Even Padmé in the clone wars cartoon notes how heavy it feels compared to how you’d think by looking at it. It doesn’t matter if they feel light to a Jedi. They aren’t “meant to be light” to a normal person. Your reply makes no sense because it assumes shit that I did not state. I never said that a lightsaber can’t be wielded one handed or that it doesn’t feel light to a force user. That info is irrelevant because we’re talking not about how it feels but the actual weight of the object.

Fun fact! The reason the choreography was so bad in A New Hope was because of the technology. And, partially the ages of the actors. Since the “lightsabers” on set were from their present, the 70s, they were EXTREMELY fragile, if the hit them too hard even once, they would shatter. So, they were forced to fight very slowly and clash super lightly. Hope this helped, great video!

You also have to realize Vader is being extremely cautious on purpose, he's fighting the guy who literally cut off 3 of his limbs and almost killed him, and Kenobi isn't trying to kill Vader during the fight, he is only defending against Vaders cautious attacks. But I get it, the new generation won't appreciate the originals like some of us do.

Vader vs Kenobi is literally one of the only duels that stick to the actual premise of starwars being basically a cross of a samurai/space/western. Everything else (bar Luke vs Vader which was emotionally fueled) was made flashy to draw in casual audiences. In saying that, nothing beats Darth maul vs Obi wan and Qui Gon. The music, the actual fight and the implications it held were amazing. Closely followed by Anakin VS Obi Wan on Mustafar.

100% agree. The OT were obviously great movies but the lightsaber duels were so god awful.

In episode IV, the CGI wasn’t there to make Alec Guinness make the same acrobatics that they did for Christopher Lee.

Just to notice. The duel between vader and kenobi holds some real fencing in it and that might also have a sense of being less active. If you have ever practice fencing you would notice it, except in the part where they turn.. in fencing that is your certain death lol

I feel like in the original Obi-Wan vs. Vader fight was much more focused on the emotional implications of the fight. Vader is questioning why Obi-Wan is there, what his plan might be. Obi-Wan understands that Vader could destroy him at any moment, but is also aware that Vader is confused and hesitant. Obi-Wan is stalling for time using Vaders emotions against him, while Vader is trying to overcome his childlike uncertainty. The fight is more of a intellectual dance rather than a brutal contest for superiority.

Anakin vs Obi-Wan on Mustafar is hands down the best main movie duel.

They used metal sticks or just some really heavy objects prior to the light swords in prequels or original. It makes the lightsabers in that sense even lore-breaking if you have to swing them like a metal pole in sequels

Still waiting on a Star Wars movie to focus on the duels since the prequels. Legit the only movies that highlighted forms and styles

Ngl Rey and Kylo on the Death Star is one of my favorite Star Wars duels. Star Wars duels have never been practical so I really don’t care how practical a lightsaber duel is, it’s just gotta look good and imo that duel is one for the best looking ones we’ve got. Plus the moment with Leia and Ben’s interaction with Han afterward
@Joesith_2 жыл бұрын
I just don’t like that they’re fighting so bad but I agree with the Han moment

@@Joesith_ hey to each their own 🤷🏻♂️ I just liked the intensity and the pace. Cinematography and FX are beautiful during that duel too
