Star Wars Episode III Lightsaber Stunts

A behind the scenes look at what went into the lightsaber stunts and choreography in Star Wars Episode III. Edited together with mostly-edited footage from the Revenge Of The Sith DVD featurettes. I don't own this stuff.

    This is a great edit. It's frustrating that many people can't praise the content without bashing the new films. Like, this is how it used to be with annoying Original Trilogy fans. Legit couldn't go into a comment section for anything 'Star Wars' without having to read a bunch of people moaning and groaning about the prequels. "They ruined Star Wars", "Bad writing", "Plot holes", Terrible acting", "They fundamentally failed to capture what Star Wars is all about", yadda yadda etc., same stuff. Regardless of the specific opinions, can we not be a little better than the last generation of peeved fans that didn't get what they wanted for whatever reason? Geez, there really is no escape...

    I agree. Like yeah, we get it folks, you hate Disney. Wah wah wah. Could be A LOT worse. Star Wars is like a toy store, everyone comes out with different things in their bags, but no need to go crazy and treat it like Black Friday. "But it's MY Star Wars!" "No it's MINNNE!" Like stfu already. This is the reason new fans don't want to get into Star Wars, because any other fan with different opinions lack the intelligence to give a proper response other than "fuck you" or flat out whining. Just let the fans enjoy what they want.

We need more Star Wars content with people dedicated to creating awesome lightsaber fights. It really makes a difference.

    They spent MONTHS rehearsing the Lightsaber fights for the Prequels. The acting for most of the prequels may not have been well-liked (I personally don't find anything wrong with the infamous "I hate sand" dialogue), but the fights have a lot of heart and dedication. The Sequel trilogy has no heart or soul when it comes to the story or the fights.

The fact of the matter is that George didn't care how people pronounced anything because he wanted there to be regional pronunciations

    And you know this because you own a real lightsaber? how would you know the physics of a lightsaber in relation to the person wielding it? for all we know Rey could've had the blade extended at full length without it being adjusted on the hilt which is why she put extra effort into her swings because of a longer blade, and Kylo's saber, tell us how the physics would apply to a cracked Kyber Crystal in a hilt purposely constructed with two lateral exhaust vents to divert the extra heat generated by the crystal from an unstable blade, share your knowledge on the physics of a lightsaber. Explain how they have no technique, I am assuming you're referring to Luke, Rey and Kylo right? because all three have an imperfect technique which is still a technique regardless. Lucas wanted the saber fights to be like they were in the PT because it was during the era when the Jedi were in their prime and Masters of their weapons. Anakin and Kenobi trained their entire life either as part of the Jedi Academy or with a Master Jedi, Luke and Rey didn't have that kind of opportunity which is why their style was simplistic and stripped down. I'm sure if they spent more time honing their saber skills they would be like Anakin and Kenobi but they didn't get that chance and as for Kylo, he was more skilled than Rey because of his time training with Luke as you can see his technique was more defined.

    @@NoCluYT So you based your theory off of a movie? I thought your approach towards physics would be more detailed, intelligent and knowledgeable on beams of light or plasma containing a highly-engineered electromagnetic field, sadly I was wrong. I know energy has no weight besides, that wasn't the point of my reply. Beams of light or plasma are tricky to contain, we would need to imagine a material with practically zero thermal conductivity to use for the saber grip. To overcome the heat transfer through the air, the best way to mitigate this issue would be to surround the plasma ellipse in an unknown gas capable of alleviating the heat, you would know that if you studied physics. And the comment about technique? you answered nothing really.

    ​@@NoCluYT To comment on technique, I think the stunt coordinators made the right choice when it came to choreography that their technique was displayed in a raw fashion due to lack of training even though they (Luke and Rey) did the acrobatically fancy flip moves. Their saber technique was unpolished for they both wore themselves out before the fight even ended as Luke did in TESB against Vader and Rey in TROS on the DS wreckage against Kylo. As for the physics of the lightsaber, I guess I am just curious on how one would handle such a weapon if it were possible to harness that type of energy into such a small and confined piece of hardware technology as a saber hilt.

Avengers movies be looking kind of limp and not as much on this level. Always stale, full of a stunt crew, and not enough of the character in it as their bodies turn into CGI models soon as they’re a foot off the ground.

Soresu by itself is the epitome of defense, known as the Way of the Mynock or the Resilience Form, it is based on fending off your enemy's offense until they tire.

    I am old so I watched all Prequels in the cinema. I really liked Episode 1 and I've always kinda not-liked-as-much the other two. Storytelling-wise, they are fantastic. Acting was also never my reason for not being entirely happy. I do remember thinking "Man, I miss the puppets from the OT". Just something about things being actually THERE opposed to "look at this green box? That's Yoda. Act with him". I *get* that Lucas was enjoying the new technology and being able to create stuff like Coruscant and all those places but man, for me as an audience, there was just something missing and I think it was the interaction. That said - these scenes are awesome and so much fun to watch, to be able to see some of the work behind the magic. And I'm so glad that CGI-tec has developed into something real that gives the actors more to interact with than just a general "see this? That's where you look at because it's the moon".
