Star Wars: Darkness Unleashed

Description
As I finally got this uploaded and ready to roll, I had this sudden urge to rewatch part of the video, which in turn delayed the release. Sorry for that. :p

Full-length fan films are rare, because they take a lot of dedicate and most importantly a lot of time. We\'re truly blessed when we receive legitimate full-length fan films, and I\'d say we\'re definitely [i]doubly[/i] blessed to receive this one. The trailers that were released, while good, did not do the final product justice (which is a nice change!). Darkness Unleashed brings us the tale of a dark Jedi who has lost his one true love and is out for revenge. Perhaps it sounds clichéd, but continue to watch. As I mentioned to someone earlier, it\'s not the basic plot that makes or breaks a film, it\'s the details. Beat the same storyline to death, but add in the extra something and you\'ll have yourself a film that\'s not only enjoyable, but unique.

Now that I\'ve said that, I\'ll do a complete 180 and claim that the plot of this video is not only [i]not[/i] clichéd, but is in fact rather original. If I were to be silly and boil it down to one sentence it sure sounds boring, doesn\'t it? But when I tell you there\'s an amazing swoop chase, a hectic space battle, a ridiculously awesome saber and [i]Force[/i] duel, and a few severed stormies, it sounds a lot more appealing, doesn\'t it? This film not only features some great content, but the filming, editing, soundtrack, and effects are all top notch. Both Jedi Academy and Empire at War are used seamlessly to create a full story. The character are all voiced (pretty decently, might I add) and the words \"I can\'t do that\" never seemed to cross anyone\'s mind -- I\'m sure you\'ll all be as stunned, shocked, and pleasantly surprised as I was by some of the effects portrayed here! I\'m [i]pretty[/i] sure I saw some green screening...

Our hero, or should I say [i]anti[/i]-hero, curiously tugged at my heart strings (despite being a vile Sith with his heart set on revenge), which is the sign of a well-written character. There really is very little that\'s lacking here, with the exception perhaps of the game\'s engine and animations (but let\'s not blame the author for that!). I certainly can not emphasize enough how [i]great[/i] a film this is, so please just cough up the bandwidth and check it out for yourself. I sincerely doubt you\'ll be disappointed.

Now that I\'ve spent all evening uploading this thing... I\'m going to go watch it again! Enjoy. :)
