See, this is what I like to see. Some great production design and interesting concepts in the SW universe.
I agree the audio mix was a little off, but I think it will be great.

Given the often terrible, cliche or silly plots of many fan films (if they had a plot) this is definitely a step in the right direction, for me. It reminds me a bit like Dark Resurrection with larger battles, rather than the smaller ensembles often seen. It doesn't just have Jedi battling Sith in a forest. 

So, while I will wait to see the final product, I am at least glad they got this far and show a little more ambition.

For me, I'm just glad people are still trying. I think Dark Resurrection Vol 1 is certainly a great, grand scale, fan film that actually takes a little more of an original twist.

Honestly, I typically have a lower tolerance for low budget projects such as these, but this one had enough originality to be up my alley.

Does anyone remember a fanfilm about a kid living on a remote planet who witnesses a jedi getting killed by clone troopers and who 10 years later rebuilds his lightsaber in order to make everyone believe that the jedi are back?

I thought it was Lensmen Lucas couldn't get the rights to. Or maybe I'm just influenced by the fact the Japanese animated version of Lensmen was a Star Wars ripoff

(It it only remembered today because a) it had once of the first Japanese CG scenes, and b) the Japanese sold the comic book rights to a US company, infuriating the Doc Smith estate and souring them to all licensing deals)
