the guy in the black was amazing, everything he did looked like he was in a real fight intending to seriously injure or kill the opponent. He had such a great attitude through the whole scene.
Thanks ;-)
Yeah he did great, it also looked like someone clearly using a very aggressive - dark side based - saber style, the motions were very 'untrained or wild sith like '.
Antoine Bandele man u must be good with your left hand
Antoine Bandele still awesome
Antoine Bandele What forms did you guys do? Or did you just go freestyle? My guess is you used Makashi with Djem so, constantly alternating between the two, I'm also thinking Juyo but IDK. As for your friend, I say he used soreysu and maybe Ataru bladework. (I'm trying to decipher these fights, IDK why.)
Lol he was like "Here's your shit lightsaber back."
Eman C. hahaha
JEDI, HE LOSE? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The people on the highway were probably like, "WTF?"
We thought the same.
+Quickscript I would've pulled over to watch!
+Quickscript I was honestly thinking the exact same thing throughout this entire video.
lol
Ricky vs SilentBat: The Prodigies of Finn.
+Antoine Bandele yes you won Antoine! :) By the way on May 4th 2016 will Kylo Ren: The Awakening be on your channel or this one or another one altogether???
Blindwave's channel.
ok thanks
Alright Mr. Bandele. Bravo, bravo! Now I'm curious on how you think your character would fair in one your vs. matches on your channel. Your dueling and physical prowess would get you far!!! lol
2:12 Home run!
FINALLY A LIGHTSABER DUEL THAT DOESNT SUCK
see the clash lightsabre fight. :)
also when Ryan wieber is having a saying in light saber duel videos... they dont suck
Still the best lighstaber duel video in my opinion. No elaborate nonsense in wardrobe, scenery, dialogues or plot. No minute-long scenes of guys meditating, reminiscing or looking at the horizon in boring preparation. Just an intense, nicely paced, well acted lightsaber duel. Just what i searched for.
Big ups!
@@AntoineBandele yah u guys should seriously consider a sequel cuz i miss these kind of lightsaber duels!
2:19... The struggle of glasses and being active lol
+Joseph Smith It's so real...
Indeed.
Found you!
This has just been added to the LCCVIII Archive playlist.
Awesome work guys! Very professional and very professional acting
This is one of the most organic looking lightsaber battles I've found on RUclips since Ryan Wieber. Great job!
Blocking lightsaber strikes while simultaneously fixin' your glasses = Badass..
Badass indeed.
Absolutely Fabulous
the glasses grab is the best move.
Yeah I love that part. Ricky is a genius for that.
This was one of if the most 'realistic' lightsaber duel I've ever seen. Gentlemen, keep them coming!
Still my favorite lightsaber duel, after all these years
This one is one of the better ones! A lot of energy! A lot of skill!
The choreography in this duel is amazing! Wonderful hit, amazing spins and just all in all great contact.
The effects and sound design are superb and make you feel like it sounds like they’re not just editing sound in later, it feels like the sounds are actually being emitted in real time! It’s all very believable.
I give this a big ol’ 9 out of 10! An amazing duel!
+Cosmo Oswald He stepped on my sneakers!
Why Sith always win?
90% of fan made vids Sith win the duels...

Antoine Bandele Finally!
That was fucking AWESOME!
You know something, I agree. I feel like more of these duels should implement more force powers because right now they are pretty stale as stick bashing. In our next duel we definitely implement more of the force but I think it could be even more creative.
This was sooooo realistic. I'd love to watch live. Or just put me in it.......wow!!!!
Nice video Erik from handball.
Impressive, most impressive.
What this must have looked like from the road...hahaah i wouldve laughed my ass off if i was driving by
This is by far one of the fiercest, most aggressive Lightsaber duels I've ever seen. I can't stop watching!
I need to be friends with people who will openly have a lightsaber duel with me outdoors like this lol. Nice work guys!
I love the incorporation of physical blows and the the real looking close-quarters struggling. the whole time I imagined this being an evil rey against a force sensitive finn and this being their final battle of the trilogy
Bad ass guys. This had the flair of the prequels without feeling like a dance. This is one of the best duels I've seen.
Excellent choreography and beautiful music score, perfectly suited to the dramatic flow, and some very intruguing camera angles. Congratulations and appreciation!
Awesome film.Everything about it was excellent.Both actors really great.The choreography was excellent along with the acting.Just a really well done,fun,exciting professional fan film.Amazing and exciting,even a bit of humor with the glasses scene.Done without a big budget or $$$special effects.Well done.Future film makers in the making.Kudos guys,keep it up.
Props to everyone who worked on this, it is amazing and I am really looking forward to more videos, how I wish I had friends with whom I could do this with, again, props to you all!
With every face expression shot I thought of this dialog: "You goin' down, bitch nigga".
God, the internet has corrupted me beyond repair.
Racist...
Oscar Sánchez TG and did he really know you where not black?
Exactly
Mark The Great 21 he was still not racist and he is right
Exactly
Query: Is this what's called a 'nigga moment' with lightsabers?
One might suggest such a thing.
A light sabre duel with actors who think outside the box, I like that. Well done guys, was a good effort. I thought the ending had nice suspense.
Great choreography! Though some of those kicks seemed a little sloppy, but all in all, well done! I especially like the trick with the glasses falling off. That was pure comedic action right there!
Oh look there's captain hindsight!
...?
Awesome choreography! This is one of the best I've seen. Great job to all involved!
"Once again evil wins because good is dumb!" Lord Helmet from Spaceballs the parody of star wars.
GUYS!!!!! That's Antoine Bandele!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
That was awesome guys! I loved how I could see you striking for body mass; it made the fight feel very real, raw, and personal.
Thanks :-D We do try.
+Akimbros I'm pretty sure that when kids passed with their dads, they shouted:
Daddy!!! There are two guys fighting with red sticks!!!
You should do Ricky vs silentbat 2
I like this Lightsaber battle. The effects were well done and one of the few that show that actual physical combat is in fact required. Good Job guys !
Now that was awesome, everything about was on point. It didn't look like some fancy choreography dance. Looked like an actual fight with moves where you guys are actually trying to kill each other. I really loved the music. I hope theres more lightsaber videos keep it up bro.
This is some GREAT movement. A lot of fan made duels look fake because the strikes/swings look like they are swinging to make contact with the opponent's blade rather than a true swing trying to cut their opponent. This one does a great job of swings at the opponent and looks more real, less choreographed. great job!
Very nicely done.
This video has earned itself a spot in my Fights playlist.
why couldn't the windu/sidious fight be like this lol
doody magoob If I recall correctly, they had to use the real actors instead of the stunt performers in that fight.
Good job guys!!! This was really awesome!!!!
Except for the clumsy kicks and punches, this is one of the best lightsaber duel videos i've seen - Awesome choreography and effects very well done.
*****
You're kidding right? look at the kicks after 0:40, it looks ridiculous, if you can't do a roundhouse kick properly, don't do it, it's that simple.
eran5005 Don't see how it's ridiculous either. Full extension of leg, balance landing. The knee is a little awkward but that's about it. Punches are fine too.
Antoine Bandele
Alright then, whatever you say.
***** It's alright. He's entitled to his opinion.
Antoine Bandele
No no, it's ok, let him have his fun - i preferred to give up a useless argument that will lead nowhere, in internet troll terms that's like castrating yourself with with a cheese grater. I was aware of the policy when i signed in.
The people driving by were probably thinking, "What the f***?"
We should have had a cut away to a person in a car watching.
Tanua TC I was thinking the same thing
It's been such a long time since I have seen one of these videos, and I still love it! This is AWESOME!!
0:30 He cracked homie
Love the choreography in this video. I especially liked how the video ended. Very well done!
This would hardly be out of place in an actual Star Wars movie. Fantastic!!!
200,000 views! Thanks everyone!
+Akimbros where is your video of lightsaber effect tutorial ?
+Akimbros this was really good what place did you get in the contest
+Nathan Tiszai Check the description, I put it out last May!
+Novuscourvous We won second place!
+Escape From Post How to download this lightsaber's sound?
Cool! It actually competes with The Final Lightsaber Battle 2. Hope to see more
Holy shit guys! AWESOME choreography. This is definitely one of the best lightsaber fan battles I've seen.
Very cool. It incorporated a lot of the... every thing! And the affects of their force powers was really cool too
Great Job guys. Dark side lightning came outta nowhere. At that moment the Jedi knew he fked up.
Man that is awesome!! Thank you brothers!! Nice to see!!
+Sean wright ;-)
WOOOOW!!!!VERY VERY NICE. That was freakin cool.. I'm speechless that was a awesome battle. My son said he could see where that was us and I was training him, in the arts. Young and over sure of himself, is where he would loss. I can see that, thanks for putting together such a great battle.
Man! What a great fight! Nice to see good choreography that doesn't just rely on gymnastics but actual sword and foot work!
That was fricken awesome! The fist punch sounded real and the knee chest was a good stunt -- great sword/fight choreography, music, and special visual and sound effects -- especially liked the force pull of lightsaber only for the opponent to slash it in mid air ... wish they would put that in the movies. You guys need to make a new vid.
I like that they throw physical combat in every now and then. Makes it feel much more real.
I love the force lightning effect added in, it made the duel better!
"use the SWAG, Luke."
Nice
MrRICKJAMESJR Not
NEVER!!!
I died of laughter at 2:18
Got keep those specs on point :-D
+Antoine Bandele your one of my favorite youtubers
Not too shabby! I've seen many fan films with worse saber duels, so good job!
Such a great video.
Thanks! Be sure to lookout for a couple duels we'l be releasing over the next several months.
MrAkimbros I just subscribed so I sure will.
+AlwaysOnTheBattlefield that moment when you're driving on the highway and see two teenagers trying to kill each other with lightsabers...
iNOAHguy Oh well teenagers usually fight to the death with lightsabers that's just what kids do nowadays.
Those cars are just driving by like it's no big deal. DON"T ANY OF THEM SEE THESE MEN TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER!
Love the video!
one of the better lightsaber battles on youtube
most impressive
What the- why doesn't this have more views??? This rivals Ryan vs Brandon 2!!!
Very nice gentlemen. Ryan and Dorkman would be proud. Definalty top 3
Mace Windu's Grandchildren XDD
The jedi got cocky!! :P Great video guys!! Without a doubt one of the better ones on youtube :)
It would have been much smarter if that guy had turn on his lightsaber immediately at 2:48 instead of just pulling it back, igniting it, and let Antoine get the advantage. Otherwise, good fight.
I posted this on facebook. We need more black americans to get into this.
Thanks ;-)
Just black Americans? What about the rest of us?
Amazing! I loved the ending. Caught me off guard
Great work! I was impressed by the way "Black Jacket Guy" shows natural athletics. I'd really like to see more of his vids. I really believed they were actually hitting each other!
Awesome job guys, not many fights are done in daylight, loking forward to more 👍
Impressive.. most impressive..
nice work on speed and creativity. I don't think I've seen many lightsaber fights that fast.
This was pretty amazing; nice work, loved it.
well done guys! Great duel!
Very well done. I found your video to be very compelling and entertaining. Keep up the good work.
High energy, and emotional, you two did a great job! +1'd
That was crazy tight! Makes hope Finn is force sensitive, so he can fight like you two!
+Swordsquire thanks, me too!
+Escape From Post Why do YOU say "Thanks"?
+Balta Skywalker Because I'm one of the people who made this :p Did the VFX and music, also I'm the one wearing glasses in the duel.
Escape From Post Huh, I thought that was Akimbros.
+Balta Skywalker Check the credits, I'm there :p Ricardo Elliott
Loved this!
I LOVE from France...
the coregraphy is perfect, music, sound and quality, nice fight
Directly I subscribe
They were late at their job. The wrath of their bosses is more fearful than the duel that decide the fate of the world.
LOOK AT ALL THE STAR DESTROYERS IN THE BACKGROUND!!! NEW MODELS NOW HAVE WHEELS.
Those were tie fighters...lol
I love the way those guys portray the side they're on e.g: sith use more offensive energy while jedi focus more on calm and keeping the defensive side
2:18 That dude caught his glasses like a boss!
Nice! I like the choreography, I also like how you added a martial arts feel to it, I saw the "Sith Lord" use an Aikido style disarming technique on the Jedi when he was unarmed. Regards from the Main Instructor of the Jedi and Sith Martial arts Academy.
Now that's RAW guys. Must repost this.
Finally, We Have Returned...
I love how nobody driving past on the highway is like HOLY FUCKING SHIT TWO GUYS FIGHTING WITH LIGHTSABERS! AND THROWING FORCE LIGHTNING AT EACHOTHER! They just go on about their morning commute like nothing out of the ordinary is happening.
And of course when Ryan Wieber's name appears in the credits I'm not the least bit shocked.
Brian Knowles ;-)
Sandman GotBeer of course not. Those sabers looked exactly like the ones Wieber, "Dorkman", and Brandon used.
Daniel Wood They are one and the same! Can't remember specifically which ones we were using.
You've got solid choreography, especially because there's movement around the field rather than both staying within a 10 foot area or pacing across the same areas. The only big issue I see is the location and the time of day. A white concrete parking lot in the daytime is bright enough to undermine the quality of the special effects- which are done well, and we want to see them in their full jedi glory.
Very nice work. A few awkward moments, but great overall choreography and execution.
I'm surprised by how good that was.
Why would you be surprised how good this is?
Well done!! I'm sure you guys have heard this already but getting up there with "Ryan and Dorkman"!
MrAkimbros how did you do all the effects with the lightsabers making them look real? Excellent choreography by the way gentleman you need to make more videos
love how you guys rep with the LA and SM signs. Great choreography too!
