Star Wars "Scene 38 Reimagined" #SC38Reimagined

[Indy Magnoli]

Very well done, but a bit overboard, in my opinion. I never had a problem with the original "slow" scene. I thought Adywan did a great job speeding it up a little bit and adding the music from the prequels to tie it in a bit without entirely reinventing the scene.

I always liked the idea that Vader and Obi Wan became less "showy" in their fighting styles and got back to basics. It was more like a chess match than an MMA fight.

My two cents,
Magnoli

For a fun "what if" type moment this is very cool and well done. But yeah, glad Lucas never did anything like this as an official version.

George would have never thought to have camera moves like that. Ever. He comes from a documentary film background where you set the camera up and let the scene play out in the wide shots using close up shots for coverage.

Again I applaud the talent that went into this, but tonally it's just too modern to mesh well with the more classical look of the original film. The original was simple and perhaps too subtle by today's standards, but it's a classic for a reason.

If this was the kind of fight seen in the new Star Wars films, I could get used to that as a means to create a new style of lightsaber choreography. Lots of talent there.

Why re-inventing the wheel? Great job, sure...but it's not necessary to do all that when the original is great already

Why fix it if it ain't broke? I agree with you. All these changes to the originals. Why not change the prequels and sequels to better fit with the originals?
