Star Wars: Premonition | Award Winning Lightsaber Duel | SaberComp 2022

After seeing a glimpse into the future, a young mother must stand against the dark forces of fate.

My entry into SaberComp 2022. Fun fact, this is the 20th anniversary of the contest, and my 7th entry into that contest.

It was a blast making this, and the location is one of my all time favorite places to shoot. Everywhere I turned the camera it looked amazing.

Also, it was so fun to have my daughter Emily in this. She had so much fun being on a Star Wars set for a couple days.

Yes! Yes! And absolutely heck yes! 🎉 Y’all did it again. This felt so very SW to me thematically.

[ThisNThat]

Him using the force to pull her Saber down to attack right at the beginning was an awesome way to start a duel and my God was this a duel.

[tomkirby]

Wait....are you kidding me? How are you able to do in 7 minutes what Disney couldn't do over 3 movies? This was incredible! I need to see what happens next!

[lalitkumarsharma]

Totally justifies the Jedi way. She all along knew she would probably die fighting him, but she gave it all that she could. Man, that felt the REAL Star Wars story. Hats off to this superb masterpiece!

[pqoynxe]

Cared more about her and the kid in 7 minutes than I did any other character over hours and hours of the latest SW films. Bravo!!! It's relatable and emotional and what we want to see, great choreography too.

As a musician and a Star Wars fan, I’m amazed at how well your composer did with his score, and how your director and editors gave him the necessary room to influence and accompany the story in accordance with Star Wars’ niche! Absolutely outstanding work guys, I loved every second of this.

[mestis]

I feel like she meditated to accept her vision, managing her fear, and live through the inevitable with courage.

[SGames]

this is what star wars feels like, epic, emotional, and energetic. Fantastic work overall

This was better choreographed than all Disney lightsaber duels, but one thing is still a problem.
Even in a fan duel, people STILL can't seem to die from a lightsaber stab. 🤔

[chucksl]

Once again, a fan film that's way better than the sequels. They even had a Kylo Rey feel but everyone knew their training. Well done!

[rileyrattray]

Thank you for giving us a saber duel short that gives us the stakes of the battle but also the fact you both were aiming for each other and not the blades.Amazing.

[AlexeiX]

Guys filmed a whole movie with no dialogue with peanuts for budget and this is somehow so much better in 7 minutes than the 7 hours I wasted watching disney's trilogy. Thank you for this.

As an avid fan of KotFE, seeing a Pike Saber actually used in a high production value duel brings me immense joy.

[hopegambles]

I love how this scene was so organic, I could feel an emotional connection with the Jedi and her child, and the intensity of the sith and the deep story between them without ever being introduced to one. This was Star Wars, Disney should give you the rights and the budget for a new trilogy

[commanderdreg]

Your location is amazing, matches the tone perfectly. I think this is the best implementation of a light pike I have ever seen in anything. the cinematography and choreography are stunning. The use of the Force feels natural. This is by far and away the best entry I've seen this year and one of the best I've seen ever.

[raddestnerd]

Gotta love how this fan film has better writing, acting, stunt work, cinematography, production design and directing than anything Disney+ has put out

[antonioarroyoponce]

The fact that she meditates before the duel actually tells you a lot

[WilkosGaMes]

7 minutes of pure love and talent. The acting was on point and not cringe worthy. The music is outstanding. The choreography was 10/10. This is what Disney will never understand. Wow.

[andsocanu]

I felt more emotion in the first 3 minutes of this than in the last two movies combined.

[DeandraeRoets]

This is most probably the best lightsaber duel that has been filmed since the prequels. You made the characters matter more in 7 minutes than Disney could over 3 movies. Beautiful choreography. The meditation reminded me of Qui-Gon in the phantom menace. Masterfully done.
