More Jedi Fighting

Okay, after my last post I got sucked into the world of lightsabers on YouTube and ran across these two series:

Three in the Afternoon (and the upcoming sequel, Six in the Morning) is a funny take on what you might really do if someone dropped off some real lightsabers on your doorstep.

Ryan vs. Dorkman (and RVD2) is full-on action. Not a word of dialogue and none is needed. The original was an entry in the Lightsaber Choreography Contest on TheForce.net. If this is representative of the entries, I gotta see more! There is really some inventive choreography in these films. The music and camera moves are all pretty good too, especially for a fan film. I put this one up against my long time favorite lightsaber fight film, Duality, and I gotta admit, for sheer choreography, RVD wins it. Duality wins on looks and immersion into the Star Wars universe, but RVD’s action is smoother and more varied.

And though it has virtually no lightsabers in it, the Chad Vader series is still one of the funniest Star Wars offshoots around.
