Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
mpost-62477 I've seen a lot of bad fan films based on / inspired by Star Wars. Most are awful; cheap-looking with horrible acting and effects. This one is no different, but it commits the added offense of completely ignoring characterization. The Jedi, Boba Fett, and Darth Vader all have their own personality (yes, the Jedi as a whole have a characterization because, except for a few, they have no personality outside of the singularity of being a Jedi). It's one thing to have your own vision, but it's quite another to decide you're going to completely re-write who the characters are because it gets you from your Point A to your Point B more easily. The number one rule of adapting someone else's work is allow the characters to stay true to themselves. When people complain about actions being "out of character" that's what they're complaining about. For example, you don't have Indiana Jones suddenly decide he's religious or a wuss. Both would spit in the face of the character as they'd been written. That is the major offense of the fan film: the only-works-alone Fett leading a trooper unit to hunt Jedi, the highly emotional Vader telling Fett to stop being emotional, the stoic-in-the-face-of-death Jedi shown running scared from everything around them. These are all situations and scenes from this fan film written with a complete disregard for the characters and who they are. Whomever did this wanted to show Boba Fett fight Darth Vader; they got to do that which appears was the only thing that matter to them, characterization be damned.
tjhonor I may have a biased opinion, I am a fan the Star Wars World, not to the point of being a "Fan"addict, and feel fans need a representative review. Fearful Jedi on the Offensive, a Sith saying to an opponent, "Let go of your emotions" and a bounty hunter grabbing the business end of an elite guards weapon like a stick were just a few of the things that stood out prominently for this film short that pulled it down for me. I could continue on but I want to minimize the spoilers. I was slightly entertained and it is evident that there was thought put into the story, and I feel the fans should put in the effort to express their interpretation of a piece of the puzzle that is the Star Wars World.
Gerald Yu Acting is bad.Directing is bad, because the storyline was hurried. Boba could so easily kill off many Jedi so quickly made no sense. In the SW films, neither Boba nor Jango could so easily kill any Jedi; the reverse is true. Remembering Baba had a comical silly death, the director exaggerated the abilities of Boba.The script is the worst part. It made no sense that the Jedi were fearful of a Mandalorian, that they chose to run rather than face an opponent. And a thermo detonator is hardly something that a Jedi need to run from.Reactions of Darth Vader also made no sense. Throughout Vader's career, he had basically been tolerating the incompetence of those who worked for him, until the breaking point where he killed them off and used the next in line. If Boba tried to pick a fight with a Sith, he should be dead, or at least get an arm chopped off (he can get a mechanical one just like everyone else).In this short film, the Jedi behaved like a Sith (fear), and the Sith behaved like a Jedi (respect the opponent). The script writer had one idea -- what if Vader and Boba fought? In order to get there, the writer abandoned the Star Wars logic and the natures of the characters.
leomilan The story was interesting seeing Boba Fett work for Darth Vader after the events of clone wars and I wouldn't mind seeing that story as a animated movie or TV show or even a stand alone Star Wars movie. The problem with Star Wars: Wrath of the Mandalorian was just the acting and the effects.When the characters started talking I started breaking into laughter seeing how bad they were and the effects were not on point. For a fan made short film, Star Wars: Wrath of the Mandalorian had pretty good effects such as the light savers but the back grounds and walkers were not good. Overall I wouldn't mind watching a animated version of this because the idea itself was great and I really like Boba Fett so this wasn't a terrible thing.
