When the Galactic Empire falls, an old Sith Empire emerges and appoints Lord Vycus to lead a Sith Resurgence, take over the galaxy, and destroy the Rebellion. When Lord Vycus’ forces are defeated, he escapes to a distant world awaiting reinforcements from the Dark Council.

We worked on this film for a little over 2 years! Due to scheduling conflicts, the visual effects and editing took much longer than expected. But in the end, the Force was with us and we prevailed.
A huge shoutout to the entire team on this project. Without each of your unique talents, none of this would have been possible.

I am preparing a new launch campaign to help fund The Dark Resurgence 2 - Episode 1. It will be about 10-15 minutes and a part of a larger live-action mini-series to complete the story of Lord Vycus and expand upon the Tales of the Sith universe. The script is written, but I need your help. Consider signing up to my pre-launch list at bit.ly/tdr2prelaunch. This helps me gauge support by the numbers and keep you all updated in case these platforms aren't here tomorrow! I'll release an update video at some point where I talk a little more about the story, challenges ahead, and how we'll see a side of the Sith that no kid movie would ever dare explore. Check out the conceptual teaser I released in 2019: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNKhm7CF39PViKM.html Thanks for your continued support. May the force be with you.

My question is: The movie events occur 200 years after The Battle of Yavin on Episode 4. But All The Canon and Legends characters return. Please read the decription bellow with toher questions thanks: What it will be the outcome of A film named: Star Wars: Star Fox/Lylat Wars in wich: The Majority of Star Wars Faction including, The Galactic Republic, The Old Republic, The Jedi, The New Republic, The Rebel Aliance, The Fel Empire, And The Resistance and The Galactic Federation of Free Planets(all of Them using their repective military/polive equipment of every kind and with thwir respective military/police uniforms, military/police equipment of every kind and military/police colours/emblems) are figting to protect and defend The Lylat System with The Help of The Star Fox Team and The Star Wolf Teams from an invasion from The and The Lylat System Militaries/Police forces of every Lylat System planets againsr The Invasion of The Galactic Empire and and The First Order (Now being a special force unit/section of the Galactic Empire) in revenge against The Lylat System Republican/Monachies Planets becuase their past support To The Rebel Alliance, The New Republic, The Resistance and The Galactic Federation of Free Planets and The Old Republic. In That 7 Hour Movie, The Music if all The All 10 Star Wars is used even the Music used on Star Wars Episode 4 A New Hope Revisited of Adywan is used also the Star Wars Episode 4 music score named: Star Wars Episode 4 Soundtrack - TIE Fighter Attack. In this film: Galius Rax is The Galactic Emperor and Rae Sloane is his wife and Empress. Also experts on light saber fighting. What is your opinion on that film?

Tricky responds to Gideon: You cannot win Gideon Hask. If you destroy the Saurian Emperor, my people will find you and execute you.

I never understood why people complain about location on fan films when...let's be real...there's about zero chance most fan film makers can afford to build sets or travel. You work with what you got. If they lived in Arizona, I bet it would have been desert based. Colorado? Mountains....oh wait...that's forest too mostly. :) It's not like fan film makers can trot the globe to exotic locations. lol. This film was overall good. Kept a decent pace. Scowl face girl was a bit much, but I understand the idea. Not bad work. Well done.

Just have to say, I come back here often. My favorite SW fan film ever. Doesn't even seem like a fan film. So awesome and compelling Vycus is one of my favorite SW characters now, canon or otherwise. His story deserves a major motion picture. His conflict and betrayal, and the pain in his face as his Sith mask/helmet is removed. That actor has a future. Well directed, well cast, and well costumed. Superb!!! Great job!

I just discovered your short film after I learned my first film got selected along with yours at the FantaSci Short Film Festival this year, and happened to start to watching all selected films... Being a die-hard Star Wars fan myself, I absolutely LOVED your Star Wars Short Story fan film!!! I’m very happy to share this official selection with you guys, because its truly a GREAT, FANTASTIC JOB! You’ve done an amazing short film! and those two years of effort making the film can be seen. The VFX are outstanding, and the lightsaber fights/battles are whatba Star Wars movie should be: EPIC. Definitely somuch better that the theatrical Disney spin-offs. I’m now a FAN of your short film! Wishing all the best! Best from Mexico.

This was really good. I have always had a huge fascination with sith. More of mixed feelings. What i mean is i always liked that they follow their passions and what not. Yet at the same time i feel sorry and pity sith. They allow their emotions, passion and greed to run unchecked. I admire yet pity the sith in this fan film. He used his anger of being betrayed blind him which lead to his defeat. He wasted time talking when he should have killed the soldier and made sure the jedi was dead. I pity him because he died a lonely death in his anger. His military was defeated and he was rejected and banished from his home. He was unable to seek vengeance for being outcasted. He died in his anger with unfinished busness. To make it worse he was not killed by a powerful jedi but by a mere soldier. Yes a jedi may have given that soldier the opportunity but it was a mere soldier none the less who ended his life.

This is trying too hard for me... I've been binging a bunch of fan films. I personally like the more subtle ones that fill in more of the quieter and less seen side of the Star Wars Universe. When you try to match the big budget epic ness of the actual movies it comes off like a cheesey SyFy Channel Movie. Imo

Lord Vycus was trying to be too much of Kylo Ren than be his own thing. Might as well have Vycus do that stance with a cross guard light saber. Even though I'm being critic I actually thought it was great and I could see Vycus a better version of Kylo Ren.

The Jedi was stabbed through the chest, the temperature alone from the saber would have caused intense burning throughout his chest.

Who's to say he won't rise up and kill the woman?

And while I respect fan movies who do their own Star Wars music, the results are often dissapointing, so I agree with just using John Williams masterpieces. Nuffin sounds more Star Wars than the real deal after all! ;D

This was really well done! If only Disney had your passion and creativity. SC Reviews KZfaq channel recommended your kickstarter. I have only one (tiny) nit-pick, which I hope you'll consider in your next film. Stars don't twinkle in space, the twinkling is only visible from a planet with an atmosphere (variations in the atmosphere cause the twinkling). I said it was a tiny nit-pick.
@mikethemarine
@mikethemarine 5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the support and nice attention to detail! I told my VFX artist to get rid of the twinkle but for some reason, he said he couldn't completely remove it. He did reduce the twinkle (it was bad in the first render) but I totally understand that one! Small details add up!

@@mikethemarine Mike, it really was a minor thing, and doesn't really affect the film. But I could see from the quality of the rest of the film that you'd really put your all into it. I wouldn't have had either the talent or dedication to produce this. Years ago I did some CGI for awhile (back when lightwave 5.5 was new!), so I probably notice those sorts of things more than most people.

It was a difficult production and tested my commitment quite a few times. The filming alone spanned an entire year. Since it was no budget, I had to deal with cast and crew dropping like flies...The sequel would be impossible to do with no budget, so it'll take quite a few years to get the following and financial backing to begin production most likely. Yeah whenever you do post-production work, you can never look at a film the same haha
