I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Blistering performances.

Now this is a Fanmade movie! It has excellent story and magical FX. Screenplay, director and actors are amateurs, but this is a Fanmade. A budget of 6000 $ only!!!! Are you kidding me!? Disregards reviews and ratings! if you are a true SW fan, you must watch this film.
If I was a producer in Disney this story I would use for next trilogy. Film has it's shortcomings, but when you consider that it has been made by fans, it is awesome. Add another million $ in the budget and you will have a blockbuster!
Just another proof that big producing companies don't takes fans too serious.

First the good news. The storyline is excellent. The music is excellent. The outer space shots are excellent. The chicks are gorgeous Swedes. Unfortunately there is only one good actor in the flick. That's the guy who plays the Sith Lord. I suppose playing a bad guy does a give an actor more meat to chew on. The guys playing Jedi both had the most annoying habit I have ever seen in a film. They walk about in nearly every scene with their hands clasp together in front of them. They appear as if they're covering or supporting their dangly bits. Someone should have yelled HANDS at them every time they did it. I can't think of habit I've seen an actor have in a film that was more irritating. These folks are stoic Swedes acting in this film so they have little energy or charisma. It's not their fault. That's just the way they are. If another movie gets made by the same crew I would recommend requiring the male actors to shave daily. Having a few days of beard on the face of every male that's old enough to grow a beard is not becoming. If you ever use that king again, get him a crown. He might clean up nicely with a shave and a crown.From there I'm afraid things get a little worse. As a photographer I was constantly annoyed by the lighting and cinematography. For some reason the light was constantly spilling over into the scene around the edges. Nearly every scene had haze and smoke and fog for no apparent purpose. That constant light spilling in from the edges coupled with the particles of fog and smoke or whatever it was made many scenes blurry which is to say pretty awful. Many scenes appeared to have been shot through glass that had reflections on it's surface.Still, when all is said and done, I enjoyed the movie. It was apparently the herculean efforts of one guy and a few other people. They are to be commended for the efforts. I hope they make another film and get better acting, lighting and cinematography.

Sure, sure, the accents, the acting, dialog, at times and the direction. All sub-par. Who cares? The special effects are really, really, great. There are so many good, and breathtaking aerial shots. Sure, perhaps the resolution could have been higher, it's not as 'sharp' as a Hollywood movie, but then, they probably didn't have the bloated and overpriced software that Hollywood uses. And there are so many, especially towards the end of the film. Especially the asteroid belt sequence was pretty awesome. There are so many space scenes, and city scapes, it's just very cool to watch. I hate CGI, which why the special effect of A new Hope are far superior, but somehow here, it didn't bother me.Also great were the fight scenes. In general, this film looked as if it had very high production value. In an expensive country like Sweden, with the highest living standard in the world, that is pretty impressive to achieve that for a budget of 6000 euros. One way to make this film 'better' would be to re-dub it with English or American actors. But I wouldn't. One, it would be unfair to the actors, especially the two actors that are ALLEREDE have been dubbed. Two, that would be just giving in to the stupidest demographic in America. Europeans don't really care about Swedish accents. Because they know it's not the accents that matter.The only ones who complain about the script being slow, are ADHD kids with a multiplex addiction.It was a bit weird to see a SW movie with no black people in it, and yes Sweden DOES TOO have black people.Lord Siege and Raven Darkholm were the best actors, Siege was VERY convincing, I hated that guy! The king and queen were decent, the pilot and the mentor Jedi were pretty bad, as well as the princess.The Melancholic Alcoholic.

First off, you have to realize that this is a fan movie made of a very low budget and for what it is, it is an outstanding project!As a major Star Wars fan I am very skeptical about fan films like these - but they pulled it off pretty nicely. Even though the obvious Swedish accents, bad acting, and failed green screen is a problem with this movie, it still executes and plays out quite nicely. And hey - It's a free movie too!The story is kind of similar to the three first Star Wars movies, but in a completely different way. And as a major Star Wats fan I can say that i was mildly entertained and my interest in the story was pretty high. The script was very well written - even though it sometimes make you cringe because it's obvious it was written by Swedish people. I am not giving away any plot details or spoilers - go check it out for yourself.As for the music, I think the soundtrack is quite nice and fits the moments pretty good. The CGI is awesome considering it's a low budget movie, just don't get any high expectations since it really isn't comparable to todays Hollywood movies. This movie took an amazing 9 years to make (!!!) since the movie has been post-poned and canceled multiple times. But the final result is pretty darn impressive.However, there is a lot of things wrong with this movie that I can't skip complaining about. For example, the terrible accent and the god awful Green Screen / Chroma key effects. The acting is very mediocre, and you can hear the Swedish accents on most of the actors, and the words are not pronounced correctly. This, for me, is very annoying and really destroys a part of the movie that could have been much better. I must say some of them did a fairly good job on the English accents though. I just wish every actor had taken a course on how to speak proper English and pronounce the words the right way. Maybe a few acting classes too. About the green screen thing, it is understandable that they can't do as well as recent Hollywood movies, but the green screen is really, really, awful. It keeps on bugging me and I just can't stop thinking of the badly done chroma key. I think they should have taken more time to fix this as it becomes a very irritating part of the movie.It was a fairly made movie and I did find it mildly amusing to watch. If you are a serious fan of the Star Wars movie you should not miss this. Hopefully, when the next Star Wars movie comes out 2015, Disney will not screw it up. Threads of Fate is a far from perfect movie, but still delivers an amusing plot and some fairly good CGI and acting, even though most of them make you cringe. Considering this is a fan movie and a low budget one, this is done very well and I would say this is an amazing attempt even though the dialog and the actors are a bit so-so at times. I admire that the creators of this movie made this movie and released it entirely for free making no profit of the movie at all, since they spent quite a lot of money for a fan film. This shows that there are passionate people out there that just want to please the fans and express their fandom.7/10 stars.
