Going into this film, i've anticipated it for months. However, it is leagues better than any fan film on Youtube or made that i'm aware of. The score stood out to me as one of the many shining crystals in the film, capturing the essence of the malevolent entity that is Darth Sidous and Darth vader. Absolutely amazing, must watch for any fan of Star Wars, or even fans of fan films, absolutely awesome.

This is one of the absolute best fan films I have ever seen!!! The love and dedication that has gone into this project is visible in every scene. From the writing, acting, special effects and emotion makes this a true Star Wars film! I hope to see more episodes as soon as possible.

Most star wars fan film is mostly just a long lightsaber action scene that dosen't really capture the star wars feeling. This is diffrent. The understanding of the character that Vader is amazing. The atmosphere is amazing and it's a good star wars film

This beginning episode gave me chills and the inside story of Vader the silver screen has never seen. The potential drips out of this episode and most definitely needs to be followed up with another.

This fan film has it all and it certainly shows with how much passion it was created something that Disney seems to have forgotten. The Special effects are dazzling and mind-blowing and in very few instances can you see that this is a fan film. The story captivates the audience and although you know that it is only 16 minutes long you wish for it to never end. This fan film has united the fans once again and brought smiles to our faces and I hope that we get Episode 2 soon. Well Done STAR WARS THEORY !!!!

Ever since episode 7 star wars has lost the passion and love for the franchise. This fan film shows what true love and passion for something can produce. At first I was a little worried about how it would look and if the acting was going to be good. I was concerned that it would be like any other fan film, it couldn't be any further from that. This is as good if not better at times than a full production star wars movie. It definitely was what's been missing from the franchise!

For a fan film, this hugely exceeded my expectations. I would pay to see a full-length film version of this in the cinema!
This shows a side of Darth Vader that original trilogy didn't, and I can't wait to hopefully see part 2.

Excellent production and interesting period within the Star Wars franchise. Definitely deserves sponsorship. A lost opportunity to capitalize on such a great film.

This film shows the struggle of Vader and the plot is really good. Casting is on point and the CGI in this film is excellent. Can't wait for further episodes!

Great film felt authentic like the ones Lucas made Disney should take notice and look at this film of what Starwars fans want to see
LucasFilm's own Episode VIII: The Last Jedi had left a sour taste in the mouths of many a fan of the STAR WARS saga, and a year later this is still true. Fans of the franchise were and still are divided over the controversial eighth instalment, and the release of VADER has helped heal these old wounds.
Despite being a fan film on a budget lower than the average episode of The Clone Wars TV show, "Star Wars Theory" and Danny Ramirez deliver a short film with the spirit of STAR WARS in mind; beautiful VFX, cinematography and of course, a compelling cadre of villains aplenty.
The film, naturally, leaves much to be desired however; the voice acting of Bradley Klein for the character of Emperor Palpatine shows that perhaps Master Yoda has rubbed off on the voice of the Senate more than the dark side has. Jacob A. Cadmus' score for the film is entirely synthetic in instrumentation, unfitting for a STAR WARS flick, and it shows throughout the film. The film also seems a little too reliant on lines and references to previous material, as well.
Nevertheless, this film is one fans of the STAR WARS franchise have needed to heal themselves, and its sequel is hotly anticipated.

If I were to score this as a fan film in comparison to other fan films it would be a 9. However, this is not a "fan film" website for scoring a movie. No I'm not just some hater. I actually like that this guy had the guts to spend his money on a movie for his fans. From a non fan film perspective it's a miss. Yeah for a fan film it has good effects but not for a "real" film. Yes for a fan film it has good acting. But from the perspective of a real movie the acting is not on point. For example the voice of palpatine for a fan film it was decent but for a "real" film it was horrific. I thought I was listening to an old man with larengitis and a slight accent. I could do this for every actor but I won't. The story itself isn't very compelling at all to the casual viewer. You really don't know what is actually going on if you don't know Star Wars. You could start any other Star Wars real movie from the start without knowing much about it and still be aware of what's going on. Yes it is difficult to do that in 12 ish minutes but the fan film fails to do so as do all fan films. This review will get great backlash I'm sure. I have nothing against anyone who was on the team for this production. Sometimes the truth must be told as the fanboys judgment is often blinded.
It is absolutely amazing! Watching this I thought disney had worked on this. The fact that this came from a youtuber with a dream is just mind blowing.
When the last Jedi came out I lost hope in Star Wars but this part of the movie showed me hope and why I fell in love with Star Wars. I hate to say it but this man did what rian Johnson failed to do. And that's bring the fans together

It was a phenomenal for a fan made film! The animation the acting it was all good and exciting to watch. It starts off great and ends even better with a cliffhanger for episode 2 of the Fan Film.
Star wars theory did what no Disney star wars movie couldn't. Vader: Shards of the Past is the best fan film to come out in recent years.

I was not expecting much but anything with Darth Vader has my full attention.... From the beginning to the end I was on the edge of my seat! I don't want to through shade on the new Trilogy but dang did this blow it out of the water! Disney, Lucas films take some notes! Thank you so much for making this short film. My whole family saw it over a dozen times during Christmas. Thank you again and may the force be with you! Epic.

This is Star Wars. It feels like it can be fit right in between ROTS and ANH. The cast is stellar. The visuals are amazing. I can't wakt for Ep. 2. Coming from someone who cosplays as Han Solo this felt right.
