8. Shadow Of The Republic

Shadow of the Republic is the perfect Star Wars fan film for those who want to see more of the dramatic shift in power after Order 66.

Cameron Sly and the team at Cinematic Captures released this absolute masterpiece of animation titled Shadow of the Republic. Released in 2020 and with over 2 million views on YouTube, this fan film follows a team of special operative clone troopers tasked with extracting Senator Wal Bakrom from kidnappers disguised as clone soldiers.

The animation is so slick and beautifully done that it looks as if it were all shot in live action. Speaking of action, there is plenty of it and what this fan film does beautifully is that it shows a more covert, cloak and dagger side to the clones than what we are used to from the prequels.

The voice acting (credited to a person known as The Shape Shifter) is spot on in so many ways. Not only do they do a decent job of trying to emulate Temeura Morrison but they also manage to show a deeper emotional side to the clones that the prequels glossed over.

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
