Ailowyn Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 Well, it still has the OC intro attached, but it's still the trailer... Or rather, a link to where you can download the trailer. Oh wow...
Ockniel Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 hey lets try to get some stills from the trailer so we can examine them closer
Ockniel Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 sweet man, is that the start of the obi-ani duel?
El Sitherino Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Originally posted by Ockniel sweet man, is that the start of the obi-ani duel? I don't think it's the start, but still near the beggining. It's definitely them showing off their skills, trying to get to eachother (mentally).
Ockniel Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 what, after they start the duel, they're trying to impress each other with saber moves? I thought this was going to be a duel burning with rage through and through, am I wrong?
El Sitherino Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Originally posted by Ockniel what, after they start the duel, they're trying to impress each other with saber moves? I take it you've never seen classic kung-fu cinema or even the samurai serials. It's about making the surreal, real. Originally posted by Ockniel I thought this was going to be a duel burning with rage through and through, am I wrong? A real fight would last a matter of seconds to little over a minute. Asking for realism is stupid. Plus it's about pride. Their overconfidence in their skill. Taunting your enemy by showing off, equaling their kata, it's all about creating panic in your enemy's mind. Plus the momentum generated by the kata would create an incredibly powerful force. Similiar to that of using a ball-and-chain. The swing, while incredibly awesome looking, is also part of the attack. The momentum generated is double, triple, quadruple that of the initial force.
Prime Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Originally posted by InsaneSith <_< >_> They're breakdance fighting!!!!
El Sitherino Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Yeah, I also think the clip is probably out of context, and will seem much more fluid when in the actual movie. All I can say is it's amazingly awesome to watch.
Sivy Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Originally posted by Prime They're breakdance fighting!!!! Yeah, after hours of duelling they realise that they will only settle things with a dance-off

Surfnshannon Posted March 16, 2005 Author Posted March 16, 2005 They look like baton twillers in a marching band...... but that's just me. Looks like a display of "my lightsaber is bigger than your lightsaber"...... to me...
Ockniel Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 I've got a lightsaber for ya.... AAANNNYways, any new pics out there? hyperspacers?
Hannibal Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Originally posted by InsaneSith A real fight would last a matter of seconds to little over a minute. Asking for realism is stupid. If both opponents were highly skilled a real fight could last hours. In medieval times sword fights would last for hours and the victor would be the one who had the best indurence (which was even more impressive because of all the armor). If you look at that image. They are both winding up (think of a baseball player with a bat) to get greater force behind their swing. It's way over exagerated (because its a movie) and it looks cool.
Sivy Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 here's something interesting... notice at the bottom where it says 'he is unmasked by deflected lightning during the Mace duel'.
Nokill Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 wow looks nice finally some new pics where you got these btw?

Well considering (europe)medieval swords were large, clunky, and overall not sharp. That doesn't matter, I'm taking into consideration the japanese samurai fighting, as that's the closest to jedi. (they were the inspiration for jedi afterall). Most sword fights last a matter of seconds to a minute. It's all about pre-battle that determines who's the winner.

Most sword fights last a matter of seconds to a minute. It's all about pre-battle that determines who's the winner. No matter what the weight of the swords the lenght of the battle would be determined by atmospheric conditions and the skill of the duelers. If you matched me up against a samurai I could see me lasting the few seconds it takes him to decide to swing his sword but to closely matched samurai, one-on-one, no outside influence...
El Sitherino Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 There are some lengthy battles but most are/were over within a matter of seconds to minutes. Either way, a realistic fight in Star Wars (or any movie for that matter) would not be as entertaining. Real fights are only exciting because you're in the moment, watching a real fight on camera though, it's boring.
