Better than Lucasfilm? Fan-made lightsaber duels
I've seen them before: fan-made lightsaber duels. They're usually funny in their "bunch 'a kids foolin' around with a camera and a computer" kind of way. But they're usually pretty cheesy, and the choreography and acting are so bad that you can barely call them as much. ( Star Wars Kid, anyone?)
However, I saw one of these videos pop up on my YouTube radar and the still image caught my attention. I clicked it, but I was skeptical. Um...I was impressed! I actually got chills when watching Concrete Hustle. And then I watched some Ryan/Dorkman productions, and there was more! I can't believe how well done these are. I mean, they're just lightsaber duels; they aren't feature films or anything...there's no story or whatever. But these are some of the best lightsaber duels I've seen ever....and they aren't even Star Wars!
I lost my faith in Lucasfilm with the disaster that was Episodes I through III. But this stuff has renewed my faith in the Force! Check 'em out!
