Sith: It's Weak
Jedi: It's Dishonorable
Anakin: It's Funny
Me: It's stupid.
It only works because of bad fight choreography, where characters aim for each other's blades. XD
@@AlphaOmega1237 it could be used as an offensive tool, since iirc some counterattacks involve batting the enemy's blade away before a riposte
if there was suddenly no blade to parry, they could go off balance which could be a free attack
though it's definitely a gamble as the other guy can just swing directly at their opponent as the parry. if the technique user guesses incorrectly, they gamble their head away
@@AlphaOmega1237 If someone is swinging directly at you like you say and you block, they now have to push against your saber to avoid you slipping past and cutting them instead, so that is when you turn it off to make them shift their weight awkwardly.
Was used in the books by one of Luke's jedi, only his lightsaber had a button to switch to a longer blade. So he turns it off then swaps to the longer blade aiming directly at the opponent.
@@DrGandW Lightsabers are weapons that kill or cripple on contact. There's no reason to put your entire weight into swinging them like you would a real sword. Light swings or thrusts would be the way to fight. Arguably, this method would give another reason for people not to throw all their weight into a clash.
So yeah, this only works because of bad fight choreography that has characters doing dumb stuff with their weapons.
"Jedi were taught not to have attachments, and I'm not attached to the normal ligtsaber curriculum"
LMAO
this line also made me lol
Somehow I managed to read this comment while he was saying it and it made me burst out laughing!
And I saw this right after that part had just finished.
Completely on-brand for Anakin, too
honestly the reveal that Darth Vader turned off Obi Wan's lightsaber instead of Obi just turning it off was the greatest plot twist of all time
You must've seen it coming, right?
But if it had actually happened, that scene would have been more logical to the regular movie watcher
Still works!
@@yeisonalvarez5776Yeah, but if it was practical to turn off your opponent's weapon mid combat, and Vader and Obiwan can do it, it kind of calls into question pretty much every lightsaber duel involving force users unless we assume every duel is secretly an invisible war of force users spamming each other's controls.
@@VolcanoHotTubi saw the "luke on the high ground" coming, but not him turning obi's saber off lol
Would've loved to see Obi use this against Grievous, like he turns on all 4 of his lightsabers while they're still attached to Grievous' hips, or he's spinning them and he turns all of them off so the wooshing noise of the blades cutting air gets replaced by the awkward sound of metal wrists spinning.
we need to see this happen
That last sentence of just the noise of the wrists spinning would be a funny gag hahaha
I agree completely
That’s a good idea Master!
Never got why he's even a threat. He can't use the Force so just grab him with it and smack him around. Introduce him to the wall, ceiling, your lightsaber, etc.
7:40 “Still works!” Somehow you forever ruined and improved that scene for me
I know i felt the exact same thing hahaha his old trick he still gotteemm
This is forever how I'm gonna interpret the scene.
I love that the move is technically still legal in Jedi combat since nobody else know about it 😂
😂😂😂 idk it made it even more priceless for me. Awesome work bros keep it up. 👆
"Teaching the younglings a lesson" is also part of Anakin's shenanigans.
Shenanakins
Too soon. This will eternally be too soon.
Ah that little rascal
Anakin's Shenanigans
To be fair, they address him as "Master Skywalker". He was just adding a bit of consequence to misidentifying rank
5:38 "I am sorry, master" said with a smile that clearly tells you how much he enjoyed these shenanakins.
Badumtss
God-tier pun.
Great joke 🤣🤣🤣
He needs to sith in the corner and think about what he's done
@@VnD77they said it in the video
Obi Wan was skeptical at best until he tried it and then he was fully on board, lol
Would've been better if Obi turned off Vader's lightsaber, laughed, and then died
You watched the video too, huh?
"Then he was fully on BEARD, lol"
Fixed it for ya.
1:58 to 2:22 Pure comedic GENIUS !
Seeing Master Yoda nearly decapitating himself on a routine practice... PRICELESS !!!
"Anakin I believe we're in a lot of trouble..."
It also copies the yoda falling over scene from the original trilogy.
How about yoda with a walking frame at 5:20 😭😭😭
I lost my shet 😂😂😂😂😂
I fr cried laughing 😂, old man’s got hospitalized 😂
Anakin's techniques necessitated fingerprint sensors on lightsabers, and many a Jedi was slain trying to enter the PIN after failing to activate their saber three times with grimy hands.
Lmao
It kept asking them if they were a robot and asking them to select the traffic lights. This security code destroyed the jedi and darth vader alike, who was more machine than man.
No wonder Order 66 was so successful
Who would win: one state-of-the-art lightsaber safety system
Or
One glovey boy
"Your lightsaber has been locked for 30 minutes. Please try again later"
Luke: *Turns off Vaders Saber mid throw.*
Vader: *Catches his Saber and looks up at Luke* I never been so proud in my life.
Luke: A-Are you crying father?
Vader: YES!!!
The subtlety of these lines kills me. Like, Anakin is just fucking around because he’s Anakin, but at 2:00 he’s so happy that Obi-Wan accepted his idea. The tragedy of their failed relationship haunts me.
I do not know what sort of dark corcery you've used to make them sound so much like the og movies but this is literally insane. I choked down and laughed out loud way too many times. The Yoda part gutted me. The way you truly understand Obi-Wan's and Anakin's silly insane dynamics. For real. People keep thinking Anakin is the only insane one just because by his side Obi-Wan looks reasonable, but they both are insufferable 😂 😂 😂
Clone wars was just a show about Kenobi trolling everybody.
@@deadbird3144I can just imagine the pitching for the series. "What if... we have a deep story that shows the character growth and events of the universe. BUT. It's real reason for existing, is for us to come up with as many Obi-Wan's jokes as possible, and get paid for it."
The Yoda part also gutted Yoda :p
Corcery lol
How would one pronounce that new word? I mean, I know what it means, and it fits perfectly. But are you going for "cockery" vibe or more "sorcery"?
The idea that all of these training sessions are canon but then he never actually uses these techniques in a fight, JUST to mess with Obi Wan, makes it even funnier.
1:24 Not attached to the normal lightsaber curriculum is such a good line
Indeed
Anakin’s comment about “not holding attachments” to the traditional curriculum is actually pretty deep when you think about it. Focusing on old tradition and turning a blind eye to the new and ever expanding world can be seen as a self-imposed hindrance harming growth.
Ironically, this channels George Lucas and why the Jedi fell that being their rigid adherence to dogma and being unwilling to change.
How is that deep, that's the literal meaning of what he said.
@@helloyes2288i guess perspective?
@@immortal_shrooms6757 Deep is something you have to think about, but in this case what he's calling deep is just the straightforward literal meaning of the words, no thought needed whatsoever.
@@helloyes2288 makes sense, though i did say perspective. I guess for them it was relatively deep and not just a joke
The extra scenes added honestly made the whole series so much better!
They were in the originals too, the only difference here is that they're placed in chronological order
@@antonliakhovitch8306Didn't see the Younglings before when Obi-wan's saber was forcefully turned on by Anakin
This should be called "Anakin's Lightsaber Shenanigans"
Shin-Anakins
*Shenanigans ShenAnakins*
don't you mean shenanikins
@@keystrix3704 AYOOOOOOO
I'll never be able to watch the duel in A New Hope the same way again.
"Still works."
That little smile from kenobi
He was thinking "he's totally going to turn my lightsabre off, that little shit"
Omg, right?
I love the "Still works" with his swing
The reason turning your light saber is off is a bad idea is typically when weapons clash, its because they were aiming at you and not empty air.
Not if they were trying to block your swing
Yeah, but these were not real fights. They were just dueling, so turning off your saber makes the other person fall and look clumsy. Turning off the other saber is best for a real fight
Insert cynical joke about most saber swings in prequel trilogy aiming at the opponent’s saber rather than their body.
There is such as thing as sword fighting "from the bind", where you execute strikes/blocks from a starting position with the blades already touching each other.
In such a situation, if you applied pressure just before turning off your lightsaber, then this could unbalance your opponent, assuming they countered by pushing back...
However, it typically takes a few seconds to turn a lightsaber off and then back on again, which would leave you vulnerable, unless you had a backup weapon to hand.
"You just turn it off and they stumble and you turn back on really quickly, it's not really a problem."
The Master Yoda bit had me crying laughing!
same bro omg hahahah!
The added detail of Anakin holding back a laugh when being scolded by Obi Wan is great
Very thoughtful adding extra content to connects all previous videos together, instead of just dumping one after another. 👍
Glad you liked it!
The lightsaber actually went through the floor, appreciate the fact that even a RUclipsr took the time to actually know the Star Wars lore even better than Disney😂
I thought the floor was going to fall on those younglings.
@@SeanWheeler100 😂
The complete saga is some of the greatest works you have made yet. Thank you for all of it in one
The lightsaber form of Trakata, the only form spurned by both the Sith and Jedi. But presented in the funniest way ever! 😆
"Still works... HYAH" made me do a proper guffaw, amazing
I was using Anakin teachings on Movie Battles II, some other players were using it against me on our duels(this gold production gave us the idea), it was so hilarious. I didn't laugh so much for a while.If you never heard of MBII - Movie Battles II is most advanced lightsaber combat dueling game
Love MBII!
links? how does one experience or witness such?
@@Akira-Aerins it's a free mod for the game Jedi Academy
@@MatthewMcCleskey Tell me more o,o
Movie Battles II, now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time
02:26 To people not old enough this is the game released the same year when Episode 1 was about to be released, using the podrace from the movie as its theme. The visuals are dated today, but when it was launched is was insanely realistic compared to other games, and how good it was making playable what we saw in the movie ( there were man pods you could choose to use, not just the Anakin's pod ).
I remember playing it on my parents' computer like 20 years ago. Couldn't get very far on it, was like 5 but I loved racing anyways.
Had it on PC way back when 😂😂😂 what a game
It's on Steam, still runs, and is still decently fun.
The facial expressions of the characters and the "thud" of yoda smacking the ground is priceless.
This is one of the few things on the entire internet I can watch back to back to back and still laugh hysterically every time - a true masterpiece.
I really like the way you play both characters, but especially Anakin. The body language is perfect. The way he seems calm (almost bored) and seems show the proper respect to his master, but the head tilt and slight smirk hint at his haughtiness and irreverence; he's only playing the part of the respectful student, while really planning some Anakin shenanigans. It's playful and mischievous, but also hints at some level of contempt for the council and its rules, for Obi-wan, and perhaps the Jedi as a whole. There's a bit of darkness there.
I never knew how bad I needed this series, it's hilarious and have binged a lot of vids since the first Obi-Wan vs Anakin. Ik you don't need us to tell you but keep up the fantastic comedic and animation work man. Loving every second of them lol🙏🔥
4:23 to 4:35 felt VERY much like an actual Anakin / Obi-Wan interaction. Love it.
I love how calm obi Wan is no matter how messed up the situation is 😂😂😂
The subtle Lego Obi Wan death sound at 3:44 was a great touch lol
The Yoda "Arrrrrrggghhhh" always makes me laugh because of the sound+visual when he falls in such a silly way.
8:12 “You overestimate the power of the high ground.”
2:05
Oh my christ I almost fell off my chair
This is your funniest series yet. Your Obi-Wan and Anakin voices are impeccable
this channel is probably the best out of all the "joel haver rotoscope" derivatives, and i mean that as the best possible compliment i can give
I.. Didn't realize this wasn't him until you pointed it out..
Pod racer??? That is completely hilarious and nostalgic at the same time! And the fact Anikin is bad at the game? Str8. Golden. Humor.
7:35 this is now canon, i dont care what anybody else thinks
Everything about this is amazing. The voices, the sarcasm, the satire, the clever jabs, and the lines...just keep making these and you'll be my favorite youtuber haha
Watching everything back to back and seeing how flawlessly they follow each other, how perfect Obi-wan & Anakin's relationship is characterized, and how these techniques effected the original trilogy is absurdly perfect! Your comedic timing is spot on too. Love your videos stay safe out there :)
“We’ll if they did, I would be teaching all of the younglings a lesson…” 😂😮 1:36
Whe Yoda screamed that took me the fuck OUT 😂😂😂 Like LITERALLY FUCKIN AFTERLIFE OVER HERE!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's always funny and strange at the same time when people took the phrase "I have the high ground" literally like that, when it actually is a way to say "I have the advantage" and it was translated like that in other languages.
But the way he points at his surroundings makes it definitely sound like he’s referring to the terrain. And then Anakin tries to jump OVER him to get on level ground when he could’ve, you know, just taken a step forward to get off the lava. So I can’t imagine what else he meant except having higher elevation
Love how when Obi is showing the high ground off he tells Ani to "try it"
so many subtle line easter eggs all throughout! great work and really funny!
Fantastic work, I love the transitions you did, it really ties all of them together. These always give me the best laughs.
I was pleasantly surprised by the new transitions. Nice!
Just use the force to pull the light sabre out of your opponents hand or holster. You could poke their eyes, tweak their nose or give them a bingo shot using the force. Force nut crush.
I cast... Testicular Torsion!
AAAAAAÆEEEEEEE
I like the two added scenes that i 5at least noticed.. Yoda at the medic and the younglings below obi as his sanbers turn on
The part with Yoda had laughing for a couple minutes.
Loved it. The yoda scene was hilarious, and the “is Mace going to be there” was a great follow-up. MW is insufferable in the trilogy - you know the others had to be complaining about him ‘off camera’ so it fits well here.
These are like my favorite skits on the internet 😂
Fun fact: turning your own lightsaber off is pretty much a war crime to every force user but turning off your opponents lightsaber is perfectly fine and it’s actually been done before somewhere in the clone wars show. Only reason why lightsaber weilders don’t do that often is because apparently you need to have both hands on the lightsaber so that way it’s a fair fight and noone yeets their combatant into the stratosphere.
Neither fun nor a fact.
All additional moments are hilarious
Yoda getting hurt is the funniest thing ever! 🤣
"Anakin I believe we are in a lot of trouble" :D Had me dying :D
“After what happened to Master Yoda, the council has banned turning off your lightsaber”
"Still works, HAAA" fucking kills me
"Master yoda?" oh fuck that was unexpected lmao
5:12 ShenAnakins😂😂😂
🤦🏻♂️
I would've loved to see a proper Vader vs Obi Wan fight where Vader turns off his own lightsaber then Obi Wan is all like *"You really have fallen to the Dark Side, using forbidden techniques such as that."*
The way it all comes together is perfect.
This is comedy gold! The voices, facial expressions and dialogue interactions between Obi-Wan and Anakin are spot on! These videos just make me so happy, lmao. Thank you so much for making this, this is such a gift!
6:30 Lol we all know where this was going
XD its so good to see this as a compilation now, fantastic
I absolutely loved this series. Thank you for your hard work
This Anakin is amazing! Super snarky and well drawn.
I love these skits. They're so good. The smugness of Aniken and Obi being on board with the secret techniques.
Never give up - these are always fantastic.
The mannerism and animation is so good. Fantastic humor!
Love the additional scenes! I thought I was tripping! 😹
i really like how you replaced the ad with podracing. genius.
"Anakins shenanigans" would be a perfect title lol
But in all seriousness, that would work in a dirk, turning off their Saber like that lol
When fighting you aren't trying to hit your opponants saber, your trying to hit them. You don't put all your weight on the saber either. When you turn off your blade then your opponent's attack just isn't blocked and they go through to you.
i haven't giggled this much in years, YEARS I TELL YOU! :D well done sir!
I don't remember if there was any case in the prequels where anyone THREW their lightsaber at their enemy? That trick could also have been one of Anakin's shenanigans "Throwing your lightsaber mid combat". 🤣
The Yoda scream and fall killed me 😂
I love how this skit shows the silliness of Star Wars in general.
The way you hold your head back when acting as anakin is hilarious af.
LOL yeah I don't know what that's about
If the high ground is full proof especially on an immovable surface, then why did Maul lose to Obi Wan on Naboo???
Because Maul didn't know the power of the high jump
Because only obi wan understands that the low ground is actually the high ground... From a certain point of view
well from my point of view the high ground is evil@@goldenking2046
@6:00 the Master became the Student
I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS A SERIES, THIS IS PURE GOLD
Imagine KOTOR having this!
Force Jam: prevents the next attack or block by the opponent.
Force Disarm: removes the weapon from the enemy's hands.
Force Misfire: enemy attacks themselves.
Would this be a light side or dark side power though?
Yes
Turning off your own lightsaber only makes sense if your opponent is targeting your lightsaber and not you.... Oh wait it's star wars.
The greatest of the trilogies
This video pleased me greatly
Especially since a while back while rewatching the original trilogy I got a great laugh out of my father by quipping “Because he has the high ground!” after “Obi-Wan has taught you well”
this is fantastic lmao, the interactions between obi-wan and anakin feel so authentic, it's exactly the kind of relationship they had during the Clone Wars
He who fights fairly has already lost.
He won the battle but lost the war to the high ground XD
This video represents decades of answers to questions that fans had during years. This content is high quality
The dialogue and story telling in this was very well done.
0:50 yoooo cal pulled that on trilla at one of their fights and it worked
Hooray the complete saga finally :) time for a beer, except I’m at work >_< I’ll have to watch this after.
That's not a winners attitude chugg!!! Woooo!!!
❤ so many subtleties of the facial expressions and voice acting make this so much funnier.
such a fucking legend. laughed my ass off and usually it's pretty hard to make me laugh :D
