@@Forrealnow09 what alt right shit are you talking about? Taking issue with poor writing and the retconning of well established characters and story elements is now “alt right”? Also, I love Mark for his portrayal of Luke, and for his hard work to preserve the legacy of the character he portrayed. That said, let’s not forget who it is that has done the most damage and intentional raking of the Luke Skywalker character: Disney… They prioritize and align with corporate DEI objectives being pushed by specific key leaders within the organization at the cost of beloved character arks and well established Star Wars canon. Theory’s positions on Star Wars media produced by Disney have nothing to do with race, gender, or sexual orientation. Do better… Lastly, if Mark or Mark’s legal team were going to take legal action against Theory then they would have when he first revealed the Luke CGI he produced. It’s fair use because theory is making fan fiction. If you were on Mark’s legal team you would be an embarrassment to him..

No idea Nick Gillard was such a funny and cheery guy . Wish this was another hour long, you two are the best duo
Nick Has been in absolutely everything, from bond films to star wars, The man needs to write a book on his experiences. He's done so much he's probably forgotten most of it. There is no one he hasn't met I'm sure.
Down to Earth and doesn't take himself too seriously. There can never be enough Nick Gillard. Great stuff!
Disney should’ve hired him!! unbelievable! Edit: Clarification, I don’t think he should do it anymore, the ship has long set sail. It just would’ve been nice to have his talent in the botched sequel trilogy, could’ve made the fights waaaaay better. It’s just the principle that they didn’t even bother to bring him back.

This is peak Star Wars content.
1st of all, Thanks so much for this mini interview with Nick Gillard. It’s about time someone gives him his props for his amazing body of work!! This is a mini master class from the best Star Wars fight choreographer Nick Gillard. Mad respect to Star Wars Theory for tapping to this movie legend’s VAST knowledge for your next film. It’s sad that Disney is passing on him, & the Acolyte’s crummy story & fight scenes definitely shows their lack of faith in a man who’s well versed in sword fighting for movies & making it look realistic & phenomenal!
This dude is actually hilarious on top of being a legend lol
Watched the whole thing from start to finish, what an amazing video, never lost interest throughout all 40 mins. Bring nick on more🙏🏻 y’all friendship is funny af😂

23:45 is when they start talking about the elephant in the room "The Acolyte". Actually hilarious to see the immediate reaction from someone that actually knows Star Wars and be like "but they'd sense it right away right?" etc. Goes to show how disconnected Disney are.

As far as the 10 v 1, have Vader use the Force to Force Push a couple off of him into the blades of his comrades. Cuts down the numbers fast to get to the Windu duel.

Theory and Nick what a duo
Nick Gillard! He seems so cool, casually telling Star Wars jokes and stories, from the behind the scenes too, as if he doesn't know the magnitude of his importance, and other stories like alien queen and Sean Connery You should make a video fighting against him, just for fun, looks like the apprentice still needs some lessons
Man, breakfast and a walk in in the park with Nick sounds like a great day! I'd be asking him so much about fight choreography.
Nick isnt just a George employ he does care about the lore and the details of SW. Love when actors or in this case, a coreography, respects and understand SW❤

I can relate to Theory when everything is see outside has some resemblance to Starwars
Theory, as a longtime fan I wanted to say this vlog was quite enlightening. If you don’t mind some subtle advice - and of course I don’t know you - but from what I see here and I’ve seen on your channel, I believe you are at your best when humble, adapting to the circumstances around you freely, and remaining always willing to learn, even if you feel embarrassed in the moment by not having all the answers. You have great power, you have many of the “answers” people seek right now- but it will likely only come to fruition when you achieve focus and balance, once you center yourself. Finding the middle ground between what you know you must/want to do and what others tell you to do is the key to all of it. I know you can do it. I know you will succeed in achieving your goals if you stay in that centered/balanced place. Thank you for keeping the Star Wars community alive all these years through some really rough lows. It is worth it. Redemption and justice in the name of peace and freedom will prevail. God bless, or as I should probably say- may the Force be with you.
Awesome interview btw, such a cool relaxed format with the lunch and walking around, like 2 buddies.
Hearing about you guys talk about Vader EP three literally was giving me goosebumps. I can't wait.

31:25 that’s so funny, Lucas didn’t really give a fuck. One thing about that Palpatine fight I never liked was how it looked fine when it’s a double or a CGI Palpatine, when it’s actually Ian McDiamird it instantly looks awkward and weird. Now we have a reason for that.

Once they move out of the office after kit fisto is killed it gets better because they use the stunt double more. I understand George’s decision if he wanted people to see Ian’s face. It’s not great execution but ultimately the important part of the scene is when Anakin shows up so I can’t complain too much.

That was really cool. Nick is a totally down to earth guy.
The thing about surrounding Vader with 10, it isn't always bad to have some people "waiting" for their turn. You could also have 1-2 of them trying to use force powers on Vader while the others try fighting him. One takes his saber away, and as the Jedi are about to strike him, Vader uses his power to stop the swing, then sending the Jedi flying, scattering them along with covering the room with dust/debris. In the dark, dust is everywhere, Vaders red lightsaber glows and who has it? The guy who used his force powers to take it away from him? Or Vader? Could be cool. Or in the confusion the red light saber glows, the other Jedi strike but as the dust settles, they realised they struck their own as he was beind held completely still by Vader for thinking he could just take his weapon away, until they turn around and realise he is behind them.
