Sith Old Republic Duel FAN Film Cinematic.. 

@@ScreenTested man YT went from the Wild West to a no fun zone. How is this not fair use?

@@Hot_Dice Probably because of Disney. They've been known to sue daycares who have the gall to show a Disney movie for the kids without a license. I don't know if there's a more litigious studio out there.

@@Hot_Dice Like all fan films, it has to be non-profit to be allowed by the IP holder. Nothing strange, star trek or LOTR works the same way

You don't mess with the mouse. This deserves more views though. Amazing stuff

That made me laugh in a way a comment simply cannot properly describe. Thank you.

where is Shad here?

@@BossBast1I do believe it is a joke. One that I got a little amusement out of. ^^

Legitimately laughed at that one.

You were the chosen one! It was said that you would respect the lore not destroy it! Bring balance to the discussion not leave it in darkness.

Just having time to choreograph and shoot would be awesome itself ,pretty much all filming I’ve ever done has had to be done in less than a Day

Bad ass for a couple guys just goofing off having fun

@@ScreenTested You're an absolute beast, Tyranth! The exact sort of homage I wanted for the high republic era.

​@@ScreenTested That's actually insane. I made a short film once and I think it took us two weeks in our own time to do a basic script and then two days to film. It wasn't even very long. An episode of the Simpsons would be longer than what we made.

they are trained in sparring though, that's why even without coreography it does not look like two mad men swinging baseball bats.

The monologue was perfect.

Yes. Before the dark times.

Κάνε braf

The power of one! The power of two! The power of maaaaaaannnnyyy.

no they dont, light yes not weightless

@@Leo.23232, Yeah, the whole "weightless" thing was something I'd found questionable and a bit superfluous as a detail, since there are various examples of lightsaber blades interacting with their environment like solid objects with weight, making them more akin to Green Lantern energy constructs than a regular beam of light. Still, the fencing style of the choreography emphasized dexterity gives it more in common with the Original Trilogy Era of lightsaber choreography, with the elements of speed and agility being reminiscent of the Prequel Era, the balance between those two styles is much appreciated, since both have merit.

@@callmev3531 Exactly, Ive had this argument so many times, where people say they must be weightless because it says so in some lore thing outside the movies which probably only originates from the fact it has 'light' in the name and must be weightless or they assume its made of plasma and weighs nearly nothing. Fact is, it never explains how it works in the original films, but it does show them moving and being used like a sword and being able to parry and being swung with power utilising momemtum/inertia. All of which is only possible if the blade has a sufficient amount of weight or at least have some sci fi bs that mimicks it having weight. So anyone claiming otherwise when writing this lore is basically making a contradiction, and it makes the lore worse if you take it as true.

Let’s get them a small budget and 100 hours and let them make a full length movie that blows Disney out of the water 😂

it already has greater narrative appeal than the acolyte or sequels do!

Lightsaber fights in general look goofy when examined closely. The Original Trilogy was a lot of wild swinging. The prequels was like dancing with a whole lot of openings and bad guard positioning. The sequels was like swinging sledge hammers or clubs at eachother,. The Ahsoka series was very low energy swinging. Now the acolyte is doing a weird mix of Chinese martial arts and Japanese samurai movie style stuff. The prequels looks the coolest I suppose but still kinda goofy.

@@dreadrath yeah, the prequels had issues. but as they pointed out, their misses were mere inch. it wasnt "im gonna swing a mile to your left." misses like the other stuff. plus there were genuinely excellent stuff, such as the Battle of Destiny and Obiwan vs Anakin. that was peak star wars fighting. plus, lets be honest. if lightsabers were a thing, it would be dancing. sword fighting in HEMA and such is very much dance like. prequels were as close to realistic as anything else, with all its flaws.

​@@dreadrath That just sounds like you don't like Star Wars. Which is fine, but why bother commenting on Star Wars stuff when you don't like Star Wars?

@@scorpionlord9175 If it was a thing, we have little idea how it would actually work since we have no idea how they would actually interact with each other, or even how it works all on its own, or how the hell they don't ignite and vaporize everything in their vicinity. Nor do we have any idea how people would fight with precognitive and superhuman abilities. Are they weightless, or is it like holding a gyroscope? We don't know. It is likely there would be a lot more saber resistant materials all over the place, fencing would be the most likely fighting style of choice and a lot more use of force powers. I.E. nothing we saw in this short video. Obiwan vs Anakin was janky as fuck and has been meme'd about endlessly as a result. Most of your complaints are safety issues, these actors aren't all skilled sword masters, or even skilled actor combatants. It sounds like you're bitching about a Shakespearian play that isn't actually killing people for the sake of realism.

@@gaberielpendragon So holding the opinion that lightsaber fights look a little goofy automatically means someone hates Star Wars as a whole? Damn, I had no idea that saber duels are the single defining element of the franchise. Guess someone's long time love for the original trilogy's storytelling and the memorable moments in the prequels mean nothing next a mild criticism. Lesson learned, if I don't like something 100%, I must hate it. Thank you sensei.

It’s our resident unicorn , Nate the great haha

@@ScreenTested Is it bad I knew it was him from the loose strings of his gambeson before I noticed his face behind the mask?

Yes! 😊🎉

I thought he was Nate because he was using the lightsaber in one hand most of the time. Shad is basically married to twohanded swordfighting. However, I started to have doubts when he did a twohanded grip but then I saw the face beneath the mask.

I thought the same thing!!! Holy Shiz! That's freaking Nate!!!

Came to the comments to see if anyone else thought it was Nate. Hope it was, guy was great, shame he couldn't stay on full time. *Edit* Just read a comment from Tyranth ONE comment down confirming it is Nate.

Except it's pretty janky and the lack of production is obvious. So, not even close. It's also only 4 min, not 2+ hours, or the roughly 4 hours of the Acolyte. The Acolyte was a blast to watch and is just more solid Star Wars content. Fine for a fan production, but that's all it is. There are plenty of higher production value fan productions of Star Wars around.

@@gaberielpendragon Short films exist, bruh. The Acolyte is garbage to watch.It's bad writers trying to virtue signal. The characters keep teleporting across the galaxy.

@@gaberielpendragon new batch ? that copium hits hard

Cope much?

It helps when you know how to duel.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion without serious bias. It's a nice fan piece, but it's clearly all that it is.

@@gaberielpendragon it checks off what it NEEDS to check off to draw people in. decent visuals (could use some cleanup) for their budget, decent story you can get invested in, and good fighting when compared to the disney crap.

Well disney made the acolyte to be about the Sith so you know Im sure people Enjoyed that.....................

@@ScreenTested Is it really, though? From what I've seen of it, it's a show about an idiot saying stupid shit and being incapable of making logically consistent decisions. Everyone else has no idea how the force bloody works.

that was fucking epic

❤

Unity is the weakness of the darkside. Unity is for the jedi. When the darkside is spread thin, it is weak. Only once it is concentrated into on being is it capable of destroying the jedi.

*ignites yellow lightsaber* I see it is my duty to stand against you.

If you just put the Codes side by side and ignore everything else, the Sith Code makes way more sense.

In the Rain.. I have to add that cause I hate shooting in the Rain haha..

@@ScreenTested Don't we all

I don't like rain. It's wet and gets everywhere.

While I don’t have any plans for a full fan Film , I will say there is another project that will be similar but hopefully a lot better ,when I get spare time to work on it 👍🏼

I disagree. I give the choreography a solid 8. It was realistic, I felt they were actually trying to kill each other. Each blow was aimed at the opponent, not their blade. No telegraphs that Stevie Wonder could see. It was very well done. I'll give you that it wasn't fancy and very flashy. That's the thing, though. Real combat isn't flashy. It's about doing what you can to stay alive. So spins, flashy flourishes, and entirely useless stunts will end with you dead. Once again, a solid 8 out of 10. And is that Shad as the hooded Sith?

Nate was our hooded sith 👍🏼 and just to add some context , none of this was choreographed which is why it feels realer cause it kinda was. This is what we could get done in less that 3 hours on a rainy Saturday as you can see from the last shot weather was not on our side.

@@FinrodFelagundTheFair I agree with you there, and its why I rated it so high for the cinamated part. It ties in really well with the epic narration and animation scenes. However, Tyreth stated he was trying to create a scene akin to the Old Republic style with its more entertaining and exaggerated choreography. It's the difference between stage combat and normal sparring. One is meant to help you hone technical skill, sparring, and one is meant to be entertaining, tell a story, and demonstrate combat skills safely. You are absolutely right that Tyreth showed great technical skill in this video, but that is not the same thing as good fight choreography, its only one part of it. Check out this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HwHNzL9-zpg.html Here you will see a perfect example of someone showing great fight choreography, a fight that is entertaining, shows skill, and is narratively important while also being highly technically proficient. This video on the other hand.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8C2mJfMo5Kw.html will show you great fight choreography while not paying as high attention to being technically accurate. That should give you an idea of what I meant and why I rated it the way I did.

@ScreenTested Tyranth...I must applaud you. I fell for it. It was smooth and clean to the point I thought you two had to have rehearsed the fight scene at least. Kudos. And Nate?! Wow! Great job! I should have guessed from the one-handed technique that he employed with the Saber. I knew Nate was skilled, but damn! You guys showed off today, and I'm here for it. Keep up the good work, You two, and Shad. I faer nín linna nan glass, Mellon nín.

@@ScreenTested That is awesome to hear! I was thought that was him under the hood but didn't want to get my hopes up with him having officially stepped away. Great work Tyreth for such a short time frame. Hope we see more video like these in the future.

Glad you Enjoyed! thanks for watching.

If only

I’m actually thinking of doing that just to give abit more context etc etc 👍🏼 so keep an eye out maybe I will
