VADER EPISODE 1: SHARDS OF THE PAST - REACTION!!

Star Wars Theory made a video right after the one saying how Warner Chappel claimed his video that LucasFilm intervened and told Warner to knock it off. So He's free to keep making these videos but he needs drastically more funds to make Ep 2.

[@victurehighbaugh8282]

Just imagine if they made a dark Vader film instead of han solo it would probably made more money

[@deborahlepage1789]

Not allowed technically to "crowd-fund" but if he tells us just how much it will cost and that he will do it when his finances allow, we're free to donate to his Patron account all we want because by definition we are his Patrons. We just haven't told him he'll stay on that stand and paint the chapel until we say otherwise. We are is Patrons and without commissioning a project, we are donating as the artist muses he needs supplies. Just tell us. Would that be distanced enough? Say 10 bucks per viewing, put it on his Patron...maybe...

[@planetmuskvlog3047]

He said it may feel weird, but in Ep2 it will have to be all original music with no call backs to John Williams’ themes.

[@TheLightSideReactions]

Great cliffhanger. Be sure to support SWTheory by viewing and liking his videos so he can make chapter 2 and we can see Mace Windu back in action.

the 501st are yes a charity group approved by Lucas Film(i was apart of them) but they are also Vader/Anakin's clones who have been in the series sense ep 3 and clone wars animated show

[@upfrontbuckle04]

But, Star Wars Theory hired a new composer, so while it sounds like the original score, it's technically a parody. And he contacted Disney and they said if he didn't monetize it, he wouldn't have any trouble with them. That's why he was mad, because they broke their word.

[@reinoldi1097]

[@SebasTian58323]

Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.'

[@bighorn6964]

Ironic

[@rapliberationarmy089]

There‘s a book called "Dark Lord" that has a pretty good explanation for why Vader did not kill the emperor. He said he needed him to become more powerful. For some time. Just like Palpatine needed his master plagueis until he had taught him everything and then murdered him.

He used his original music, he got composers to do renditions of the music, but Warner Chapel found the music too reminiscent of the original music so they put a claim on it. But after many videos made by several people against the actions of Warner, Lucasfilm stepped in due to the fact that Warner Chapel was stepping out of place against Lucasfilm's agreement with Star Wars Theory (he could make the film if he didn't crowd fund or monitize, and give credit where it is due); and commanded Warner Chapel to remove the claim, and they did.

[@juan-qx8kz]

really good reaction, i liked that you gave alot of insight to it, and not just rambled about the action scenes , i love to see channels that have knowledge of what they're watching, muy buen video!

[@KanekiKen-fc3qo]

No offence to these guys but they don't really know what they're talking about. First of all, they don't know that the 501st was a battalion in the movies long before the fans made a cosplay group and they seem to think the new movies respect the past movies when it's the opposite. They also don't seem to understand why Vader didn't attempt to kill sidious and etc. Point is, they're cool reactors but seriously lacking on SW knowledge.

[@ethanbowman2376]

The 501st was Anakin's Skywalker clone army in the clone wars

[@deborahlepage1789]

This is canon for me. And foreshadowing of Emo-Ren As to a theory as to why Vader makes no attempt to kill the Emperor. There's no reason too. His wife and unborn child are gone Investor $150, 000 of his own money. He wasn't allowed to crowdfund and he's not allowed to make money from it And the music was music he paid a composer to write, asking that the music be inspired by the composer from the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy. Just notes Star Wars Theory has shared and you may not have heard. Thanks for sharing guys, it's nice to have a group of fellow fans "in the theatre."

[@sergiodelgadinho]

15:04 That's not why Vader wouldn't kill Sidious :/ He wouldn't kill him bc he couldn't! Didn't you see the Force vision giving clairvoyance to Vader? Sidious would use illusions ("the dark side clouds everything" it's deceptive) so Vader would never realy be able to strike him, for not yet being able to see through the illusions (like SIdious did with the whole Padme thing, some sharinggan stuff) So Vader wouldn't kill Sidious bc Sidious was much stronger. Not because of politics.... At the end of episode 6 Vader killed him bc he was distracted and overconfident while making Luke look like a light bulb.

[@martyvenkman860]

He didn't kill Sidious because he is the only person he has left in his life. Sidious was a father like figure he never had and everyone he knew was dead, how could he kill him. He killed him in RotJ because of Luke, his son.

[@sergiodelgadinho]

@@martyvenkman860 Father figure? No, just, no. Anakin had Obi-Wan as a brother and didn't feel the need for a father figure. He hated Sidious and didn't kill him because Sidious was more powerful. You see the things Vader says to Sidious? He hates the guy. Doesn't see him as a father figure jeez....

Regarding the whole "incident" with Warner Chappell, he actually hired a composer to do the score, based on John Williams theme because he knew this would happen. The reason he got upset is because he made a deal with Lucasfilm and Warner Chappell said screw it. At the end of the day Disney saved him since Lucasfilm came in and told Warner Chappell to disregard their claim. At least thats the last I heard.

The Disney & Warner issues have been fixed. The claim was removed as directed by Lucasfilm. Star Wars Theory did NOT use any music from John Williams.

Guys, SW Theory hired a composer and made original music based on John Williams’ themes. He cleared it with Lucasfilm ahead of release and followed their rules for fan films to a T... that moment in the film that has what sounds like the Imperial march for one moment when Vader chokes out Palpatine... sounded too much like the original according to Warner Chapell. Had they not walked it back this would have cause a full on fan backlash that would make the current Last Jedi backlash seem weak. This film is the best Star Wars fans like me have experienced since George Lucas was running things.

[@Tha_Plagued]

7:35 is it me or did Vader’s eye turn blue?

[@F1rstWorldNomaD]

Fans weren't pissed that Luke *could* use force projection, they were pissed cuz : 1) it made no sense since he just died anyway, he could as well have been there himself and we wouldve gotten an actual fight between him and Kylo. 2)Had Kylo won that fight or even if they went to a draw and Luke then died from exhausting himself wouldve helped to build Kylo some much needed imposing character, he already lost to Rey *twice* and was saved by her atleast once, a random girl with no lineage, basically no training whatsoever and who've known about the force for a week... Kylo is about as threatening as a damp towel at this point. Fighting the *real* Luke Skywalker, even to a draw wouldve re-established him as somewhat of a threat. 3) Its so god damn anticlimactic 4) having one of the most beloved characters through all time rot away on a stone in the sunset as a faliure and a coward is not a worthy end to such a character.

[@MandatoryFruit]

James G You were right, but not even the Skywalker’s were as powerful as her starting out. Which is why people called out her bullshit OP-ness. Regardless it’s over now, no sense continuing to think about it.

Used to be in their Facebook community, and was told “my negativity wasn’t needed” when I confronted one of the admin’s pals who was threatening physical violence against people who are not a fan of the new trilogy.
