The Chiang Picture (Spoiler)
Here it is:
(please log in to view the image)
This is meant to be a painting by Doug Chaing of the final lightsabre battle between Count Dooku, Anakin and Obi-Wan.

That's the final battle? Must have been before they finalised the sabre colours, then, because Dooku has a red sabre in the film, and the only two candidates to be him (Anakin will be double-sabre guy) are not using red.

Why do you think Dooku will have a red saber?

Well, I'm certain that is him with a red sabre in that earlier select pic.

Yeah, its spoilers like that that are hard to disprove. Anyone can say "Jango gets killed by Mace" but to come up with such an intricate piece of art in the style of Doug Chiang is something else completely...
I like the look of the ship. I was afraid from the earlier rumours that it would look like some sort of stupid galleon thing. Still, it may unfold when in space.
That's also one flexible looking Sith lord, can't see that Christopher Lee will be in such good shape.

Yes, SOMETHING is not quite right, somewhere...

Anyone remember a rumour very early on that Robin Gurland requested pictures of Christopher Lee when he was young? The idea that he'd rapidly 'anti-age' when he fought had captured my imagination, it would seem the only way we'd get the 'better than TPM' fights we've been told we can expect.Still, it's a cheesy idea and wouldn't go well in Star Wars.
Notice the hangar it's showing...seems the rumours that the buildings would be made from rock themselves may be true. It does look a lot like the select pic.

There is a certain brilliance to the sort of fighting style someone like C Lee would have to use.
But I reckon the sabre colours are just messed up because this was a very early pic.

I think the guy with the two red sabres is supposed to be Dooku, really. There was a report about Dooky fighting with two sabres at one point. I think the one on the left is in fact OB1 and the other one is Anakin.
IMHO OC.

I heard double-sabre dude was Anakin.
But still, who knows, eh?

Yes, I bet sabre colours are some fidgety thing that only gets decided just before they're rotoscoped by ILM. Doug Chiang's probably just told to draw some kind of sabre type weapon.
As for Lee's fighting style, you're right.Too see a Sith who fought with efficiency rather than power would be a refreshing change, and a greater display of discipline than anything else could be. If you've studied fencing before, you'll know just how little movement is needed for an effective parry. I couldn't get my head round it at first, it seemed too simple.

Oh, as we discussed at the old board, if sabres were 'real', it would ALL be fencing. The sword fighting they are using is ludicrous. But that's not really the point.

Yes, I did some fencing in high school. It takes sometimes very little movements to properly parry. Although, with light sabre fighting the blows are a lot more powerful. I wonder if basic fencing technique would stand to that. Does anyone know what happens when a Kendo-expert meets a fencing expert?

I know what happens when samurai meet fencers, the samurai get pasted. They're designed to be one hit killers, katana are meant to be used for one slash, and are then sheathed again. Fencers are used to prolongued fighting.

That's the point with sabres. They wouldn't NEED power- one poke would kill your opponent. Fencing, concentrating on centre-play, would be superior to ANY other form, with their extraneous movements.

Yes, a massless blade would be momentumless,I think the style of fighting would be completely different to what we actually see. Fencing, as boring as it is, would be the superior style.

Maybe we should bring that thread back... though actually, we have covered most of it here.

It's fascinating though. I don't know too much about it, but when I see those Kendo training schools with the fast continuous slashing, it seems hard for a fencer to fight that properly. But then he watches a lot, parries and pokes at the right time. Hmmmm, interesting.

All he needs is control of the centre- as Obi-Wan always keeps in thr ANH duel, which was a fencing match- and most the Kendo moves become useless.
