Her saber strikes are wild and heavy, and for the first time he seems to have the advantage. This doesn’t last, however, as the saber flickers continuously throughout.Įnraged, the Darksider pounces on the Jedi. This leads to a game of tug-o-war between the Darksider and the Jedi for the saber and breaks when the Jedi’s saber flares back to life. As he activates it, the saber sparks, the blade dies. The Darksider uses the Force around him to distract and cause fear.Įventually, The Jedi does find his saber smoking in the ruins. This leads to a race through the woods, the wreckage of his ship strewn about the landscape. The Jedi goes for his saber…which is missing. It becomes very clear that his crash has been orchestrated, and that the person responsible left him with no hope of salvation.Įnter the Darksider, hooded and cloaked in black and dark red rags, carrying a wicked looking red bladed lightsaber (which looks like a slightly modded Saber Forge saber). The Jedi is severely wounded, and attempts to recoup from his (rather gruesome) wounds. A space ship carrying a Jedi has crashed down on a forest planet. You feel less like you’re watching the first ten minutes of the Obi-Ani fight and more like you’re watching the last ten of Cape Fear. Unlike most fanfilms, which are set pieces for lightsaber choreography, Force and The Fury takes on the genre of psychological thriller. The movie is written and Directed by Jason Satterlund, and stars Aris Juson as an unnamed Jedi and Deborah Smith as an unnamed Darksider. Like Hoshino, which we’ve reviewed earlier, Force and The Fury is a very short film at 7:28, but it gets its point across in the time allotted. Now, as this is May the Fourth week, I suspect a lot of fanfilms and projects are going to come out in the following days like last year.īefore we begin, please watch the movie first, as I go in to spoilers. This weekend, a friend of mine sat me down to watch a recently released Star Wars fan film called “The Force and The Fury”.
