So Older Jedi arent as agile as they once were? THen dare i say what the fuck was Yoda doing in AoTC?observer_20000 wrote:I honestly cannot picture the major OT characters as looking any different, and therefore are having a hard time thinking of any modern actors who could play them.
About the fight scenes, why would they necessarily be different?
In ANH, we have Vader, who is weighed down by that bulky suit, and Obi-Wan, who is obviously old, and not as agile as he once was. If you watch closely in TPM, you'll notice Obi-Wan was a lot quicker and agile than Qui-Gon. (especially near the end of the fight, when Obi-Wan is fighting Maul one on one)
In TESB, we have Vader again, who is wearing heavy, clunky armour, and Luke who is pretty much having his first light sabre duel, and has only known about hos force abilities for three years, and has had no one to instruct him. Not to mention the fact that Vader is very strong in regards to his force powers, and was no doubt holding him down.
Same thing applies to ROTJ, except Luke is a bit more prepared.

Did he need to do a back flip or perform any of these fancy moves? Vader and Obi Wan didn't even seem to get into any really intense fighting. Obi Wan knew he was going to die as soon as he encountered Vader on the Death Star. it seemed like Obi Wan was just holding off waiting to die in front of Luke.observer_20000 wrote:He no doubt is more knowledgable of the force in ANH than he was in TPM and AOTC, but the fact remains that he's quite old, which is probably why you never see him do back flips or any other of that super agile moves you saw him perform in TPM. Notice how Qui-Gon isn't nearly as agile?
I can imagine Tarkin being played by Jeremy Irons...Aya wrote:Who would play Luke, Leia, Han and the rest?
Will he have a creepy sidekick played by Bruce Payne with blue lipstick?Simon H.Johansen wrote:I can imagine Tarkin being played by Jeremy Irons...Aya wrote:Who would play Luke, Leia, Han and the rest?
Well, you could make the battle of Hoth in TESB look a hell of a lot better...*drool*Aya wrote:Who would play Luke, Leia, Han and the rest? Also, what would the fight scenes be like? Just imagine the Vader vs Luke fights done today.

He is powerful, but he has his limits. That armour certainly isn't light. (I don't recall where, but I remember reading his armour was made of DurasteelDarth Fanboy wrote:And when it comes to those "flashy moves" I think that the reason you don't see those in the OT is more along the lines of the limitations they had as opposed to a lack of power. Darth Vader doesnt perform any flashy moves but is certainly much more powerful than ever before when he duels Obi Wan on the Death Star.
Remember, Yoda is ~900 even at the time of AotC. He's got easily 10 times the experience Obi-Wan ever has. And Vader's armor likely restricted him from making the extremely agile moves of TPM and AotC Jedi. Additionally, it's likely that neither has kept in training with their lightsabers, as Vader tends to rely on Force powers, and Obi-Wan's been in hiding for decades.Darth Fanboy wrote:But both Vader and Obi Wan are more powerful due to their increased experience in the force.

Well Regarding Obi Wan you might be right, I think you will see that his skills from AoTC to Episode III will be improved and then he probably doesnt get much bette rin terms of combat after that.The Dark wrote:Remember, Yoda is ~900 even at the time of AotC.

IIRC, comics aren't even official, I think I remember something being said on the official site about how they should be thought of as an "alternate universe."Darth Fanboy wrote:Well Regarding Obi Wan you might be right, I think you will see that his skills from AoTC to Episode III will be improved and then he probably doesnt get much bette rin terms of combat after that.The Dark wrote:Remember, Yoda is ~900 even at the time of AotC.

Darth Vader though does keep up with his lightsaber training if you use EU examples such as Shadows of the Empire. He keeps a fair supply of powerful combat droids that would kill a normal man with no effort at all, Vader takes on two of these at once just to let off steam.
EDIT: I dont know how much you cant count comics either but Vader has incredible moves depicted there as well, especially in his battle against the revived Darth Maul.
That's for comics with the Infinites label slapped onto them.observer_20000 wrote:

No Infinites...they are fair game.

Can anyone describe these feats that Vader supposedly performed while fighting Maul?
You *could*, but I wouldn't be surprised if a modern filming would create a battle more similar to AOTC.3rd Impact wrote:Well, you could make the battle of Hoth in TESB look a hell of a lot better...*drool*
