It’s deeper than any fan fiction I’ve seen or read. Thank you SWT. You made my year.

[@Da1337Man]

The moment when Vader watches his younger self and padme, that shit nearly broke me. Even though it was obviously Vader on the screen, all i could see was Anakin begging to have his old life returned to him. The last time i legit cried while watching star wars was when i was a little kid. This 15 minute video is a goddamn masterpiece that rivals the OT itself.

[@hxdtl8317]

You're wrong Slick Silver... It's tru some of those points nut, you cannot mix the clone phase 2 soldiers from the republic with the imperial soldiers, like the Royal Guards... There is no sence and it's awfully done... Like the Republic Venator-class...

[@sernolstic4981]

Friedrich der Große royal guards and phase 2 clones were active at the same time. See episode 3. Venator class star destroyers were used until the common class of the empire replaced them all. This is only 8 months after the fall of the republic. Not enough time to create a whole fleet of star destroyers or completely replace clone troopers. Pay attention to the details and you will understand.

[@harryguidotti3815]

I like how Palpatine acknowledges that, although he is his Master, he and Vader are very much rivals. He knows that Anakin/Vader has more than enough ability to surpass him. He knows that if Vader were to snap out of his depression, there would be nothing stopping him from destroying Palpatine. So he deflects Vader's ire by enforcing his hate of Jedi. He keeps him occupied so he has no time to heal and realize his true enemy. I love it.

[@TheKcl125]

Harry Guidotti Vader still sees him as a friend lol he learns far too late that this isn’t the case now they are rivals master and slave one doing all in his power to keep that which he views as power the other is trying his best to recover his lost power and become whole once again in the force

[@FrakYourself]

Ok but, Anakin's power was so diminished with the amputation of his limbs together with his torturous suit and crippling depression means he would never be as powerful as he could have been. Probably still no match for Sidius

[@harryguidotti3815]

You underestimate his power!

[@thephantom8403]

Palpatine himself confirmed that Vader's physical injuries aren't what hinder his powers, but his psychological problems, and if he was to finally accept what he had done and own up to his mistakes, he'd regain his vast power as the Chosen One. This was proven to be true when Vader regained much of his confidence and became one of the most powerful Sith Lords in history, and he would have been twice the power of Palpatine had he snapped out of his depression. Even at his current state, someone said it was foolish of Palpatine not to fear Vader.

While Anakin doesn't realize the way of the Sith, Palpatine very much does, Sith masters and apprentices are true rivals everyone else training so that they may overcome their rival...

[@KreshDraven6]

​@@glitchyx6995The MCU is more successful cause they put a lot of time , money and real interest to do something right. Personally I don't like any MCU movie since the first Avengers, it became really generic, boring and sometimes absolutely garbage (Thor 3, Avengers 2, Captain Marvel) and what they did with Spider-Man it's a shame ! But as you said, it's extremely successful. But SW could follow the same path, they just need to put some passion that SW requires. People trash the prequels but ROTS had much more balls and emotions then all the movies that Disney did... They have an absolutely brilliant universe and histories to make with the Old Republic movies, they just need to put some passion, be bolder and try to do something a little bit darker and adult to have some amazing movies that the fans will really enjoy

It's a rare thing that Vader can be shown as both a complete badass, and a physically and emotionally broken man within the span of a few minutes. Masterfully done. Hell, even that little scene between Padme and Vader had more emotional weight and depth than their entire love story in the prequels. I actually BELIEVED these two people were in love for the first damned time. Well done, all of you. Everyone at Disney needs to watch this short film and learn how Star Wars should be done. I'd seriously put this up there with Irvin Kirschner's work. You put up a Kickstarter or Indiegogo or other crowd funding page, I'll be there to donate what I can. This series MUST continue.

[@IbrahimAli-jl8fu]

I agree with every word in your comment, but unfortunately, Lucasfilm and Disney have denied Star Wars Theory access to use any form of crowd funding directly regarding the fan film or else it will legally result in Copyright Infringement.

@BeastUpp yeah I know but this gives more force showing how truly mad Vader is. I mean, Vader is creepy because the way he gets mad in the movies is pretty much silent and brutal (and maybe with a tint of sarcasm) but if Vader gets mad like this it gives him more character (especially when he's mad about personal things) making him quite humane in certain circumstances. Pretty much reflects his more Anakin-ish nature.
