'Dark Force Rising' final chapter uploaded

Hi, all. I thought some of you may be interested in this. All feedback welcome! This doesn’t mean the whole project (Eps 1-3 mashup) is complete; I’ve gotta go back to a few earlier chapters to do finishing touches. But this particular chapter has been the most difficult.

I’d said earlier that my title would be Rise of the Empire, but since the EU material is no longer canon, I’m gonna steal Dark Force Rising from the Thrawn trilogy.

Kerr’s edit of Episode III is also called Dark Force Rising fyi.

Dang it! Well, these things aren’t exactly copyrighted. 😃

Tell you what, because of my disenchantment with Disney-SW, I’m gonna go back and read some EU books I hadn’t yet read, starting with the very first one: Eruption. I’ll re-read the Thrawn trilogy too, though I recall not being that enthused with it at the time. In the new canon I did just read Thrawn (origin story) though, and it was excellent.

Interesting ending. Not sure how I feel about the stock footage lava, and the footage from other movies, they don’t fit in very well, but it’s a very good idea, and the footage isn’t horrible.

Thanks for the feedback. I fully acknowledge that the added footage isn’t a perfect fit - I just didn’t want to keep recycling clips from ROTS itself. On the other hand maybe I should do exactly that.

Although I have to say: I quite like how the clips from Ewan McGregor’s Last Days in the Desert meshed with the Tatooine/Tusken material. 😃
