Lets talk all things Star Wars

I’m no E-11 expert but it does look like a pretty darn good representation of a ANH E-11!

Its been there since June 2018!..I dug out the old pic he had of the Boba Helmet
I wish I'd got it now..

"You snooze you loose"

Depending on price, it could’ve made for decent starter helmet!

I’m shocked the E-11 has been sitting for almost 4 years. I assume it is legal and not a full-auto Sterling, right? Haha!

Funny you should mention that...its certainly heavy enough to be a real Sterling and it felt cold to the touch..
I'll ask if it comes with Ammo or Laser blasts

I'm taking a magnet to see whats what..


If I haven't posted for a week you know I've been arrested lol

Has anyone seen this?!? This is the first I’ve ever seen it and flipping out

I remember waaaay back in 2005 the rumors in the chat rooms were Anakin choked padme way more violently and threw her into a wall

This is the original choreography, totally insane

Edit: fixed thanks to joker

I do have to giggle a bit every time the fight choreography calls for the duelists to do the “spinning: that’s a neat trick” move…

Turning your back to your opponent—even for a second—while they hold a bladed energy weapon a few feet away from your back, would be a game-ender…

 

[Wolfsburg]

I totally agree. It looks pretty stupid. Stuff like that was my problem with a lot of the duels in the PT. The speed and intensity was often impressive but there were way too many pointless flourishes and twirls. So much of it just looked overly choreographed.

Often times they looked more like they were just trying to clash blades for effect rather than actually trying to hit each other, as would be the real goal in the first place. Lol!

I don’t mind it, it’s fantasy

Well, sword fighting / dueling in film is more closely related to “dance choreography” than it is to true fighting.

Though I giggle at a lot of the PT lightsaber choreography, with its wrist twirls, body spins, and other flourishes, I do have to give a lot of respect to the skill of the actors…remembering the precise moves and timing, even for just this sequence, had to be dizzying. I know I couldn’t do it:

I Always believed he sacrifices himself to make Obiwan a better Jedi..he was never going to beat Maul, I miss Maul like Boba a character criminally under used..

I definitely agree it takes a lot of coordination and skill on the actors’ parts to carry out such displays.

I don’t know what the price is for the E-11, but it doesn’t look too bad. “Here’s my money!” is what I’d be saying.

Plus real sword fights are won in a matter of seconds, doesn’t make for good story telling lol

Alas, we can blame the "turning your back" spin move on Empire. Luke did it against Vader, and it always bugged me. Even as a five-year-old. It didn't look right. The most "authentic" fight is still the one between Ben and Vader in ANH, followed by Luke and Vader in ROTJ. Empire was good, but had moves like that that hurt the overall duel.

First film did it first.

My least favorite part of any of the OT duels was probably the weird flip backwards Vader does, when Luke kicks him off the steps leading up to the throne. I guess it’s because he looked so clearly like he was on a harness! Lol

 

[Inquisitor Peregrinus]

Oh my gawd, I must have blotted that out of my memory. *sigh* Welp, something else to add to my rewrite notes... Already had commentary about the useless twirling of the 'saber. I have no problem with the duelers using acrobatics, like flipping over their opponents, because, y'know, Jedi. For that matter, I'd love to see some Matrix-style bursts of Force-speed to try to throw an opponent off-balance. But the spin-around move is bad through-and-through. Which is what Ben should've gotten there.

This^^^
If you can't do it well..dont do it.
His cape is all over the place when he lands..

 

[Wolfsburg]

Hey, Obi-wan tried spinning and it was a good trick.

Yeah it just looked so goofy.

Its a bit like in the Potter movies..they don't have to utter the curse but they Always do...
SW has the Force but rarely use it in a fight..

Then he died..
