VADER EPISODE 1: SHARDS OF THE PAST - Star Wars Theory FanFilm
Anakin Skywalker is DEAD.
For eight months, the mysterious Darth Vader has enforced the Emperor's commands. Fighting between the loss of Padme, and the new cursed life he now leads, Vader must do what must be done when a surviving Jedi Master from Order 66 has lured him to the home planet of his late Wife's tomb...

This project is single handedly the most amazing thing I've ever been part of. Without Danny Ramirez's guidance and help, this never would have taken off the ground, let alone...gotten to where it is today. I owe him a lot. He is da coooolest. I thank every single one of you for watching my videos and supporting my channel. I will do my best to excel your expectations for years to come and provide entertainment you deserve. I thank you for everything, and I hope to one day make episode 2 a reality. In the mean time, all I ask, is for you to share this video, and hit like to spread to word. I couldn't have done this without the talented people behind it. You know who you are (that long credits list). I love you all. And to the fans, meeting hundreds of you at the free premiere in LA was surreal. I will post everything soon from the event. You've changed my life forever, and I hope to bring you this first episode (and many more I hope!) as a gratitude and gift for what you deserve. I am eternally grateful.
ENJOY AND MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU, ALWAYS!!!!

This is a token of my appreciation to the fandom, and for all of you who have supported me over the years by watching my content. This is just the beginning! This fan-film is unmonetized and ad-free in correspondence to Lucasfilm's explicit rules to me. I love you all May the force be with you! Instagram - www.instagram.com/star.wars.theory/?hl=en

The guy playing Palpatine was having WAY too much fun lol
-
Disney claiming this technically makes it canon.
-
Who is here in 2024 giving this it's flowers after watching Star Wars Acolyte and wanted to watch real Star Wars content without feeling like we are to blame for a terrible script . Glad to be home Theory ❤
-
"a mighty sith lord crippled by melancholy and indecision" the writing for palpatine is so perfectly elegant its spot on to the material
-
Disney: Claims Film Fandom: Now, you will answer for your treachery.
-
Disney - If you don't like the new Star Wars lets see you do better. Star Wars Theory - Hold my beer
-
This is the hardest fan film I've ever seen. Vader's power struggle and emotional turmoil that haunts him daily is shown in this film.
-
In 16 minutes you’ve made better content than Disney has done in over 10 years.
-
Give this man the respect he deserves Disney...
-
I love how because it’s only 8 months after ROTS, they are still using the republic cruisers and the clones are still in clone armor and Vader still uses Anakin’s star fighter
-
There’s something darkly wholesome about seeing Sidious and Vader have a genuine master and apprentice relationship.
-
still. STILL cant believe you made this. i remember the day this was uploaded i finished it and said to my Mrs. 'now everyone is gonna know Star Wars Theory.' its beautiful work.
-
Fans: makes excellent, non-profit fan film. Disney: Yeah, we just gonna claim it and monetize on it. This is just petty jealousy. One that in the end will lose them more money than they will gain from it.
-
That Padme to Emperor transition was chilling!
-
Love this. The most heartbreaking part is Vader reflecting on his past as Anakin so he could feel a slight sense of his old normality and for the love of Padme. The bit when he hugs her but he realises it’s just the emperor, then Vader deep breathes in panic and he suddenly realises again what he is. One of the best Sith Lords in the galaxy
-
This is Canon. This happened. This is Vader. This is Star Wars. This is our "New Hope". This means everything. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
-
The internet has been blessed by this GLORIOUS creation. Thank you!
-
Usually, I feel guilty about ad blocking. Not Today.
-
This is absolutely amazing! As an avid Star Wars fan in 2023 seeing the pitfalls of Disney's new canon, I can't help but say that this is just what the Star Wars universe needs. The story really fleshes out Vader as a character, especially with his anguish over Padme's death during the transition of the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire following Revenge of the Sith, and the special effects and acting far surpass those of any other fan film I have seen on YouTube.
