Vidder:

Fandom: Star Wars (all media types)
Summary:
vidder's summary "I don't have too much time to write all my thoughts, but I wanted this edit to feel open-ended. Whatever victory Yoda was talking about, it's almost as if they're still searching for it, holding onto hope that they will get there someday. But they've been going in circles over and over, with this push and pull of the dark and the light. Constantly revolving around one another, but never fully joining forces. "
Reccer's Comments:
The themes in this vid are so well realized. The vid is overlaid with edited dialogue, but it's so well done that it is the track for the visuals and the music has more of a supporting role. The vidder pulls in a wealth of source making this feel truly EPIC.
