SHROUDED DESTINY: A STAR WARS LONG TALE Trailer – A New Hunt Begins In Shahbaz Sarwar’s Ambitious Fan Film Proof Of Concept
Danish actor/filmmaker Shahbaz Sarwar spent close to five years between development and production for his most daring endeavor yet, Shrouded Destiny: A Star Wars Long Tale.
Fast forward to Spring 2020 with the project partially crowdfunded, produced and shot in fourteen days with a crew of more than 300 volunteers in a span of fifteen months, the project now stands as a 65-minute call to arms as Sarwar hopes to gain the attention of Disney/Lucasfilm, as well as Star Wars fans the world around.
500 years before the Clone Wars the Galactic Republic builds “The Citadel”, which is a maximum security facility designed to keep “Rogue Jedi” imprisoned. Rogue Jedi all over the galaxy are being located and brought back. This is the story of one of these retrievals.
Featuring action sequences by Joon Poore and his team, the hour-plus long fantasy action adventure joins Sarwar with actress and stunt performer Laûren Okadigbo, as well as Lars Mikkelsen who himself is no stranger to the story set “in a galaxy far, far away” since voicing Grand Admiral Thrawn in Disney XD’s season three of Star Wars Rebels.
Consider the progress Disney’s been making with its Star Wars IP in the last ten years. The Skywalker Saga is done, CG animated series The Clone Wars is a hit, and the explosive side-saga that is The Mandalorian is well on the way to a second and third season, and not to mention as are new shows and films are in the works.
Indeed, the House Of Mouse shows no sign of stoppage in growing its massive library of Star Wars IP from there – a fact long present even as Sarwar unveiled a six-minute proof of concept for Shrouded Destiny: A Star Wars Long Tale in 2018. Provided he can encourage Disney and the fanbase to rally behind him, I’d say both Sarwar and his brainchild would both be in good hands.
I’m told that Sarwar intends to debut Shrouded Destiny: A Star Wars Long Tale later this year before an audience depending on how the current global situation surrounding Covid-19 progresses, and with an official trailer in our midst, those hopeful prospects have grown just a little closer.
