Cool lightsaber duel

Lightsaber duel
Well, I thought it was awesome. Pretty good choreography and special effects IMO.

Probably the first fan film i have seen that I actually enjoyed.

That Lightsaber trick at the end and the floorish afterwords was down right perfect. But one does not use a bloody knifefighting reverse grip when using #%#% swords! At least if you want to keep all your fingers.

I dont know, I still think Art of the Saber II is the best, but damn if this isnt a close second.

Meh, it was neat, but got tedious at the end. Rolling around on the floor fighting was silly.

Sorry, but I'm not that impressed. We've seen this before too but ages ago.

It's good for a fanfilm.

It's Ryan vs Dorkman. I always liked it, flaws and all. Of course, I liked Contract of Evil too, so maybe my opinions aren't really to be trusted.

That was pretty bitchin'! Good job. 8)

I definately like that duel, especially the part where the guy stops to adjust his glasses.

And it's also a nice touch to see people get creative with their lightsaber styles instead of simply emulating the movies.

Note to self. When involved in a force pull war against someone over a lightsaber and I win it, make sure that the emitter is facing away from me.

Just wasn't the same without all the acrobtics seen in the movies.

Decent. They get bonus points for the sky blue and yellow lightsabers in addition to some new tricks.

Points for the rolling on the floor.

Okay, who didn't see the tug-of-war end coming? I mean, it's so obvious.

This had excellent choreography for a fanfilm, but I still think Duality has the best lightsaber fight.

Agent Fisher · Post by **Agent Fisher** » 2006-04-14 07:36pm

lol, at Duality. I get the feeling that the SIth lord should have said at the end. "I did not see that one coming."

Just in case there are some,like me, who hadn't seen it: Art of the Saber

Agent Fisher · Post by **Agent Fisher** » 2006-04-15 03:49am

Hmmm, that was labeled as Art of the Saber 2 on TF.net

Lost Soal · Post by **Lost Soal** » 2006-04-15 03:58am

Really it is, the first was their practice set in their back yard minus costumes, music and dialogue. The fight itself was different as well.

LordShaithis · Post by **LordShaithis** » 2006-04-15 04:39am

Choreography and genera skills in AotS were better, but the sappy music and tone were a bit of a downer. On the other hand, this new one had cool music and a really kickass kill-shot going for it.

Art of the Saber had better choreography, although I liked how "best lightsaber duel" had the music from Dark city. It really felt appropriate for a fast lightsaber battle.

Duality deserves notice as an earnest attempt at a decent fanfilm (at which it succeeds, I'd say), but the fighting doesn't really pick up until the end duel. Before that, most of the moves were embarrassingly slow.

Art of the Saber, well... it'll always hold a special place in my heart for being technically fucking brilliant. That said, the guy with the red lightsaber was a bit too mismatched against the ultre-coolness of his opponent.

I remember seeing the first film some time ago, but now as well as then I still like it pretty much. Mostly because of the Matrix feeling that it has sometimes (as the glasses thing) ... or the opening western like face-off.

As for "Art of the saber" ... does anyone know what song plays in the background?

It was a bit goofy for my tastes and there was too much slapping of each other's sabres but I liked the ending.

Its the final song from Gladiator.
