Star Wars Test Footage: Anakin vs Dooku (Alternate Duel with SFX)

[@catsandbarbells]

Dude Hayden's a fricking BEAST. Couldn't imagine learning as much choreography as he did.

[@SpFlash1523]

Imagine a duel between him and Ray Park.

[@islandking_editz]

@@SpFlash1523 bro ray slams, have you seen his choreography?

[@catsandbarbells]

0:44 😮

[@robertdavies6630]

I still think Hayden Christensen would be a perfect fit for batman in James gunn new dcu

[@SpFlash1523]

@@islandking_editz Yes I have, but Hayden could definitely hold his ground.

[@juicegodalpha]

The fans could totally finish this scene completely

[@adam3647]

Only a matter of time until it's finished and reincorporated into the film.

[@igorsirius9178]

I would prefer this replacing the one in Attack of the Clones, that was awful

[@Last-Scar-5675]

@@igorsirius9178how was it awful?

[@scorp8360]

@@Last-Scar-5675 horrible lighting and cinematography, the lightsabers are so bright yet barely light anything up. The shots are either way too far back or way too close.

[@AndyRoidEU]

Yeah, with 2023 video tools

[@sera404]

0:27 dang that Anakin spin was flawlessly inserted into the fight sequence rather than just a flex

[@ericmonaco4509]

Well he IS the one that said spinning is a good trick and it works 😂

[@eddi.Eddiee.e]

this is better than the actual fight in rots by a mile, hayden is a beast

[@gellertgrindelwald3257]

fully agree

[@K.a.t.-it1ps]

The fight its rots is not bad tho

[@shawnkurtz4424]

The lightsabe hand switch is probably the smoothest thing Ive ever seen. I really wish they could have included this and the Palpetine office extended fight. Nick Gillard is truly a genious when it comes to sword choreography.

[@Forge17]

This is amazing.. It always felt strange how short and low octane Dooku’s final duel was. Big letdown given he was the big baddie of the previous movie. The rest of Episode 3’s duels were much more intense and choreographed. This scene needs to be reincorporated somehow.

[@szczypior2714]

I really like this duel tbh, I also think ROTS is perfect the way it is

[@alsimmons4504]

​@@szczypior2714 Yeah, but a little something extra also doesn't either though lol.

[@MrGittz]

It’s because there’s almost no music for most of it.

[@ElStink4K]

Nah I think the shortness is effective at demonstrating how far Anakin had come since AOTC

[@MrDumdumkilla]

It’s cool to see Dooku tried to do the same move he did in Episode 2 that cut off Anakin hand, and Anakin just counters it 🔥🔥

[@NKGarzaa]

Actually I think Anakin baits him into doing it to get the upper hand. And since Dooku would have been blinded most likely in the one eye he probably could focus on Anakin to read his movements leading to the loss of hands

[@Omnipotentmonkey]

You mean that move where Dooku just flatly cut off Anakin's hand because he just stopped moving for like 2 seconds? did he counter it by... not falling asleep this time? haha. that choreography in AOTC always bothered the FUCK out of me,

[@-CrimsoN-]

@@Omnipotentmonkey I thought I was the only one lol

[@ddun.2205]

0:45 truly a masterpiece when he changed his hand

[@AndyRoidEU]

He actually made a real backflip. Hold on, we have a Sith lord over here.

[@KaiFreemaker95]

We should have gotten this absolute BEAST of a scene from Hayden. All time favourite Star Wars actor

[@FreakDaMIghet]

I had the music from this scene in the movie playing in the background. It actually syncs up pretty well.

[@Raptorvision95]

The fact that the original fight had Anakin hit Dooku in the face and blind him in one eye, shows just how much anger Anakin was supposed to have fuelled into this fight

[@nathankirschbaum6850]

Dooku at 0:51looking at him like "Wait, why does everything look different now? Did your hair suddenly get longer?" "Do it, Anakin! He took the red pill! He's too dangerous to be left alive!"

[@Pro_Gamer_U_S]

That one move. You know what I’m talking about. Holy crap.

[@JT117]

Credit @Gillardstunts, the actual original creator. Star Wars Analyst just takes his videos and thinks putting effects on them and adding terrible commentary makes it his.

[@MrGittz]

I’m pretty sure he gets permission and has a relationship with him. I might be wrong about that but that’s my understanding

[@davidnguyen661]

This is one of the smoothest fights l’ve ever seen

[@Gyarretto7]

Parts of this made it into the movie, parts of it didn't, but I really think Anakin hitting Dooku in the eye is something that should have been in the movie. Sure, he hasn't quite gone to the Dark Side yet, but this is the movie where that happens, and he has shown in the actual movie around that point that he's much more willing to fight like a Sith and play dirty than when he fought Dooku in Episode II.

[@Imakeplaylists-in1pw]

They should have used these in the fight. Not to discredit the final product but these show off more of the awesome choreography.

[@psychokitty444]

It's okay to discredit the final product a little here. This coreography is way more impressive.

[@venomfoxgames]

All that we need to do is deepfake Christopher Lee's face on to the stunt actor and add the background!

[@NileMcKenna]

0:27 OMFFFFGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[@SunStarSounds]

I always wanted that particular fight to be longer

[@Legion831]

Hayden makes Aniken look way cooler than Darth Vader😮😮😮😮

[@EyeBeZombie]

Alright we need that guy who did the SC 38 Obi-Wan vs vader fight to do this!

[@pasttimer27]

Man, Rey and Kylo would be minced meat if they ever dueled Anakin in his prime.

[@Cosmic_cosmention]

True words but Kylo wasn’t a weak duelist Rey was just broken as all hell

[@chewher4171]

Lucas cut all the epic fights as to not take away from Obi vs Vader, I feel we were robbed! Bad call Georgy.

[@rockguy8362]

do you know how much footage the obi vs Anakin fight had? probably two times as much

[@eyepatchpirate7726]

0:16 that is a hilarious twirl

[@ori4192]

That's. a Jedi Master who's supposed to be really good at dueling. Wish he was shown more like this

[@ToskaForsite]

Спасибо что собрали эту сцену воедино.

[@SunStarSounds]

That eye burn RUUUULES DAMN

[@nothinghighandawful]

Original test footage is from @Gillardstunts and should be credited as such.

[@jedicouncil66]

Agreed

[@sebastianconnor9740]

Original Fans totally ruined these tremendous lightsaber duals. They complained all the part of prequels including lightsaber duals although these were also great as original trilogy's. So the final result came out from sequals with weird, unnatural and most importantly BORING duals.

[@Atoneeo]

You can feel the passion.

[@ahknabi]

Save the best for the test footage. 👌

[@michaelrousopoulos1098]

Sad part is.. Anakin & Dooku were both fighting each other for the same reason as they were both desperately trying to fight for the destiny & the very people of the galaxy.. it would have been breathtaking if the 2 of them had gone against sidious like grandfather & grandson.. they would have absolutely mopped the FLOOR with sidious no questions asked….

[@diioyaro1510]

That would’ve been awesome as a “what if” episode.

[@michaelrousopoulos1098]

@@diioyaro1510I absolutely agree.. also imagine if they did an alternate version of Revenge Of The sith where like I say Anakin & Dooku go against sidious.. I would LOVE to see that.

[@michaelrousopoulos1098]

I call it “Dooku’s redemption”

[@aitorgutierrez715]

Tô bem honest this footage nailed it better than the final version. Christopher Lee was a fucking amazing person and as an actor I think his character in the prequels had a lo of potencial (not saying he did nothing) but Jesus!!! This footage could have been his great farewell in the film and it'd have been glorious

Alright, Hayden was BORN to wield a lightsaber and 99% of this fight is fire. But that butterfly spin-jump at 0:18? Not really feeling it 😅

[@scatmancrothers]

always preferred the in the orignal trilogy becuase to me this prequel fighting doesnt look like fighting, it looks like they are doing the tango.

[@SweetBerryWine3000]

If his acting were a tenth as good as his lightsaber dancing, the shitty Prequels might have been more watchable. Granted, they're still a million times better/less horrible than the overflowing gas station toilet that is JJ Abrams' Sequel nightmare.

[@StarWarsAnalyst]

Lol

[@nothinghighandawful]

I’m sure this falls under fair use, though? Besides, you are credited in a tiny little hide-away spot up in the description. What are you complaining about?

[@StarWarsAnalyst]

@@nothinghighandawful I said lol. Also fair use requires commentary or analysis so I’m not sure if this falls under fair use. Either way, I’d never consider trying to copyright strike this dude’s channel because… I’m not a child (unlike some people)

[@nothinghighandawful]

@Star Wars Analyst Ah, so it’s my mistake then. I interpreted it as you wishing to be given credit for your work (such as it is) being featured on this channel. Clearly that would have been extremely hypocritical of you, seeing as you (like a child) never deign to do the same for others whose content you “appropriate.” But I digress. Sometimes a “lol” is just a “lol,” I suppose.

[@StarWarsAnalyst]

@@nothinghighandawful but you realize there’s a difference right? My videos aren’t just taking content and reuploading it. Like there is a reason why fair use exists.

[@nothinghighandawful]

“Reuploading,” how so? Let’s make a fair comparison of cases: You took the footage from Gillardstunts, edited it in your own way, added effects and commentary, and gave next to no credit. This channel in turn took your video, edited it in their own way, added their own sound effects, and gave next to no credit. The difference is really very slight. YOU think it isn’t, only because this time it's your stuff getting reposted with scant a mention of the work you put in (which, by the way, took you days to accomplish and not literal *years,* unlike the work of "some people" you’re referring to). You’re not arguing from a moral standpoint. But rather than get bogged down with tiresome minutiae, isn’t the real issue one of simply having the decency to credit other people's work? Wouldn't it be great if this channel could give you a proper shoutout for your contributions here? Wouldn’t it have been great if you had been open about the source of Mr. Gillard's footage from the very beginning? You could have been on good terms with him today, and no less respected by the fandom for it. You could have helped giving his channel the boost it needed, instead of deliberately diverting traffic away from it for the sake of millions of views on your own. (As your comments here show, you yourself get pissed off for less.) Why the self-importance, why the insistence on your stuff being unique/never-before-seen/censored-by-Disney or whatever? Why not just be humble, transparent, and give just as much credit for others’ work, as you would like to receive for your own? There's just no reason not to, except for selfish ones.
