Zack Snyder has directed some of the DC films and also hints of directing a “Star Wars” film with the “Dark Side Knight v Superjedi: Dawn of the Alliance.” How do the DC universe and the galaxy far, far away do in this mash-up trailer?
Everyone is excitedly anticipating for “Rogue One, ” and it’s clear that Snyder’s one of the fans of the film too. To heighten the anticipation, Snyder decided to create the “Dark Side Knight vs. Superjedi” mash-up which he hinted that it's a long overdue video.
Here’s how the trailer works. Snyder used the original trailer of “Batman v Superman” and changed the setting in the galaxy far, far away. Here, Batman is the Sith while Superman is the green light saber.
To create a more galaxy feel to the trailer, Batman asks Superman “Tell me, do you embrace the Dark Side? You will.” Snyder also adds more of the “Star Wars” sounds in the clip he made to create a more “impressive production values” as The Verge reports.
This isn’t the first time the Snyder did a mash-up of “Star Wars” with other films. In 2014, he and J. J. Abrams, the director of “The Force Awakens” exchanged photos in Twitter with the film and DC images.
The result was also a mash-up created by Abrams. The video showed the Batmobile as it cameoed on the Millennium Falcon, Entertainment Weekly reports.
Will Snyder get the chance to direct a film in the “Star Wars” franchise? Everyone will have to wait after the release of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.”
