The prequel lightsaber duels are actually the best coreographed ones

Lightsaber fights are less to do with the fight itself and more to do with the internalization of the characters. So, if you've ever said that the fight at the end of A New Hope was the worst one because it had bad fight choreography well, I'm sorry but you've missed the point entirely

>Rey and Finn had no buisness coming out of that fight favourably
that plot armor bullshit is one of the many things that killed the sequels for me.

why george. why.

I would simply jab him once really fast in the face while he was whipping his lightsaber around like that.

true, second best is vader just fucking shit up in rogue one

In the prequels they swing them like they're toys and in the ot they feel like real swords. But I'll buy that in the Mustafar battle they were swinging that fast because Anakin was high on the dark side and Obi Wan was barely keeping up.

go back

I think people who prefer the prequel lightsaber fights vs. the ones in the original trilogy are people who really are just there for the "whoa" factor. Like yeah, Obi-Wan vs. Darth Maul looks cooler than Obi-Wan vs. Darth Vader in Episode IV, but the context around the fight is stronger in IV than it is in I.

forgot about all those lightsabers the rebels had in that scene, was such a good duel

Also, this is even more true in the original trilogy when you get to Luke vs. Vader. The fight feels more grounded than anything in the prequels.

nothing wrong with that scene, just like there's nothing wrong with luke cutting his way to the bridge at the end of mando s2. i'll never understand why you people get so autistic about those two scenes

if luke only knew that his father was an even bigger bitch than him in his younger days

Unpopular opinion but Luke somehow becoming competent and a Jedi between ESB and RotJ makes no sense. He never went back to Yoda to complete his training, there's a missing movie of how Luke became the calm and collected fighter we see in Jedi. It always takes me out of the movie and undermines Empire.

>coreographed

what is the name of this choreography called

They weren't supposed to have no mass. Initially Lucas wanted them to feel heavy he just changed his mind about what he understood about the mass of a lightsaber.

Prequel sabers look so cheap

it was 1970 and they didnt know what to do with a weapon concept like that, despite even having the technology to pull off something like we got in the prequels

i thought the rogue one vader scene was gay as fuck but liked youtube.com/watch?v=to2SMng4u1k which uses "heavy" light sabers

its the smug sith technique

dreadful, utterly utterly dreadful

It was 1977. The point I'm making is that the original trilogy always focused on the minute, human aspects of the story rather than the bigger picture, I feel like that is the difference between the OT and the PT.

So mature and adult like to enter a discussion you have no interest in just to tell everyone you dont care. It definitely doesn't suggest you are both underaged and obsessively compulsed to engage with things because you have no actual interests

he got the physical and mental training regimes from yoda in empire, so he knew how and what to train. nearly dying to vader was the last piece of the puzzle for him because he knew exactly how much stronger he needed to become. i get what you're saying but i don't think it needed much explanation. maybe a blurb in the opening crawl or something

emotionally, yeah. but 16 year old anakin would stomp 18 year old luke

Actually they're shit outside of Episode 1

the anakin vs dooku duels were great

I unironically like this bit of kino

This is dogshit and I hate people bringing it up like it's THE BESTEST EVER

The bluescreen in this scene is dreadful

at 0:10 you see the very moment dooku realizes "oh shit dat boi outperformed me in no time" and he knows he's fucked

>quality of fight choreography is actually about the context of the fight and not the fight itself

>are actually the best coreographed ones

Friendly reminder that Star Wars is made for children, yes even your beloved prequels are made for children. George Lucas has even said this. Inb4 muh politics and lightsaber decapitations. Children's films dealing with adult themes and pg13 violence is not new and does make it adult. Grow. Up.

It's not as bad in the remastered versions. It was cutting edge for it's time.

I always thought that realistic lightsaber combat would look a lot more like modern sports fencing. You have a weightless blade that can pierce through pretty much everything so why waste time swinging it when you can thrust and kill the enemy just the same. Obviously wouldn't be as cool for the movies though.

please link the posts comparing the laser sword movies to fucking dostoyevsky? oh right they don't exist, you blithering nitwit

>Rey and Finn had no buisness coming out of that fight favourably
Except for the whole being 'Kylo was just shot in the sidegut by a wookie bowcaster' thing, you mean.
