Lol, just randomly searched “lightsaber duels” and found this video again. Now I hear another one is coming?! Great to hear. Great work on this vid, btw!
@@MT-UK I agree too, but I wonder if it was too intense, because at 3:28 Vader pushes OLD obiwan to a metal wall and SURVIVED. Is that even possible in the starwars universe?
In the making of the originals, George Lucas talked about how he wanted light Saber fights to resemble Kendo sword fights. So thats why it looks so boring in the OG. He thought of the Jedi as a kind of Samurai.
@@sillyking1991 It was mostly because the actors Alec Guinness (Obi Wan) and David Prowse (Suit of Vader) were already "old" (mid-life) without any specialized training (they were average humans, not super fit actors)... not to mention Prowse was in a big, bulky, heavy suit with limited mobility. Had less to do with the actual props
@@derekhudson3415 Sure, that's why he made the prequels the way he did. The fight was so lame due to older actors not in pristine health (Prowse was born in 35 and Guinness was born in 38, making them 39 and 42 at the time. Not "Old" but too old for fancy tricks having not been trained professionally for fancy tricks), expensive props, Vader's heavy and low-mobility suit, and a STRICTLY low-budget and poor special effects for 1977. (ironically, having the low budget for special effects required innovations that were FAR superior to higher-budget films and revolutionized how special effects were done to this day)
@@okreply5402 bro you gotta complete the [Mustafar death] achievement it is to get all your limbs cut off and catching on fire, and surviving you can do it yourself actually
I had this old book about all the lightsaber fights in Star Wars. The original was the one that this scene remastered was the only one that was labeled as "Legendary". So of course at the time, the amazingly choreographed and beautifully scored Duel of the Fates was only "Notable", which really irritated me. They didn't even do much in the original fight, they just kinda stood there, and touched lightsabers. If they were gonna choose one fight to make legendary, they could've chosen a much better fight, but if it had been a lot more like this I would've had fewer complaints.
For real, I hate the copium people huff cause of Rebels making up some bs about how lightsaber blades are drawn to each other. The prequel choreographers just wanted flashy over practical, but this fight knows what's up
Not to mention the attention to detail in the actual fighting styles. Vader couldn’t lift his arms above his head without extreme difficulty, and loved overpowering his opponents. It was either Mace or Yoda, but one of them referred to Obi as a true master of the defensive style and likely the best living master of it. (type 2 I believe); and that showed here, a style that is designed to make it seem like the user is struggling and exerting themselves far more than they actually are, leading to the opponent tiring themselves out as they attempt to quickly bring down a foe they incorrectly believe is on his last leg.
@@Kylian.aep7 that’s it! I knew he and Dooku were side by side in number! Dooku’s style was also designed to let the opponent over exert themselves, much like obi, which is why that fancy fencing fuck always took out Obi quick and not with a saber, because he knew he didn’t have the stamina to play that kind of long sword fight at his age. I could have googled this or looked at the like 4 books I own that say this… but I didn’t!
@Dreamstate You should either read, or listen to the novelisation, that will help But to be fair, anyway considering themselves even half a fan should read/listen to the novelisation of ALL the movies, even, and maybe especially the newer ones They can all be downloaded from piratebay or similar if you dont want to shell the cash, because as with _almost_ every movie, the books are 10x better
The swing at 2:33 was awesome. Due to his mechanical limbs he had to seriously modify his fighting style to be more conservative but every strike was a powerful killing blow. This swing definitely embodies that idea.
Anakin's life as a Jedi was during a time of war, and he accordingly learned to go for the kill when fighting (much to the shock of the order's masters who still saw themselves as peacekeepers). An approach that served him well when he became an angry cyborg tasked with beating the galaxy into submission.
@@telebread1416 The height has nothing to do with the elevation of the ground, you're standing on. Even if the ground way only slightly shifted, kenobi would have had the highground and would have won. (This is a joke btw)
@@Downsy882 Lucas had. He had the whole thing planned out from Ep 1 - 6. But technological constraints prevented him from doing ep 1 - 3 in the late 70s... Since he never knew if it would be possible at any point in time, he did not make much of fuzz about it back then...
They had Anakin scream "I hate you!" in the direction of Vader. They had Obi Wan screaming "You were my brother Anakin, I loved you!". Seeing as it was the same voice yelling "You were the chosen one!" at Vader, I bet people woulda known it was Obi Wan yelling. Now if they would have realized that he meant Vader, or Anakin, was supposed to be the Chosen one, that's another story.
@@DerSpeggn That's not true. There are multiple stories of them doing re-writes. For instance, in Return of the Jedi, they talked about making Luke's sister a new character, but then switched it out for Leia in the name of simplicity and tying up loose ends. Also: Luke and Leia smooching a couple of times feels weird if they were always twins. I totally buy that Lucas had more planned out in terms of backstory, but I don't believe for a second it was as mapped out as he likes to claim. I'll believe that when I believe J.J. Abrams had Lost mapped out beginning-end.
No this version wouldn't work in the original A New Hope. It is a fascinating well done work those guys did, very well executed and feeling for details indeed! But it wouldn't work since the idea of having Obi and Vader being older and therefore not as agility as they where when they where young is shown clearly in the original one. It is also displayed in ESTB and RTJ. This master piece of re-make is and will only exist in the imaginary and soul of the makers and the awed viewers ( I am one of them), but it wouldn't just work in the original film, sorry. I can try to give an explanation. This remake has the "fight" we've seen before: its fast, its cool and its brutal. That one on its own works pretty fine! But in the original movie, it was more than that. It was about an old master meeting an old student, and the weight in the scenes are precisely just that: they are older and therefore slower, which gives the depth and leaves the viewer with the though and imaginary how they where as younger. It has a certain touch to it, thats why I think this version wouldn't work in the original film.
@@rahh-dunk dayum, i wish i can see what is going on, i wish these jedi MASTERS can do something more than wait for the signal to junp in by the director. But you know what, its subjective, be my guess if you enjoy the fight, its personal opinion after all
And Vader has such a cocky fighting style, slashing without looking, turning his back to Obi-wan, he's like Anakin was in movie 3. It's amazing that they matched the tone of the characters to the fight choreography as well as tapped the full potential of force masters fighting.
Presence, they chose Vader as a 6 foot 6 bodybuilder (prowse) to give him presence, shame you don't get to see this kind of thing really I think it's partly the ricochet that does it, in the film's lightsabers act a bit like magnets- once they hit, they "stick"
@@threnn9509 "Anikan" EDIT: to all the idiots who comment without reading. I was QUOTING a misspelling that has been made by someone else. You would know that if you understood the meaning of the Double Quote character.
@@mberg1215 lol Sorry right now in Total War Rome 2 match with my friend and he just ask me why I'm not finishing my turn which is why I was a little bit brain AFK when writing this comment.
Yeah, this fits in with the lore better too. At this point in the timeline, Darth Vader had been in so many lightsaber duels during the clone wars and purge that in the EU, it was generally accepted that he had become the greatest lightsaber duelist to ever live. The only reason Luke was able to survive his duels with him was that Vader was never interested in killing him.
Then there was Ahsoka who said she wouldn't leave him, and Ezra snatched her from another plane of reality. Vader forefeits revenge outta confusion lol
@@Oxnate I thought this question was silly until I actually tried to define it and found out how hard it is to define. So rest assured this is a very legitimate question. The best way I could define it is something that is officially recognized as part of the true story of a fictional universe.
@@franziskanerweissbiersfasf8145 No not really, Vader had lost to obi wan before on mustafar almost killing him. Now he's very cautious and maybe somewhere even a bit scared/hesitant to duel with his old master again as to not suffer another defeat. He knows full wel what obi wan is capable of
@@brentmeyers9657 yes but the amount of anger Vader had against Obi Wan at this point was immeasurable. So the aggressive fighting style here is fitting perfectly
I like how Obi Wan is clearly trying his normal defensive, wait for an opening style too, only for it to Vader to pretty much muscle through it with his force powers and raw strength.
This was the most violent emotional light saber fight i have ver seen. It felt “real” somehow. I never realized every other light saber fight I’ve seen was just really cool and theatrical. This was awesome and terrifying
@@CoreyMack5000 well, what do you expect? He has lost literally everything he’s disabled. Now he’s lost his wife, his kids and now he’s just a miserable man. He’s made bad decisions and is a whipping boy of his boss really I would be pissed too tremendously and when you see them fight, you can see the pain in the anguish in the way they’re fighting and my heart hurts for both of them that they have to do this to each other for Obi-Wan Kenobi to prove a point to Anakin Skywalker or should I say Darth Vader
Vader using his fists and the environment made it seem like a real fight, it was not choreographed for the lightsabers, no fancy backflips etc just two dudes with a long history fighting tooth and nail.
@@KimBailey-w2g Vader has a sad tale even up to this fight - Obiwan taunted him saying his death would only make him stronger, in turn helping Luke become stronger as a force ghost. Then Obiwan clearly lets his guard down allowing Vader to let him transcend, Obiwan's love for anakin truly died when he realized there was only Vader left, very sad story.
@@Negan-lo7yr yeah but I took a woman’s love to bring back Aniken back from the Darkside in the Throne room on the second death star because there was a lot of Padme in Luke Skywalker, his son, and that was the redemption that Aniken needed, and since Anakin was the chosen one, not Ray, and you can see when you watch the original trilogy of Star Wars, that the seeds of his redemption is starting to brew when he finally found out that his son lived in when Palpatine was starting to kill Luke with force lightning, that’s when Aniken finally came out of Vader and Aniken finally was redeemed when he gave the emperor, the shaft, and when he died on the second death star in the hangar bay, while his son held him for the very last time that’s when Aniken found peace before he was called upon to be the father in the mortise ark and we saw him in the world between worlds, teaching Asoka her very last lesson to becoming who she truly needs to be
@@CemGurel-xb3quThe final fight between them in the Kenobi series has a lot of that. It makes me wonder if the showrunners took this fan video as inspiration.
@@superslayerguy E7 1.9 b E8 1.3 b E9 1b+ (even beaten by movies like Captain Marvel) Solo was even the first ever movie with a loss. They slowly killing it that way. As Trekkie I could say: so what?! But Star Trek has also fallen in the hands of Abrams and Co.
It’s insane!! The amount of force that Vader puts into EVERY single strike can be felt deep! NEVER before have I been intimidated by Darth Vader like this! Awesome job guys!
While a lot of the dialogue is in the prequels are pretty bad and try to hard to be Shakespearean or something like that There are some really good lines of dialogue, that being one of them
We can see in this edit that Vader is fighting to kill and Obiwan is fighting to buy time for Luke and co. Obiwan knows he is outclassed but continues to defend defend defend, until he sees that Luke is ready to escape. That vibe couldn't be seen before - it just looked like two girls play-fighting.
Which is essentially what happened in their fight on Mustafar, just there wasn't quite the power gap between Obi and Anakin as there was there, and Obi didn't get so lucky lol
That's Obi-Wan's fighting style, soresu. Very effective against Sith, they get so deep in their rage and emotion, that they're more focused on destroying the opponent than defending themselves, and that's when he attacks. That's how he could've beaten Vader here.
Its better than Disney because while still fantasy it remains somewhat grounded, and features characters well written characters you can legitimately care about.
@Konkar The Legendary Badger Also please share it to be viewed on their channel so they get credit for video. Link it to your page too. This is brilliant. Probably watched this 100+ times. Something if sabers were real I'd use on so called back stabbing friends, lmao 😂😂😂
@Konkar The Legendary Badger Yes ☺ that's my real name. Are you inquiring about DOKKEN or Don Dokken? Dokken being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland Ohio 2020 My Twitter account is @kristendokken69 Are you a Fan???
Originally the fight was baced off of traditional samurai fighting styles but changed throughout the trilogy. that is why it looks so weird compared to the rest of the fights in the trilogy
This is by far the best lightsaber fight I have ever seen. It doesnt look like a choreography, it looks so raw and aggressive, way better than the original.❤️
Actually, Anakin was faster and had more finesse. Vader's style is heavier and more direct because the suit has mobility issues, but amplifies his strength.
T Prime Very true. The heaviness and anger in his swings just reminded me a lot of Anakins duel with Dooku on Geonosis and eventually obi wan on Mustafar.
T Prime acktuashlyy... when anakin is angry in both movies and animated series his swings become heavy, ruthless aggressive swings as he loses his finesse due to losing control of his emotions.
@@ereynolds72 actually, actually is spelled "actually"- not "acktuashlyy". You clearly were very angry when you wrote that, you lost all your control amd finesse.
@@pugilistspecialist70 Actually, it was a play on the meme of how the nerd will always interupt with "actually" like the one I replied to did. Sorry you ddint get the joke hombre
Sunday June 29th, 2024 at 11:35 P.M. This is still one of the top 5 fan made Star Wars contributions of all time. I still go back and forth between this and Vader Shards of the Past, Vader 2 Mace Windu Returns, Shadow of the Republic and X-Wing. Star Wars SC 38 Reimagined recreated the scenes perfectly with compelling emotions. Awesome work.
@@johnl6176 it has been a really long time since I have seen the movies...but I thought Anikin believed the babies were dead or something along those lines. I could be wrong too
We see him in his young age but I always wished to see him fight like this now ive seen this i wonder how luke would’ve stood a chance against vader on cloud city
There's something oddly satisfying about seeing Vader move so fluidly. EDIT: yes I know he isn't SUPPOSED to move quickly and smoothly and fluidly. That's why I said "ODDLY satisfying"
5 years later and those few minutes are still better than 80% of Disney SW. It's got the style down, the characters and what the fan wants to see. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I saw it in '77 and I didn't like this version. It doesn't show, in fact contradicts the idea that Obi intended on sacrificing himself and had no intention of actually killing Darth. You kids are so ignorant about the how the plot works within the movie. SMH
@@squirlmy Yea but it could make sense if Obi Wan had been stalling for luke then it would make sense for the fight to be longer. The new generation of star wars fans aren't against you. We understand the plot. Don't over think it
I was a kid, like 6 years old, at the time (1977) and I remember how scary Vader was as you see him in the movie. Seeing him like this would have been terrifying! The Vader I remember was generally calm and very intimidating. This Vader for more malevolent!
Obi-wan: Apprentice, looks like you still have much to learn. Darth Vader: I'm sorry, my master, but there is no high ground to save you this time. Obi-wan: Oh, are you sure about that? (Kenobi takes out a stool and stands on it) Obi-wan: It's over, Vader. I still have the high ground. Darth Vader: ...I hate you
Lost Halo without the original scene we wouldn’t see the Star Wars we like. I love that scene as clumsy as it was it had backstory for a self contained film.
HOPELESS Ent. This idiotic argument can be applied to defend serial killers, it doesn’t change the fact how terribly the scene was thought through and shot in the original sw
@@danielamaral2867 Yeah about that... Kenobi's weakness was form 2 and interestingly Vader had started using form 2 after Mustafar to compensate for his mobility issues. So he's supposed to use form 2 along with other forms, here.
Too bad they didnt have the technology back then to do it. The lightsabers they used in episode IV were sticks coated in foil that rotated so they needed a battery pack and a wire which was heavy and tricky to use without exposing the wire plus you couldnt hit them together too hard or theyd break/stop rotating. On top of that the scene had to be edited frame by frame to add even more glow and not on a screen but on physical plastic spools of film with hand tools
whoever made this needs some kind of award. i remember waiting for and watching episode 1 etc, thinking how amazing the lightsabre battles were. if only the originals were that good, you answered my will to the force
One of the cool things about this duel is that every swing from Vader looks like it is intended to take Obi-Wan's head off. There is nothing overly flashy about this. Vader is truly trying to kill his opponent
Not sure but when he throws his sword and it's stuck in the wall he let it cut horizontally so that there is room to escape below. An absolut ruthless one would have cut diagonally to finish it there. Not saying that this fight is anything but amazing! ^^
Large amount of form 5 in Vader, very open movements with an aggressive style focused on offense. I think that’s how he would’ve fought when meeting Obi Wan.
4:43 It is always those moments. That changes a individual to their true potential; moments where people create their own nightmares out of those they pretended to love. They loved what they thought you would be; what they hoped you would be. Not realizing what it does to you. The guilt of your fall rest on your shoulders for entertaining others delusions. The pain, the agony, the betrayal. They realize your realization. That they are the source of your torturous torment. Then they see you as a monster of their own guilt and failure. Poetic how they create their own monster, from their own misguided actions an feelings. For where Love an hope is sowed. So is hate and despair.
I’m showing my wife the entire Staw Wars universe, she doesn’t know anything prior. I am slapping this scene instead of the original (I’ll show the original later). This is SO good! The type of manoeuvres I missed, there is so much intention behind every attack, it’s so satisfying!! Thank you
then you must be young. masters wouldn't move like that. they would use less movement and more precise techniques when attacking and defending. Obi Wan said to Luke "I'm getting to old for this sort of thing" and he walks around like he's well, old. and then you want people to believe out of know where he's going to fight like he's 19? lol
Best Fan Special edition, or whatever!! Crazy awesome! I've been in The Film industry for 24 years, Lighting, Camera, Editing, Directing, All of it!! So I know how this is done, and that is a Masterpiece!! Well Done!!

They would’ve been like “wow the tone of this family friendly space adventure film sure has changed. I wonder why we’re spending so much time with these two characters and not the main character. Wait why are these guys so important again? I thought he was just distracting Vader so the actual important people can escape. Why is the camera moving so much now? Why did the music turn so dark for no reason? What’s happening? Where’s the innocent swashbuckler i was just watching?” *leaves theater in confusion*
Man Kenobi really is the ultimate troll. Vader’s been waiting 19 years for revenge. The time arrives and when he FINALLY lays that death strike, he gets nothing but empty robe.
Obi Wan on Mustafar: "What do you call a man with no arms and no legs that is catching on fire? Burns. What do you call a man with no arms and no legs that was on fire? Ash." Anakin: "I hate you!"
They would be floored for most of it, except when we hear their younger voices in a sort of flaskback they would be slightly confused. Although, it would come full circle even more with the ending of episode 3.
Exactly! Remember, Vader waited 20 years for his revenge against Obi-Wan - revenge for destroying his body; revenge for turning Padme against him and - atleast according to Vader - leading him to kill her too. You would think that Vader wouldn't hold back at all once he meets Obi-Wan against, and here we see it in this scene. While the original was still great if it was in a standalone film, I think this scene fits much better in the complete trilogies of Star Wars. Of course, the irony that you get to see in this scene is that Luke, Padme's son, gets to watch Vader go all out at Obi-Wan for supposedly killing Padme and their children (indirectly). Though, I suppose Vader can still get revenge for getting mangled and nearly left to be a pile of burning ash on Mustafar.
* Darth Vader makes the saber cut deep into the wall * Palpatine: Why can't I turn on the TV? Edit: the fanboys are angry with the joke only because palp wasn't in the Death Star 💀
@@EldianDevil66 Excuse me, BOTH genders, you should no tjere are far far more, how dare you even try to place a cap on the number of gemders there are /s
@ Matthew Kafal, lmao you’re right. I’ll just say the “rainbow of genders” from now on to include the spectrum of sexes as stated by Bill nye the science guy. I just wish someone is paying me to say that like him/her/rainbow of genders
Uh, the audiences _were freaked out_ by the entire movie. They had never seen anything like it. But this “reimagining” is not new and fresh, it’s just an attempt to make a truly revolutionary film look like three rather mediocre ones.
I love the fact that Darth Vader literally started the battle weilding his saber with both hands. In most battles I see him in, he usually just uses one. He knew from the start that Obi-Wan (old age and all) was still a formidable opponent.
i feel like he is trying to scare him with his new but limited power, you can tell he is trying but I almost feel as if he wants to scare obi wan then kill him with a crazy killing blow after wearing him (obi wan) out. I dont see darth vader taking the time that he did to kill obi wan when he has fought much more powerful opponents like star killer for longer. I do like though that obi wan is still putting up a fight, this was beautiful. Vader was unleashing everything as almost trying to prove to obi wan what he tried to do on mustafar, wearing him out then killing him with a huge blow.
Hes stance is usually Two hands, he doesnt like exposing hes life support But When he duels he uses makashi(one handed) and djem so mixed with form 1. He doesnt have much dexterity But hes reach and djem so strikes could easily disarm a prepared jedi knight. He’s in excruciating pain using those lightsaber forms so he’s Main preference is to choke you outright or to hurl objects at you constantly.

Death was the high ground, the chosen one got away.
When you think about it, heaven is the ultimate high ground
The swing at 2:33 was awesome.
Due to his mechanical limbs he had to seriously modify his fighting style to be more conservative but every strike was a powerful killing blow. This swing definitely embodies that idea.
Yeah that whole section up to the scene cut is my favorite part of this. It has a great mix of the OT deliberate pacing, with the Prequels' flash.
Right! Litterally went for a decapitating strike 😂
Anakin's life as a Jedi was during a time of war, and he accordingly learned to go for the kill when fighting (much to the shock of the order's masters who still saw themselves as peacekeepers). An approach that served him well when he became an angry cyborg tasked with beating the galaxy into submission.
Kenobi is the greatest Jedi tbh imagine having to fight Vader
@@timesupea and surviving multiple encounters!
The moment you realize that the Death Stars floor was flat, meaning Kenobi couldn’t get the high ground
And vader is taller
@@telebread1416 The height has nothing to do with the elevation of the ground, you're standing on. Even if the ground way only slightly shifted, kenobi would have had the highground and would have won. (This is a joke btw)
No wonder why he lost.
The death star was specifically designed by Vader to avoid that very outcome.
Some Guy
Sidious: So we have this ramp-
Vader: No. it must be flat.
Sidious: What? Why?
Vader: ....... I have a feeling.
This actually feels like a rematch between Kenobi and Anakin
right?i bet george lucas would love this if he saw the fan reimaging
It honestly is
Honestly this fight is my new canon.
It literally is dude
A weaker anakin and obi wan
Imagine seeing this in the original star wars movie and hearing "you were the chosen one!"
That would be so mysterious
Holy shit imagine if they had the prequels already planned they could have easily put more Shit in there like that
@@Downsy882 Lucas had. He had the whole thing planned out from Ep 1 - 6. But technological constraints prevented him from doing ep 1 - 3 in the late 70s...
Since he never knew if it would be possible at any point in time, he did not make much of fuzz about it back then...
They had Anakin scream "I hate you!" in the direction of Vader. They had Obi Wan screaming "You were my brother Anakin, I loved you!". Seeing as it was the same voice yelling "You were the chosen one!" at Vader, I bet people woulda known it was Obi Wan yelling. Now if they would have realized that he meant Vader, or Anakin, was supposed to be the Chosen one, that's another story.
@@DerSpeggn That's not true. There are multiple stories of them doing re-writes. For instance, in Return of the Jedi, they talked about making Luke's sister a new character, but then switched it out for Leia in the name of simplicity and tying up loose ends.
Also: Luke and Leia smooching a couple of times feels weird if they were always twins.
I totally buy that Lucas had more planned out in terms of backstory, but I don't believe for a second it was as mapped out as he likes to claim. I'll believe that when I believe J.J. Abrams had Lost mapped out beginning-end.
No this version wouldn't work in the original A New Hope. It is a fascinating well done work those guys did, very well executed and feeling for details indeed! But it wouldn't work since the idea of having Obi and Vader being older and therefore not as agility as they where when they where young is shown clearly in the original one. It is also displayed in ESTB and RTJ. This master piece of re-make is and will only exist in the imaginary and soul of the makers and the awed viewers ( I am one of them), but it wouldn't just work in the original film, sorry.
I can try to give an explanation. This remake has the "fight" we've seen before: its fast, its cool and its brutal. That one on its own works pretty fine! But in the original movie, it was more than that. It was about an old master meeting an old student, and the weight in the scenes are precisely just that: they are older and therefore slower, which gives the depth and leaves the viewer with the though and imaginary how they where as younger. It has a certain touch to it, thats why I think this version wouldn't work in the original film.

@@rahh-dunk dayum, i wish i can see what is going on, i wish these jedi MASTERS can do something more than wait for the signal to junp in by the director. But you know what, its subjective, be my guess if you enjoy the fight, its personal opinion after all
i LOVE how you can feel the weight in each of Vader's strikes
Agreed.
You can also feel the hatred behind each strike. He waited for 20 years to kill Obie Wan, and you can feel it in this edit.
I also like how you can see that each strike is meant to kill. Not just hit the opponents saber
And Vader has such a cocky fighting style, slashing without looking, turning his back to Obi-wan, he's like Anakin was in movie 3. It's amazing that they matched the tone of the characters to the fight choreography as well as tapped the full potential of force masters fighting.
Presence, they chose Vader as a 6 foot 6 bodybuilder (prowse) to give him presence, shame you don't get to see this kind of thing really
I think it's partly the ricochet that does it, in the film's lightsabers act a bit like magnets- once they hit, they "stick"
I bet each blow jar jarred Ben's shoulders.

*for Luke’s life
Yeah, this fits in with the lore better too. At this point in the timeline, Darth Vader had been in so many lightsaber duels during the clone wars and purge that in the EU, it was generally accepted that he had become the greatest lightsaber duelist to ever live. The only reason Luke was able to survive his duels with him was that Vader was never interested in killing him.
Then there was Ahsoka who said she wouldn't leave him, and Ezra snatched her from another plane of reality. Vader forefeits revenge outta confusion lol

At 2 mins into the fight the symbolism of both the red and blue sabres reflected in each one of Vader's eyes is brilliant

@@franziskanerweissbiersfasf8145 No not really, Vader had lost to obi wan before on mustafar almost killing him. Now he's very cautious and maybe somewhere even a bit scared/hesitant to duel with his old master again as to not suffer another defeat. He knows full wel what obi wan is capable of
@@brentmeyers9657 yes but the amount of anger Vader had against Obi Wan at this point was immeasurable. So the aggressive fighting style here is fitting perfectly

Vader using his fists and the environment made it seem like a real fight, it was not choreographed for the lightsabers, no fancy backflips etc just two dudes with a long history fighting tooth and nail.
@@KimBailey-w2g Vader has a sad tale even up to this fight - Obiwan taunted him saying his death would only make him stronger, in turn helping Luke become stronger as a force ghost. Then Obiwan clearly lets his guard down allowing Vader to let him transcend, Obiwan's love for anakin truly died when he realized there was only Vader left, very sad story.
@@Negan-lo7yr yeah but I took a woman’s love to bring back Aniken back from the Darkside in the Throne room on the second death star because there was a lot of Padme in Luke Skywalker, his son, and that was the redemption that Aniken needed, and since Anakin was the chosen one, not Ray, and you can see when you watch the original trilogy of Star Wars, that the seeds of his redemption is starting to brew when he finally found out that his son lived in when Palpatine was starting to kill Luke with force lightning, that’s when Aniken finally came out of Vader and Aniken finally was redeemed when he gave the emperor, the shaft, and when he died on the second death star in the hangar bay, while his son held him for the very last time that’s when Aniken found peace before he was called upon to be the father in the mortise ark and we saw him in the world between worlds, teaching Asoka her very last lesson to becoming who she truly needs to be

@@DonVigaDeFierro The wrong one...
I agree I like to think this was the real fight
This whole fight feels like Vader is fighting to kill, using all his anger and hate, and all Obi-Wan can do is defend himself. Beautifully done!
You can feel the power of the dark side in this video
We can see in this edit that Vader is fighting to kill and Obiwan is fighting to buy time for Luke and co. Obiwan knows he is outclassed but continues to defend defend defend, until he sees that Luke is ready to escape. That vibe couldn't be seen before - it just looked like two girls play-fighting.
Which is essentially what happened in their fight on Mustafar, just there wasn't quite the power gap between Obi and Anakin as there was there, and Obi didn't get so lucky lol
That's Obi-Wan's fighting style, soresu. Very effective against Sith, they get so deep in their rage and emotion, that they're more focused on destroying the opponent than defending themselves, and that's when he attacks. That's how he could've beaten Vader here.
Obi-Wan actually uses Soresu form, that's why he looks like that
Its better than Disney because while still fantasy it remains somewhat grounded, and features characters well written characters you can legitimately care about.

The only thing I don't like here is the fact that Obi Wan didn't withdraw his blade so it doesn't feel like the "suicide" vibe in the original.
This is probably how it really went down in Lucas head. He just didn't have the budget or tech to so it at the time
You're talking about marcia lucas, right?
I conpletely agree
Originally the fight was baced off of traditional samurai fighting styles but changed throughout the trilogy. that is why it looks so weird compared to the rest of the fights in the trilogy
"Times change"
I don’t think so.
This is by far the best lightsaber fight I have ever seen. It doesnt look like a choreography, it looks so raw and aggressive, way better than the original.❤️
God I love how heavy Vader’s saber swings are. Very reminiscent of Anakins style when he was angry. Bravo
Actually, Anakin was faster and had more finesse. Vader's style is heavier and more direct because the suit has mobility issues, but amplifies his strength.
T Prime Very true. The heaviness and anger in his swings just reminded me a lot of Anakins duel with Dooku on Geonosis and eventually obi wan on Mustafar.
T Prime acktuashlyy... when anakin is angry in both movies and animated series his swings become heavy, ruthless aggressive swings as he loses his finesse due to losing control of his emotions.

Too bad they didnt have the technology back then to do it.
The lightsabers they used in episode IV were sticks coated in foil that rotated so they needed a battery pack and a wire which was heavy and tricky to use without exposing the wire plus you couldnt hit them together too hard or theyd break/stop rotating. On top of that the scene had to be edited frame by frame to add even more glow and not on a screen but on physical plastic spools of film with hand tools
@@P7777-u7r wow that's a lot of work. I wish they had todays technology back in that time. The movie would've been even better
whoever made this needs some kind of award. i remember waiting for and watching episode 1 etc, thinking how amazing the lightsabre battles were. if only the originals were that good, you answered my will to the force
When the dialogue of Anakin and obi wan played “I hate you!” “You were my brother Anakin, I loved you.” It hit so deep, like wow.

Gauge Jacobs and to think that that was the last thing Anakin heard before obi wan left him to die
Rick Davis no u are wrong I know opinions are opinions but no wrong just wrong
One of the cool things about this duel is that every swing from Vader looks like it is intended to take Obi-Wan's head off. There is nothing overly flashy about this. Vader is truly trying to kill his opponent
Not sure but when he throws his sword and it's stuck in the wall he let it cut horizontally so that there is room to escape below. An absolut ruthless one would have cut diagonally to finish it there.
Not saying that this fight is anything but amazing! ^^

It is always those moments.
That changes a individual to their true potential; moments where people create their own nightmares out of those they pretended to love.
They loved what they thought you would be; what they hoped you would be.
Not realizing what it does to you.
The guilt of your fall rest on your shoulders for entertaining others delusions.
The pain, the agony, the betrayal.
They realize your realization.
That they are the source of your torturous torment.
Then they see you as a monster of their own guilt and failure.
Poetic how they create their own monster, from their own misguided actions an feelings.

@PublicWifi As any proper sith should be.
This isn't how Vader is supposed to be. He's fighting like Anakin in the Prequels. Vader in ESB is how he is supposed to be.
I’m showing my wife the entire Staw Wars universe, she doesn’t know anything prior. I am slapping this scene instead of the original (I’ll show the original later). This is SO good! The type of manoeuvres I missed, there is so much intention behind every attack, it’s so satisfying!! Thank you
I was watching A New Hope, stopped at this point in the movie, watched the fight in TH-cam and got back to the movie
Proof that this scene should be included in the film!!!
Haha. That was the best thing I’ve ever read on TH-cam.
Me to man :D
then you must be young. masters wouldn't move like that. they would use less movement and more precise techniques when attacking and defending. Obi Wan said to Luke "I'm getting to old for this sort of thing" and he walks around like he's well, old. and then you want people to believe out of know where he's going to fight like he's 19? lol
ME TOO!!
Imagine if you'd shown this in the original theatric release in 1977.
There may have been actual deaths due to shock haha
"You're not ready for this, but your kids are gonna love it!"
@@karnante4924 back to the future 1 reference!!! Haha

It would have been INSANE. The movie was already a huge success in terms of set pieces, world-building, and action.
The “you were the chosen one” at the end really hit me

i'm not crying...
Well he was, to bring balance to the force, which he did.
I started tearing up.

Best Fan Special edition, or whatever!! Crazy awesome! I've been in The Film industry for 24 years, Lighting, Camera, Editing, Directing, All of it!! So I know how this is done, and that is a Masterpiece!! Well Done!!
I will never get tired of seeing this.
Thanks to everyone for all of your support! We hope you enjoy our reimagining of Scene 38. Make sure to subscribe for more Scene 38 content. We are going to be releasing more details about the project shortly.
BRO YOU ROCK!!!!!!
This ones a keeper
Putain de merde !!
Omfg this is the sickest shit I've ever seen keep it up man!!!!
This shit was beyond worth the wait
If fans back in the 70s saw this their faces would’ve melted off
Honestly, and it already did that when Star Wars came out😂
They would’ve been like “wow the tone of this family friendly space adventure film sure has changed. I wonder why we’re spending so much time with these two characters and not the main character. Wait why are these guys so important again? I thought he was just distracting Vader so the actual important people can escape. Why is the camera moving so much now? Why did the music turn so dark for no reason? What’s happening? Where’s the innocent swashbuckler i was just watching?” *leaves theater in confusion*
@@TheMuni777 that's actually true, they were not ready for it.
As their faces were melting, they would be saying "I have the power to save the one you love!"
When people watched the final part of Raiders of the Lost Ark in theaters some peoples faces did melt off.
Man Kenobi really is the ultimate troll. Vader’s been waiting 19 years for revenge. The time arrives and when he FINALLY lays that death strike, he gets nothing but empty robe.
Plus he trolls him right off the bat. With just a master of evil. Vader loses his shit after that comment.
Carepolice uuaauuuaaauuuaaaa
Ahhh was hoping to see OB1 in here
@@stephenbreen7570 The Ultimate "Take A Seat"
well he warned him if he struck him down he would become more powerful
Rest in Peace to the most terrifying Dark Lord in the entire galaxy.
I'm going to pretend this is what actually happened forever
Ok that’s cool
@@Youcantbethisone search your feelings, you KNOW this scene to be true
That's what it was always. It's just that it wasn't possible at that moment
You shouldn’t it’s better the original way
You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly upon our point of view...
1:13 "Yo, nice suit. Bet it cost you an arm and a leg..."
*Legs, arm and legs lol
2 actually
Obi Wan on Mustafar: "What do you call a man with no arms and no legs that is catching on fire? Burns. What do you call a man with no arms and no legs that was on fire? Ash."
Anakin: "I hate you!"
trollbi wan strikes again
Oh burn
Imagine how crazy the audience from the 70’s would have reacted if this was the fight
They'd all have a stroke, probably
I showed my dad and he believed this was how it's like when he first saw it. I show him the original, he walked away
Lightsabers would probably somehow be an even larger icon.
@@hahaimasian How old is your dad??
They would be floored for most of it, except when we hear their younger voices in a sort of flaskback they would be slightly confused. Although, it would come full circle even more with the ending of episode 3.
Rest in peace James Earl Jones he won’t be forgotten 🙏
Even after four years I still come back to view this version of their final meeting. So good!
ikr same buddy lol
It’s awesome! So bad they couldn’t do this at the time or that this didn’t get a canon remake with good effects.
Same😂😂
Yes, this never gets old.
Honestly. Makes me wanna look up some old Dorkman fights!! This was a blast
Obi-Wan: realizes he’s loosing fight
“I’m about to do what’s called a pro gamer move”
Woah he’s loose
*fucking dies*
Log Out?
Dosent have thr high ground
@@sdkipper3236 log out
That was amazing!! Vader was as violent and brutal as he should be! Very well done!
I love how there's so many instances where you can see Obi-Wan just trying to stay alive, never mind giving Luke and the others the chance to escape.
EckhartsLadder this is Star Wars done right. Savor it my friends
EckhartsLadder ikr it makes it feel more like a star wars lightsaber battle
Like yout vids and Im not english/usa
Exactly! Remember, Vader waited 20 years for his revenge against Obi-Wan - revenge for destroying his body; revenge for turning Padme against him and - atleast according to Vader - leading him to kill her too. You would think that Vader wouldn't hold back at all once he meets Obi-Wan against, and here we see it in this scene. While the original was still great if it was in a standalone film, I think this scene fits much better in the complete trilogies of Star Wars.
Of course, the irony that you get to see in this scene is that Luke, Padme's son, gets to watch Vader go all out at Obi-Wan for supposedly killing Padme and their children (indirectly). Though, I suppose Vader can still get revenge for getting mangled and nearly left to be a pile of burning ash on Mustafar.
Now he is with the force. Rip James Earl Jones
Now THIS is a fight between to people who’s last meeting ended with one of them being left for dead.

And the one before that, as it turns out...
@ don't talk to me about Kenobi
Disney: This isn’t canon
Fans: unfortunately for you, history will not see it that way
I don’t think that Disney had anything to do with the production of A New Hope.
@@willglloyd No but they have made most original stories for comics and games no canon
WhoElseBut Tobi good. A lot of those stories are really annoying and it’s way easier to just keep all the movies and tv shows canon. Easier to follow
@@tobykristiansson4617 you're too dumb too follow
ClockzyYt exactly that’s what the small brains say what happened in the last comic again?
The fact that Vader catches on fire and doesn't care is so badass
Turning his ptsd into a weapon
He’s used to it, it’s an everyday occurrence to him
@@SquareLizard924.0 he doesn't get lit on fire everyday lol

Yeah that makes sense because Stormtroopers can’t aim for shit!

Of course he tries to set Vader on fire again.
Hey! It worked last time!
Burn.
@Allen -- The circle really IS complete! ;)
Old habits die hard, I guess
Vader: oi tf did u do that for u wanker
Obiwan: hehe lol it worked last time I guess
Vader: fuck off mate I always did hate u
WOW That is SO much better than the original choreography. Holy freaking crap that was good
The creator of this has cemented him/herself in the Star Wars hall of fame
Did you just assume a person's gender by using antiquated binary language!?!?! #ResistSexistRacistNazis
(SARC) just kidding
Nowadays guessing gender is like shrodingers cat, I assume both genders until it’s actually revealed 🤣
@@EldianDevil66 Excuse me, BOTH genders, you should no tjere are far far more, how dare you even try to place a cap on the number of gemders there are /s
@@matthewkafel1973 Please tell me you are baiting
@ Matthew Kafal, lmao you’re right. I’ll just say the “rainbow of genders” from now on to include the spectrum of sexes as stated by Bill nye the science guy. I just wish someone is paying me to say that like him/her/rainbow of genders
Imagine if there had been a duel like this back then. The viewers in the cinema would have completely freaked out.
Uh, the audiences _were freaked out_ by the entire movie. They had never seen anything like it. But this “reimagining” is not new and fresh, it’s just an attempt to make a truly revolutionary film look like three rather mediocre ones.
@@darkprose Uh, excuse me, say what you will about the prequels, but the saber fights in those films are the best in all of Star Wars.
@@duckofsvalbard6 honestly the cgi in the prequels is the best by far
@@rebelfriend9006 what I'm pretty sure the CGI in the newer films are better.
@@Ejaz100 ……the clone unveiling the droid invasion of Naboo geonossis are all cgi
I love the fact that Darth Vader literally started the battle weilding his saber with both hands. In most battles I see him in, he usually just uses one. He knew from the start that Obi-Wan (old age and all) was still a formidable opponent.
i feel like he is trying to scare him with his new but limited power, you can tell he is trying but I almost feel as if he wants to scare obi wan then kill him with a crazy killing blow after wearing him (obi wan) out. I dont see darth vader taking the time that he did to kill obi wan when he has fought much more powerful opponents like star killer for longer. I do like though that obi wan is still putting up a fight, this was beautiful. Vader was unleashing everything as almost trying to prove to obi wan what he tried to do on mustafar, wearing him out then killing him with a huge blow.
Not so old, he was 57
He was using one hand for most of his strikes in this video too.
He fights one-handed to initially toy with his opponents.
He switches to two-handed Djiem So when he wants to dominate and crush his foes.
Hes stance is usually Two hands, he doesnt like exposing hes life support But When he duels he uses makashi(one handed) and djem so mixed with form 1. He doesnt have much dexterity But hes reach and djem so strikes could easily disarm a prepared jedi knight. He’s in excruciating pain using those lightsaber forms so he’s
Main preference is to choke you outright or to hurl objects at you constantly.
