People shouldn't judge independent films like they would the special Olympics, all movies must be held to the same standards. I watched about a half hour of this crap before becoming so angry that i couldn't continue.The actors were ugly and talentless and i couldn't identify or empathize with them at all. I don't care if you have a zero dollar budget, you find people who are believable and have some charisma and presence.The CG was on par with a PC game from 1996, so i don't know why everyone was raving about it.The direction was the second worst part of the movie (the first being the actors), i guess some people have no artistic vision. That in combination with the shi**y editing made it look like a horrible commercial of sorts.set design, costumes, and everything else just failed to resemble anything star wars.Fighting...what fighting? the actors seemed confused here. why are there so many ugly women pretending that they know how to even begin to fight.I am filled with much anger and disgust, and also filled with thoughts of genocide.

I saw other movies more bad, anyway for me it's just a cheap try to make a SF movie. Even first Star Wars movies are better. Actors are very ugly and they play like a bunch of kids. Talking about kids play, I remember when I saw "Alien VS Predator", I was very impressed about special effects but very bad impressed about actors. It's like I start myself to do a movie and instead professional actors I use the neighbors from my street. Special effects are good, nothing to comment but the rest???? I like so much SF movies and I don't want to be ruud but this one it's just crap... Am I wrong...... or it's just a parody........Cornel (Cat Best)

I'm trying real hard to judge this movie based on the fact that's it's fan-film and had virtually no budget, but it's tough.Impressive special effects, the story is OK i guess, and plenty of cool costumes. But trying to watch this movie amidst the horrible acting and dialogue is definitely a test of patience. If I were making a film like this, I wouldn't be in it - because I know i suck at acting. I would find some friend or family member who at least semi-decent and cast them. I'm sure the fame and fortune would be enough to make up for the non-existent salary ;) But seriously, I appreciate the film for what it is - but I can't give it more than 5/10 stars.....

Impressive!! With you budget, you definitely have the talent...It looked like you spent hundreds of thousands. I really hope G. Lucas recognizes your talents and recruits you all for more Star Wars installments; such as the upcoming TV series. I think there is a lot of story and fun out there between the 3 and 4 movies. For you all that watch "fan films" this one is perfect! Not even comparable to about 10 I have looked-not saying they are awful (ok some were), but yours looks like a true feature-in studio-experienced film. Please do another!!! I would have paid full price for this movie. I did share this with a buddy who is a Star Wars fanatic; even though he said it was unusual to have 2 evil figures looking for the emperor's favor; I thought it was well done-and not unthinkable. Now, I need to figure out how to put it on DVD... Thanks a million, Loyal fans of San Diego. LAJB
