To me there blasters shots are like there are bouncing around in the chamber because when I would play the old starwars battle front when shooting fast your shots they will start to move around on there own in any direction in the general area you are shooting at. The assault was good for cover shooting but the small blasters had more accuracy even when shooting a little faster and when moving around and don't feel as much as they are bouncing around and it's the same for a few other blasters such as long range blasters and the wookies cross bolts

I heard it as 'Every time we've fought like this and I have the high ground I've won. Give up, it's done.' It was one last plea to Anakin.

Two big and very crucial/important variable in the high ground fight: 1) Obi-Wan was on solid, stable land while Anakin was in a floating barge 2) Anakin jumped over Obi-Wan, effectively taking the "high ground", but also having little to no control over his movement

Yeah, that was my thinking too. Like, Anakin wasn't within range to take a swipe with his lightsaber, his only options were a) flee, or b) try to jump for solid ground to continue the attack, and with Obi-Wan ready to intercept and take him down, he had no way out of that position if he tried to continue attacking.

There is a theory, that Obi-Wan knew exactly, that the high ground actually gives disadvantage in a duel. But that he used Anakin's inexperience and arrogance to goad him into exposing himself through taking the high ground.

Just a theory, but one that does make sense from a psychological standpoint.

They tested on an actual hill similar to the one in like in the Movie and there results were interesting. To summarize being on the high ground sucked as you couldn't really get good footing without exposing yourself, namely legs. or without compromising your balance. Worth a watch for those curious.

While in a standoff with actual stormtroopers, Kanan said to Rex, "Wow. You really do shoot like a stormtrooper," because Rex kept missing his targets. Rex responded by yelling, "It's this helmet. I can't see!" He then took off the helmet, chucked it at the opposing stormtroopers, and then immediately began hitting every one of his shots with perfect accuracy.

The problem is stormtroopers helmets and armor what makes moving clumsy and vision bad.

I guess if Colby was force-sensitive he might have deflected the bolts even better 😉 So I guess this is totally possible in-universe. But the test with dodging the bullets still missed one thing: although they changed it from "sniper position" to having to get the gun up before shooting - it is then already in sniper position again, perfectly in the direction of the target (standing still). In reality the targets are moving before or while being detected by the stormtroopers and the troopers do not just have to raise their weapon and it is already directly pointed at the target. I think it should have been tested with an actually hand held gun and the opponents coming round corners and suddenly facing each other. That might have given a different result.

I'm no longer a Star Wars fan, but even I'm excited about all of this.

Also a curiosity is that Anakin did the jump because he was fascinated with the duel between Obi Wan and Maul in the Phantom Menace, when Obi Wan jumps over Maul and cuts him in half. He tried to do the same move because of his arrogance but forgot Obi Wan trained him and knew the move better than him, and this shows the whole point of the fight that is to prove that experience and focus win against raw power most of the time.

The reason the higher ground is important isn't because of any typical Jedi trait, it's simply because the plot required a dramatic moment.

Always saw blasters more like a plasma bolt. Kinda like a ball lightning phenomenon. Also as for the high ground. Anakin would have to jump onto shore.

So in normal fight, highground is more likely to be a detriment, here it makes sense.

It IS canonically a plasma bolt. not laser. Lightsabers are also plasma.

Since Obi Wan trained Anakin, Obi knows more about Anakin's limits than anyone and was 99% sure Anakin could not defend against the high ground position by an opponent with Obi's skill.

I always hear Obi-Wan saying "I have the high ground" meaning "I'm in the right."

39:57 Lol, i bet that was it, "its over Anakin, i have the moral high ground"

Loving the recreations, who doesn't love Star Wars stuff? One point about the Light-Sabre dual though - Obi-Wan did have the high ground but Vader-in-waiting vaulted over Obi and got sliced and diced. Whilst air-borne, Anakin would have the height advantage surely? I realise that would have been very hard to re-enact but it is an important aspect of that particular fight methinks. Still enjoyed Jamie and Adam's enthusiastic efforts, they sure payed for it with a few bruises I imagine. PS: the blaster bolts are impossible to dodge unless Stormtroopers are firing them, can't see for s@*t in those helmets!

I can't recall hearing the myth "the good guys always dodge the lasers" even once. It's always been "stormtroopers can't aim". Feels like the people asking for that myth were in the single digits, or it wasn't asked for at all and just put in for content.

Laughed so hard at the "Light saber expert". Should have brought a Hema trainer not whatever that "expert" is.

Lightsabers aren't lasers, you'd not only have to magically "stop" the photons. You'd also need to wear eye protection, in which on the film they appear to be bare-eyed. Dr. Michio Kaku explained this and created a challenge to make a real-life lightsaber. Which optimally would be done with plasma.

This is nothing new, it's been talked since the 1977 release of the film. As for plasma, you still have the same problem. Plasma doesn't act as a solid, so two plasma swords would simply pass through each other. Plasma torches have existed for quite some time... yet they haven't been weaponised.

My issue with the move out of the way testing is that they have the "weapon" on a fixed stand. The variable of the unfixed weapon may make an additional variable that could make this possible.

Human reaction times are measurable, and anything covering a distance faster than that time, combined with the time taken to move to the right point in space, will be impossible to physically intercept other than by luck. For example, tennis players often do this when serving, even though the opponent can see when the ball is about to be hit.

They SOOO missed an opportunety of having Jamie have his barret placed on his head in the opening. I hoped they tried it, and it didn't work.

The most important question is. If such laser swords existed, would they give any resistance when brought into contact with each other, or would they clinch with each other ? Laser is light so its something immaterial.

I have one problem the lightsaber expert you brought seems to be a movie twirl dude (dont have a name for it) and while that is fun and all id like to see it tested with wma practioners rather than two amatures taught by someone who is not a sword expert. Now i want that for a very specific reason i think with wma you will find that lower ground has the destinct advantage because the higher grounds advantage is fear factor which wouldnt effect wma practitioners and if you are on lower ground you can keep your hands up in a hanging guard and be pretty much protected from all attack angles and the reverse would be you can hold your sword low but that reduces your reach and you still have more angles to defend. As for the blasters very cool very fun wish mythbusters was still around to deliver on all this awsome stuff

"It's like a dance" that's because it is. The light sabre fights in the prequels are what's known as flynning (after actor erold flynn) who was often matched with basil rathbourne for his fights, rathbourne was a superior Olympic level fencer but as he played the "bad guy" he was told to just hit flynn's sword and make him looks good.

Actually the lightsbre fights are based on overly stylised WuShu sword forms, part of a set of Chinese martial arts. But all stage and film combat is carefully choreographed, and is almost always highly exaggerated to enhance the visual appeal. This was happening long before Errol Flynn came along, it's just that he was one of the most famous actors who used it on screen.

"It's over Anakin, i have the high ground" You know, there's more to it than just physically being at a higher elevation than your opponent. Having the high ground means so much more, just like placing one's arm and hand over someone's shoulder can show dominance. He has the physical as well as moral, mental and skill high ground. There's really no point in Anakin trying to overcome insurmountable odds. Yet he still does, ensuring his own destruction.

​@another3997 in the old lore (legends), it talks quite a bit about how lightsabers are, in fact, plasma, utilizing an intense magnetic field to maintain the shape of them. I don't know much about the mechanics behind it but I assume it's more about the magnetic fields that cause the problems. As lightsabers are described as being "Attracted" to one another and the blades more or less "merge" at the point of contact rather than collide. Though why you can't push through another blade is a whole other matter.

The whole point was that Anakin's platform was about to sink into the lava and he had to choose between surrender, or make a risky move in order to keep engaging Obi-Wan. Him having to make that maneauver gave Obi-Wan an opening to strike. That's what Obi-Wan's advantage was. Not the high ground as a generically applicable advantage, but the high ground as a situational advantage.

@MrSpannners

No. The platform wasn't sinking, and the point was that Anakin is overconfident and Obi-Wan knows it. So he makes a situation to draw him into making a mistake.

I know this is for fun, tv and science. But I cant help point out that the main reason (in lroe) Obi-Wan having the high ground meant he won was because he had betean Maul from a low ground disadvantage in Ep1 meaning he knew what to expect and how to defend from such an attack that Anakin was going to try. So he didn't mean that because he was higher it was a default win but more of a warning that Obi-wan knew what to do and that what Anakin was going to try and do would fail

All humans have limited reaction times, no matter how much you train you cannot do the impossible. Professional fighters still get hit and tennis players can't intercept every serve. That doesn't mean the they are slow or lack skill. Whether by luck or by design, a few of the projectiles were blocked, but it's not very entertaining when they say it's just pure luck. Besides, on at least one occasion, the "sword" was moved before the projectile hit it.

I believe the true advantage of the high ground is telling your opponent that you have the high ground so they try to out-high-ground you and open themselves up to be opened up.

Paintballs go 190. Could have saved a lot of time lol

Plasma! "Laser rifle"? More like a Plasma rifle. "Lightsabre"? More like a Plasmasabre. Plasma could be shot at the relatively slow speed and Plasma can be contained in an electromagnetic field which "could" be similar to the trusty jedi weapon of choice.

yea having two teams really is better than just one

Have the mythbusters been tested to see if they can actually bust a myth when they have none of the training etc or skills/abilities that the Jedi would have

Are they called laser blasters in the movies though? I can't think of any time someone called them that. They are just called blasters. And the reason they are so much slower than light is because they aren't laser's, as Adam as a fan would know. They fire packets of, I think, plasma or some gas. What they mined on Bespin, that gas, was used for blaster ammo. So of course its slower. Same story for lightsabres, that isn't light in the blade, its super heated plasma contained in a magnetic bubble. Again, Adam would no this as a fan and yet keeps getting it wrong in this episode.

I think the high ground might mean something different for jedis cause they can super-jump or smth

Stormtroopers never miss....oh wait!

The glaringly obvious differences in the higher ground test is both aren't fictitious Jedi light saber masters, neither jumps from a lower point over the head of the higher point and lastly, they reverted back to flailing quick jab moves rather than what they were shown. But as I noted, the idea of this entire move is based from fiction, about a fictitious enhancing ability, with weapons that at present (if ever) don't exist in a fighting style that's been created but is not fully practicable as again, the enhanced movement ability to move significantly quicker, farther and higher means we cannot replicate any of it to any level of equal comparison

Light has no weight, so the logic behind the speed of light and mass might be. That the laser may compound the light, into a more heavy state, that actually hurts, and therefore the light is moving slower that light. I am just spitballing here 😂

I mean it could be manipulation of sub atomic particles, it’s just impossible to really nail down bc in the end its sci-fi *fantasy* and the focus is on world building not realism.

I feel like the myths in this one are a bit far fetched as far as replication and scientific method. I liked the first Star Wars myth special more, here’s hoping it gets uploaded!

47:40 is not bustet, it is realy truth. U find in the history Europa in middle ages but also the jedi or sword fighter are trained for years also trained to fight on diffrent terrain. and we shouldt forget that Anikan had to jump towards Obiwan.

i thought they gonna consult some martial artist or fencing coach turnout they got the masterrrrr

Lol colby didnt move his saber for shit before it hit it 😂

Back in the day, when Disney was not involved into Star Wars😓

12:40 Jamie: "when it comes to swords Adam and i are pretty much a black slate".. Fruit Ninja EPisode Jamie " adam should go first as he is a bona fide Qualified Swordsman" you can even see adams holding and stance screams "I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING" and is faking being bad,

38:39 you felt it on your what, Jamie?

Obi wan didn't have the high ground against Maul

24:42 you created an imperial blaster

How on Earth can you simulate a swordfight without allowing strikes to the head?
