hey that looks pretty kewl.

[BR3TT]

Man thats awesome..

Only thing I noticed was the red guys light saber (metal part) bent when he put on the red thing.

That could be normal, and if it is, sorry.. I've just never seen Starwars.

[Jimmeh]

Yeh the bent thing is normal... but personally i though it was abit Too bent....

[neo_kre8or]

yeah agree with the bend - but otha than that sweet deal - my uni did something similiar called CSE Revue

[moochie]

Todd that is awesome!!!

[fauxpas]

As todd said in a pm, the sabre models used are 100% accurate... pay particular attention to eps 2 & 3 to see count dooku's sabre... tis hell bent...

I think it looks more bent than normal because of the way it is drawn at the begining

[Jimmeh]

Yeh your right faux... now that i look at it closer it only looks so bent because of the way he pulls it out.... he pulls it ou tby the bend and makes it look much more bent then usual

[Noddy]

hehe that is awesome .
how long it take u to edit.

The only problem i see with it is that when you are lying on the ground the saber handle looks like a cardboard tube :S and isnt bent....also that the moves do look a lil slow and pre rehersed but now im just being picky and ill shut up before i get my ass flamed....

Other than that its excellent dude, the saber blades themselfs look good and you cant see any faults with them as they move...

Man that looks great, nothing wrong with the effects at all.

And the person who mentioned the cardboard part thing, It's a test, the end of that test hasn't been fully done by the looks of it as you can see a stick next to him where the lightsabre was after he dropped it.

Todd, you got some mad skills :)

Man i wish i could do effects like that.

Congrats. Can't wait to see the finished product either. :)

one tip bout the fighting...memba duku only used his sabre one handed :D

the blades look awesome. one of my mates also did something like that, sept he had force lightning and everything! i think he also has done a dragonball z type thing with the energy beams

Count dooku does use a 1 handed style its called "form 2" but the guy using dookus hilt couldnt really get the balance with 1 hand besides we had to use that one out of naccesity archer and i normally only collect jedi sabers not sith and that was the only 1 i had :)
