Best Light Saber battle i've ever seen in any Star Wars. I hope Chris Lundy can get picked up for a Starwars film because the Kylo vs Rey battle was ASSSSssss.
Galaxis 🙏🏼🙏🏼 you’re too kind mate! Cheers!
Chris Lundy anakin vs obi wan is the best live action duel
Best thing I've seen in awhile 👍👍👍
some critique though
at 4:07 and 4:21:
I understand that he could still have to force, but how did his sword get from out of his hand then right back into his hand like nothing happened?
JEDI AGNI KAI!!!
Woman: survives being stabbed by light Saber in stomach
*Qui-Gon Jin wants to know your location*
She knew how to Force Heal lmao
ryan4646 lol it definitely can’t be used on yourself.
Plain Face Media force heal can be used on oneself
Force heal much
@General Grievous Yes someone gets it👏
When spice addicts find lightsabers after Order 66.
😂😂😂😂😂
lmao
Look at all these lightsabers. They will make a fine addition to my collection.
Forget spice they look like they binged meth for 3 weeks
Spice addict Vikings ☝🏻😂
"You can't survive being stabbed by a light saber"
Maul: *Sliced in two and survives*
Maul had robot legs I thought.
@@auditoryill1 Nope
Maul got prosthetics after Obi-Wan divided by 2
@@ajaderabbit8399 knew it was something like that
That shows irony in qui gon’s death
Satele Shan: Here hold my beer lol. 🍺🍺
Burning man got out of hand this year...
No twirls, no senseless flourishes, every move was either to harm or to block harm... so good.
What form u think they were using
As Fan-Fic Writer I'm going to make some lore for this scene.
Havoc is a Forestal Planet on the Outer Rim, somewhere on that world, there is an ancient Jedi Temple that was corrupted by the Sith, and the Jedi that use to live there were converted in Force-sensitive savages. During the time of the Old Republic, other Jedi were send there to purge the planet from those savages.
Antonio González You’re hired... Man, this is amazing I love it! I’m pinning this comment.
@@MichaelYadvish I like that you like it :)
i agree with this 100% haha
Sounds awesome
Michael Yadvish You never pinned it
Not only great choreography but a great narrative. You can't help but to sympathize for both the Jedi and the Sith.
No idea what you were watching but that choreography was terrible and they've downplayed the lightsabre to the point where it really does just look like a long glowstick
Just once I wish we could have some actual swordsman make one of these
@@valandil7454 How about you make one then?
@@valandil7454 You sir, are a douchebag.
@@valandil7454 shut the fuck up, this shit was great.
@@valandil7454 no offense but what were you watching?
I haven't seen such a good choreography since RyanVsBrandon 2. However the storytelling in here is some of the best I have ever seen
High Praise. Thank you Carlos!
Can we take the time and appreciate how much patience was needed to get the right lightning strike in their fighting stance scene
Most aggressive lightsaber duel I have ever witnessed
I really hate when these fight scenes don't have endings.
It just leaves room for a potential part 2, which would be awesome
yeah i wanted to see those chicks throw down
Don’t watch dragon ball z then lol
@@emilyp4001 especially considering they're on the thumbnail.
@@humanfartbagwhat? at least dbz had arc ending like frieza arc ended
See you guys when this pops up on your recommend list 4 years from now
3 more years to go
Hello there!
4:05 “My modeling careeeeeeerrrrr!!!”
"Catch it with your teeth!"
Dear Disney...
Take some notes on your duels in your next films. We need loads of sabers and SCRREEEEEAAMMMIIIINNG!!!
Blasphemer Jenkins Jedi don’t scream
@@frostcoroger8326 AFfermaTive. Jedi Focus.
@@frostcoroger8326 yeah but Finn do lmao
This kicks the crap out of the last 3 Disney movies.
It’s been established in another thread, and accepted by the make of this video, that these are Sith corrupted Force sensitive savages. The Jedi are there to purge this Jedi planet of the screaming Force sensitive savages (Lol).
You know, that dude that takes off his shirt almost looks like Baldur from God of War soo damn cool
Why is this recommended to me so late? Bro, the simultaneous offense and defense was amazing. 1v3 actually looked so believable here.
I have never been more proud...savagery with less flexing, clean cut, flawless execution keeping it feeling real, and full of form & color. It's art...Impressive, most impressive.🔥🔥🔥🔥🤌👍
What a masterpiece! Constantly changing grips, multiple and single lightsabers, 1v3 should have egg on the face but everyone looked busy and looked like they were trying to kill you (I'm looking at you TLJ Throne Room) and all synced up to a killer soundtrack!
Thank you Jeff! I made a big point with the actors to make sure everyone knew how important the moments are in between the choreography. It's like remembering to act when you're in a dialogue scene but you're not being spoken to. You still have to perform and react to the situation! So that means a lot that you took notice!!
I paid attention to that Throne Room fight as well 😂 Its like they would get 'staggered' as if its a game each time they got blocked from Kylo
@@MichaelYadvish Excellent job. I purposely looked for that in the fight sequence and to my admittedly untrained eye you succeeded. The actors also did an excellent job conveying the real threat and emotion during the scene. Overall, just a really enjoyable sequence that made me actually care whether or not any of them lived or died.
@@MichaelYadvish sorry but this wasn’t good synchronized wild arm flailing is not good choreography. This was no better than the the throne room scene in TLJ.
Comparing us to a Hollywood quality movie is a win in my book! :)
Thor may have had Mjolnir...
But Vikings had lightsabers.
Lol it's historically accurate I promise.
Congrats on winning this year's contest!
I love when theres no holding back on the acting.
Wow, that is the most epic lightsaber duel of all time.😳
Wish we had this kind of action choreography in the movies
ELitz Ortiz this was trash dude. Too many close ups and unrealistic lightsaber moves.
@@ArnoldMontes using unrealistic and lightsaber in the same sentence lol
Elijah Lee just sticking to the originals bro
@@ArnoldMontes you talking about the OT?
you got the same in the new sequels. more baseball bat swinging
Jedi's master after duel: You were unbalanced, bested by a girl who had never held a lightsaber. You failed!"
Honestly think this is one of the best things I've seen really awesome, especially being a fan of star wars
As well loved the fast paced of fight and barbaric feel to it. Choreograph was soo good and so was the camera movement and how you captured it.
Favourite thing I've seen in ages
Imagine you’re on a hike and you come into a clearing and see this.
*Duel of the Fates Intensifies as the double bladed lightsaber ignites*
Funny thing is, that happened quite often on set! LOL
Lol
It would have been so funny, if a random bicycle rider came riding by in the end sounding his bell, and rode off screen.
The jedi and sith halt their attack, to take notice of the rider and once he rode off screen the resume their battle.
I could just see me enjoying a hike and seeing this. Standing there a moment , then a quiet "Nope" turning right the hell around and leaving...
This ladies and gentlemen is actual lightsaber combat. It is not two people swinging baseball bats at each other like the Disney trilogy.
This has actual skill and good choreography
Thank you!
oooooooh ya boi can dual wield like the wind.
Chris Lewis Thank you sir 🤙🏻
The fights keep getting better and better! And I love the implied story we get to create simply based on character interaction! I’m really glad you guys are continuing to make these
The world needs more of this
The girls: "sorry, it took us a minute to get here."
Michael (smiling, happy to see they've survived and can help) "You're here now. That's all that matters."
This has to be in the top 5 best lightsaber duels not associated with Disney that I've seen, if not the best!
Disney's lightsaber duels
suck.
It's one of the best even if you do include Disney, sad
It’s better than any choreography that you would get in the originals, prequels, or sequels
John Borris not really
Thunt 1 it’s almost like... they can train for as long as they want, without having to put an ounce of thought into the other 2 hours of run time, or having to act, or inputting a huge amount of special effects, or training the actors (since they’ve been doing these fantastically for years now). I’m not saying the choreography isn’t better than just about any dual out there (I’d put dual of fates, and the Ahsoka maul fight on par with this, and yes the Ahsoka maul fight was done almost entirely through mocap so it is choreographed, and edited in post just like any live action dual)
All in all another amazing production and they just keep getting better, just wanted to note that it is distinctly different to make a 5 minute film with actors who are already experienced in this thing than it is to make a 2.5 hour movie using a budget larger than a small countries gdp, it’s like to entirely different worlds
Watching this and reading from the pinned comment I got the feeling that these savages are hunting the Jedi on their planet. Them having three lightsabers shows they have taken down at least three in the past. They know how to fight but they aren’t exactly skilled with them. Not being aware of the difference between Jedi and sith they just know the blade is almost as powerful as the ones who use them. That’s why they are different colors.
I liked the pinned comment but the savages don’t seem all that sith like to me. So then being corrupted by them doesn’t make tons of sense. That’s just my two bits cents though.
Anyway I just found your channel and I am loving everything I see. Keep up the good work. Your stuff is better then anything in the new Star Wars movies and I would absolutely love to see more.
Roman Torchwick I thought that this was an isolated tribe with basic lightsabers because if you pause the video and look they have pretty basic sabers and that would explain why the blades are shorter than usual
This was great! I love that sort of "Viking savagery" vibe the antagonists had, very awesome!
In the star wars universe that will be a sith or dark jedi type
@@ranmaruthompson930 Yeah, there was something about the antagonists being descendants of marooned Jedi at one point. They fell to the Dark Side overtime, but I certainly wouldn't call them Sith.
Okay, my heart did a little leap when his bros showed up at the end. Very cool guys! This is how the lightsaber battles should be! Fast and accurate.
It's always refreshing when it is a 3 on 1 fight when they are nice enough to only attack one at a time, pause to let someone else attack, stand around when their opponent is down, and take time to disrobe and pose heroically/menacingly...but I will admit, that "Reverse Arya" toss was a GREAT move! :) Also just goes to show you that just cause you take a saber tot he abdomen doesn't mean you 100% get killed (Qui-gon was apparently a wuss then if that's the case)
If I recall, Qui-Gon was stabbed through the heart.
@@HarmonicWave It's honestly hard to tell. I literally went back and watched "the kill shot" almost 20 times and have to say, from some angles...it DOES look like a heart shot, but others look more in line with mid to lower abdomen.
Regardless...Qui-gon is now Stay-gone. :)
Forms that I recognize.
Soresu (Important since the guy was able to stay alive despite three vs. one. Also using the reverse variant.)
Ataru
Juyo or Djen So
don’t forget Trakata (lightsaber on and off)
YES!
Geez, eat a freakin snickers!
Seriously awesome work, loved the savage vibe and it came off more than just "Jedi vs Sith"
I know I’m really late, but I just wanted to say how much this video means to me and how much it inspired me. Because of your video, I was inspired to start making my own choreographies, and I want to say thank you so much for that.
🥺 I appreciate your comment just as much as you appreciate this video. That’s amazing to hear, I’ll be looking forward to the work you put out there!
@@MichaelYadvish Wow, I didn’t expect a response! Thank you so much!
Better than all three trilogies. Not combined of course, but better choreography than each one on their own
So... muscles definitely don’t work like that after having a hole carved out of them
1:01 I heard LEGO Jango Fett’s death sound there and I can’t stop laughing
In all seriousness, great duel and video!
Lol That's so specific haha but thank you!
"Three against one? That's not a dare! That's Tuesday!"
Now this is Lightsaber Action
This is so amazing! From the brilliant acting to the captivating choreography... 🔥 Looks like it fits right into the Star Wars saga!
This was epic. Lucasfilm needs to be taking notes
This 5 minute fight starring some passionate fans with a mini budget, is better than the entire prequel trilogy
Barely any dialogue,no use of the force,all the beats,hits,and sounds were perfect,this deserved all the praise it got!
As always, you guys display masterful choreography and cinematography. Somehow, even the pauses in the fight felt explosive, the camera picked up on every bit of emotion that you conveyed. And, boy, that ending
Thank you thank you!! I'm glad the ending hit home!
THIS WAS AMAZING!!! I am still trying to wrap my head around this beautiful choreography. Great job guys!
youtube: how many of these videos do you want released?
me: ALL OF THEM!
Holy shit! This is by far the dopest fucking thing I’ve seen in the past 2 years. Also as a 34 year old (new to yoga & martial arts) that grew up doing this exact thing with my brother/best friend n other friends, just without a camera...I can honestly say this is why I love Star Wars n the community n a huge inspiration to me for getting healthy n off drugs n back into physical hobbies. I love lightsaber fighting, one of my life goals is to get my own made (I just finished welding school the year before COVID-19) and go to an academy that teaches lightsaber fighting technique n art. U guys r gnarly af! I wish I was a part of this. U made me feel like I was there n I thank u for that.
Omg thanks mate! Appreciate the love :) hope you get to make your own one day! We’d love to see it! 🤘🏼
Damn that's good choreography!
Thank you for creating one of the best light saber fights I've seen.
Just awesome speed and technique.
Also big shout out to the cameraman/woman. Great angles.
Thank YOU for watching and supporting us! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
That was actually amazing.
So what do we have here?
1) A MORDHAU-like 3v1 for most of the time.
2) A Dark Jedi with a green lightsaber (probably, Jensaarai, if anybody remembers the real Canon).
3) Also, Dark Jedi that don't give a sith about getting stabbed. The Dark Jedi Grandmaster even says something like "Yo, have a break", when he is practically left alone against a Jedi.
4) Also, that hug attempt after the first successful thrust...or so it looked. Anyway, it was rather cute.
5) Two angels with lightsabers appearing out of nowhere at the end.
Honestly, I was very skeptical at the beginning. But it looked so ridiculous I actually warmed up very quickly.
Part 2 PLEASE!!! I wanna see which team wins! Seriously though, such a beautifully choreographed fight scene. Disney/Lucasfilm should be ashamed of themselves to be out done by a group of fans who in their words quote- "are a bunch of neck-bearded, slovenly, over-weight, basement dwelling, 'everything-phobic', misogynistic, gate-keeping, weepy, man babies, who don't know what Star Wars or the Force is really all about!" Glad to see that y'all have proven them wrong on soo many levels it's fricken' hilarious! Keep up the astounding and astonishing work! I look forward to these fight scenes year after year and I am never dissatisfied nor disappointed. Thank you all so very much from one fan to others. You do Star Wars proud with your efforts.
honestly deserves to win after all these years
when cavemen get lightsabers:
still holds up 3 years later. shame we never got to see the 3v3
I know I know I’m sorry lol We do have a big new one coming soon 👀
I love that you can tell which saber impact sounds were pulled from the OT be ause of how much meatier they sound
I would love to see a ‘realistic’ light saber dual someday. Something where the fighters aren’t taking unrealistic monster swings at one-another. Quick, economy of motion stuff. Like it would be if it were real.
Neat
Christopher Tsovko Great
Thanks
@@BLOODxcrazer do you have a turbocharger for this havoc
Nice to see someone reminding Hollywood how it's done.
Way better than the creator Disney puts out. For real they need to for that choreographer
You guys should direct the "Franchise". Hell of a lot better then what we got now.
David Szumanski hahahahahaha no
Music is EPIC.. the saber fights are EPIC... great overall guys! Just wish the baddies would have been dirty from the beginning. He looked so much more menacing when he was all dirty at the end!
Thank you sir!! We did some light dirt in the beginning but then turned it up as the fight went on! Good eye.
The coolest part of this was when the guy dual wielded. There was some wild swinging, but lots of good form as well. Really gave some Blue Spirit vibes.
I am shocked to see what is going on , but you guys did so great you have just inspired me even more to be a Jedi in real life and learn more lightsaber skills as a peacekeeping warrior Jedi
Great choreography! Really brutal and primal in the saber conflict. Really enjoyed it!
Love how the shirt go for kill shots while the Jedi went for defense or went for a stab that would only disable the person that got stabbed, not killed
Amazing fight choreography. The outfits though are what throws me. It's like Survivor meets Star Wars! But with dueling that looks THIS good between 4 people you could be wearing sequined ball gowns and I wouldn't care! Totally cool and truly on a whole different level.
I cant help but feeling that the choreo looks a bit SILAT-y in nature...
0:28 I got goose bumps here
My headcanon for this is that a jedi expedition crash landed on this planet. The primitive locals took them in and feigned being friendly, but while the jedi slept they stole their lightsabers and began to hunt them for sport. They wittle away all but one of the jedi, though losing some of their own on the way due to the ingenuity and wit of the jedi. That last jedi standing managed to take back a lightsaber, but has been run ragged at this point. By the time this duel starts, he is desperate, tired and at his wits end, but has managed to wittle them down to the last three - the strongest of the tribe.
Award winning...Yes well deserved! I could pic up on some of the choreography as to where I've seen it before, example at 3:17 reminded me of the mansion scene from Matrix Reloaded with Neo fighting the guys with swords!
I am blown away buy how amazing the choreography was done! Outstanding!!
That was exactly the inspiration! Good catch 😉
Best one I have seen so far, most others have awkward choreography moments and cringey acting but was amazing all the way through. The only thing that bugged me were the saber colors :D felt weird only having 1 red saber
Appreciate it! Yeah I feel ya. The idea is that these "savages" probably slaughtered other Jedi and Sith alike and that's how they came about obtaining their lightsabers. If you notice, they don't exactly know how to take a stance or hold a saber properly.
So you can survive getting a light sabre through your spine 😂
The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural
@Danny lifts That just drives my point. Savages would use the Dark Side more times than not.
Honestly, my personal favorite thing about this is the fighters using the fact that lightsabers aren't always on to their advantage. It's not something used often enough.
Instead of an elaborate review, I'm just gonna say this:
That was fucking awesome.
That music was amazing.
As was the choreography and the setting. I loved the way the fight progressed through sunset into the coming storm.
That deserved to win. Well done.
This is so cool. I've been looking at saber fights for a while and I kinda want to make one myself. Any advice for how to start? Also th e fight really had me on the edge of my seat. I wasn't sure what was going to happen. Definitely well made I decided to check out your other stuff and I'm now a fan. Well done!
Use this www.thecustomsabershop.com/ hope you know what you are doing.
AHHH SO MANY BADASS WOMEN THANK YOU!!!!! As a girl trying to learn lightsaber fighting and make things like this it’s awesome to see some badass female characters!!! Finally so many of this films lack them and when they are there they can’t fight and are never seen as the saving grace!
Top 5 lightsaber choreography I’ve seen
Awesome. Feels like it needs a colour filter to bring the warm tones down.
Impressive most impressive floki the Jedi 😂🤣 where's Ragnar the Jedi 2 😂🤣
Oh come ON dude, you can't end such an amazing fight on such a cliffhanger! PLEASE tell me there's gonna be a sequel
Hahaha Mayyyybeeeee ;) You'll have to wait and see what 2020 brings!
@@MichaelYadvish however long it takes, we'll be here!
How we all imagine our 1 v 3s look in battlefront 2 😂
Hmmmm the Jedi and a Sith working together, to kill Fallen Jedi?
Maybe a dark jedi....but wrong color sword
Danny lifts Right, and I'm tired of those people that say that things suck because of a lack of story.
Danny lifts I know that I'm just saying that other people don't like fun since they want things to be relative.
Danny lifts Ohhhhh!
Danny lifts I couldn't agree with you more.
That was awesome. Contact me when you make the next one.

This is better than anything Disney can come up with
So true!
Did you respond to your own comment
Since it's only Lightsabers.. this dude would have been long dead realistically seeing the situation
I would very much like for there to be a story behind this
Ooooo maybe next year we'll flesh this movie out more!
Why are “amateurs” who don’t have anything to do with the official Star Wars movies or tv shows, coming up with better more well choreographed lightsaber duals than the people who are actually running the franchise?
Because the 'amateurs' love the source material, have probably watched it more times than all the writers combined and know what other fans want.
Because they're not bound by SJW propaganda and the tricky mine field that is pleasing all the snowflakes with hair trigger keyboards.
That's right humans, the problem was you all along..
tumatauenga What do “snowflakes” have to do with Disney not making great lightsaber duels?
Saber fights in this was infinitely better than what was in the latest Star Wars movies...
I'm sure there's budgetary reasons behind it partly, but I love this take on the siths style and appearance.
I like how the girl used force heal im assuming
Justin Chang You assumed correctly sir!
@@MichaelYadvish love it bro keep it up!!!!
I think you didn't understand the spirit of lightsaber fighting. This fight looks like some punks found lightsabers and play with it. Obi Wan would says : "an elegant weapon for a more civilized age"
Well, keep in mind, he's fighting three savages, who doubtfully have civility in mind when trying to slaughter a jedi.
100 of millions of dollars spent for the Star Wars trilogy and these guys outdid every fight that was ever done.
Great film. Just like to see the more canon use of a lightsaber. Being that a light saber would basically cut through a body like hot knife to butter, rather than just staying in the same place.
Also love the “Techno Viking” vibes.
