has any one noticed that darth vader's whole body moves when he tries to attack

whoever made it like dat should be hang

You're retarded. You shouldm't diss the classic Star Wars.

that's the point the jedi or exjedi in the OT are old, halfmachine or too young to be like the jedi in the PT.

Well, what did you think about the fighting when you first saw ROTJ back in the 80's?

Its over let it go

The fights in the OT were at least semi believable, in PT they would likely result in you cutting your dick off if you tried it.

What im pissed about is when in the new A New Hope dvd when Obi Wan is fighting Darth Vader for the last time his saber turns purple and when Luke was training in the falcon his saber was like green and not blue...

Well the Vader v Obi one yeah, but the first Luke one, Vader was taking it easy, did not want to kill the Emperor's prize. Then in their duel in Rotj I though it was good.

some of u have put good points across but i agree wit vader 05 a new hope was definately too wooden

p.s. i star wars it's my fave saga

P.S.= Don't flame me

Who would of thought the force would allow you to do things that you wouldn't normally be able to do on your own!?! WHAT THE JENGA WERE THEY THINKING?!

I refuse to get involved in this converstaion due to the retardedness of the topic poster and any attempts at intelligent enlightenment may lead to said topic creators head to explode.

Remember that in A New Hope there was an old man fighting a half machine and there was supposed to be drama, not all this meaningless lightsaber flinging you see in the prequels. The lightsaber duel in Empire was the coolest, and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

The lightsaber battles then were slow then but in the new ones...

I agree with darth Leo, the lightsaber battle were slow. In the Trilogy edition they said they digatally remastered it. Well now Jabba looks all brand new and that thing that lived in the sand dunes doesn't match.

hmmm... yeah i have the original SW vids... and the "fight" between vader and obiwan sucked... it was like they were just tapping their sabers together...

Well, you're entitled to your opinion, but from a physical and acrobatic viewpoint, Episode I's duel of the fates is superior. Quite exciting.

You people have to remember that these movies were made in the Seventies!

yoda and dooku are dead old ,

explain that

They kept in shape, and Dooku> Obi-Wan.

The only explanation is obvious technology has increased extremely over the past thirty years and that was the best that they could do back then and now is the best they can do technologically now.

true, true. i take back what i said about that lightsaber fight. but it makes it difficult to release movies almost thirty years apart... it almost doesnt work....

I blame Lucas . . . sure some of PT fights are pretty cool to watch, but there no depth there.

<Ep.1 attack of the liddle midget with a tatoo>
Lucas: ohhh theres make them do some back flips cos theres nothing actually hapening in the story.
Other guy: Good Idea, if we put enough special effects in, the audience might actually mistake it for a movie rather than a toy commercial!

Sure, ANH looks wooden and kinda bad, but Empire and Jedi have definetly got the best duels.

Long live the Original-non super flipping old people duels that had more emotion than all the prequel fights besides Mustafar duel-Trilogy!

The fight scene in A new hope between Vader and Obi wan looked crap for two reasons:
1. The duelists actors were ordiary people with few saber skills, and one of them was wearing a super heavy suit.
2. The lightsabers were made of wood, and hitting the lightsabers quickly and forcefully would cause them to break. I also think that they were rushing the film due to lack of time.

I would love to see all of the fight scenes from the original trilogy updated with special effects and played by proffessional saber duelists. I would love to see darth Vader fighting like the Jedi and Sith from the PT

Not that the original trilogy fight scenes were crap. they were all great. My fave has got to be Darth Vader vs Luke in ESB

i liked luke vs. vader in ROTJ

I already covered this about three months ago.

In an issue of Star Wars Insider, they covered the reason why, especially in ANH (Which I rewatched, the saber battle was worse than I recall) they used two wooden props. These props had reflective parts on them that spun via a motorized machine, which was hidden in the participant's sleeves. The reflective parts spin, catching stage lights and giving the illusion of laser swords. However, as was said before, they were flimsy abd broke easily, especially because of David Prowse's great strength (He was a professional body builder). As for being ordinary with no talents, that is wrong; Alec Guinness had plenty of experience with weapons and props from his multitude of years on stage and in movies.

Luke upgraded his Saber

Originally built by Anakin Skywalker. Kenobi made some slight detail modifications over the years and passed it onto Luke Skywalker in his hut on Tatooine.

This was Luke's first attempt at building a lightsaber. Unfortunately it failed...badly. He abandoned the project but did learn a thing or two and used that knowledge to modify his father's lightsaber.

Darth Vader disarmed Luke along with his hand in duel and it was presumed lost in the shafts of Cloud City on Bespin. Found by the cloned Jedi Master Joruus C'baoth along with Luke's severed hand, he cloned Luke from his hand cells and gave the saber to the clone named, Luuke.

^^^^^^^Who the **** is that?????

That is Brucie Skywalker, the queer third child. Obi-Wan tried to stash him in a storage bin, but he survived on iron rations and soon was adopted by a troupe of circus performers who bought Padme's yacht after her death. He had aspirations of fighting the evil empire and getting his third grade instructor in bed, but unfortunately the IMperial naval was prejudiced against a boy who painted his nails and Mr. Brown was happily married. In the end, Brucie Skywalker became a spice pirate and died in a box moving incident when a binary loadlifter popped up with a 3.

That is such a heart-wrenching story, the redundant tale of little Brucie Skywalker . . .

Next someone will market it. He was the Chosen One.... Chosen to DIE! Dun dun dun!!!

seriously is that mark hamil?

George Lucas himself said that the A New Hope fight was slow because it was an old man and a half man/machine fighting for the first time in 20 years. Wouldn't you fight a little slower after not dueling for 20 years? After rewatching ANH, I didn't think it was too bad...it could have been better, but to make it as fast as they were in the prequel trilogy just would have not been right for the situation.

I loved the duels in the OT, I just think there wasn't enough of them. An easy way to fit that in the story: let Kenobi live atleast to ESB.
