Well I'll be a monkeys uncle, I swore this one was on the sift before. Wonder what happened to the first one?

Both turned out to be self-links by the people themselves. As far as I recall.

Didn't siftbot post it - so the original poster got away with it really.

I love that the first 30 seconds of the duel is done without a camera cut, even though they're doing complicated things and the cameraman is walking around the fight... hard to do that long a take in a professionally-staged swordfight, much less one by very talented amateurs done in their spare time....

They're more creative than Lucas' folks

I don't think people are noticing that these are the SAME two guys that brought us one of THE biggest vote getting sifts of ALL time...the Best Lightsaber Duel:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Best-home-made-lightsaber-duel-ever

It brought a whopping 357 votes as of now. This one should get published straight away cause it's just as awesom. Valientcoward, thankyou for bringing it and welcome to the sift.

Very nice.

Yay! I'm really glad I got one published! Thanks for all the help Swampgirl. Greatly appreciated.

yay for coward!! remain valiant, it becomes....

You're welcome, I'm glad this got noticed this time. I made a play list for new members after your last attempt. It's official, welcome to the sift. I can take this one off the newbie list now

If I'm not mistaken Ryan is Lucas' folks - he was (is?) a LucasArts employee who worked on several games.

(I could be wrong though)

choreography, while nice, is not quite fluid. need to work on your circular action more guys...

If you'll note the singe that Ryan gives Mike's leg at the end of the battle, I think that's payback for the singe Mike gave Ryan in the first battle.

Better than any Lucas-made duel but still too "dancy". First one was better.
