novica83 Now this is a Fanmade movie! It has excellent story and magical FX. Screenplay, director and actors are amateurs, but this is a Fanmade. A budget of 6000 $ only!!!! Are you kidding me!? Disregards reviews and ratings! if you are a true SW fan, you must watch this film. If I was a producer in Disney this story I would use for next trilogy. Film has it's shortcomings, but when you consider that it has been made by fans, it is awesome. Add another million $ in the budget and you will have a blockbuster! Just another proof that big producing companies don't takes fans too serious.

Marcel Spainghaus This review will contain some spoilers, but they won't ruin the movie for you (the movie itself does a good job with that). Even though my opinion is very negative, I don't mean to insult or badmouth it in any way, I just write what I think in a pretty straight forward way.Writing this review is a hard thing to do without "profanities or spiteful remarks" as the guidelines say. I mean ... fencing? Really? As in rapiers, not light sabers or lore friendly vibroblades. When it comes to the lore, as my review summary already stated: I was disappointed. I'm not the biggest star wars geek in the world, but the screenplay completely disregards rules that Jedi have. For example "don't fall in love", which the Padawan's Master completely ignored (and seemingly embraced) as the princess flirted with his apprentice.Something really annoying that also broke the immersion for me was the atrocious acting. Okay. I'll cut them some slag, as this is a fan movie, but oh my, I haven't even seen such bad acting in any Sandler movie. The accents aren't that bad either, but come on, they should at least know how to say "Jedi" correctly.The screenplay was simply bad. Cut away the occasional philosophy that's meant to add depth to the conversations and everything the actors say becomes completely uninteresting. Scenes that should take a second were dragged on for 15-20 seconds to make the movie look longer, effectively just making it more boring.What really killed the movie for me though was the way it was recorded. Blurry backgrounds in nearly every scene, terrible CGI with cut scenes being completely blurry, ships behaving differently than they would in the original Saga. Scenes where faces, the background or objects were completely black. Oh and the costumes. The costumes were something unexpected. Obviously not in a good way. I have seen pornographic star wars movies with better costumes. Similar and probably even better acting too. I honestly thought that some scenes were cliché intros to porn. (I did "research").Tl;DrThis movie is bad. From the screenplay, to the immersion, over the acting, the CGI effects. Everything was just bad, to the point where it motivated me to write a review, after seeing how many "This movie is AWESOME" reviews there are. I recommend it if you're drunk with friends and want to have a laugh or have troubles falling asleep.

grafxman First the good news. The storyline is excellent. The music is excellent. The outer space shots are excellent. The chicks are gorgeous Swedes. Unfortunately there is only one good actor in the flick. That's the guy who plays the Sith Lord. I suppose playing a bad guy does a give an actor more meat to chew on. The guys playing Jedi both had the most annoying habit I have ever seen in a film. They walk about in nearly every scene with their hands clasp together in front of them. They appear as if they're covering or supporting their dangly bits. Someone should have yelled HANDS at them every time they did it. I can't think of habit I've seen an actor have in a film that was more irritating. These folks are stoic Swedes acting in this film so they have little energy or charisma. It's not their fault. That's just the way they are. If another movie gets made by the same crew I would recommend requiring the male actors to shave daily. Having a few days of beard on the face of every male that's old enough to grow a beard is not becoming. If you ever use that king again, get him a crown. He might clean up nicely with a shave and a crown.From there I'm afraid things get a little worse. As a photographer I was constantly annoyed by the lighting and cinematography. For some reason the light was constantly spilling over into the scene around the edges. Nearly every scene had haze and smoke and fog for no apparent purpose. That constant light spilling in from the edges coupled with the particles of fog and smoke or whatever it was made many scenes blurry which is to say pretty awful. Many scenes appeared to have been shot through glass that had reflections on it's surface.Still, when all is said and done, I enjoyed the movie. It was apparently the herculean efforts of one guy and a few other people. They are to be commended for the efforts. I hope they make another film and get better acting, lighting and cinematography.

p-hallbus The story is not bad at all, even better then some Hollywood counterparts, and the SFX is REALLY good for a fan movie. The acting on the other hand is often painful to watch. I'm Swedish and I still wish the actors did not have that much accent, for me the swenglish kind of ruins it a bit more, so many Swedish people speak really good English but not most of the main actors of this movie. I can tell that a lot of work has gone into making to this movie and if you are a fan it is still well worth a watch. The princess is much prettier the Leia ever was. Read that this movie was shot with ordinary DV cameras, and with that in mind it is not a great HD film but not as bad as you might think.
