When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The first must-see film of the year.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This is truly awful.If you have seen all the other Star Wars movies then you have pretty much seen this.The plot is basically an amalgamation of the other Star Wars movies.Nothing is new - even the dialogue copies from the original movies.I have NO idea why a group of fans would make this. An original Star Wars movie, made by fans, would be great even if the special effects aren't as good as Hollywood can pay for. This badly made copy makes me wonder if any of the people involved actually like Star Wars.I recommend avoiding this, if at all possible, even if you are a die-hard fan - actually avoid it especially if you are a die-hard fan!

The only external sources relevant to how we understand the Star Wars fiction are the view of George Lucas and Lucasfilm. Creators of Star Wars have almost total control over how fans should interpreted the works of fiction. Fans of Star Wars have very little control over how the fiction should be interpreted. This works of the film is how people should understand the new Star Wars gospel and gossip of all sorts to be considering. Almost all of the fan fictional films are considered as G- canon (meaning George Lucas canon) with anything created, at least terms of overall story, by Lucas himself, including six (soon to be more) films, scripts and unpublished notes. Though it was generally considered an excellent fan film, it could not be entered into The Official Star Wars Fan Film Awards because it was much longer than the contest's upper time limit. However this film are still considered the best stories of Star Wars expanded universe.

Do not waste your time. The now 14-year-old fan film vignette "Knight Quest" is a gem compared to this (youtube it), and even it is far from perfect. I was expecting something along the lines of the quality of the fan-created "Star Trek Phase II". This was no such endeavor.I do applaud both their efforts and intentions. But being somewhat exposed to both tons of written fan fiction and video fan fiction of the Star Wars genre over the last 11 years (which I daresay the makers of this film would have benefited from reviewing), I have to say this movie comes across like one long Star-Wars self-pat on the back. As if the creators are saying to you, "Hey, it's Star Wars and WE made it, therefore it must be good, and YOU will think it's good too."The love story is really where this film falls short; weak and predictable. Doctor Who proved in the 1970s you can tell a fantastic story with a minimal set and special effects budget.The story aside... The changed lightsaber sound effects from SoundFX Master Ben Burrt's original format are absolutely horrid. The overall story arc is slow paced and far from interesting. Characterization...bad...the characters lack any real depth. And the acting is terrible, especially the character Jedi Master Soran Darr (I don't know whether this was bad directing or bad acting, but I've never seen a more wooden performance of a Star Wars character, which makes him the only memorable character to me in the film, and not for good reasons).Overall the movie almost feels like what would have happened if Star Wars had been made into a bad underfunded made-for-TV-movie in the 80s.I will say one good thing about it...the video effects were very decent, but poorly integrated anytime they had to be mixed with the live action sequences. But even this would be completely excusable for me if not for what I listed above.As stated, I applaud both their effort and intent - as this movie was well-hyped among the fan community long before it was released - but that is where my platitudes end. Given that in their efforts the makers of this film could conjure a project of this magnitude – a fan made Star Wars film - it's somewhat perplexing that they also couldn't seem to come up with better writers, directors and actors who would be willing to work for free as a labor of love for Star Wars (and let's be realistic, they HAVE to exist out there in vast numbers -- this is, after all Star Wars). If I had to guess, there was more nepotism involved in the cast and crew more than there was talent consideration, but I could be wrong about that. Perhaps the creators of this film will learn from their mistakes. Or perhaps they will go on listening only to their good reviewers and continue to put out the same product as before.I remember waiting a long time for Threads of Destiny to come out, I was actually very excited about it. A large disappointment, even for a fan film.

First the bad news. The acting was below average, most of the graphics were done sub-par, and the story was predictable. Having said that I think overall this movie was ambitious and it tried to tell a new story. I liked it and look forward to seeing how this production group will make the next installment better. But for the love of god please look into some acting lessons for the main characters. You are on your way to the possibility of an acting career so give it the effort it deserves and make us fans proud. In the mean time have the effects team beaten a little and tell them to step it up, this is Star Wars we are talking about. Don't half-ass it. I did like the asteroid belt scene and wish the entirety of the graphics had seen as much attention. It was obviously green screen a lot of the time and unfortunately you can see the halo around the actors as they walk through the scene. But hey, i can't do any better so keep up the good work and make sure it evolves. Overall I enjoyed it and will show it to my friends to judge for themselves.
