This was beautifully done. I love how the good one is taunted by the evil one and then for a second, he uses the red saber before letting it go. THIS IS REAL STAR WARS. The type Lucas intended. The choreo was amazing, the camera and sound was great, and the ending had me senttttt. Good job.

I did really enjoy this fan film! I do think that a sequal should be done. Now that his brother is dead, I feel it would be coolt further delve into the other character. He has killed his brother and I feel there is some regret o it. How does this character change? How does he develop? Will he follow in his brothers footsteps? Will he kill his father? I think this short film has a lot of potential! Keep going! Love your work.

54:46 That’s actually more accurate to story structure where you have act 1 taking up 25% of the runtime, act 2 taking up 50%, and then act 3 with the remaining 25%.
