first if i post a thread you dont have to answer

and second why dont you read the replies i have put on here

i did say that you made a good point but it was your point you did not actually answer to mine

my point being that GL went over the top with Ep2+Ep3

so no i dont think i am a doofis and maybe that you are blind

only if you werent a fan of the original series alot of people just wanted answers to there questions and without all the swinging and spinning
they could still have had there answers

surely in that case ob1-adobe did not make that greater point at all cause yoda was still well in-tune with the force surely he could still have done the hopping around thing and taught luke some kick ass moves

That's maybe true...but they didn't try to catch the public who are fans of the old trilogy with these films, they were also trying to entertain a new generation, so the chances that they lost that public is bigger they came up with some poor lightsaberfighting.

i aint saying that the new saber style is poor i am saying that the old styles are and that if the OT is set before the PT then surely technology is more advanced and luke would be a better skill with the blade than darth but i see what you mean about aiming at a wider audience

What I meant is that if they made the fighting in the PT more poor so that it doesn't look that different from the OT, THEN you have a big chance that you'll lose the audience...

These are just the Jedi in their glory days and fall...Luke was a new generation to begin with. That explains enough for me.

well Im not a pro but Ive sparred often with kendos(only when sober) and luke n daddys battle in ROTJ was a typical power style fight....only old azz obi n vader battle sucked.......but fer bein old with no tech enhancments he fended vader well enough...though Im old and a fan one of them that was a kid in line when ANH was in theatres...lol...so I like em all anyways....ESB Luke n Daddy battle was coolest I think though.....only maul n obi end fight stood out in PT in my opinion...the rest to flashy ...but then again Im fitting in old man categorywheelchair

using more Force doens't mean they HAVE to do more acrobatics...it just wasn't necessary IMO in the OT. That's how i justify the dullness of the duels. Like Obi and Darth's in ANH, where they're just probing each other's minds rather than go all out flying.

George Lucas just thinks that EVERYONE was better in the Prequel days. That's how it is; it's his creation, after all.

The PT sabers fights were fair, Maul, I agree, was the best.

It was the unnecessary twirling, flipping and dancing of Qui-Gon and Yoda, the pointless swinging that Anakin and Obi-Wan did in the Mustafar control room. (their blades didn't even touch yet they were going at it like no tomorrow)

Yoda, IMO, had one of the worst and stupidest styles. He went EVERYWHERE in his fights. There was more of him doing the Kermit, than there was of him actually crossing blades.

Dooku was fair. And Palpatine and Mace were decent enough. Their fight seemed more ANH or ROTJ style, I liked it for that.

True, I noticed in the MAce vs. Sideous match that it was goin really slow, which was a good thing. Only thing is that if GL was hoping to show some of that good ol' Vapaad fury....it wasn't good enough.

BTW for anyone who has read most of the NJO books, what sabre style does luke use in the NJO?

GL was tryign to catch the eye of this generation,. During the timeline of the OT, graphics and stuff were normaly crappy, and so people focused more on the acting itself and diologue rather than the technoligy involved. And to tell you the truth the graphics in GL's movies were stunning, the best of its time. But in our current generation we have already seen Final Fantasy" Advent children, Jurassic park, Microsofts crap. And now alot of people have high expectations for movies. And on top of it mosrt people are lazy, and are subject to eye candy more than talk. So GL could have used the same tech he used in the OT, and have better diolouge, or he could baffle us with BS. He did the latter. I can see his problem though. You can make a movie with absolutly no plot holes, great diolouge. But if no one went to see it, because they thought it was boring, than it wouldn't matter. He would ve screwed.

I think that the Mace vs. Sideous match was the best and maybe should have been longer... its a shame that they gave yoda ages in episode two against the count for him to just look stupid and make ridiculous noises whilst jumping around. Also in the Mace vs. Sideous fight i think they held thier sabers over thier heads too much, it looked too controlled.

I have read most of them, they are quite good.

I don't know what saber style Luke uses,.. maybe a mix of Anakin and obi-wans?

It doesn't matter if it was in a book, though.

George Lucas didn't invent Vaapad or any of the other styles, nor are they mentioned in the films, so technically.... there isn't a vaapad.

I called you a n00b becuase you are. You post poor topics, have horrible grammar, and have to chime in on any post, on any thread about how you could make a better sabre. 🙄

Not to mention:

1.) The first thread in this forum deals with using EU stuff while discussing the movies. (EU=Expanded Universe...=books, video games, comics, etc...)

2.) The topic of how the saber styles in the first and second trilogies differ has been discussed since 1999. Then again in 2002. And a few more times last year after ROTS was released.

You can use the search button at the bottom of your screen to find an old thread before you make a new one.
