Can we talk about the amazing editing on the staff's crystal? I imagine it must have been a pain to track it so smoothly to the movement, though I don't know much about editing. This guy always has such an amazing level of detail, you can watch 100 times and still find something new!
I watched that thing the whole time very closely just trying to spot a flaw in its animation, wondering if it was CGI or real with the suspension wire edited out, and I couldn't. It was flawless.
My favorite thing about this is that the finger snap disappearance joke was so good that it literally could have been the end of the bit. But nope you pop back and follow it up with even funnier jokes.
In GW I have encountered one Jedi with a severe stutter (pleasant fellow), one inhuman thing that looked incredibly human but no human has a voice that deep (also pleasant but a bit freaky tbh) and yes, one wizard (we didn't really talk it wasn't my regular GW).
The first couple of times I watched this I didn’t notice the top of the staff. Wonderful visual effects! Especially when the staff falls. So much care and execution goes into a ABK video.
