paradiddle16 Started nice but then the acting and script ruined it. From watching this we can deduce that the Jedi are complete morons/weaklings and look like a bunch of geeks.A blinded Han Solo kills Boba Fett in ROTJ and gets easily captured by Dartth Vader in Empire strikes back. But in this movie Boba Fett almost kicks Darth Vader's arse.
Granger Can't properly review this without spoilers, so I'll just point out the flick's two primary flaws:1- Considerably violent, no-punches-pulled kiling by Boba Fett, including scalping a wookie. If it was the director's goal to bring Star Wars down to gansta level, succeeded. While it wasn't "gory" per se... the killings were too intense to consider this "Star Wars" fare.2- Without spoiling the why when and what happens... completely illogical conflict between Boba Fett and Vader. Simply made no sense, did it.One additional bit... if you're a group of five Jedi (yet again) walking through a forest trying to avoid capture, then according to this story line: have your multi-color light sabers drawn and ON. There's no way that's going to call attention to yourselves-- at least no more than Times Square at midnight.Beyond that I'll not discuss plot line or logic flaws. Suffice to say this is a typical low-key fan film.
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.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Star Wars: Wrath of the Mandalorian" is a 12-minute short film from 7 years ago written and directed by Kelly Dolen. I think I can be a fairly neutral observer of the quality of this film here as I am far from what some people may consider a Star Wars fanboy who either loves or hates everything else that has to do with the subject apart from the original films. In any case, this one here includes many features from the films, such as the characters, the light saber fighting, the music..., but yet it comes really short in terms of delivering a convincing story around the apparently legendary Mandalorian. And apart from that, it does look more amateurish at times than it should, even for a fan movie. All in all, not recommended.
