dark Legacy, so far, still remains my favorite!
Congratulations on the great work! The only thing that did not stay true to the canonical universe of Star Wars was the luminosity of the sabers. But do not compromise the quality of your work. Beautiful tale.
A 12 Minute Fan-Film was more intense, real and entertaining than the 3 Sequels from Disney. Impressive!
Hopefully I will find more of these Diamonds on RUclips....
I loved the lightsaber effects and the way in which lighting was used, in the making of it and in terms of how it was used in the lightsaber choreography, which was also believable.
See the credits of all who worked on the Choreography at the official website which is listed in the page details above :).

The master's movements were so bloody awesome. There was something so unnaturally fast, and intimidating about them. That, coupled with his tattered attire, and voice...
Fantastic, what a movie! I wish you could make a whole serie based on this film!
I’m a musician...25 years ago if one wanted to create a pro grade recording, it was time to hire a producer and head off to a commercial studio. Big bucks.
There were an exceptional few that had a special something that allowed them to work in a, by comparison, primitive home studio and be commercially successful. Now most anyone with some effort, $1000-$1500 in gear and adequate self education can create a pro grade EP or album if they are committed enough. My point?
This fan film, an amateur effort, is proof that one can craft a professional level film, albeit a short, but a quality production nevertheless. Technology is a great equalizer and democratizer in the right hands.
The producers of Star Wars need to seriously consider hiring the creators of this fan made short film because it is beautifully created!
The 11 minutes of this film was better than the full scale Hollywood production of some of the Star War prequels in the Phantom Menace series.
It was also interesting seeing the training if a Sith as opposed to a Jedi. If your a SW fan this is definitely worth checking out!
Thanks, Kendall, we appreciate it!
Wow! Am VERY proud to have worked on the Conceptual Designs of the Sith, Jedi Costumes and Storyboards and working with the Director. But the cast and crew also did such a fantastic job!
Thank you Kendall for such a great compliment to the Director and his fine Manifest Crew ^_^.
I tend to agree. There are some amazing people doing great work.... who are not in Hollywood and (practically) editing from their desktop.
Kendall Williams thank you!
I agree but unfortunately, the same company that owns Mickey Mouse now owns Star Wars. Star Wars will never be as dark as it should be. There always be a bad guy, but the dark side of the force will never truly be shown because it would alienate 70% of its audience target.
The best fan made film I have seen so far, of any franchise type of fan film. Engaging story, amazing effects.
if there was like an oscar type thing for fan films this would be the best picture
Damn! Thank you :D There you go Anthony :).
- MAVIII (Conceptual/Storyboard Designer on the film)
And I like Pie too!
Star Wars is golfing for Donald Trump or not make American great again
Anthony Pietromonaco, this was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I love every minute of it. Please make other parts to this.
Great effort. I liked how you focus on two characters. Some interesting ideas were the Sith wielding non-red lightsabers and the Sith master being able to become one with the Force.
Andrew Lim Hey, funny finding you here, my fellow Quoran and Star wars fan! I am Diego.
So, did you ended up enjoying this one more than Threads of Destiny for one reason or another? I seem to recall an answer of yours from last year or so that said that was one of the few Star Wars fan films you have seen. So how does this one compares?
Power of the Darkside is strong with this one.
*Impressive.*
It was this moment I had to pause and clap for this. You understand all too well. This was a very in-depth and Masterful piece of info only few will understand. Now I will watch the rest.
The dark master is a combination of Darth Revan and Darth Bane🤯
Brilliant job and thank u!)
loving the hum and shimmer of the green saber
Disney needs to give this channel the budget. Awesome.
This was a damn good fan film! The quality, costuming, storyline, all of it came together well and gave a look at the Sith that isn't normally portrayed.
This was one of the best I've ever seen. Truly well made. Bravo!
This was mind-blowing. Among the very best of fan films! I applaud you!
Holy crap, this was a real gem, suuuper pumped I found this. I’ve watched a lot of the fan films, this is easily the best one. This wasn’t super corny or overdone, fantastic effects. Fantastic all around, you guys did a PHENOMENAL job, please please please keep this up, I’m expecting more!!! You’ve got yourself a fan out of me, thanks for making me smile for 11 minutes and 54 seconds
Awesome work! Beautiful design on the Sith Lord. Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you! :D I'm the Conceptual and Storyboard Designer on the Film! Mo Meinhart (Makeup/Special Effects),
Hannah Athena Lawton (Costumes) and Jaremy Aiello (Sculptures) did a fantastic job giving life to the designs me and the Director (Anthony) came up with :).
Thanks again!
- MAVIII
I'm just going through all my old liked videos and this is still one of my favourite fan films ever! Amazing work.
Absolutely fantastic! For a fanfilm this was brilliant, if you guys can pour the same heart and soul into any other content you create then you'll go far!
These fan fiction stories are getting better. I remember when the effects and swordfighting were cheesy to the extreme. This was good!
Mannn this is awesome! Love the effects and camera angles! Would be great if George took this and made a spin-off from the Star Wars serial, and concepts from the novels as well! *x2 thumbs up*
That was just F@@king awesome every part of it. The vfx, the special effects makeup, the way you developed the characters over the course of a single fight I just can not believe this is a fan film 1000/10
This short film is just Brilliant, Bravo!!
So far, that's the best of SW fan films. The colored mists from the clash of sabers are awesome!
Im pretty critical of fan films and this is by far one of the tops. I hope you guys do more
this was an amazing short film, one of the best out there.
That was gorgeous. Thank you!
Just stumbled on the many Star Wars fan films out there. I appreciate the effort it takes to make these, but quite honestly I felt the vast majority are pretty amateurish - except for this one, this was several levels above! Just wow!
You all did a wonderful job guys, Breathtaking figth and intense feeling around both Character !! luv it!
This 11 minute small fan film has the quality of a big budget Hollywood movie and is 1,000,000 times better than the entirety of The Last Jedi. You have accomplished something Kathleen Kennedy only dreams of being able to do. Congratulations you are a great creator and I hope you will get a chance to show that to Hollywood.
It’s 2022 and this fan film is still better than anything Disney has done
I absolutely love this film. It captures the creativity of the O.T. in that you're plunged right into the action without lengthy exposition and it begs hundreds of questions that get left to be addressed. That whole instant absorption and imagination leaves me wanting the rest of the movie where we find her name and story and all that. Keep writing! 🤩
Amazing content! Love the story, captures the rule of two so well! I'm planning one soon, also mainly sith focused, and this is a super cool inspiration! Keep it up!
There are few fan films that are actually good, with good choreography and intelligent and well-delivered dialog/monologue. This is one of them.
Wow ! That is quite impressive ! Thank you, I had a great time watching it ! The end even let think there could be a next one... 😛
Hollywood should be taking notes from you guys. This is amazing. I really think you guys should be able to write and produce the next star wars film in theaters
