The Art of the Saber

Have you guys seen it?

To me all those millions of dollars spent making episode I and II are dwarfed by this little fan film made by 3 people on a shoe string budget.

I would go as far as to say, that in its beauty and poigniancy this film transcends star wars, to be something greater, an ode to the tragedy of our times.

Perhaps, thats just the background music, making me overly sentimental. Nevertheless, check it out guys...

Please don't ever use a Jar-Jar reference again...

...just like the ewoks..he never existed... (and wtf was with the metachlorins???) :mad:
Otherwise a really good effort and film.
I think they should lose the shades though...

I didnt actually like the fact that a story was thrown in, didnt suit, pointless, not very futuristicy but of course i realise the repeatitiveness of random saber fights.

For attention to detail in editing, effects, sound 9/10. Lost one point because at times the high speed doubling was too obvious.

Storyline 5/10. They got 5 dispite what i said above cos good guy loses, i think, was the saber colours mixed up>ill watch it again now in a min.

Fight scene 10/10. I think only one of them was the martial arts wiz but it was well coriagraphed and absolutly amazing

It's not the good guy who loses, I think we're deliberatly meant to identify with the evil guy (the one doing the voiceover and gets killed)

C'mon...they were terrible!!
It makes me sooo mad that they are so central to the story.......think about it...if it wasn't for them the rebels would never have known there was a back entrance to the shield generator.......would never have taken the aforementioned entrance by surprise if that supid little ewok had not stolen the speeder....probably wouldn't have countered the surprise attack the emperor had planned.......therefore not blown up the generator,goodnight rebel alliance!

So the empire was not taken down by the alliance or by the sole remaining Jedi....but by...fury...annoying...puppets

.....Maybe I'm thinking too much about this....god IM A NERD

(well it worked for simon pegg...maybe I should do my thesis on this very subject!!!)

by the way,I do agree with you on the fried ewok.....mmmmm satisfying
