A friend had a small star wars movie (about 2 minutes)where the
emperor had an apprentice fighting hordes of enemies with a dual light
saber.  At the end, the apprentice wins, but dies by being split in
half.  I know it's not the new trailer, and I haven't been able to
find it on the web.  I'd like a link to download please.

The Jedi with a dual light saber who is cut in half sounds like Darth
Maul, from Star Wars: Episode I (The Phantom Menace).

Dear draxe-ga,

I wish I was an official google answers expert, because I actually
know the exact trailer you are talking about.  It wasn't actually a
trailer, but a movie made on a mac.  It is called "Duality".  Here is
its web address:

It is incredibly well done.  Hope this helps.  Your answer for free!

Dear draxe-ga,

Here is the exact link to the download (several sizes are available). 
But I would also suggest visiting the other parts of the website
because the makers explain how they did it on a very low budget.  It
is fantastic considering everything.  Anyway here is the direct
download page...

Hope this helps.

Thanks Tornado2, you rock, that's exactly the one.  I thought it was a
professional trailer- those guys are great.  Too bad you're not a
researcher.  :(  Well there's another really cool video out there,
maybe you haven't seen the killer bean...
