I don’t understand the hype over this fan film. I mean sure it looked cool, but there wasn’t much of a story. It was basically twenty minutes of highly choreographed fighting.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s cool in like a shut off your brain and watch some cool fight choreography and stunts way, but I don’t get why people are saying its like “the film we all wanted/deserved”. It’s just some dragged out fighting bookended by a sorta cool thing with the emperor for context. In that sense it didn’t really give us anything we didn’t see in the prequels already.
The only real difference between this and every other fan film showing over the top lightsaber choreography in a forest (idk why the hell every fan film has to take place in a forest setting) is that one of the guys is dressed like Darth Maul.

Once, again, I’m not saying it’s BAD. It accomplished what it wanted to very well, which is some kickass lightsaber fighting with some good looking camera work. I enjoyed it for sure. I’m just saying I’m not getting the overwhelming amount of hype is all.
