This is the first FULLY animated version of the “Duel of the Fates” script originally written by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly for Episode 9.

For those of you who don’t want to read that script and have to imagine everything, “Duel of the Fates: Toybox Edition” was made for you!

Duel of the Fates: Toybox wass an adaptation of this leaked screenplay for Star Wars Episode IX. This early script, called “Duel of the Fates”, was written before the project was handed over to JJ Abrams. This early draft addresses many plot points considered controversial or overlooked in the final Episode IX: “Rise of Skywalker” film.

I really enjoyed reading this script when it was first leaked and acting it out with my family, but quickly realized that many fans simply don’t enjoy reading scripts. So, I decided to make a movie out of this screenplay using action figures as my actors, and my own minimalist backyard special effects and garage sets.

Bringing all of the toys to life would not have been possible without the help of many talented people including family, friends, voice actors, a composer, a TV director, a cinematographer, and other talented folks.

The file below is an updated version: “Duel of the Fates-Toybox Edition”. It contains improved audio, with music from the entire Star Wars saga, as well as a number of other audio upgrades including, new sound effects, improved levels, EQ and stereo balance, and has been fully mastered by the talented James Shields.

There are also a few visual and editing tweaks. Most notably, the visuals are now available in high definition.

Disclaimer: This non-profit unofficial fan film is not intended for commercial use. It was made solely for fun. Most Characters are owned by Lucasfilm/Disney and this fan film is not connected in any way to said companies.

I’ve only seen the first 5 minutes but that is a fun watch so far! Clever and imaginative too.

The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Well done! Whilst I am not a fan of the sequels, it’s still cool to see the passion of the fans and the projects they come up with.
I remember a time when lucasfiln celebrated fanfilms… now it’s all so dull and corporate.
