The 2nd lightsaber duel in TPM looked fake to me.

Re: The fake dual

Okay. Whatever you say boss.

Re: The fake dual

No no no!..no speeding up..*remembers the "bad" Bond movie with George Lasenby's stupid fight scenes and shudders*

Re: The fake dual

Well they did it in the Matrix didn't they? That looked pretty cool to me.

Re: The fake dual

Cool but some what fake.

Re: The fake dual

Yes of course, but then it wasn't meant to look real. The actual Matrix itself isn't real anyway. Its a computer program.

Re: The fake dual

Yes but SW is supposed to be real..not a massive computer illusion (plotwise)..so no sped up fight scenes...😛

Re: The fake dual

Well its still sci-fi, so I guess anything can happen, especially when Jedi are involved. But still I would prefer it with no speeded up fights. I like them the way they are.

Have you seen OB1 in the dual???
I mean, he twirls his lightsabre every time he sees a camera filming him, if he DIDN'T do that he had a lot more time fighting Maul (and perhaps killing him in a BETTER way)

Actually, yerss, to save me the effort, there is a better thread abouit all this somewhere. It's called 'X (where 'X' is some weird japanese term)- the art of sabre fighting.' It was one of the earliest threads I posted in.

I thought the fight was good.....it wasn't fake looking.....( which fight we talking about his time.....TPM or ANH or ESB or ROTJ???)

well, according to the TITLE it's the second duel in TPM...

Sorry Ush, haven't found them...
or you it's still here?

I'll take a look for it later. It will save us having to go through everything again.

Whoever looks at titles anyway????....and I though the 2nd duel was great....very fast and energetic with a health spark of energy to it....Fake it was NOT!

you are looking at the speed, you have to look at WHERE they hit the other

Yeah. and it is STILL good... the original poster is wrong. I must find that bloody thread.

it was indeed a good fight, but some moves weren't that good!

Trust me, Nick Gillard knows the works. There were no moves that were actually technically bad- Ewan McGregor gets a bit over flashy, though.

ow yeah, sabre-boy again 🙄

I bet I can defeat him in a swordfight

hmmm the question is....would I pay money to see that fight.....heck Yeah!

it's not everyday you see Ewan get wacked
