    Surprisingly great!

    For a fan film, this hugely exceeded my expectations. I would pay to see a full-length film version of this in the cinema!

    Best Star Wars Fan Film

    Most star wars fan film is mostly just a long lightsaber action scene that dosen't really capture the star wars feeling. This is diffrent. The understanding of the character that Vader is amazing. The atmosphere is amazing and it's a good star wars film

    Perfect film for Vader

    This film shows the struggle of Vader and the plot is really good. Casting is on point and the CGI in this film is excellent. Can't wait for further episodes!

    Amazing with potential for greatness

    This beginning episode gave me chills and the inside story of Vader the silver screen has never seen. The potential drips out of this episode and most definitely needs to be followed up with another.

    An amazing film

    Excellent production and interesting period within the Star Wars franchise. Definitely deserves sponsorship. A lost opportunity to capitalize on such a great film.
