The Resistance - A lightsaber duel

[@dmg755]

Something I noticed is the fighting was very fast paced but when the apprentice was fighting it felt slower, more awkward and thinking about it it makes sense. The apprentice is likely not as powerful and experienced as our main two duelists which would explain the slower paced fighting. Very well choreographed and incredibly entertaining to watch.

[@mjl1966y]

Some of the best light saber choreography I've ever seen, especially on the part of ResisterOfEvil. I enjoyed the dramatic context even though the acting was rough. But it had heart. Awesome tracking shot at 3:43 with the reverse pickup. wow. Overall, a much higher than average light saber clip.

[@lucabestea6844]

This was one of the best fan-made films ever made. I've seen this when I was around 9-10 years old and was captured by how well something can be done by a big Star Wars fan. I noticed that the 2 characters seem to have shared some history. The Sith Lord either was his master or a close friend as a Jedi. He then embraced the dark side and took a new apprentice. It's clear the apprentice was weaker than him, and judging by his master's amazement when his pupil was defeated, he tried to do a Palpatine. He nearly succeded, showed by your anger and the animal-like roars, but then you saw how he affected you and became one with the Force and killed him with his own sword, showing how his arrogance had actually killed him. Had to spend 12 minutes(not kidding) in order to find this again, but loved seeing this again.

So.... I am going to do something the rest of the peanut gallery below is not willing to do... That being provide CONSTUCTIVE criticism. The camera work and choreography were good. Like Really good. Even the dialogue wasnt badly written. Dont forget how epicly CAMPY the dialogue was in the original films (YES I SAID IT. SEARCH YOUR FEELINGS, BUTTHURT ONE. YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE.) The line of "Only the jedi deal in absolutes" was actually quite brilliant. It is your delivery of you lines. There was no real feeling in it. It felt and sounded forced. Relax into your character and trust that you have something good. Be the character. This film has some real potential. I would recommend joining a LARP and using that as practice in living a character. And dont be affraid to call in other people to act the characters for you. Again, this really has potential. You guys have potential. Campy is fine (plenty of good fan films out there that are campy and low budget as hell, bit really good none the less), it just needs to be felt, not forced. May the Force be With You.

[@lunorm.5173]

As a whole, this video was impressive. The special effects were (mostly) good and the choreography was stellar. I very much enjoyed this video. I also have a few things I'd like to point out issues with. I tend to be blunt when putting these forth, so do take what I say with a grain of salt. *I see a lot of Star Wars lore inaccuracy. That is something you should address in further videos. *Yes. They have feet. Yes, there is dirt in the terrain. Why do we need to constantly see the combatants' feet? It takes away from the appeal of the battle. *The music overpowers the voices of the actors. I cannot hear what is being said properly. *Accepting a red lightsaber does NOT equate to turning to the dark side. A Jedi is just as capable of wielding a red lightsaber as a Sith is of wielding a blue. They're just colours and that just so happened to be the weapon nearby with which the Jedi was able to protect himself. *You are putting in camera angles and pans that are, frankly, unnecessary. It takes away from the tension of the fight. *I find the inhuman growling/snarling to be rather pointless, illogical, and unnecessary. What is the point of that, exactly?

For your complaint of them not using both colors or say as if the colors of the Saber means you are then a sith, it is simbolizm meaning they have given into the dark side and that there can not be in between but only one side.

[@thevlogbros.5316]

+Lunor M. Actually, red light saber crystals Are found on a planet different fro the one other crystals are. They give off a strange aura that affects the beholders attitude and when he growls its because hes succumbing to the dark side and he is trying to fight it.

Despite its corny acting, its recycled lines, and that strange snarl thing that he does, I love this video. I used it as a model for a lightsaber duel I choreographed for a video I did at school. The cinematography is nice (especially the far away shot.), the choreography is spectacular, and the setting is fitting. My favorite part is probably either at 4:58 , or at 7:42 . I love this part because the lightsabers become a symbol of the dark side vs the light, good vs bad. It's something that's done with such subtlety and without force (no pun intended). Pure genius.
