NON Star Wars fans react to Every Lightsaber Duel from Star Wars (Episodes 1-6) 

We watched all 6 Star Wars movie on the channel! You can check out our reaction on our Star Wars playlist

Fun fact about the last Obi-wan vs Anakin fight: their full speed was not sped up or edited to make them seem faster. the two actors trained and worked to make that fight epic.

The thing I respect the most about this video is the "I don't want spoilers" line, because that means what he's seen so far has hooked him enough that he's going to now watch the movies, which is always welcome.

"It's like they are fighting in Hell or something." I believe that is very much the effect George Lucas was going for. (In essence, an Angel - Anikin, being "cast down" & becoming the Devil - Vader)

Fun fact: the guy who taught the actors how to duel with the lightsabers, also taught the cast of the Lord of the Rings how to fight with swords.

@12:20, the actor playing the old dude is the late great Sir Christopher Lee. Prior to acting he was a fencing champion and a member of the Royal Air Force. He is also descended from Italian nobility.

To summarize what the colors mean. Green is typically a jedi who prefers diplomacy before violence. Blue is for jedi who typically think of using their saber to make peace. Purple usually means they dabble in the dark side or have a good balance of both sides of the force. And finally red means they bled their kyber crystal wich is the power source of the saber and is a practice that sith use to make it red. And there's a few one off colors like white is a mended kyber crystal and yellow is neutral typically. (edit: to all who commented i did say it was a summarization didn't i? lmao but i did learn some new stuff about the franchise i love so i appreciate you teaching me some new star wars knowledge and btw embrace the empire...)

“Who tf is this green goblin man” had me dying lmao 😂

I’d have watched the entire movies to understand the duels. It’s not all lasers and cool stuff I believe it has substance.

The first fight between Luke and Vader was a vison warning Luke of two things. The first if he was not careful, he would follow in Vader's footsteps and the second was he was nowhere near ready to face Vader in a lightsaber dual and if he tried, he would lose (which he did). That is why when the helmet cracked it was his own face staring back at him.

Whoever edited those fight scenes for you did a great job of cutting out all the spoilers in the dialogue. You guys are in for a treat when you actually watch the movies.

"You were my brother Anakin. I loved you." always brings a tear to my eye.

Loved the reaction 😂 from a die hard starwars fan, to see people in amazement of what I’ve found amazement in for over 2 decades is awesome. And I loved how you didn’t want to spoiled because the story runs SO deep. You guys have to watch the movies

@22:30, the young guy at the end with the amputated limbs is Darth Vader. You just watched how he became the dude in the black suit. In the Kenobi series they have another duel that takes place a decade before Episode IV.

The colors are pretty simple to explain: Green is for the good guys who's characters are talkers before they are warriors Blue are for good guys who fight to protect the good before trying to talk it out Red are the villains Purple is Samuel L. Jackson, because he wanted a purple lightsaber

Y’all definitely gotta watch clone wars fights, they’re pretty good especially later ones 🔥

This is just what I’ve heard over the years and gathered Green- wise, strong connection to the force Blue- good fighting and dueling skills Yellow- Guard Purple- primary user of the light side but can control their dark side and use it against dark side users Red- torturing their kyber crystals to make it “bleed”. White- grey Jedi. Doesn’t use either light or dark side beliefs but instead follows their own way of the force. Can also happen when healing a previously bleeding crystal. So if a Jedi killed a sith and healed the crystal it would go from red to white.

The music was written and composed by John Williams for all the Star Wars films. He has the most recognizable music in all films, he also did Superman, Indiana Jones, and Jaws, just to name a few.

"Yo I thought these guys were homies whats going on?" made me laugh way to hard😂😂😂

You should also watch all of the Clone Wars and Rebels show battles. There are some amazing ones among them.

18:07 “Something happened to this guy…I think he turned evil.” Yeah you could say that 😂😂 great video

Light Saber battles were like a war of attrition. What you don't see is the use of the force. They created shields around themselves, used it to enhance their perception and even slow time a bit. It was about using certain styles to counter others and wearing down your opponents until they dropped their guard and made a mistake. If you read the books it describes it very well

This was beyond enjoyable. I'm so glad you guys kept mentioning the score. And the final fight between green saber luke n Vader the music is incredibly emotional. I also love how you kept looking away trying not to get spoiled. This was a great video.

Crystal colour typically refers to your resonance in and how you use the force. Green are for the people who connect to and use the living force for peaceful endeavours. The blue colour indicates that you use the force for combative aspects. Red more often than not is just associated with the Sith and the dark side. Red crystals are former jedi crystals that have undergone the "bleeding" process, where they subject the crystal to the users pain and turn it red. White is a purified crystal, meaning a crystal that was once red, but is now white. Yellow is for the jedi temple guards and force users that are also very attuned to the living force.

That last fight in episode 1 was between Ewan McGregor and Ray Park. I don’t know about McGregor but Ray Park has multiple black belts and they both put in an insane amount of time training to get their fight as close to perfect as it could get. They even had to slow the fight down in editing because the producer/editor/whoever didn’t think audiences would believe they could move that fast (which is a very weird thing to think considering it’s a sci-if movie with lasers).

Hey guys, I just thought you'd like knowing that for the Episode I fight, Duel of the Fates, they actually had to SLOW DOWN the footage of the three of them fighting because they were going so fast that the production team thought people wouldn't believe it!

The prequel films were choreographed by Nick Gillard. Who is a sword master and George Lucas thought he did such a good job that Gillard actually has a scene in the third Star Wars prequel. You may have noticed that one of the red blades was Sir Christopher Lee who I believe actually holds the record for the most cinematic fights on screen. The main difference for why the Duels seam so wooden in the original trilogy versus the prequel, is because Lucas set it up where the first duel was a cyborg versus an extremely old man and then you got to see Luke progressing in his own training. During the prequel era this was a time when Jedi Knights were prominent throughout the Galaxy. At the time of episode 1 there were 10,000 Jedi Knights serving the Republic. The lightsaber colors themselves are dictated by the kyber crystals at the heart of every lightsaber. The Sith lightsabers or the dark side lightsabers have been bled by pouring a bunch of negative emotions into the kyber crystals therefore causing this red effect because the crystals cry out by bleeding. The prequels are about the fall of Darth Vader and how the Democracy of the Republic turned into the tyranny of the empire. The original trilogy is about the Redemption of Vader by his son and the destruction of the empire that Vader helped create. The downside of not watching them in chronological order you end up missing that the lightsaber that Anakin is using in that fight on Mustafar is the one that Luke loses when his hand gets chopped off on Bespin( which would later find its way into the hands of Rey) the nine film Main Saga is buffeted by three films which would be classed as Anthology films, 4 CGI series, and soon to be 5 Live action series. Also fun fact the actors Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen are actually that fast. The start of that final fight that is actually them and their natural speed that's how good they got while training for that fight

"This Ni**** went evil or something" If only he knew how right he was.

Watches Mustafar Duel: Oh this is definitely the best one. Star Wars Fans: I love democracy

You guys need to watch the movies for context. It’s really exciting watching new starwars folk start there journey. Just ignore the sequels…. I know I wish I did

“damn this guy turned evil or something”, yeah mhm “that guy”

I love this video because you say what pretty much every star wars fan ever has said once in their life especially the "the purple lightsabre is fire"

Fun Fact: The Actor who plays Darth Maul (the guy with the double lightsaber) is Ray Park who is also a professional Stuntman. He did his own stunts for the movie and also did motion capture for Maul in the final season of Star Wars The Clone Wars.

I just want to point out that 19:17 is not just a random spinning for your eyes, as some uninitiated people might think. The reason it was put in the fight is that Obi Wan (the one in the brighter robes) trained Anakin ever since he was a little boy, he taught him everything, they were like brothers with same manners in some aspects. The spinning should just tell the audience how alike they really are, how Anakin embraced Obi Wan's fighting style so you could tell that the one was raised and taught by the other.

Doesn't want to get spoiled... but watches every major fight scene in the first two trilogies LOL

Watching this made me feel like I was watching these duels for the first time. Even though I had seen them over a thousand times 😅

The dual bladed lightsaber Darth Maul uses is called a Saber Staff and is one of the deadliest in star wars and also something if it were made in real life would be extremely effective in combat

“He’s son-ing him in this one.” - That’s the perfect quote for this scene in multiple ways.

I have been so waiting for a video reaction like this.

"he's sonning him on this one" is the best unintentional joke i've ever heard

Their praise for the music is awesome! John Williams is a genius

I gotta say i appreciate how much you liked the first one you watched. Many people don't like that fight, which is somewhat understandable knowing what lightsaber fighting is like now. But that one was literally the very first lightsaber fight ever made, and nobody at that time even knew wtf any of that stuff was, including the actors. I appreciate the actors doing what they could to really get into it as much as they did, its so much fun. Episode 6 luke vs vader is my favorite live action duel. So much emotion and meaning in that fight.

2:00 “Why’d he give up???” Ben: I’m too old for this shit *ded*

Fun fact: The reason mace windu ( sam Jackson) has a purple is because he straight up just asked for one and george was like "okay" because i mean its THE samuel l jackson, you cant say no

Anyone catch them saying “no way he’s dying like that” when kenobi was getting choked by Ankin, and the first clip or one of them was seeing kenobi “give up” in their eyes😂

It would be great to have you two in the Star Wars fan community!

The reason why there is purple lightsaber, is that S. L. Jackson wanted purple lightsaber and George gave it to him :D Then they clarified for the Lore that purple lightsaber owners use a bit of dark side to channel it to better fight dark side users

Seeing you guys react to this first hand. Brings back my childhood when I first watched it

“Oh man, Yoda fighting that guy who’s always chillen!” 🤣 17:30

Watch the movies but no need to watch episode 7,8 or 9 they aren’t canon

3:10 - “Damn he soning him in this one” funny you say that😏

The left guy absolutly enjoyed obiwas vs anakin :D

Watch the Original Trilogy 1st!!! Episode 4, 5 & 6 in that order, best experience 👍.

Those guys who you called "trash" -- they were *skilled* Jedi masters. The fact that Palpatine took them out so fast is more a testament to his skills.

‘Damn he sonnin him in this one’ little do they know how right they are

@21:05 “he’s sonning him in this one” is the more accurate than he knew 😂

"YOOOOOODAAAAA" "I thought you knew nothin' about Star Wars, bro." This shi* had me dying

“They goin crazy though” watching the new hope fight 😂😂

Now, I just stumbled upon this channel, so I have no clue who any of you two are, but the guy to the right... If you didn't want to be spoiled, WHY ON EARTH DID YOU AGREE TO WATCH THIS?!?

The music adds so much emotion to the fights

“damn Yoda’s fighting that n*gga who was always chillin” 😂

Guy on the right: I can’t look and spoil it! (Can’t look away)😂

Double one is called a saberstaff :)

You called the emperor the n that’s always chillin 😭😭😭

Thanks for really watching all Lightsaber duels in Star Wars 🙏

Many hate episode 1, but it's got the best saber fight of any of them.

For the Anakin vs Obi fight seeing people not know Star Wars watch it thinking how cool and crazy it is. But once you see the sheer emotion from the background with this fight it's hard to see cool and crazy, but rather sad and intense

17:10 You have to watch the whole scene to understand why Anakin attacked him... he needed the Emperor alive to help him save Padme, he acted in desperation

as someone who grew up on star wars, this made me happy

I have seen comments about them not speeding it up. Infact they had to slow some of them down. They were just that good

That fight were Vader got his head cut off was just a vision

I love how if you watch in release order the saber fights get better and better until you’re watching the best fight scene ever

Duel of the Fates, Anakin vs Obi-Wan, and Darth Vader vs Luke in Return of the Jedi are the best lightsaber fights in my opinion.

How blown were your minds when you found out the very first one you watched were the same 2 characters from the very last one?

The inner Star Wars nerd in me wants to be in the room with them giving context to the fights.

The fact they have never heard the line " no I am your father" just from ordinary pop culture

"I dont wanna get spoiled" You knew what you were getting into, what did you expect. Coulda sat it out

“Major character died and we got spoiled” it’s been out for 20 years 😂

Hayden Christenson is Anakin, Ewan mcgregor is obi wan, and both of them got STUPID good with saber fighting. The Blue vs blue one, episode 3. And in the story, anakin is one of the most powerful jedi, with an incredibly aggressive fighting style, while obi wan is a master of defense. They mirrored each other perfectly, and thats why it wasn't so simple for one to win hehe

Grew up watching star wars my whole life can't wait for you to watch the old republic trailers all in order

Lightsabers are beams of pure energy.

“He son-in him this one” little does he know 🤣🤣

Watching the movies in order brings much more context to all the fights.

0:59 Darth Vader vs Obi Wan Kenobi 2:10 Fake Vader vs Luke Skywalker 2:50 Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader 5:40 Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader 7:18 Qui-Gon Jinn vs Darth Maul 7:42 Qui-Gon Jinn & Obi Wan Kenobi vs Darth Maul 11:20 Obi Wan Kenobi & Anakin Skywalker vs Count Dooku 12:41 Yoda vs Count Dooku 13:33 Obi Wan Kenobi & Anakin Skywalker vs Count Dooku 14:42 Obi Wan Kenobi vs General Grievous 15:57 Mace Windu vs Darth Sidius 17:14 Yoda vs Darth Sidius 17:56 Obi Wan Kenobi vs Anakin Skywalker

2:08 Just so you know, that duel wasn't real. It was just a vision that Luke had and it showed that Luke's worst enemy is himself.

I just love how everyone at first assumes General Grievous is a robot🤣

It’s really cool to see people that aren’t exactly fans enjoy the duels because they truely are a treat on the eyes and if you invest yourself into the movies they become even better. Also the lava planet that Anakin and obi-wan fight on is Mustafar which actually holds great significance in the entire Saga but I won’t dare spoil anything in case you do want to watch the movies.

It’s amazing watching the original fights, then the Prequels were fantastic shows. Also, love how you’re watching ever fight and worried about spoilers

Red is rage, blue is defending, green is peace, purple is the mixture of rage and good. Blue and red making mace windu apart of the light side while showing no mercy

“Will he be okay fighting a 1v1 tho?” He says as Qui Gon duels Darth Maul 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Don't worry about spoilers. Watching the movie will only make the fights better. You never get tired of watching those fights.

in episode 1 the actor for darth maul, ray park, is an actual gymnast, stuntman and trained martial artist so those jumps and flips, with the aide of springboards and trampolines, are 100% real and 100% all him. all while holding a double bladed lightsaber.

11:14 Yup he's certainly never coming back after being cut in half, 100% 🙂 5:13 PM 10/9/2022

“Damn , he’s son’in him in this one.” Who is gonna tell him?!? 😂

Omg you haven't seen this come on 🤣😂 you guys are in for a ride, telling by the reaction which was good, may the force be with you 🤘🏽

To answer your question: Lightsabers are essentially rods of hot plasma (i.e. lava). Hence why they glow and can cut through near anything as well as instantly cauterize wounds they make.

think the one on the right is less wanting to avoid spoilers and more wanting to sleep. dude looks sleepy.

"He sonnin him in this one" i mean yeh....yeh he is 😂

Sees enough that he's compelled to actually watch it and not have it spoiled lmao

My two favorite lightsaber moments are Luke's and Vader's hallway scenes. They both have Major Big D energy where they fuck everyone up and have a cigarette afterwards.
