Wrong crowd, this was a fencing world championship and all I could think of was all the times they exposed themselves and left themselves vurnerable and I'm just a weekend warrior, these professional fighters probably thought it was painful to watch. Great show, but very much the worst place to perform it.
The beauty of the lightsaber is that you don’t need your slice to follow through along the sharp side of the blade, you can just swing it around and it’ll melt through anything. Truly the ultimate melee weapon.
Ghost De Razgriz I’m a massive sucker for Star Wars so I like all the lightsaber fights in the three trilogies my personal favourites being the prequels, though I do agree they all have flaws to them
Ghost De Razgriz the prequel fights are better than both the OT and the sequel fights, you can’t even argue about it I do understand your point but remember that this is a long time ago in a galaxy far far way
Oh my forcr like right!? I cant believe no one else is talking about it shit went so hard when they traded mid duel but the Sith used the saber staff more efficiently.
The Cornhusker State Games in Nebraska has "Energy Sword" as an event (can't call it Light Saber due to copyright). It's not fast and choreographed like this. It's really a branch of fencing. But many of the competitors dress the part. I've never gotten to watch it because it's always the same time as my event
@BlueTco Gaming I don’t think so this is to specific even in movies they can only do a scene for so much before they cut it because it’s too much it’s probably a bit of choreograph and skill

but the close up face shots are exactly what you want to see in a sword fight oh and those wide vistas just perfect for not seeing whats going on its almost like the directors vision is more important than whats visable
Me and my friend had a fight with combat lightsabers and it was all fine until I span the light saber and swung at the lightsaber to try and disarm him and hit his hand and broke 3 of his fingers lol
It was good but lets not get carried away. I think people's expectations of major studio productions clouds their objectivity so that nothing they do is ever good enough and anything decent that amateurs do is over praised - alas just my opinion worth no more or less than yours or anyone else's.
@@Li-Nuss Maul's fight vs Obi-Wan after Qui-Gon is killed is fantastic, but most of the fight before that is over-choreographed, especially the moments where both Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon are fighting Maul at the same time, as they have multiple times where they just kinda stand there for a second waiting for Maul to be in a position to block before they swing their sabers. It looks really stupid. There are a bunch of equally stupid moments in lightsaber fights in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. The only fights that actually feel real are in the OT and the sequels, and since the sequel fights go too far in the opposite direction and have pretty much zero choreography and are just boring, it's only really Darth Vader vs Luke Skywalker fights in ESB and RotJ that are really extraordinary (the Obi-Wan vs Vader fight in A New Hope is boring as hell).
@@Tocaraca Well, I recently watched Episode I, II and III again and closely watched each fight scene. First I thought your earlier comment was a bit far fetched but I 100% agree. It's actually a bit sad that they could've done those fight scenes a LOT better, like these two lads obviously did.
@serenity1378 I think that's a cop-out. I don't see how waiting until somebody is ready to block can ever increase your overall chance of winning, when you could just strike them before and end the fight right there. When you actually look at the fighting you'll see there were a few opportunities for Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon to just end the fight right there, and not doing so obviously did not benefit them. I also have an issue with the way that fighters use multiple blades, aka General Grevious, who can easily just block with one lightsaber and strike with the other three but he just doesn't coz of plot armor
the fact that many people perform these choreographies way better than the actors, without camera shakes, camera cuts, short angles, etc, etc... I mean this is an uncut scene and looks amazing.
@@rustyhowe3907 you should see the behind the scene final episode of Clone Wars with Ahsoka, because they did their own stunts and stuff as well similar to the Part 3. As least I think Maul did. They had stunt performer for Ahsoka, but it was still an actual fight.
I mean ... that was very intentional. They decided they wanted it to look more like an actual sword fight rather than a choreographed piece of dance. There are interviews where Abrams explains this. It's not like they were going for the Episode 3 ballet and falling way short.
@@gabrielanker1346 despite some of the silly moments of the obi/anikin fight. it is actually one of the greatest sabre fights where most of the actions make sense. And unless you don't count them because animated. The ANimated star wars series have some phenomenal duels.
Although it's clearly coreographed and there are a lot of acrobatics, I think it's cool to see that there is actually very little overswinging and they are actually aiming at each other and not the swords
Every blow was literally directed to the body, I saw things like this before, when people that have the skills sign up for thise kindw of thing in festivals they actually fight to entertain, in a medieval festival it would be with swords that were non letal (basically not real) and whoever gets hit loses, at least I think it works like that.
@@Shiro_Usagi-01 "They also collaborated with a Combat Choreographer from Hollywood, and performed during the World Fencing Championship 2015." Directly from the video description.This is a demonstration before the competition
Months and months of timing, planning learning each others movements, each swing carefully choreographed to look this good yet look what the 3 sequals gave us shocking
@@yaboi7465 the video was made in one take, it’s choreographed, means they practiced it. One take means when they actually preformed it to video tape it they only had to do it once to get it right and didn’t mess up.
Brilliantly rehearsed. That must of taken forever to make it look so authentically spontaniouse. Loved how it didn't seem rehearsed..they were reacting to each other..that's what made it something special. Great Show! Should've been a lot more people watching.
They’re both really talented but the guy In black’s form is amazing, they deserve a full audience, I hate the fact that they got zero applause afterwards, I’d be on my feet for them.
I cannot believe how amazing this video was! Those two light saber duelist pulled off classic hi high-quality super ninja light saber dual without cut screen or working with a net. They just went at each other with all their might and somehow they made it look more real than the movies. These two should definitely play Jedi and SITH in a Star Wars movie! I feel truly lucky to have seen this, and I want to share it with everyone I love!!!
@@synystargames6051 you’re just jealous because you’re not force sensitive like the two superhuman beings we just witnessed in a duel that shaped the history of the galaxy.
They swapped lightsabers mid-fight and it looked very authentic. The whole thing was well choreographed and their moves and expressions really sold the fight. This is ART.
I really enjoy how they did that as well and if you pay close attention they each have a different fighting style when wielding the others weapon. The jedi was so adjusted to a staff weapon he was unsure of where to strike at his opponent while wielding the single hilt, while the sith instead of being elegant and nibble with the staff saber was more harsh and trying to batter his opponent into submission.
All filmmakers need to watch this. All the attacks feel committed, there’s no pointless flailing at the air, there’s variety in the strikes and most importantly WE CAN SEE WHAT’S GOING ON!
no where near committed, there was so much pointless flailing. A realistic approach should be heavy strike and both of them would be going for each others necks instead of just swinging and jumping and spinning
@@randycheow4268 yeah, he was a master of vaapad, essentailly reflecting all the sith users hate back at them, the more aggressive they got in the fight, the better he did against them(i think, dont quote me)
I have seen all the movies. Even when the original Star Wars came out in the theaters in the 70's. Ya, in my late 50's kids. I was about 10 at the time. This is the best saber performance I have personally seen yet. Outstanding!
@@rekdyoface4503 That was bad ass too. I watch that one on here often enough too. It is mostly because these two are amateur. What is really too bad is nobody is there to watch and those that are seem utterly unimpressed. To bad.
I love how you can even notice differences between both fight styles, the double sabled one is way more aggresive while the one sabled one is more defensive and reactionary, this even stays true when they switch sabers
Interestingly enough, in one old legends novel Sith blademaster noted that saber-staff is better utilized as a defensive weapon rather than offensive one. He said that biggest potential of saber-staff is that it caughts it's opponents off-guard, because it's relatively rare sight and neither Jedi nor Sith know how to effectively defend against it.
It's built for pressure and constant aggression. Hence Juyo. Not all that different from real life forms of the same. It's defensive capability and offensive lie in the reach but the former less so, because its harder to maneuver and correct over extension. Rusty...is just well...lol. Ignore whatever that is.
The advantage of a dual-bladed lightsaber is having the ability of both defensive and offensive tactics. While your opponent is focused on one of you blades, you can get the jump on them with the other. While single bladed lightsabers need to be brought around to block every other strike, you can simply turn your dual-bladed one slightly to the left or right
I've also heard that there is some written material talking about the weakness of the double bladed style being that even with the reach and two blades you still have to bring it around to use both making it so its easier to read if you know where one of the blades is in relation to the other. I could actually see some of that in the fight where if you see one blade drop its easier to guess where the other one was coming around.
@@ErraticFaith it's all about getting a flow going that makes you dance with the weapon. It'd say its 50/50 weapon that takes advantage of whatever movements you can do with you body even more so when you start "rowing" in your motions with them they can easily create a huge area of denial once in motion
@@westerling8436 i mean, i don't really care much for comment section arguments, but you gotta admit it's kinda funny to think that someone commenting calling others losers in a YT comment section doesn't consider themself to be one
Especially from the guy using the staff Saber. I've always wondered the practicality of them when you could instead just dual sabers but he makes that look phenomenal
@@Voondubah switching your swinging stance while still going for the same spot as the last swing is a great way to throw your opponent off. Besides we usually only see people hitting in the same spots with power strikes, like Luke cutting off Vader's arm. I think it's a nice change!
@@zacharyjackson1829 ngl, wouldn't using 2 lightsabers be more practical? Edit: I totally forgot about the force. Using 2 lightsabers would literally make you unable to use the force unless you have more than 2 arms or you throw one lightsaber onto the ground.
"a more elegant weapon for a more civilized time" I didn't understand it at the time, but now I see it, this is not just a battle, it's a dance, a beautiful dance.
indeed, think about the damage, somehow getting cut by a lightsaber is personal, the strength from the hand of your killer is the thing that kills you, you die very near your attacker, with a blaster is impersonal, you fall flat dead in the ground far from the shooter, what kills you is the bolt fired from a chamber activated by a single finger.
There might have been few people actually there but 47 million people watched it on this platform and the comments truly give this amazing fight the respect it truly deserves
@@ziggy9219 I'd like to correct your statement despite you not asking for help, this is important for two reasons. One, people may not know that they need help with something and most are often very appreciative of this. Two, in correcting them you are "helping" in a similar way without being asked and the irony is important to note should it come up IRL or online in other situations so you don't make yourself look ignorant. This is only constructive criticism and you can take it as you see fit.
Part of the reason why it feels like the blades have weight is because they actually do. These lightsabers use thick polycarbonate blades. The movie props used carbon fiber rods for their blades. That being said, realistically a lightsaber blade wouldn't have much weight. The blade is essentially plasma contained in a magnetic field. You also wouldn't be bashing them around, as the blade would be able to do all the cutting work for you. Realistic lightsaber combat would be a lot like competitive fencing with a focus on reaching out and touching your opponent.
It's a crying shame so few people in the audience are seeing this. It's utterly incredible seeing these guys move at what feels like superhuman speed. If only the films could look half as good. Major applause to both gentlemen for a phenomenal performance.
that dude representing the dark side with that long dark hair and goth clothing is absolute fucking perfection, its like Vader in his prime if he beat Obi-Wan on Mustafar and never ended up needed the suit.
The most lively duel I've ever seen. (With the exception of the Star Wars films from episodes 1 to 3 and the fights from the Clone Wars from season 1 to season 6)
That move is very similar to what Anakin does vs Obi-Wan on Mustafar. He does a flourish (where the saber goes behind his back) and spins as he flourishes. The spin exposes his back to Obi-Wan, but the flourish blocks an attack from behind coming from Obi-Wan. It's a very advanced and technically impressive lightsaber parry.
@@1994AustinSmith Yeah, pretty much. It's actually not a super effective move since it does expose you more than just keeping your guard in front. However, certain Lightsaber forms require you to twirl and spin a lot, so this kind of spin-flourish-parry action would fit perfect in those forms.
I've watched this duel a few times through various re-uploads throughout its existence and I'm always astounded by just how it looks. The choreography is just perfect. One little easily missable detail is that after that incredibly fluid lightsaber swap, the duelists back off and fight much more defensively as they are both now using a fighting style that they don't know very much about. You can see that the sith doesn't use the dual-bladed saber nearly as frenetic and fluidly as the jedi and is much more cautious as to not accidentally chop himself in half, whereas the jedi is still trying to use his fast fluid dual-bladed style but is constantly having to flip and twist his saber in awkward positions because he now only has a single blade, leading to his eventual defeat. Not exactly sure it was intentional but its still really cool.
Darth Maul stunt actor was good but even though I know it is a twirly ridiculous back-spinning choreo'd stage fight, this was a little more believable and fun to watch than what was in the movies. Add the amazing sets and these guys would have stolen the show.
*guy dies, and then gets right back up:* "That's why he grabbed the red lightsaber at the end. The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... _unnatural."_
Can you imagine just how many times they had to practice how to, when to, and where to hit to make this duel look perfect?! They seriously have been likely practicing this duel since last year. Getting every movement, hit, dodge, swing, and death right. These guys seriously deserve Oscars for the choreography shown in this entire scene. Even though it’s “only” 1 minute. We’re seeing greatness at its finest. These kids have serious talent! Whether that talent is being Masters of the Jedi/Sith, or Masters of fencing.
when choreographing with lightsabers (both in the official movies and at the various "jedi academies" that exist IRL) they teach swordsmen to actually swing at the opponent, too, which makes exchanges look more realistic, but often results in getting hit with the lightsaber sticks, which can be painful! Samuel L. Jackson recalls getting swatted in the face and hands a few times practicing for the "darth sidious" fight, and said it hurts
Around 1:14 the try to disarm eachother and end up switching sabers. As a result, they both end up with weapons they're not used to. Yet, their fighting styles only slightly changed. The Jedi still posed like he had more saber than he did and the Sith still played heavily defensive as if he still didn't have much saber to protect him. They both seemed used to their previous fighting styles and only adapted the weapon into their original style designed for their old weapons instead of changing to a style that would better use said saber. F****ing brilliant.
I mean if they did you could easily say “wow the fact that they changed fighting styles means they’ve spent a lot of time mastering it and really shows how skilled they are at using different lightsabers”
You know this is like a dance, right? They trained this and already knew that they would eventually have to change weapons. As cool as it sounds, they had trained this before. But it's still amazing
That's the point, that they didn't choreograph it that way they both used both lightsabers perfectly, but chose to make it look like they weren't used to the other's weapon ;). That's a little bit more convincing.
i don't know ... when they hit down it goes too low to the ground so it's pointless... in real life you would attack to the legs or knees, but not to the ground that's too tipically coreographed move
@@fookinaye8277 How do you know jedi training isn't similar to capoeira? With all the acrobatic fighting in star wars it almost certainly looks similar.
This is giving me those amazing prequel duel vibes. The original trilogy fights were good, but rather slow paced. We aren’t going to talk about sequels, but the prequels have a perfect mix between fast paced and action packed while also being relevant to the story.
Imo, I think the prequel fights were so epic compared to the other trilogies because that was an era where there were more Jedi and Sith that actually were more practiced in lightsaber combat and ever since the Jedi Purge, most knowledge about Lightsaber combat and forms of combat were lost and thus no one really knows how to do epic fights anymore and are all just clumsily improvising.
"We aren't going to talk about the sequels" haha. The fact that a fan said this as a given and everyone else just accepted it is hilarious to me for some reason.
+Ken Pan And the lights complete the part when the swords don't touch or lack impact, those effects also are a good contribution, Damn they could still add more stuff to make this video like a movie
+Leonardo Gabriel I would have to agree, they could have put a letter box on it to add some filming aspects, but they should have went into after effects and made the lightsaber fx from there, but it would have took a while to do it.
Leonardo Gabriel I like how they light sabers flash the right amount of light to make it seem like they hit each other and also those sound affect were so good in those light sabers I just got one and I saw someone on TH-cam with one testing it out and it looks pretty cool
The Shadow Master does it actually make the good sound effects like it does in the video or is it just fake video where they added choreography and some cheap lightsaber bc I wad thinking about getting one but idk if this is choreography or not

@@jjlrdz Yes, that works for the fights of the new trilogy too. They're not as flashy as the ones in the prequel trilogy (nor should they be, these are still not Jedi at the peak of their art ), but they carry much more story and character stuff than the fights in the prequels.

Ill try spinning, thats a neat trick.
Although it's clearly coreographed and there are a lot of acrobatics, I think it's cool to see that there is actually very little overswinging and they are actually aiming at each other and not the swords
Every blow was literally directed to the body, I saw things like this before, when people that have the skills sign up for thise kindw of thing in festivals they actually fight to entertain, in a medieval festival it would be with swords that were non letal (basically not real) and whoever gets hit loses, at least I think it works like that.

Richard Powell I was confused af when they did that
Preach!
I really enjoy how they did that as well and if you pay close attention they each have a different fighting style when wielding the others weapon. The jedi was so adjusted to a staff weapon he was unsure of where to strike at his opponent while wielding the single hilt, while the sith instead of being elegant and nibble with the staff saber was more harsh and trying to batter his opponent into submission.
yet it's like blasphemy for someone to lose his lightsaber. So it was a stupid move also.

First thing to cross my mind when I saw their skill level.
@@ReportSubject I'd gladly go to such if they're was one around here... Gladly gladly gladly. Here's hoping popularity of it picks up 👍
I love how you can even notice differences between both fight styles, the double sabled one is way more aggresive while the one sabled one is more defensive and reactionary, this even stays true when they switch sabers
Interestingly enough, in one old legends novel Sith blademaster noted that saber-staff is better utilized as a defensive weapon rather than offensive one. He said that biggest potential of saber-staff is that it caughts it's opponents off-guard, because it's relatively rare sight and neither Jedi nor Sith know how to effectively defend against it.
It's built for pressure and constant aggression. Hence Juyo. Not all that different from real life forms of the same. It's defensive capability and offensive lie in the reach but the former less so, because its harder to maneuver and correct over extension. Rusty...is just well...lol. Ignore whatever that is.
The advantage of a dual-bladed lightsaber is having the ability of both defensive and offensive tactics. While your opponent is focused on one of you blades, you can get the jump on them with the other. While single bladed lightsabers need to be brought around to block every other strike, you can simply turn your dual-bladed one slightly to the left or right
I've also heard that there is some written material talking about the weakness of the double bladed style being that even with the reach and two blades you still have to bring it around to use both making it so its easier to read if you know where one of the blades is in relation to the other. I could actually see some of that in the fight where if you see one blade drop its easier to guess where the other one was coming around.
@@ErraticFaith it's all about getting a flow going that makes you dance with the weapon. It'd say its 50/50 weapon that takes advantage of whatever movements you can do with you body even more so when you start "rowing" in your motions with them they can easily create a huge area of denial once in motion

@@Voondubah switching your swinging stance while still going for the same spot as the last swing is a great way to throw your opponent off. Besides we usually only see people hitting in the same spots with power strikes, like Luke cutting off Vader's arm. I think it's a nice change!

You'd never get such a beautiful performance in a gun fight. These guys did great!
indeed, think about the damage, somehow getting cut by a lightsaber is personal, the strength from the hand of your killer is the thing that kills you, you die very near your attacker, with a blaster is impersonal, you fall flat dead in the ground far from the shooter, what kills you is the bolt fired from a chamber activated by a single finger.

By far the best Lightsaber duel by far.
I feel like this hits the balance between Original and Prequel light saber duels.
High action and fast paced but feels like it has weight.
Part of the reason why it feels like the blades have weight is because they actually do. These lightsabers use thick polycarbonate blades. The movie props used carbon fiber rods for their blades.
That being said, realistically a lightsaber blade wouldn't have much weight. The blade is essentially plasma contained in a magnetic field. You also wouldn't be bashing them around, as the blade would be able to do all the cutting work for you. Realistic lightsaber combat would be a lot like competitive fencing with a focus on reaching out and touching your opponent.

That behind the back move at 1:40 is absolutely insane
That move is very similar to what Anakin does vs Obi-Wan on Mustafar. He does a flourish (where the saber goes behind his back) and spins as he flourishes. The spin exposes his back to Obi-Wan, but the flourish blocks an attack from behind coming from Obi-Wan. It's a very advanced and technically impressive lightsaber parry.
@Thallanar Rabidtooth So it's like "Here's my back. Sike!"?
@@1994AustinSmith Yeah, pretty much. It's actually not a super effective move since it does expose you more than just keeping your guard in front. However, certain Lightsaber forms require you to twirl and spin a lot, so this kind of spin-flourish-parry action would fit perfect in those forms.

Man I wish we had this as an actual type of duelling competition or sport
I've watched this duel a few times through various re-uploads throughout its existence and I'm always astounded by just how it looks. The choreography is just perfect. One little easily missable detail is that after that incredibly fluid lightsaber swap, the duelists back off and fight much more defensively as they are both now using a fighting style that they don't know very much about. You can see that the sith doesn't use the dual-bladed saber nearly as frenetic and fluidly as the jedi and is much more cautious as to not accidentally chop himself in half, whereas the jedi is still trying to use his fast fluid dual-bladed style but is constantly having to flip and twist his saber in awkward positions because he now only has a single blade, leading to his eventual defeat. Not exactly sure it was intentional but its still really cool.
Its is wow

I can't see those details even after rewatching the video after reading your comment.

I love how whenever one of them turns the other kindly waits for them to finish instead of killing.
Can you imagine just how many times they had to practice how to, when to, and where to hit to make this duel look perfect?! They seriously have been likely practicing this duel since last year. Getting every movement, hit, dodge, swing, and death right. These guys seriously deserve Oscars for the choreography shown in this entire scene. Even though it’s “only” 1 minute. We’re seeing greatness at its finest. These kids have serious talent! Whether that talent is being Masters of the Jedi/Sith, or Masters of fencing.
when choreographing with lightsabers (both in the official movies and at the various "jedi academies" that exist IRL) they teach swordsmen to actually swing at the opponent, too, which makes exchanges look more realistic, but often results in getting hit with the lightsaber sticks, which can be painful!

This was The First Try
Imagine walking in the street and seeing this
@@FactsFromIssa well you can’t because it’s inside a building
They have the force.
Around 1:14 the try to disarm eachother and end up switching sabers. As a result, they both end up with weapons they're not used to. Yet, their fighting styles only slightly changed. The Jedi still posed like he had more saber than he did and the Sith still played heavily defensive as if he still didn't have much saber to protect him.
They both seemed used to their previous fighting styles and only adapted the weapon into their original style designed for their old weapons instead of changing to a style that would better use said saber. F****ing brilliant.
I mean if they did you could easily say “wow the fact that they changed fighting styles means they’ve spent a lot of time mastering it and really shows how skilled they are at using different lightsabers”
You know this is like a dance, right? They trained this and already knew that they would eventually have to change weapons. As cool as it sounds, they had trained this before. But it's still amazing
I'm pretty sure it's just part of the show lol
That's the point, that they didn't choreograph it that way they both used both lightsabers perfectly, but chose to make it look like they weren't used to the other's weapon ;). That's a little bit more convincing.
I have no idea what I just read but I love
The fact that this is choreographed but looks completely natural is incredible.
You can tell its all spectacle. That is not how someone would fight if the were trying to hurt their opponent.
i don't know ... when they hit down it goes too low to the ground so it's pointless... in real life you would attack to the legs or knees, but not to the ground that's too tipically coreographed move
some moves do feel fake, like the sweep around the beggining, but it's overall so fluid that realism is left second

This is giving me those amazing prequel duel vibes. The original trilogy fights were good, but rather slow paced. We aren’t going to talk about sequels, but the prequels have a perfect mix between fast paced and action packed while also being relevant to the story.
Exactly what we were going for!
Sequels duels just disrespected every lightsaber form
Imo, I think the prequel fights were so epic compared to the other trilogies because that was an era where there were more Jedi and Sith that actually were more practiced in lightsaber combat and ever since the Jedi Purge, most knowledge about Lightsaber combat and forms of combat were lost and thus no one really knows how to do epic fights anymore and are all just clumsily improvising.
"We aren't going to talk about the sequels"

+Leonardo Gabriel I would have to agree, they could have put a letter box on it to add some filming aspects, but they should have went into after effects and made the lightsaber fx from there, but it would have took a while to do it.
Leonardo Gabriel I like how they light sabers flash the right amount of light to make it seem like they hit each other and also those sound affect were so good in those light sabers I just got one and I saw someone on TH-cam with one testing it out and it looks pretty cool
The Shadow Master does it actually make the good sound effects like it does in the video or is it just fake video where they added choreography and some cheap lightsaber bc I wad thinking about getting one but idk if this is choreography or not
XxDarth RenxX well I've ordered one already but I didn't actually get it yet so I'll tell you what it's like when I get it ok
Can't believe theres like 10 person in the back watching... This was better than any fight scene of any of the star wars movie. Incredible, whish I saw that 8 years ago!!
It's been on my fyp at least ten times over the past 3 years
A well choreographed lightsaber duel is more a dance than a battle, and it’s truly beautiful.
Then that'd be gei because it'd be two guys dancing.
@@peteypete9357 I regret to inform you but that is not how being gay works
@@Cryptic_Diamond :c
@@Cryptic_Diamond I regret to inform you that it's exactly how it works
@@tibik.8407 I’m pleased to inform you that you are right
Without the edited music:
*clack* *clack*
Well.......even without the music is still better than the "fights" in the sequel trilogy.
@@jjlrdz Yeah because flippy shit is better than storytelling.
I mean, it's realy nice to look at and it's impressive. But by your standards, all the fight from the original trilogy are shit....
@@AcetylsaliciIique Not really.....I actually like the fights in the original movies, They have a deeper meaning...... Darth Vader Vs his old master, Luke vs Vader. They may not be so spectacular but they have almost philosophical meaning.
@@jjlrdz Yes, that works for the fights of the new trilogy too. They're not as flashy as the ones in the prequel trilogy (nor should they be, these are still not Jedi at the peak of their art ), but they carry much more story and character stuff than the fights in the prequels.
@@AcetylsaliciIique Man idk, I feel like Obi-wan vs Anakin had enough story and character stuff to it
This is what every 7 year old does on their backyard with a stick
In their imagination, it's just as intense and awesome as this video.
In reality, you see a kid in the backyard with a bucket on his head swing a stick up and down standing still lol.
i miss those days
Don't blame kids ı did too when ı was a little boi
7 year old? lol these are adults lol
ʌɨɗɑɳ or a 13 yr old
That was seriously one of the best lightsaber battle😮I have ever seen. You can tell they worked really hard on it.
