As a child I thought this was the coolest thing I’d ever seen
Now I’m all grown up
And this is still the coolest thing I’ve ever seen
DIsney just HIRE THIS MAN GOSH DANGIT
🤣
I'm with you
@@ABozowithDignity They did.
Ryan did work on The Force Awakens
SAME, I'm 18 now but saw this when I was like 9 or 10, and it still holds up in 2022
I never get tired of hearing the glorious sounds of lightsabers humming and clashing
Its music to my ears honestly lmao
Even the actors agree with you.
Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen mentioned that, during the filming of the iconic duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin in RotS, they just *couldn't help* mouthing lightsaber noises during their fight.
I'm not sure what's the exact reason but in most of Star Wars fan-films lightsaber sounds are cheesy and corny, it's like they are too loud or misplaced. Here? Hell no, here everything sounds as it should. It's using these sounds to full potentiall. It's the best lightsaber duel not only in terms of visual and choreography but arguably in terms of sound too. My opinion hasn't changed in 8 years.
EBear More indeed
Jacek Matuszyk now,about 9 years
This is how I enjoyed the fandom of Star Wars back then, watching them make purely fun videos like this!
That is until they turned to the dark side and got more toxic and entitled and passionate to the point where it was at the expense of real life human beings.
@@arcticangel1628 not sure that's the case, maybe Disney just likes when that happens, so they can flail it around and cancel critics...
@@wampyrelli Criticism should be constructive and helpful. Not destructive.
@@wampyrelli You have no idea how much that is the case. Just look at how they treated the actors and filmmakers for the characters they played. Look what happened to Ahmed Best and Kelly Marie Tran.
@@arcticangel1628This also happened to Jake Lloyd as well (the child actor who played Anakin in the Phantom Menace).
10 years later, this remains the most epic lightsaber fight of TH-cam! Ryan, you're amazing!
Damn, it’s been 10 years?
I still prefer the Ryan V Dorkman fights :D
To this day, still an epic lightsaber duel!
Christian Maracle wow hey dude fancy seeing you here
Watch ferocity by blind wave
Christian Maracle agreed
*the most epic
Ello Mr. Maracle
How’s your trip to Vancouver been this far?
*Combines lightsabers to make a double bladed lightsaber*
The entire internet: hey, Thats pretty good!
zane stewart My guy was the Cal Kestis Before Cal Kestis
I do feel like it is overated when once you get 2 lightsabers you instantly stick them together but I think it's ok as long the lightsaber was originally a double one
in my opinion i think its stupid to not have a double ended lightsabre, as if you want to fight someone in a one sabre fight, just don't turn the other end on and being able to unscrew allows for mind games as you switch from staff, to dual wield, to single and back to staff, focusing on that can mess with a warriors mind.
if possible id like an inquisitorial type lightsabre as the spinning option is very helpful and you don't need to use it if not needed.
i love how the movies acknowladge its a superior weapon but have to make work around like characters saying stuff like "thats not the jedi way" and "it is the weapon of a dishonest warrior" or something like "evil people used it so i wont" its funny.
They’re called dualsabers. Darth Maul had a red one in The Phantom Menace.
@@PRESIDENT_LEMON The double bladed lightsaber is actually more limited than a standard lightsaber. It requires longer swinging motions and gives less range unless one blade is turned off.
Plus, by being connected, if your opponent is smart, they'll always know where the second blade is: it's on the opposite side of the current blade.
Disney with all that money and can't make a lightsaber duel that even comes close to this.
Facts.
True but this was overly choreographed, it was points when they could of easily killed each other but they stopped or attacked the saber, plus Disney already did, maul vs Ashoka, Ashoka vs Vader, maul vs the iqoursror
Jayglizzy x Gaming true but at least they TRIED to choreograph it. They obviously practiced a lot to get a good result. Also you might want to fix how you spelled inquisitor.
@@jayglizzyxgaming8812 whats funny is that those are animated and these are real people dueling, which means they have an absolutely insane disadvantage
Kai Paxton it doesn’t work like that
I love how well they designed the Red Shirt Dude's fighting style. He stays relatively calm throughout the entire fight, gracefully parrying, blocking, and counterattacking without much physical effort.
Can you imagine if Kylo Ren had fought like that?
And considering he wields a red lightsaber this guy is a sith
Fights with lightsabers from Star Wars.
Uses music from Iron Man.
Not gonna complain at all.
Yeah, this is big brain time
Well both are own by Disney so...
@@MrBonesYT ...it means it's canon
Thats weird😂
I am deeply saddened by the fact that two amatures in their literal garage for 8 years ago manages to create better lightsaber battles than Disney Star Wars. Kudos gentlemen, that was amazing!
I'm pretty sure these guys got hired by Disney for the TFA duel though
You’d be mad if it was like this cuz Rey “shouldn’t be able to fight like that”
@@CamiloCienfuegosStan that's the stories fault though, are people not allowed to criticize on how this fight would be complete and utter bullshit if rey managed to pull anything like it?
@@AngelReyes-kr4te it wouldn’t be bullshit tho is the point
@@CamiloCienfuegosStan buddy. It’s not just MaRey Sue over there. It’s the choreography in the sequels itself, it’s awful; especially when compared to the Prequels which came out 10 years beforehand. Or the OT, which came out 30 years beforehand.
Look, you’re right. Rey wouldn’t be able to fight like this when she just learned about the Force. I’m sorry, but that is no excuse for poor choreography. There have been plenty of fights beforehand between inexperienced duelists. Granted they were animated so it was easier to choreograph. But still. You have a net worth worth $97 billion and you still couldn’t pull off a good lightsaber duel.
2:26-2:38 Can we just appreciate the choreography!!!!!! Damn.
Most of it is just turning his balde
There are WAY cooler scenes
@@reptilesceptile1035 To each his own haha
@@reptilesceptile1035 It's more so the fluidity and the way Brandon's blade meets it throughout its path.
@@NoahHerman its still a good scene tho
12 years later... still the best, most epic lightsaber duel I've ever seen! Wish Star Wars would have had such class in duels. Best fight of all times!!
dude in red lowkey lookin like a younger fresher kylo ren
and manlier
Without rage issue
literally told their names just before the fight lol
And old luke
Being trained by Luke who somehow got his old lightsaber back and borrowed leias
December 2019 and this here ist the best fight in history of star wars...
Agreed
What's sad is this is better then the disney battles we been getting smh
There’s a better one that’s just come out, fan made
Safa Reibeling what is it? I really like this one so I want to see what could on par with this
Sandzyboy Hey Man, no problem. So it’s called Dark Jedi - by ‘urbanamadei’ TH-cam channel. About the same time but the battle in that one’s pretty good!
Still better than any lightsaber battle produced by disney
Ahsoka vs Maul
You got that right!
@@amon6560 that is the only exception. As well as Ashoka vs Vader
@@xavierhall185 ehm,ehm, ezra and kanan vs grand inquisitor in season finale, ezra and kanan vs vader, ahsoka vs inquisitors.
@@kamilgrunert1586 that last battle you mentioned is the one exception
It’s funny how this is a Star Wars film and has the iron man music playing in the background 😂😂
3:28
"No!"

Just like when cere was flicked away by ol’ annie usin 1% of his power
You would be wise to surrender
Six years later and STILL waiting on RvB3. Ryan's such an awesome filmmaker!!
Eight years
Nine years. lol
Ten years now…
Ten years and one month
10 years...I don't think we're getting it, lads :(
Please make more of these. I don't care how. I would pay to watch this kind of material. Your vfx and choreography are bar none. You are awesome!
10 years later, still enjoying it. epic work guys!
Blaster fire is red.
The Death Star is round.
It’s over Anakin,
I have the high ground.
Lol
Most under rated comment here.
Who needs Disney.. Lets just make our own star wars movies
hell yea
yeah bro
NO I DON'T THINK HARRISON AND MARK AND ALL THE GREATS WE NEED BILLY DEE CARRIE'S GONE SAM JACKSON EWAN FRANK HAYDEN NATILE
Snowflake much?
*Star Wars theory obviously agrees*
2.1k dislikes are people who are jealous that they can't do this kind of dueling.
Edit: 10 years later,still better than Sequel trilogy duel's
@@arizonarangerwithabigirono8738
Exactly
I REMEMBER THESE VIDEOS AS A KID OMG i was so obsessed with these videos and i finally found them again
See you guys in six years when this is in my recommended again
66 likes...
I shoudn't...
See ya
1 year, and it's in my reccomend
Hi
I'm back after this duel was playing in my head on repeat a few days ago... I honestly don't remember how old I was when I first watched
5 years later this is still one of the best lightsaber duels on youtube.
yup!
yep
yesssss
Watch the light saber duel at the world champion fencing, Russia!
Sounds like sumpthin I wanna see
Twelves years later, this, and the duels with Dorkman are still some of the best fanmade SW duels I've ever seen
Wish they would do a sequel to this one with 1 or more of the clones vs Brandon.
That one-take exchange at the end is what makes this the best duel if not best swordfight of all time.
Nobody, not even Hollywood, has ever filmed a sword sequence like that.
When fans make better lightsaber duels than Disney
Pd: I remember watching this when I was little
Yeah if you like the really choreographed kinda of stuff. And dont tell me the fight scene against the guards wasnt as good as this.
America Eagle the guard scene is trash
@@JoeBoe-kun For what reason?
@@RelativelyBest Finally someone with unbiased sense.
@@jackthegreek6092 Well, I try. :)
The part where he turned off the lightsaber was genius. The putting it against his head was just inspired, woulda been gritty as hell. Not to mention the entirety of this fight blew star wars choreography out of the water.
Ten years later, still better than most of the TH-cam duels.
That was SPECTACULAR!
Excellent use of the live hand, elbow strikes, takedowns and two saber rodondo.
Nothing in Star Wars movies rivals this except maybe the battle between Jinn, Kenobi and Maul.
After eight years and several LCC contests this and RvDM still sit at the top of my pedestal as the best fights online.
Coming back after more than 8 years and it's still the best choreographed fan-film I've ever seen.
Plus, I just realized that it uses the Iron Man soundtrack as background music which is both awesome and hilarious.
11 Years later and this lightsaber duel is still fantastic. Wish I was this good at dueling.
Out of all the starwars fan made saber duels, I love this channel the most. You guys don't pull much in your videos, but you guys indefinitely put time in your saber choreography which makes more realistic and what other fan made channels LACK! Make more please and teach these children hows its done!
Ryan you have to win ONE of these you know
+LegendKiller0084 Might have done it too if he had stabbed his opponent instead of force pushing at 2:41, still a good fight though
+LegendKiller0084 Well he did technically win the first Ryan vs. Dorkman, where he was a time lord and killed michael....
+LegendKiller0084 he won alex vs nate 2
hur uoer bur loute
Lord Revan buer buer jue
four years later and this is still the most epic lightsaber duel on the web.
Out of curiosity, Ryan Wieber is this all free style or are these actual forms of lightsaber combat?
I don't even know where you would look up "established" lightsaber "forms". Just like Nick Gillard said of the real movies, saber choreo is just a big blend of anything and everything. Any adherence to forms that somebody previously codified is entirely coincidental.
There are stances and certain movements depending on the are you look with the book of Jedi being the best bet but nothing concrete in terms of lightsaber forms the real question you should be asking is where can I donate to make R V B & D happen in the coming months
Ryan Wieber There are 7 forms of traditional lightsaber combat. Shii-Cho, Makashi, Soresu, Ataru, Shien/Djem-So, Niman and Juyo/Vaapad.
All 7 forms are unique in their own way and all Jedi specialise in 1 or several of these forms. Obi-Wan for example trained in Ataru whilst under the guidance of Qui-Gon (Very noticeable in Episode 1) and after his death opted for Soresu, the most defensive of the forms. Count Dooku was a Makashi user, the dueling based style, and Anakin was a Shien/Djem-so master, focusing on heavy power attacks and swift counters to the opponents blade.
In short, yeah there are predetermined lightsaber stances and styles and nearly all jedi/Sith follow one particular style
narutosneaky Indeed, and basically all forms are usable excluding Force-section from 'em of course.
For example I use Soresu mainly as I have to be kinda stationary in combat (I'm on wheelchair), but I adapt Shi-Choo attacks and flurrys on my offensive and mix some Makashi for exhausting duels.
Where for example my brother uses Shien and Djem-so (could say that also Vapaad as he gets so deep into the battle when he duels) basically all the time, runnin' and jumping and trying to overwhelm opponents before they can defend ;)
So yeah, they're usable and effective. (Tried against my friend who practices traditional swordsmanship)
Christina Black Ya, there's established forms from the SW universe, but I've never been able to track down what they actually look like. All I've found is text descriptions of them and their strengths/weaknesses.
However, if one were to extrapolate from existing martial arts in order to gain an idea of how to best use a lightsaber, your best bet would be to start with either Japanese Kenjutsu or European longsword fencing. Those swords are closest to the lightsaber: they are long-bladed, cutting AND thrusting, and they don't have much in the way of hand guards (why DON'T lightsabers have handguards anyways? XD).
I love how they’re not just using their lightsabers, they also use the environment around them.
One of the highest quality fan made light saber fights I've seen yet
3:36 it is at this moment, every time I see it, that I wish star wars and light sabers were a real thing. XD
@@kvellkevo4471 If Star Wars was real then so would Galaxy wide authorities be real as well. You think lightsabers are a common thing in the Galaxy. Each one must require a Force sensitive and if a non jedi is seen publicly wielding it they are reported to temple authorities on Coruscant.
@@aryansingh2459 There's an artifact that allows non force sensitive to become a force sensitive. I just forgot which sithlord made it 🤔 all I remember is that he was never defeated in battle, because he lived so long that he at the end died of old age.
@@pizza_pizza_1695 don't forget about the darksaber
The ending explains how Ryan always comes back.
It's 2022 and I still watch these videos. So well choreographed and shot.
Your films are a major inspiration for my entire career on youtube and will always respect you’re ambition. Travis , Ryan, dork man, Brandon, all of you are so big and responsible for the pillars of early youtube! Thank you so much
4:23
"This is getting out of hand! Now there are THREE of them!!
1:35 he literally used the forbidden turning off the lightsaber technique xD
Only forbidden for jedi, sith love doing sneaky stuff like that!
Darth Treya was a master of that technique. It's extremely advanced most sith would avoid it due to how dangerous it was if Done wrong
@@GreaterGrievobeast55But I thought that even the Sith frowned upon the use of Trakatta, for they saw it as weak and cowardly. 🤔
10 years ago, you guys set the standard for fan made lightsaber duels. And it is a very high standard!
Maaaan, it's been YEARS since I first watched it. This is one of those videos that made me want to study VFXs... but back then my PC was trash too. Even after all these years this video is still brilliant!
Imagine this video being made 8 years ago and people in December 2019 are watching this
February 2020 now

Greetings from February 2024
This is by far the most impressive duel on TH-cam! BEST PART: 2:23
...in honor of my Jedi Shadow character on SWTOR
12 years now... and it still gold
when 5 minutes of two dudes is better than three whole movies by disney
Here's a challenge for ya Ryan. Make one where you, Brandon and Mike (Dorkman) all fight free for all. Nerdgasm
That was the best fan made TH-cam thing I have ever seen. Great music, Choreography, and even little story built in, with great dynamics with the changing swords, switching to 2 blades then double bladed, and all the non lightsaber combative moves . Great effects as well. 5 star video, even with your millions of view, still underrated, definitely in the spirt of a true Star Wars duel, Closer than many other fan made duels videos
Yeah, and I like that you pointed it has a lot of non-lightsaber fight moves. Like, the punches, and especially when Brandon (red shirt) runs at Ryan *without* a lightsaber and they push fight it out. Very creative!
When I was little I thought this video had the best lightsaber FX, today I can't understand how this video can STILL be the one with the best lightsaber FX.
This masterclass will never get old
The best use of duel wielding I have ever seen. Also I love Brandon’s use of djem so. Might’ve not been intentional but it was fantastic to watch
@1:55 "You Fool, I have Trained in the Jedi Arts by Count Dookuuu..."
Hello there!
Better than actual Star Wars fights.
It's completely original fight, but it's not better than Obi-Wan vs. Grievous, Obi-Wan vs. Vader (On Mustafar) - simply all fight from Prequels.
Jiří Studnička Obi-Wan vs. Grevious fight would have been much better if it was longer. Kenobi just disarmed his opponent almost instantly and the conclusion of this fight wasn't very spectacular since Grevious was shot instead of having been killed with a lighsaber.
Better than any thing episodes 4-6 had to offer. But not as good as any thing from episodes 1-3.
Azrael095 Don't forget, he was weakened by Windu which was why he was coughing throughout the movie.
I so agree with you man. I love seeing people from around the web make their own star wars light saber fights for some reason. So much cooler
I used to watch these when i was younger and they blew me away.....they still do
Timeless I first saw his videos maybe about 14 or 15 years ago. This is better than what you get on the movies.
Ryan Clones vs Dorkman and Brandon

I'd always wondered why they'd never had anyone turning their light sabre off in the middle of a clinch [1:39] and then turn it back on again. It's one of the unique elements of a sword that can be turned on and off to make it a different kind of sword fight. Kudos for doing it.
Me to.
One thing however I always wondered ( that hasn't been done so far, as far as I know): Why not building kinda a hidden blaster mechanism into the bottom of a one sided lightsaber?
That is actually technique in the starwars universe to turn on a saber in the middle of strike then turn it on again after you have bypassed a enemies block.
evan stokely
Yeah, you can clearly see that tecnique being utilized in the Star Wars: The old Republic's 2011 cinematic trailer
And this is called Tràkata ;)
These homemade starwars battles were always amazing the attention to detail when they hit an object and it sears through I LOVE ITTT❤❤❤
12 years later and this still holds up extremely well. The amount of time, effort, and skill that went into making these is incredible and each one of them is a masterpiece in their own right.
*Stay tuned for "Ryan vs. Brandon 3: Attack Of The Wieber Clones!"*
Robin Hood One can dream
4:02 let us all remember the first time we saw this and thought: shit! Ryan has killed him! XD
These Ryan Vs. ___ were my jam back in my younger days. You guys should be very proud of how well these aged, they look fantastic and they are still some of the absolute best pieces of lightsaber choreography ever made. Thanks for making a very special part of my childhood and I hope you guys are doing well wherever you are
12 years later still the best lightsaber fight on the web
Star Wars Fan Film with Iron man Music 😂😁👍👍👍
True af
This is a classic. Unmatched, unbeaten, a masterpiece defying time.
Nearly a decade later and this fight still slaps
9 years of awesomeness
still the best lightsaber duel
Like to agree.
These duels are better than the duels in the movies.
3:28 the first ever attempt at ending your opponent rightly
TheGinginator14 i
But there is no pommel! but I get it.
The whole video is just amazing: beautiful choreography, edition, even the sound desing and the lightsabers itself are just impeccable.
But with 3:36... Ooof, now you're just showing off and I love it! Sends chills down my spine everytime.
Now i remember why this was my fav video on the platform when I was younger...
You know, I’ve been watching these ever since I was 10 years old maybe & I LOVE how these guys just ROCK the plain tee shirt style every time haha!
Someone get these guys in touch JJ Abrams, stat!
UNREAL! That was fantastic!
Dope
Have you seen Ryan's IMDB page? He has tons of stuff under his belt and has already worked at Lucas Arts. Perhaps he will be lead compositor for Episode 7.
Yep it was these videos got them work in the VFX industry. Wieber works on The Walking Dead adding digital zombies. Lucky bastard!
john mellor I don't mean to be rude about him, but does that mean that he does better in Lightsaber duels? Cos the guy's lost every duel on TH-cam he's been in.
eight years later and this is still the best lightsaber fight i’ve watched on youtube
11 years later and it’s still mandatory is watch this vid annually
Absolutely amazing guys! Fantastic job! Would love to see some more.
Han pasado 8 años desde la vez que yo vi éste vídeo y me sigue pareciendo de los mejores que hay en youtube 👌🏻
I'm watching this 6 Years after the release, this brought me back to childhood and, this is the most epic lightsaber duel on TH-cam and It reminds me the good old time, still really Nice to watch.
11 years later and this still goes hard. The duel blades at 2:26 was probably the best work I've scene for a dual blade. Solid amount of speed for offense and defense. Very well done 👏👏👏
April 22,2020. This is still the best lightsaber duel to date!
brandon looks like kylo ren
came for this ^^
+iDrenn Yeah but he fights like Anakin.
+GT Mike91 lol
+GT Mike91 well seeing as how Kylo Ren models himself after Darth Vader, and Darth Vader IS Anakin Skywalker...
Nicholas Seaks This came out WAY before Episode 7, like 4 years and 5 months before. Technically he's fighting like Anakin, he even has certain movements and attacks that practically mimic Anakin's from his duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Look at the video date dude.
If They make a episode 3 I'm Literally telling everyone
And It's going viral
Did you?
I can't believe it took me 12 years to finally see this. This fight was amazing!
Oh my god, I was 12 when I first watched this! In my 20s now!!! And it’s still the coolest saber fight on TH-cam. Why couldn’t disney make anything this epic?
This looks like Kylo Ren vs Young Obi Wan 😂
Well if you’ve Battlefront...
Young Kylo Ren VS Mid Ep 1 and 2 Obi Wan
Easily still the gold standard for LCC. I can't help but come back to watch from time to time.
This Should've been the fight between Rey And Kylo
man really enjoyed this right out the gate high energy nonstop action and the ending blew my mind keep up the good work
Man and to think what they would be able to do with a few millions for making an actual movie.
Wolfbane_41 seriously. I want a fully funded Star Wars movie by them. Even if it’s a short film.
Still the best lightsaber video on youtube
Wow one of the best duels out there. These two definitely did not hold back, as evidenced by the hyper aggressive style at play. The industrial setting also amped up the stakes, great to see them using it. Twists were also great two. The scene at the end is also a fantastic; we want more!
Epic!
Just got this in my recommended and instantly remembered when it came out.
One of the best fan made lightsaber duels I have EVER seen on youtube! Great video Ryan
RIP Ryan, for the third time
Bruhticus 4th. He died in both fights with Dorkman and both fights with Brandon. I don't care what anyone says about his first fight with Dorkman, Ryan died.
@@tannerlowrie8084 Yet he really won in the end because of his Clones ;)
well 11 years later and still watching and loving it.
