    Im gonna talk about something other than the absolutely amazing choreography and acting. How the character of Triarch Wind was told through the story was amazing. In the beginning, he's simply a proper, ruthless Sith Lord snuffing out a small mutiny. But as the video goes on, we see Triarch tell Atlas that betrayal doesn't work out for everyone, insinuating that he himself has betrayed his comrades before. And we see him respect Atlas by placing his fist, which is clenching his badge, against his heart. Amazing work.

    I gotta admit, I was surprised by this one. I had originally thought (within the first minute or two) that this would work better as a fan film than as a LCC entry, but as it went on the action really amped up and the choreography really improved.

    I was totally hoping the apprentice would turn around and (quite literally) stab Triarch in the back.

Would've brought this already impressive display to a new level. Great work regardless

      @@mist0804 1: where did you get that there were stronger variations of Force Lightning? I’ve never heard that before.
      2: the fact that Dooku held his own against Yoda for a time holds quite a bit of weight, as this is the same frog who has studied every lightsaber form with the exception of Vaapad. In my opinion, though, Dooku’s best feat was his fight against Mace Windu in the comics. The fact that he held out against some of the greatest duelists of the era is very impressive.
      3: Dooku could easily deflect lightning, as it has been seen that his vast knowledge of his chosen form, Makashi, allows him to compensate for his weaknesses.
      4: I always thought Triarch’s feat there was a more of a form of Teutaminus, a Force power enabling the user to absorb energy. This includes blaster bolts, both real and Force lightning, and even lightsaber blade.

    Hum... My Review...
    Acting: 8/10 - For the most part, I was fine with the acting. My only annoyance (though I got through it) was the dialogue. Some of the characters felt like they were trying too hard or were just not in character fully. A particular bit that just rubbed me off the wrong way was the girls talking.
    Cartography: 9/10 - No real complaints here. I think the only gripe I have is the girl using the dual saber was not really using it to its potential/style. Of course, I can't expect everyone to put any study into lightsaber combat, but for this particular weapon, I do suggest it in the future. Otherwise, loved the show.
    Story: 2/10 - This hit me the hardest as being the most depressing aspect of the film. I get there are possibly length limits and so forth but with so little context to what was happening, I really had no idea what was going on beyond "Cool Lightsaber Fight". The foundation is set well for there to be a narrative, but it just did not have enough context to keep me invested in anyone.
    Overall: 6/10 - Promising, definatly promising. I will check out the channel for additional films to drop reviews on. Hope this is helpful to some extent.

    This kind of thing is why Darth Bane conceived the rule of two. The sith draw their power from conflict and passion but unless those things are directed to a purpose or to fight an enemy, the sith become their own worst enemy. Kreia said it best:
    "To be united by hatred is a fragile alliance at best"
    The sith were never more powerful than during the rule of two era when only two sith ruled, one to embody power, the other to crave it.
