10 years later, still a masterpiece
Thanks buddy. I still think the 4th one is the masterpiece, but at the time, this one was pretty awesome.
@@Skymarshal This is pure shit.
That was freakin' awesome. The choreography of those fights was great and it just goes to show why Star Wars is so awesome. It doesn't matter if your 20 years old or 50 years old, Star Wars is universal.
Unexpected ending. And it's interesting to see troopers (at least one of whom is a good shot) integrated into a lightsaber fight sequence.
Wow I remember when I was younger I used to watch this alot because I loved it so much 2020 anyone?
Me:)
Me:)
Me:)
Yep
Same :)
I watched this epic scene ever since I was 7
One of the best fan films of all time!! Great job
"My troopers have failed, I knew I shouldn't've sent them there without me."
Looks like the Sith shall rule no more Darth Vader.
My troopers have failed, I knew I shouldn't've sent them there without me. Просто чтобы скопировать.
Said every sith lord ever...
I know ur weakness Vader SAND
That sith took that jedi out un honourable
Amazingly done, Im actually at a loss of words. Good job...help keeping the force alive.
Best comment ever. Thanks man!
Skymarshal You already said "Best comment ever." Not cool, bro.
Mr. Mathemagician
Hmm.. I did. I'll change it to "Best Comment Ever (at the time)**"
this is my favorite lightsaber video on youtube by far
Jesus Christ on a bike! 500,000 views! I can't believe that!
FYI - Possible new Jedi Short Film in the works. Got a new MUCH better camera too.
Hoping for better choreography in the new one. A little more hardcore.
We plan for it to be done before the New Star wars movie comes out at Christmas. Fingers crossed.
***** I dont think Hans Zimmer sings....
*****
What the heck are you two even talking about? What lyrics? There was no song lyrics in this movie.
And if you meant dialogue or narration being copied from Batman Begins, I assure you, they have nothing to do with each other.
*****
Apology accepted!
But if you try using some punctation and stuff, it might help a lot.
The music is from The Dark Knight, not Batman Begins though. The tracks are listed in the description.
This is very similar to Episod I battle between Qui gon Jinn with young Obi Van Kenobi vs Darth Maul. This old man was Qui Gon and u were Darth Maul am I right? :D
Skymarshal uj
A Nice mix of trooper and Jedi/sith action and you weren't afraid to be visceral! I love it. Great work.
amazing practical and special effects. Fantastic costumes. the dark knight theme is a nice touch.
This deserves way more views! This was awesome! 🤩
More views? I mean, it's almost at 3 million! Which... if you told me it would get that many when I made it 12 years ago hahaha, it would have blown my mind.
I think the sequel we made (linked in the description) is way better and deserves more views. haha.
This is the best fan film ever made in my opinion! And 2.9 million views is a lot but this deserves way more like 100 million!
@@ETDebates Haha Thanks.
I will give a lot of credit to the Dark Knight soundtrack. It elevates it for sure. But it did take about 1 full year to make from planning to finish the effects.
@@evanwakelin7944 I just watched your sequel to this and I can 100% say it’s better than the real StarWars sequels! Good job 👍
@@ETDebates Haha. Yeah... well, a much nicer camera, and all the props, locations and costumes were on a higher level. That one can't even crack a million though haha. Thanks again, man. Glad people still like these. I haven't watched them in a long time.
LOL - I love these fan recreations
Been 12 years since it was uploaded and still is way better than any of the duels from any of the sequel trilogy.
Damn I'm old... haha.
I still prefer our sequel, but this was definitely one of the best things I ever made.
lightsaber combat is well coordinated and fast paced and very clean. awesome work I loved it.
I can't believe the people who bother to make their negative comments or "critiques" from the couch. it was just awesome. there were so many good original ideas on use of force and lightsaber fans. trust me, the star wars nuts just creamed a little. I clicked the button back a few times to watch something again, that speaks for itself.
I'm pretty sure controlling someone's mind to kill their partner and themselves is the dark side of the force and not very Jedi. xD
self defense of never the dark side unless you take it too far for example, mutilating
That made no sense.
The Inquisitor I mean, it's okay to use brutal tactics to kill someone so long as you take no joy in it and you don't overkill.
Not really, he wasn't really in danger at all. There were about 2 stormtroopers, something a Jedi should be able to handle with ease. He chose the dark side as his first option, over a simple slash of the saber or a deflect of his blaster. This isn't realistic to the Jedi way whatsoever, this was just some guys imagination of how many cool things he can do with the force. They shouldn't have called then Jedi because he basically wasn't one at all.
+Negan Considering how he's basically one of two Jedis, and some Sith was sent after him that was sent by the Empire, desperate times may have called for desperate measures and he may have resorted to a less-Jedi-like way of using the Force, and more of just a neutral-aligned Force-user. Mind you, still on the "good-guy" side of the whole Star Wars thing, but in terms of Force usage, neutral.
Besides, his lightsaber blade technique was more brutal too. He needlessly split the Sith in half from the torso to the head XD if my memory serves right, that isn't in any lightsaber combat technique to dismember someone like that. While not really as much of a problem as Dark Side Force usage, something I noticed =P
Gosh I feel like a nerd LOL
11 years later and it's still amazing.🙂
Thanks for the input man.
Technically, the gun was force pulled from his hand, which was still gripping the gun. Which is why the hand is pulled up with it, until the force PULLS it from his grasp.
There will never be anything that has not unfounded criticism on the Internet. Congratulations, great video and imagine how hard it was to record it and edit it.
Great stuff! That's another awesome lightsaber duel added to my collection.
Very Good Work, Guys ;) I loved it
"Hey, that's pretty good..."
damn your lead jedi is playing pretty close to the darkside with his fighting style its brutal. lol love it
I like how you can just see it in the Sith's eyes that he's insane, especially at 4:15.
All I can say is you guys did it. Amazing short that's better than the prequels.
Best comment, ever!
A Sith killing a granpa Jedi is always sad. :(
Great video btw
The voice over totally threw me off at the beginning haha I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!! Well worth the wait! And your makeup looked very nice, Evan. :)
Very nicely done (:
Thanks a lot!
Skymarshal AMAZING JOB! Can You make a tutorial on how to do cinematic shots as shown in this? Such as proper cutting techniques, when to cut to another shot, etc? Every shot meshes together so well
The Omega Agents HD
Hey Omega,
Not sure how to reply to this exactly.
This video i by no means a masterpiece of editing. However, I did edit it over a period of 3 months (including shooting extras and putting in all of the VFX and SFX). So there was lots and lots of tweaking.
I spent 4.5 years in film school. Which I can tell you, was not worth all of the tuition. However, it did put pressure on you to make things and scrutinize every detail of them.
But the best way to learn how to shoot a sequence and how to edit it together properly, is just to practice.
After you do it crappy enough times, you realize how to not make the same mistakes.
It also helps to storyboard the shit out of your scenes before you shoot. I had this storyboarded 6 months before I shot it. You should be able to tell while looking at the boards, if the shots will cut together.
You can do some quick reading online I'm sure about basic editing and shot composition. Avoid Jump cuts, crossing the axis and bad lighting. (I hate lighting, and thus, that's why I love shooting outside).
We actually filmed some of this movie in Mid summer, and some early spring (When the leaves hadn't grown in yet). There is a HUGE contrast in the look of the environment... however, with some decent colour correcting, and editing, you barely notice it.
~Skymarsh
I like that you used The Dark Knight music
Thanks. I was listening to the soundtrack when I thought the whole short movie up.
so many youtubers are fame and getting so much money for doing nothing. This video was 1000000x better than every mainstream yt video.
Very nice!!!! Very exciting
Wow. Never saw this comment before. Thanks man. I hope/assume you saw our new one, right?
Skymarshal yes 👌🏻
After killing Darth Siege the Jedi Padawan falls to his knees, thinking to himself,
"They'll know at the Jedi Temple that I used Aggression to kill Siege. But even if
they decide to banish me... I will still forgive them. And deep down, the Jedi are
still my Allies. I'll never think badly about them."
Damn, thats cool
That final kill tho!!
Recommended by youtube 8 years later 🔥
Damn. They should be recommending the sequel. haha
@@Skymarshal I remember watching this when I was back in middle school. It was a good blast from the past haha
I know why the clones were shooting the jedi, it must have been during the Jedi Purge
That was because at the start he was talking about the empire
This must take place after order 66 because he's talking about the empire and we see a star destroyer
Good soldiers follow orders.
9 years later, and still besting modern Star wars duels.
That's another sub, you guys deserve it. Keep up the great work!
Excellent work, very impressive. Nice camera work, very well done.
Supreme FX skills man, very fun to watch, nice story, if I could call it like that, I would love to see more of your work !
Thanks for the awesome feedback!
In my channel, I'd Recommend 'EVIL Exists' and "The Death Duel 2'.
I will give them a look, you got my subscribe man, keep up the good work.
This video is awesome! I loved the effects!
Wow, thanks for the feedback.
Sheesh, 100 subscribers... I should really make more videos...
That was pretty bad ass. If you ever want to make one where you fight a talking microwave, give us a holler.
Awesome vid dudes, great work :)
best lightsaber video i have ever watched
Thanks so much man!
and i have watched many many lightsaber vids yours is still the best
Skymarshal can you plz make more like this
Goddamn! 800,000 views. I never thought anything I ever made could be seen by so many people.
This really pushed me to make something much greater, more epic and far better than this one.
Guys, check out the newest trailer on the channel. The new film is going to blow this one away. I can't wait until it's done.
Thanks!
+Skymarshal I like this video :)
popokaka
Two jedi vs one sith? Wow...
Ey awesome video man really loved it !What software did you use for editing realistic lightsaber into the video?
+EchosMoon
I used an old out of date program they don't make anymore (for Mac) apparently. It's called FX Home.
However, I've heard you can use 'Adobe After Effects' to get pretty much the same effect.
for something made at home..without any major funding..this is amazing..i will watch more bro:)
The best duel that I have seen
This was quite good.
Dude u look like Andrew Garfield!
FAZ3DGaming - GAMES, REMIXES 'n' MORE! lol a lot of these comments are popping up for some reason. Unless...its actually true?
lol cool, cool
The with looks like Tom Holland the new spiderman
The fight sequences are fantastic. I normally don't watch amateur productions but this is great.
Very creative work keep up
Thanks a lot man.
We're finally working on something again... just a small project in October.
That was pretty good guys. Wonderful!!
This was very well done. I'm actually pretty surprised. Not like Michael Bays explosions Hollywood style, but you made it so that it was pretty freaking awesome. Especially the light saber.
Oh damn. 1,000,000 VIEWS? Are you nuts?
Guys, a NEW, much BETTER film is coming out before the end of February. It's going to make this look like trash I hope.
Subscribe if you want to see future updates and trailers, and check out all the latest trailers on my channel. More to come soon!
Thanks!
+Skymarshal You say that for a long time and have not done anything xD I hope either way
+Bonnie old
The new movie is going to be done is less than a month.
Unfortunately Rotoscoping takes hours and hours for just a few seconds on screen. That's why it takes so long.
Thank you understand xD Well Luck
new sub
and congratulations!!!
excelent work. And the finest "plot" I've seen in a ligtsaber short.
Guys! Why are people still watching THIS video?
the new, MUCH better video is out! Link in the description!
Thanks!
I just really like watching your Star Wars videos, they really impress me!
Also, if you use Toy Light sabers to film, they've got new light sabers: Ezra Bridger, Kylo Ren, etc.
Anyways, good work!
Thanks. But we built our own lightsabers out of aluminum lacrosse sticks (the only thing that could withstand the constant hitting) and plumbing parts from the hardware store.
Oh, that makes sense there! Thanks!
états d’anxiété, de mal-être, de dépression et de stres
Skymarshal we just want to see the original, see where it started, ya know?
Best star wars short film ever
+Daniel Adetuwo
Thanks buddy!
But it won't be for long. Our new one is coming out in a month or so. It's far better than this one.
+Skymarshal yesssss I love the battles and the storyline
Well done, keep making vids there is potential here =)
+Chris Begley
Hey, thanks.
Check out the latest trailer for the new one, if you haven't yet. It's ALL potential. lol.
AMAZING EDITING AND INTENSE BATTLE!!!! I loved it!! Please make more of these!
+Drew Jackson Thanks man!
Did you check out the new trailer on my channel for the new one?
3:40 That was something I wanted to see from the start I watched Star Wars!
They did that in the last Jedi. I guess they stole it from this video. lol
Look, Andrew Garfield is a Jedi now.
That's cute, after the Spider sadness... xD
I also think my brother looks like A.G. :D
A Little Late But Out Of All The Lightsaber Fight This Is Gotta be my favorite Your Awesome!!!
They made one before this which was pretty good too, called "The Death Duel Part 2".... if you're interested.
Nk
hahaha that was almost better than the fighting on the latest SW movies, very creative, love it.
You guys are epic!
That was a sweet battle I loved it and hears where my Star Wars nerdy side kicks in because I loved this
this was epic to watch love it guys awesome can't wait for your next film
+Benjamin Valladares
Thanks so much.
The new movie is out right now though, man! :)
Where can I link up to watch or what's it called so I can watch
Just click on my channel.
Or, there's a link popup posted right at the beginning of this video.
Or search Final Lightsaber Battle 2
Wow someone finally actually got it right the good guys are supposed to win & great stellar action; this one of the best fanmade StarWars films I've seen in a long time
Actually, given the really small group of folks who worked on this, it is pretty awesome man. About how long did it take you guys to make an episode?
Wow, the video was the epic of the epic, both the plot and the battle, cheers.
2:23
Head: Time to abandon ship
Haha. "BYEEEE!"
this was amazing very good job i loved it!
Thanks! Awesome!
That was done REALLY well, congrats dude :D
That was a awesome video I enjoyed it very much keep up the good work!
This is best war in star wars
That was so cool! good job
Wow Haha 😂 this is extremely amazing!! You did great making this awesome video!!! XD
Good job
Great job guys!!! Every great film hasflaws and I know you can improve, but next time the hand to hand combat could go by quicker. Any how great job keep the good work up.
This is the best channel on RUclips.
It was alright. Lightsabers seemed a bit to short. seemed like the what they were wearing were adult size halloween costumes.. nice thing you did with using the force to pick up a gun, using the force to drive clones to suicide. Rarely see that kinda thing in star wars. 8/10
1. YOUR lightsaber is too short. (oh snap)
2. They are adult sized costumes. They are clothes used in a movie (Costumes), and we are adults.... so...
3. Thanks! Using the force to kill bad guys is awesome.
It gives a darker view on how Star Wars probably should be. If you are an all powerful Jedi and are going to kill the troopers/other jedi anyways. You would use more means than just your lightsaber. The movies are hardcore tuned down to kids (especially the newer ones) and are in no way how the force should actually be used. When they talk about the force they talk about it being all powerful, yet in a jedi battle the lightsaber is too much relied on in the movies. Why block a blaster when you can crush the trooper's heart that is shooting at you. Either way you are killing them, one is just more hollywoodized and more childish for the younger audiences. Now I'm not saying a "light" jedi should go dark, but if you are driver to the point that you're going to kill someone then you had better have more ideas than slicing and dicing because realistically you wouldn't last very long. (sorry that ended up being super drawn out)
I couldn't stop watching, good job!
wow **clap slowly** just wow
I find it funny how it's always the Master who is killed, then the apprentice avenges his fallen Master by slaying the dark-sider.
Wow just wow
The effects are perfect. It's just the acting.
The dark trooper is legit. But late clone wars stormtroopers using B1 battledroid blasters? (Forgot the blasters name)
+lars 7500
Not their faults man. The empire has really been slackin' on the military budget. Apparently they've been sinking all their money into some sort of 'planet destroying' death ray. Yeah, like that's even remotely plausible. Talk about a goddamn money pit.
Skymarshal Not hating.. well kinda. The Empire did use B1 battledroids after the clone wars though.
+lars 7500
It's all good. I was just making a joke.
Hopefully the new Movie coming out tomorrow will have less... inaccuracies.
Skymarshal Yeh, I realized the joke. I really enjoyed the video though, keep up the good work!
bro it was
Dark Knight music was nice touch
I just noticed they are using a Nerf Longshot at the beginning.
Awesome job guys - I love how you got a bit innovative with martial arts and Jedi moves :)
love the villain!
Well done, guys..... I really enjoyed it dude......AWESOME!!
Awesome! But i just dont understand... at 1:27, why didnt he just kill him! Plus his master wouldnt have died!
Not the Jedi way
+DeadandPaid1996 But why did the trooper shot his sword instead the jedi
+DeadandPaid1996 but he fucking killed loads of other people like fatality wise
That would make this video's length much shorter
Jazzistandersful it's a lightsaber
This was pretty good, Make more please, forger the haters bro, this was amazing
What did you use for the lightsabers to glow up and make sound effects
Great video it's a lot better quality than others
+denver Smith
Thanks. I agree. Although the new one is gonna make this look like crap.
coo
jay love nya l
