Overdone lightsaber duel...

I think the part where Anakin and OB1 are duelling in the control room, and they both start twirling their sabers around without hitting each other was really lame and overdone.

Also, directly after this slightly comical sequence, they both try force pushing each other, and then both fly off in opposite directions. Again, lame, and was very reminiscent of Matrix revolutions when smith and neo punch each other and similarly fly off in opp. directions. Lamo!!

Agreed the twirling kinda sucked, but the force push was pretty cool imo. I loved how they were even in the force push. It just proves again that Obi wan is just as strong if not stronger then the pussy little chosen one.

they both have equal force strength i guess and they are practically the equal strength, but anakin is less experience that is why he got his legs chopped off.

Yah, the saber spinning seemed kinda pointless and lame. Oh well.

it shows how alike they are, both tried the same set of moves at the same time

I liked it alot, and it was awesome. Niether one can find a weakness in each other, and try to outdue one another, but they both know each others moves.

The fight was pretty cool

I don't.

I thought the part where they're simualtaneously trying to counter each other but not landing anything was more funny than when they force pushed each other.

Yup, that's exactly the point, but obviously some people can't pick up on things that are that obvious just as some people thought Palpatine wasn't faking it when he was whining his," I'm so weak" line.

hahahah true true. same thoughts here

that part was the sh*t! i wonder if that could happen in real life...

the force-push part was kinda iffy tho!

BTW, Mace totally owned Palpz that time!

You aren't much of a star wars fan if you're critisizing everything that happens even when the plot is obvious!

I really thought it was great!!

The only problem was it was very blurry and bleeds together in the film version as apose to the D-film version!!!

Had some friends that saw it out of state in aigital theater, . . . and they were just blown away . .

it was crisper & clearer . . .and things were much sharper!!!!

For those of you that haven't seen it in a D-theater , you really can't judge the film until it comes out on dvd! 😉

it's not as if they were standing twirling for 5 minutes it was just a couple of seconds, it rocked and so did the force push,
True fans would not care and enjoy the fight for what it is, a fantastic duel.

but the best lightsaber duel is hands-down, DaRTH maul vs. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon!

KICKASS!

No way. It used to be the best fight, but Anakin vs Obi-wan replaces it because it had so much more than cool moves in the fight. Anakin vs Obi-wan has the emotion that the OT fights had and the quick fight style that the PT has combined.

The twirling of the sabers was an obvious attempt to find a time to slice at each other. That's not lame, that's combat.

I'm sure you'd know, Kozz.
