Default Lightsaber Duels

Yeah, you heard me. Some special effects artists got together and made a few videos with lightsaber duels. How good are these guys? Well, they're so good, they've gotten more than 1,000,000 views of their Ryan vs Dorkman episode.

The artists use special effects to create nearly real lightsaber duels. The only untrue part is that they seem to come back for more...They use Force powers such as Pull and Push, elbow each other, and best of all, fight to the death using their skills with lightsabers.

For Star Warriors (My self-invented word for Star Wars fan), mostly. Others might get bored easily.

The artists' names are:

Ryan Wieber
Micheal "Dorkman" Scott
Brandon Flyte
and Chris Wilson

Here's just two video. It's Ryan vs Dorkman 1...RvD1 for short:


And Ryan vs. Dorkman 2...RvD2:

Pretty cool videos. Surprisingly good special effects for being fan made. Here is one of my favorite Star Wars fan videos.

Nice effects, but their styles sucked. What does Dorkman do, foil fencing? And Ryan uses some kind of kenjutsu, or at least he tried to.

But still, not bad, at least they did anything.

Actually, Neither of them actually know how to use a sword or anything. They don't have any 'Real' styles. They just kinda messed around and kept what they liked.

Crazy, neh?

They use Force Effects Lightsdabers combined with super-heated rods dipped in water, along with other effects. These guys are professionals. I'm sure they watched the movies multiple times and used the styles they saw there, probably the styles from the 2nd and 3rd episodes.

Yeah these guys are awesome! Once some friends and I did the same thing, and it takes a lot of rehearsing on how to move around to make it look cool on camera. Otherwise if you try to do it as you go none of the "lightsabers" slashes or blocks connect so you're always missing.
