He flees looking for his lightsaber and is shocked when he takes a glance at his enemy. She is a swift and deadly warrior, and all he has to defend himself is his knowledge of the force and a lightsaber that is on the verge of losing battery life any moment. Director Jason Satterlund delivers a very beautiful and exciting short film that gets to the heart of the narrative, and slips in some really good lightsaber matches to boot.<\/p>\n<p>Kudos to Federico Verardi whose cinematography makes this fan film pop and resemble something directly out of canon. Much like the original movies, the lightsaber fight featured is not about show, and is packed with a ton of emotional meaning behind it. When Aiden finds himself overpowered by the dark Qira, he has to do whatever he can to survive their match, even appealing to her humanity. But, considering they share a surprisingly dark past, Qira isn\u2019t quite intent on letting him survive their skirmish. \u201cThe Force and the Fury\u201d is quite a memorable side story that explores the cost of devoting one\u2019s life to the force, and the dark road that can be taken when one submit themselves to the dark side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite what Disney and Lucasfilm have been doing lately with the \u201cStar Wars\u201d cinematic universe and promising \u201cStar Wars\u201d films until the foreseeable future, that doesn\u2019t stop fans from contributing their own stories. \u201cThe Force and the Fury\u201d is a great and simple short fan film that is beautifully directed and works on the fundamentals [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,12],"tags":[58,71,349,501,631,840,906,938,980,1012,1087],"class_list":["post-25152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-a-indie","category-movie-reviews","tag-action","tag-adventure","tag-fantasy","tag-indie-film","tag-martial-arts","tag-revenge","tag-science-fiction","tag-short-film","tag-star-wars","tag-survival","tag-thriller"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25152"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25152\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25154,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25152\/revisions\/25154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
