His mistake was not following through to chudan after yoko giri, exposing his rear. not very realistic for a sith apprentice taking his final test. Lord Rive only had to execute a simple tsuki as a final FU…lol
What the hell is up with the video description? It's not Palpatine, and we have no idea how long before episode I this takes place. It says Darth Oz right there in the credits, for crying out loud.
@shellatella -_- the credits clearly say 2001, also. It doesn't say anything about being events happening before The Phantom Menace, that's not Palpatine. It says Darth Oz, open your eyes. Anyway, thanks for uploading it though. It's a pretty remarkable SW Fan Film.
Was trying to remember the name of this for ages. Finally found it. It's still as awesome as when I first saw it. This is in fact better than the Ep. I-III combined.
I remember watching this back in '01 and thinking it was something that was actually produced by Lucasfilm. Now I see the CGI isn't THAT superbly polished but still looks pretty damn good even by today's standards. I wonder if the filmmakers went on to better things?
OMG i saw this when i was a little kid, i found it on the internet months and months before phantom menace came out, regardless of the flaws i still freaking love this video!
And i dont think at the very end.. a lightsaber cutting someones body in half would leave a wound that would bleed. My impression has always been, it cauterizes.
George Lucas made it so lightsabers cauterized after he released the first star wars movie which is now called A New Hope. During the Cantina scene in that movie two thugs harrass Luke which makes Ben have to use his lightsaber to cut off one of their arms. In that scene and that one alone the lightsaber made someone bleed.
George Lucas probably never did it again for his own reasons or parent complaints.
From what I've heard, yellow light sabers can only cut other light sabers if they have the right focusing crystal. Color shouldn't have any affect. I could be wrong though.
Did the film's producers say this guy was supposed to be Palpatine? My impression is that he's just another Sith lord trying to complete the hatching of a crazy sceme.
Silly boy, it's a fantasy. The lightsabres are fantasy. Of course they neighter cautaurise, mame or dismember.. Now how are you going to get ahead in your field without taking this in account?
Oh man, I remember watching this years ago. This is one of the few Star Wars fan-films out there that is actually good.
I guess I'll weigh in on the blood factor. Though it's true lightsabers would instantly cauterize any blood vessels it came into contact with, it's possible this wasn't a "clean" cut. If the blade didn't cut all the way through and the rest of the connecting tissue came apart on its own, it would be plausable to have a fair amount of bleeding.
if only there were more fights like this in the preqeuls, also the guy who got cut in half wouldent bleed cuz a lightsaber is so hot, it quarterizes the wound instantly
You clearly misunderstand more about cauterization than merely the spelling of the word. Just because some of the veins, arteries, and blood vessels are cauterized does not mean the entire internal guts and other structures lack blood and other fluids that would leak out from the gaping hole.
It doesn't work like those plastic bags your mom uses to seal in the freshness of last night's meal -- LOL! Think about it.
But you're right: the did need more fights like this in the prequels.
I was waiting for the song too, but cool. Didnt understand the yellow lightsabres or the lighting sith deal at the end, but again mad props. thats was fuckin good.
I know the guys that did the film, it was really cool, They are karate instructors here in goleta CA, Ones name is Dave macomber, I studied karate under him for a while, worked next door to his place for a while, its really awesome because they really do that stuff
at the end when one of the sith is cut in half, he starts to bleed... if you were to be cut by a light saber the wound would automatically be healed due the intesity of the heat generated by the light saber right?
the only other time ive seen a bloody wound from a light saber was in episode 4 when old ben cut that guys arm off in the cantina
This is still the best Starwars fan film i've ever seen and i havent really seen any others that can match this. Star Wars Revelations didnt even come close.
Oh man! I remember this one from years ago. Probably my favorite fan film of all time. I've been wanting to see this again for awhile now. Glad it's on youtube. Great job to all parties involved in making it, by the way. I know it's been awhile.
lol would have been better if you put a song in there with the cut scene but seriously that was awesome! nice effects and stuff that really must have pissed of the emperor them both dying lol! nice end =)
i saw this about two years ago, and haven't seeen it since. but i signed on to tfn's forums, and someone mentioned it to me. i remebered it and looked for it.
i was friends with a kid who was best buds with the guy who made this....he said they had to find some pros to do the fighting, and the kid had, i think it was....$250,000 in computer equipment (mind you this was several years ago)
I hate that fucking dude that shock those two, If i saw him on the streets I would have punched him so hard that his mother could feel it! (great video anyway)
George should have hired these guys!!!! Maybe they could have gotten Annikin and Obi-Wan to fight like that and maybe even directed Darth to cry out "NOOOO" with much more feeling and angst! I first saw this about 5 years ago on IFilms. Super awsome work that should put Lucasfilm to shame!!

No. Yellow lightsaber crystals were just rare during the time zone in the Galaxy the movies took place in.
