Judge's Review:
"All the judges were really happy about your video; we thought it was your best on this competition so far. You were able to accomplish the task at the best and reach as well all the elements we were looking for. That's why you are also a favorite of this challenge! Congratulations! You used the fandom really well matching perfectly the essence of the fairytale. The song choice really fit and your editing didn't miss anything until the very end of the video. The use of text and clip selection were the best about your video. There are some interesting details we particularly loved, such as 1:04 when you show Anakin's real face under the monster mask. Everything was just placed perfectly. We really thought that the fandom that you chose to use for your fairytale was original because it is definitely not one most would immediately think of when relating to a fairytale. That being said, you really made it work to your advantage. Throughout the video, there was such tension between your beauty and beast and the way you bring the video to its breaking point at 1:27 with the newly uncursed Anakin and the "rewinding" of Anakin/Padme's relationship while he was still cursed, was truly well done."

Once upon a time
In a galaxy far, far away
There lived a young woman who was very beautiful and pure of heart.
There also lived a young Jedi who was full of rage and alone.
One day, a powerful enchantress found him.
She decided to punish him for his evil deeds.
She gave him a choice.
Find someone to love him
Or stay a monster forever.

Dedicated to my Mom, because she is the one who got me hooked on Beauty & The Beast and because I love her! ;) Also, a big thanks to Rinette for listening to me while I complained about this vid, and to my little brother who helped me remember where all of Vadar's best scenes were. Love you both ;)

Ah! Hehe here it is! I have finally finished it! I can't believe it's done, and that it came out how I imagined it XD YAY! I don't even know what to say about this challenge, other than that it was the best one yet. XD I have grown up on fairytales (love them SO much!) so to be able to create one was really fun for me. But I'm not gonna lie, I was *this* close to pulling my hair out in the beginning, just ask Rinette ;) But then, once I had gotten the initial dialogue in and had worked out how I was going to tell the story, everything seemed to fall into place.
I chose to mimic Beauty & the Beast because it is my all time favorite fairytale and also because it seemed to fit with Star Wars really well. Leave it to me to drag sci-fi into it somehow XD I wanted to make it darker because, to me, fairytales might seem innocent on the surface, but when you dig deeper they really are very dark and twisted tales. I went a little deeper into "Belle's" character in this too. I wanted to show the struggle she would have felt by realizing she was falling for...well, she's not quite sure what it is she's falling for. She sees a monster on the outside but she can really "see" the good inside of him.
Here are the points that I focused on:
-Padme (Belle)'s sweet innocence in the beginning.
-Anakin (The Prince) has some serious anger management issues.
-The Enchantress comes to Anakin and then punishes him by turning him into Darth Vadar.
-She gives him the choice to either find love or stay a monster forever.
-Vadar meets Padme.
-They get to know each other and gradually Padme begins to "see" the real Anakin.
-Vadar's turning point. Instead of giving into his anger, he stops himself.
-Padme's turning point. She realizes that she really does love him and that there is good in him.
-The "rewind" bit is going back through the story and showing that the whole time Padme was with Vadar she was seeing Anakin.
-The curse is lifted and the two "meet" for the first time.
-Anakin says sorry to the enchantress.
-They all live happily ever after.
Okay so yeah, that's about it. Sorry to make you read such a long description ;) Oh and be nice about my narrative, I told you, I was having waaaay too much fun with this ;P
Hope you all enjoy it! :D
Don't forget to leave me lots of LOVE ;D
Thanks for watching!

Nice video! I like both Beauty and the Beast and SW. It was a good idea to make Padme beauty, and Anakin the beast. They fit those roles well.

That was amazing! I've watched many fan-made videos of Star Wars but this one is by far the best. I love it how you've actually used scenes from the movie.
Just wondering, what did you use to make the video? I can't find any good computer programs that make videos anywhere.
