LEGO Star Wars: Bane of the Sith

[RomrotMechanikos]

hundreds of lightsabers clashing! awsome!

[TheSpedy21]

[SteeJee3360]

Nice movie

[Animateyourgame]

how did u do that palpatine-like voice? (even tho it wasn't him)

[CheeseNipProductions]

Dude i didn't know you played knights of the old republic.

[777Zachary777]

@SmeagolStudios you are fantastic... *virtual clap*

[thedeathstar24]

wht programs did u use

[MrCav88]

This book was awesome

[LegoPeoples37]

So awesome!

[rclemenkowff]

So Awesome!!! Or you gonna make an hole animation of this?

[sheepstudios1]

god your good

[magnaguard69]

WHEN IS IT COMING OUT

[WarnerBrikProduction]

WOAH! After watching the un-edited trailer, you can see how much work and time has gone into this. This is just amazing.

[tehrulez]

You are the most underrated stop motion artist on youtube.

This should be in theaters.

[111retroguy111]

only 75.000 views, you should have at least 10 times as much views 4 this video

[dudepersonvids]

@smeagolstudios cool! I currently have Carrara 5 Standard. I'd like to know how you did the terrain exactly (I already looked on your website, all it says is that it's a filter in Carrara or something). I experimented with making the terrain map pixelated and added a tiled stud pattern in Photoshop Elements, but it looked terrible. Did you do anything different?

[SmeagolStudios]

@dudepersonvids Most likely I did, though what you've described sounds about right. I worked with a high resolution map, also it's important to make sure that smoothing is not enabled on the terrain.

[dudepersonvids]

@SmeagolStudios So you don't remember what you did exactly? I'll have to figure it out one way or another, the terrain looks amazing in this video.

And yeah, I found out that without turning off the smoothing, the "studs" just turn into lumps.

I appreciate your reply and words of advice.

[dudepersonvids]

That was amazing! I haven't seen much use of LEGO CGI in brickfilms before. Did you do this with Carrara?

[SmeagolStudios]

@dudepersonvids Yeah the 3d work was done in Carrara.

[iiswatchingu]

u should work for Tt games O@O

[xxxjm5]

pretty good but keep seeing pictures of bane with a purple lightsaber he had a red one dont believe me look in the book when he gets his curved saber

[TheDynamite666666]

How do you get the light saber effects

[KuriballFTW6]

Now just waiting for Darth Bane's story to become an actual movie one day. Who wants to contribute? Write a letter to George Lucas himself.

[NukeSquirrel]

This is EPIC i read the books and really hope this is made into a movie, or at least a video game!!!!

[maldredsc4]

Simply hilarious.

@pokemonfan324 If the lord killed the apprentice then he had not trained the apprentice correctly

[crazylegoproductions]

Bioware crapped up the timeline, in episode 3 palpatine said the rise of the FIRST galactic empire, they call the sith in the game the empire too

[brighteyez2k]

Bioware did not, the first GALACTIC empire not SITH empire the sith never ruled the galaxy because of the jedi so it can't be a galactic empire for the sith ,palpatine on the other hand ruled the galaxy exept for a couple crummy rebels

[crazylegoproductions]

@brighteyez2k Listen! The Empire didn't rule the whole Galaxy either and the sith were a hell of a lot better thsn the empire, but im not in the mod for an argument so lets just drop it

[Lathox]

When someone askes me "Who is Darth Bane?". I always get a wide eyed reaction when I say "He's the reason why there's only two sith."

[Legostudiosplus]

Woah! This is better than your new stuff!

[smansam]

Whose The Guy With Long Hair And Mustache, And The Mandalorian?

[SmeagolStudios]

@smansam that's Kaan; the Mandalorian is nobody in particular, just a Mandalorian.

[elite0117]

what does darth malak say

[SmeagolStudios]

@elite0117 "The path of destruction which you have chosen can only lead to one end...suffering.  And in the end, as the darkness takes you, you will realize...you are nothing."

[InfernalTundraProduc]

@elite0117 Its supposed to be Revan, but he apparently couldnt create a mask.

[SmeagolStudios]

@InfernalTundraProduc No, it was Malak. I just took some liberties with the source material.

So sorry.

[99JediDrew]

his is plain amazing! Its awesome how you can stick as true to the actual thing as possible, and make little LEGO pieces so epic! Five stars. Great job!

[PS2Gamer3000]

you defenatlly got this from the book of dath bane...didn't you

[Revan279]

Great vid! good effects! 5 stars+++

[ghartsho]

Wow!

[musichome19685]

this is just awesome. Great animation :D 5***

[corusantdefender]

awesome !!!

[WRAPPINGDJ567]

OMG ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Although one thing, 1000 years before the rise of the Empire the Sith didn't actually rule the galaxy they were actually in a very very vicious and brutal war with the Jedi. At the time, both the Republic and Jedi AND the Sith and its Empire were in existence at the same time, fighting a 1000-year war (literally) for the control of the galaxy. Have you read the Darth Bane trilogy?

[XXXclonecommanderXXX]

"From now on there will be only two, a master to endore the power, and an apprentice to crave it" best line in star wars

[Madmonkeythegreat]

they need to make a lego version of lego kotor :D

[crazylegoproductions]

@Madmonkeythegreat Look for miloprice's lego KotOR series

[DBSstudios]

see my stop motions if you want

great job

[invaderHUNK]

Wow, lego epic video.

[ferrarienzo564]

i'll pay u $7 for the jango fett

[apauscata]

You are unbeliveble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[shocktrooper67]

very cool

[ShadowStormPictures]

im making a similar project that i have already put more time in than any of my other videos. i really cant wait for my finished project alon with youres! also im thinking of making the title be "the rise of the darkness", or maybe "the rise of the dark side", or even "the rise of the sith."

[crazylegoproductions]

@ShadowStormPictures Foreshadow the movie title, just call it the rise

[wanshuraim]

I hope they make a movie of Bane. I'll vote for Van diesel to be the Dark Lord

[happymaninthewoods]

Did you know that Vin Diesel did the voice of the Iron Ginat in the cartoon movie, Iron Giant!

[wanshuraim]

No dude. I didn't know that. *Smile*

[cgcfilms]

@wanshuraim If you are talking about Vin Diesel, I don't think I can picture him as the Sith'ari sorry.

[wanshuraim]

@cgcfilms Well... there's make-up.

[602BrickStudios]

That was incredibly well done! 5/5! What program do you use? I'd love to know how to do this. :D

[24m24m]

wow... you realy should reconsider making this into a full length film, its a great idea

[bluedragon170169]

Very nice very good

[RookieBrickfilms]

wow, i had no idea that you could hide, layer, and special FX something like the raw footage into this! nice job dude!

[mjfheasyrider]

WOOW how do you do it

[yoyowhiz]

awesome! but i think zannah has blond hair, not black.

[SmeagolStudios]

The only appearance of Zannah in the trailer is in the final shot, and that's just a silhouette. The woman pictured earlier in the trailer with black hair is Githany.

[2musketteers]

dude i have fxhome but i coun't make that good of animation like all my animations are choppy

[raicho20]

WOW! Really impressive! You really have the instincts of makeing films! Wiah i was as good!

[iamforlunch]

Is that the battle on Ruusan?

[SmeagolStudios]

Yes.

[iamforlunch]

Cool.

[ionrocket]

cool you know about it too! i still think the rule of too is ineffisent (spelling)

[josephemery]

that was wow cool the best bit was the jedi and siths attacking eachover lol

[sayesiot]

This IS SO Co0l!!!

[CodeLyokoismylife]

when the jedi and sith were charging it reminded me of a rave party, awesome trailer, if this was in theaters, i would pay to see it

[FandSproduction]

That was Amazing!

[penguinslayer117]

awesomeeeeee

[hunterkiller1440]

totally awesome!! great trailer

[Haloreconz]

wow 100/100 its a awesome vid

[bazooka565]

EPICNESS

[Legobuildmaster]

call vid.

[emeemeeme96]

best vid ever

[greenknight44]

dude, this would be an awesome movie. like, if you ever want to do a feature length project. this would be awesome.

[ob1benji1]

true. But Youtube would require multiple vids

[Bendy4skin]

worth it XD lol

[ob1benji1]

agreed. It would be alot of video editing, but I'd like to see it.

[CptReed]

thanks for using the right saber

[demidragonmovies]

Honkel! This is one of the best lego videos I have seen in my life! Exelent ligthing, flawless animation, Perfect voice acting, definetly a 10 out of 5.

[guitarherofan0]

they need 2 things for this book

-a 3D story kinda like they did with the Clone Wars

-and a game about it.

THAT WOULD BE SWEET, i think everyone should know about how the Sith went from thousands to just 2 per life!

"Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody the power, the other to crave it."

-Darth Bane, TRUE Dark Lord of the Sith

[WebbFox]

That was incredible, it would be sweet if someone did end up making the darth bane trilogy , maybe one day, that is awesome though, So so good. even though its just a "Trailer" it still brings the book to life

[pablofallenjedi]

1:16 my favorite. bane excepted his destiny and walk purposely into darkness.

[zamorak67509]

This is great you are one of my lego inspiration people! Oh and it would be soooo aewsome if you could make a Crimson Empire video! You know with Kir Kanos. That would be sweet.

[HillhouseAnimations]

cool...very cool...what software do you use for the CGI????

[d00n91]

i loved the book and i loved the trailer ! well done!! :D... i think that lucas should think about doing this story in 3D just like clone wars

[danxtur]

Very Good, but one thing: did the sith by that time rule the galaxy?

[SmeagolStudios]

In Kaan's time the New Sith Empire dominated a large portion of the galaxy, larger than any previous Sith Order, so I thought that it would be sufficient to say that they "ruled the galaxy."

[danxtur]

ok, I mean its not that tro. But all trailer overdo! so its ok

[terriotte]

what the hell was that

[geniusstarwars]

AWESOME. i subed.

[ultraprime501]

Can you do the Mandalorian war?

[NewSparkStudios]

nice trailer

[jshawn777]

DUDE!!how did u make this!!! its like it was really made for tv!! so realistic! but i dont get the trailer.seriously i dont get it is it a game?

[qwertyboyo]

[jshawn777]

[kennykyle133]

[dannyvanduyn]

[mrblastum]

[clonecommando62]

awesome is this based on the darth bane books?v if so i have to reed them nd i could make a lego movie even if u r not

[zaprese]

some good shit, if they made a real movie, GL should be kept as far away as possible

[pablofallenjedi]

i would love to see the movie!!!

[LimpLoser]

" Peace is a lie!!!!"

[almostinsane99]

Awesome trailer. Wish you'd make a whole movie.

[Zaku447]

Cool, when all the jedi and sith were charging each other, it reminded me of christmas

[coogo100]

i live in columbus but i go to billings wich is an hour away. and there is a library there. is huge. has three big shelves. the shelves are like 20 feet long! has like three platforms in each shelf. and also all those are filled and cramped with alotta starwars chapter books! i go there sometimes. i got both darth bane books there. and there is three hundred starwars books. they have like twenty copies of each starwars book

[Kalimdor671]

"Impressive, most impressive" "The force is strong with this one"

[gunist]

Make a movie but take out the Miners' hair because it states in the book that their hair falls out in the Cortosis mines because of the fumes coming from the Cortosis

[elite0117]

on 1:34 it sounds like dooko talking, please make a movie

[ChrisFromJersey]

i just recently finished the darth bane book and am starting the second one :D

[Freakof5FDP]

o lucky my library doesnt have the 2nd one :(

[ChrisFromJersey]

HOLY SHIT - that was awesome

[DarthSerul]

the best lego film !!

very good!

[astro600]

If they were making a live action film i'd have the Rock as Bane (Vin Diesel is too obvious), C.Z.J as Githany, Sean Bean as Kaan and Mickey Rourke as Hoth

[1nc0n]

Great job. Just wondering, what is the little theme that plays at the end, when Bane says, "From this day forward, there will only be two; a master to embody the power, and an apprentice to crave it."?

[SmeagolStudios]

I'm not quite sure...it's one of the tracks from the Episode 3 soundtrack.

[Kalimdor671]

i think its when Senator Bail Organa tries to see whats going on but the clones stop him i believe its that part

[spudster45]

My crappy fart movie got way more views than this. That's sad, you deserve much much more.

[noobykotorguy]

If you made the whole movie I would pay to watch it.

[noobykotorguy]

Epic.

[Guta1996]

When you launch?

[LEGODUDE800]

amazing u are the best

[gentlemouse009]

I read that by the end of 2009 Drew Karpyshyn will release a third book of Darth Bane. Can't wait!

[petergriffin53]

awesome make a movie of this dude

[ElectricKnite]

u should totaly make an entire movie of this

[coogo100]

yeah smeagle should...but i can help him i read both the books.

[coogo100]

hi evryone. i have read both path of destruction and rule of two.and i want to point out some mistakes in here. darth bane didnt battle lord kopecz or lord kaan. he battled sirak and kas'im though.and there were no bounty hunters at that time.and the ship looked like darth mauls ship but that is mistake also cause bane stole lord kopecz's ship called the vaclyn.and the holocron was sposed to be darth revans.he found freedon na's holocron in rule of two though. so nice video its cool keep it up.

[SmeagolStudios]

You're wrong on much of this. This trailer never shows Bane fighting Kopecz - it does show him dueling Kaan, which doesn't take place in the book, it is a liberty I took given their other conflicts. There are no bounty hunters in the trailer - they're Mandalorians, whose armor in Bane's time resembled Fett's.

[SmeagolStudios]

Also, the Valcyn looks similiar to Darth Maul's ship but it is the Valcyn. It's a very close recreation of the Valcyn from the comics, look it up for a picture if you want. Regarding the holocron in this video, that's Malak's ghost in the trailer, not a holocron. We never see who the holocron is.

[coogo100]

ok fine ur right about that but... in the path of destruction it describes the vaclyn as being a one man ship.... and in rule of two. cause he said zannah cant come with him.

[coogo100]

oh lol srry musta not read them as good as i htough lolol

anyways rule of two is me favorite one.

[SporeKing1234]

Dude this video was freakin awesome you need to make a full version of it. 5/5

[kitfistoyma]

PLEASE do the full version!!!

[DarthDrac0Ven0m]

this reely should have been full. but its not. but this is reely good

[jeremylehner]

upload in hd

[somegreb]

Please consider making a Rule of Two trailer:please???

[trentsteelflux]

please make a movie but dont make it a crappy cartoon!

[archmage5245]

man i loved those books!

[JasterRouge]

Please make a full movie of it. I will make a video in your honor!

[batmanfan281]

awsome darth bane is awsome

[teleman565]

You really should make a full movie. It would be youre best 1

[100anakin]

charikter

[KriimIanga]

Whoa, I finally got the full impact of Malak's brief monologue. When he dies in KOTOR 1, his last words were "And in the end, as the darkness takes me, I am nothing," or something like that. Nice little echo there!

[LLScenes]

Quick question: What did the guy say at 0:17 ?

[SmeagolStudios]

"Son, you're the bane of my existence."

[Hessey96]

dude can you at least tell the story line as a video because I don't know if this is a comic book or an actual book and cause Im thinking about making a live action fan film of this.

[SmeagolStudios]

Most of the story in this trailer is taken from the book "Bane: Path of Destruction," by Drew Karpyshyn.

[luigi0654]

it is awesome! y are you not making the movie it would be great!! and awesome effects

[drake1636]

AWESOME!!!!!!  is the glowing thing at 1:00 a sith holocron?

[SmeagolStudios]

Yes.

[Awesomeonomy]

Wow you edited it a lot! That's awesome the quality is incredible!

[Aiv4n]

b-e-a-utiful , a master piece

[pizzamovies]

HOLY CRAP at 1:59!!! Too bad this won't be a full movie because I would love to see that big fight at the end lol :D

[oncemorethesith]

how did u do the animation?

[Shukkoku]

this is really excellent

[arbiterproductions]

i would like to see that huge lighsaber battle at the end.

[gulavel]

NICE temple exterior!

This is, without a doubt, your best one!

[legojammin96]

This is the best vid ever.

[CommanderProd]

Lego kotor is sooooo great.

[bradhl]

you know drew Karphysin actually thinks this is quite good he told me

[Schandtaten]

this is cool i have read the book and it is one of the best star wars books ever!!

[AngelBoogie]

so cool

[Saminatorger]

if only this was gona be made into a full movie...

[bcaswelch]

omfg man out of all he vids i have seen this makes me feel like this is a trailer for a lego movie in theaters. this is just incredible i cant believe that someone can do this great piece of work. man if u got the time u have to make like a 10 part movie of this or something this is just incredible 100/100

[gungrave2012]

that was awsome u should make a movie

[legoship5000]

so cool

[agressionll]

Excellent, very few fan based trailers are as well edited as this, especially whilst using lego.

[legoman7777]

you should make the movie you would get so many views 15/5

[poopa911]

real mor fan made?
