| Mr. Consistency Editor says "if the lightsaber burned his pants, why wasn't it damaging the floor when it hit?"
Nitpicks aside, that's some most excellent CGI without studio backing. The choreography is actually pretty good although the non-lightsaber attacks (kicks/punches) are very poorly executed (fear my chest tap of doom!). Too many spins for realistic combat, but would visually fun to watch. Definitely as good as most of the lightsaber battles from the movies. And that's saying something. | |

| Yep. There are easily things to pick on in both of them. But...
1) there's no way in hell I could do better, or even come close,
2) like you implied, this comes very close to professional
The choreography is excellent for a couple of 20-somethings. I was paying attention to camera angles and whatnot, and they have a crew that does a really good job. The scenes where the camera moves around the combatants is smooth and doesn't reveal that there's filming going on--very good.

| That was realy nice!
The second one had a bigger budget it seems. Lots more set damage and the severed arm. Very cool stuff. | |

| Seen them both, even saw the first when it came out. They're high quality, and very well done.

| | Didn't know about the second one from these two, it was great. Too much drama and some unrealistic things for my liking, but it was very good. | |
