>>64541960

Hamill recalled: "We choreographed a large portion of this sword fight in 'Empire' only to have George come in, look at it and say, 'I don't like it when you take your hands away. You have to have both hands on the lightsaber at all times.'

"I said, 'What are you talking about?'

"He said, 'Well it's heavy, it's like 50 pounds or something.'

"So we had to go back and take it out. You have so much more flexibility when you can spin around and switch hands and whatever."

Which is why watching the prequels made him crazy.

"These guys are doing everything but twirling them like batons!" Hamill said. "They're taking their hands off, and in their desire to make a more elaborate presentation, [George] threw that rule right out the window. I think it was really smart for George to rescind that rule. I know how hard it is, so I watched it through much different eyes and [thought], 'My God, I wonder how long it took them to do that?'"

OT fights are way too fucking slow. Luke and Vader's fight in RotJ was pretty good though. Prequel fights are straight up garbage. Kylo Ren's fights are honestly the best. Nigga puts so much force in those strikes, you can tell he really wants to fuck people up when he actually tries.

Quigon was getting up there in age.
Yoda was nearing the end of his long life span.
Dooky was probably older than Quigon
so age shouldnt be a factor in the dance-off.

the reality is the prequels fell within the late 90's matrix hype, when everybody's trying to be matrix like and doing flips and kicks and pseudo wire-fu moves

When the hype was over, everybody realized how silly it was, but it was too late.

>As the two Jedi made it to the General's quarters and attempted to free the "captive" Chancellor, Dooku arrived, flanked by two super battle droids. He made a flipping leap from the balcony to the main floor, his lightsaber in hand, and ordered the Jedi to surrender their weapons, so as not to "make a mess of things in front of the Chancellor." Kenobi stated to Dooku that the Sith Lord would not be escaping this time.[2]

The Jedi charged at Dooku together, as Kenobi had originally planned three years earlier on Geonosis, with the Count retreating, on the defensive. During a standoff, Skywalker told Dooku that his powers had doubled since the last time they met. Dooku,[2] confident that his plan was about to unfold,[31] remarked that with "twice the pride, double the fall," certain that the Jedi would lose.[2] The saber skills of the two Jedi had dramatically improved during the intervening years, however, they initially did not reveal this to the Count, using only basic sword techniques.[31]

When both Jedi suddenly changed their saber styles mid-battle, and began to wear down the Sith Lord's defenses, Dooku, who had initially been toying with them, was caught off guard, but was able to readjust his tactics for a more serious confrontation.[31]

Eventually, Dooku managed to Force-push Kenobi to the floor, only to have Skywalker force him up the stairs. The droids that had accompanied Dooku attacked Kenobi, who easily destroyed them both. As Kenobi rejoined the duel, Dooku was able to gain the advantage when he used the Force to levitate Kenobi and kick Skywalker into a wall at the same time. The Count then Force-choked Kenobi and telekinetically hurled him across the room into the railing on the leftmost side of the balcony, which Dooku brought down upon the Jedi Master for good measure. Getting to his feet, Skywalker carried on the fight alone.[2]
Betrayed
>>
>>64546304


>As their one-on-one duel reached the main floor, Dooku taunted Skywalker, remarking that he felt fear, hate and anger, but that he did not use them, a typical Dun Möch application.[2] This proved to be a mistake, however—Anakin was indeed afraid, afraid of losing Obi-Wan. The taunt enraged Skywalker, and he channeled his hatred of Dooku into his swordplay, momentarily tapping into the dark side of the Force.[31]

>Refusing to be intimidated by the Sith Lord's victory over Kenobi, Skywalker came at Dooku in a frenzied demonstration of Djem So, hammering Dooku's defenses. He quickly gained the advantage, at one point striking at Dooku so hard that the Count's blade singed his own shoulder.[31] With a swift maneuver, he proceeded to sever both of the Count's hands, doubly avenging the loss of his right arm in their first encounter. Dooku was now at the Jedi Knight's mercy.[2]

>Expecting his Master to intervene, and save his life, as Sidious had promised to do in the case of defeat, Dooku instead was shocked to see the Dark Lord command Skywalker to deliver the deathblow, and it was then that Dooku came to realize Sidious' second deception—the Sith Master never intended for the Count to survive—he had simply been used to create the Confederacy of Independent Systems and make Sidious's plan for galactic domination truly possible. On Palpatine's command, Skywalker—despite hesitating for a moment—executed the Sith Lord by decapitation.

Why was Obi-wan able to get through his own bout of having a waifu without killing 30 children?

>>64545397
It's a leftover from the original scripts, which was the way the movie was shot. Basically, Anakin believes that the Jedi were actually evil, that was the main reason he became Vader, instead of turning to save Padme's life. Lucas just edited it very well in post-production, to make that plot line less important, and bring out the other ones he liked.
>>
>>64544704
Wow, do you have ADD? The Luke vs Vader duel in ESB is the best one in the series. Its long, not slow. Its very tense, atmospheric and reveals a lot of major plot points and emotions. Theres several aspects to the fight, like Vader force throwing random shit at him and hiding in a corridor for an ambush. It was the perfect balance of emergent story telling and depth.

Also I like how you have to drop in the tired "Prequel fights are bad hurr" card like as if it boosts your argument or give you street cred. You just simply have shit fucking taste, anyone can see that.

I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, ‘cause I've worked in a lot of offices and I tell you people do that all the time.

Because Obi is based.

He is one of the few Jedi Masters who truly excelled in almost every field.

Had he been slightly more force powered he could have been the one tbqh

I like it. A complete juxtaposition from Episode II where Anakin is too headstrong and rushes in himself.

> If I had seen “Revenge of the Sith” in real time, in a theatre upon its release, in 2005, I think that, at the moment when Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid), sizzling in the blue lightning that Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) reflects back at him, cries out to Anakin (Hayden Christensen), “Power! Unlimited Power!,” I would have leaped out of my seat yelling with excitement. The entire movie is filled with an absolute splendor of the pulp sublime, and that moment is its very apogee. Lucas reaches historic heights in the filming of action: the martial artistry of Anakin and Obi-Wan’s double duel versus Dooku, the gaping maw of outer space and of the airshaft into which the heroic duo drops, Obi-Wan’s light-sabre fight with the four-armed Grievous, and, above all, the apocalyptic inferno of the confrontation of Obi-Wan and Anakin (which, regrettably, cuts back to Yoda and Emperor, a much duller battle). I watched these sequences over and over—happily, with the sound off to get rid of the musical score—and was repeatedly and unflaggingly amazed by Lucas’s precise, dynamic, wildly imaginative direction.

But no-one complains when Anakin and Obi Wan are taken out by two small injuries.
Kylo only stopped fighting because he was shot by an overpowered laser crossbow, stabbed several times with a lightsaber and sliced in the face.

This. Lucas is a master of visual and musical storytelling. He's a painter of moving pictures and a damn good one.

He just doesn't give a fuck about actors or dialogue, because for him they exist to move the story to the next scene. He's like a master silent era director who refuses to adapt to talkies.

I wish he'd had Kasdan on board to write the prequel dialogue, because 90% of what I don't like about them is the cringeworthy shit that comes out of the character's mouths

Is obi-wan the most tragic hero of all times
>train a kid you don't really want to, but will just because your dead mate wants you to
>train him the best you can, teach him the ways of force and sabre fighting etc
>he becomes the best of the best
>have epic adventures with him, become supreme bros
>mate turns to the dark side
>try to convince him that he's wrong
>he's too consumed by the dark side and tries to kill you
>thinks to himself, that he must kill him, his best friend, because he has gone bad
>can't pull himself to that, has to leave him dying in lava on some shitty planet
>leaves everything behind and spends his life watching over his former friends kid for the next 20 years
>kid turns out alright
>decides to go on epic adventure with him, like with his father before him
>die in the hands of your best friend to buy his kid time to escape, clinging in the hope, that he will turn alright unlike his father

Obi-wan is the true hero of the saga

Actually Lucas literally used several different takes to form a complete sentence, there was a reddit thread a few days ago that show Anis face morph when talking to Sheev at the opera.

I think this is one of the best sw movies but I hate the whole section of Obi vs Grievous, like I have to fast forward it every time. The lightsaber battle is super short, the chase is retarded, and the fist fight climax is super weak.

This was a great duel. I love how Kylo swings his lightsaber around, no fucks given.
