The original fights didn't need to be sped up to make them better, they simply need background music. A large part of what makes the prequil trilogy fights seem so epic is the music played in those fights. If you were to watch those fights muted, they would seem much less amazing, and if you were to add a good soundtrack to the original fights, they would seem far more impressive.
IMO, the only original trilogy duel that is not "on par" with the prequels speed wise is A New Hope. That should be sped up, but the other two are just fine and on par with the prequels in terms of action. good vid though
I agree with the video description, This is better slow. This fight had much more emotion and meaning than the Death Start II fight. The subtleties of each move carried so much weight.
@GeneralKavakos not exactly, because in episode 3 there was still hope that one day The Jedi returned. In This One The Heroes get screwed in more phsycological matter (because of the father stuff).
I am glad adywan said he was gonna make the prequels match the original trilogy. DOWN GRADE, I hate all this make it like the prequels. THE PREQUELS SHOULD BE LIKE THE ORIGINALS
The prequels had better lightsaber fighting (if not more realistic) and better effects, so I think that these kind of edits are pretty cool. I still hate the prequels, but the effects and fighting was better.
Actually after watching the prequels over and over I found that they hardly ever touch blades. They are just hard core choreography without the danger
@LifeJuice90 I disagree - the lightsaber duels and Force powers are simply too unimpressive and slow in the OT - and I grew up with the OT before I saw the PT. The OT needs all of its duels and Force powers redone. Even the PT needs work - not one ROTS duel lived up to my expectations. This is all a matter of preference though.
@DarthZillasaurus I disagree, the PT destroyed the coolness of the force and the lightsaber. They were over used. There was no climax in any of the PT, because we saw explosions and lightsabers 500 times before each big duel. I prefer the emotional depth in the lightsaber duels of the OT to the flashiness of the PT. The only reason I like Star Wars is the emotional depth absent from other Sci Fi, including the PT.
Good job but I did not see much of a difference. I like the orignal duel in empire. It is a good match up, because Vader just totally owns Luke with a lightsaber. But the end was way to sped up, it went to fast, you should have left that the same. Nice try though, not to knock your video.
"you'll find that im full of surprises"- just another great quote from this saga. i watched it with caramelldansen again, dont ask why, its sounds awsome with it.
The first part is very subtle and nice, doesn't appear riced out as the EpIII fight is by nature ;) The last swings may be a bit too fast but nothing is perfect :)
If you want to do even better, try to lower the pitch of the speeded up sound track without lowering its speed. When Vader gets his shoulder tapped the moan is slightly to ohigh pitched.
i kinda didn't notice anything that bothered me, except that towards the end seconds away before luke was about to get his hand chopped off, the sped up kinda went too fast.
still i really enjoyed the sped-up duelin you did. kudos!! :]
I didn't see much in the way of changes. Empire is my favorite, along with Revenge,and I didn't really think that there was a problem with the duel before. I appreciate any changes that can actually bring a different aspect,perhaps better(Like the vid where someone added Qui-Gon's spirit to the end of Return),but I just didn't see much cut out except for Leia and them.
cgz, this (IMO) the best duel in all Star Wars saga is much more... realistic (if we are taking about SW universe) and makes old trilogy fights worth of their characters (personaly, iam much more impressed by old trilogy then this... dramaless :P prequels ) Thanks 4 this ;)
you know what everyone has wrong,, eveyr1 thinks that vader says..."luke" im am your father, but in reality he never says luke he just says i am your father...
Once again, speeding up the blade lockings detracts from the intensity. Everything you have here is good, but when they lock blades, it should be normal speed.
at first didnt they design the fights to be a kinda mix between fencing and samurai fights? or was it just samurai?? idk i dont remember its along those lines from the looks of it.
@nobunaga1231 You're quite correct, I see you've studied some sword handling. Sword fighting in original trilogy is called Djem So-form or Form V in star wars universe, which is mixture of real classic fencing and Kendo. It was created by stunt coordinator Peter Diamond.
I agree. Seriously. Let it be officially said by me that I'm not happy with these sped up duels and plan to re-do them withought the obvious signs of fast forwarding. Are they even worth re-doing is the question.
they are worth it i think they were kinda slow in the last umm first.....4-6 actually all the movies seemed to under power jedis compared to what the force was in the EU and clone wars
the reason they were supposed to be slow is that luke had minimal training at this point and vader was a shell of his former self. in later novels luke is depicted as being eve faster than the prequels in some instances
Legacy of the force novels, especially. Luke, even in his sixties was more than a match to any aspiring Sith or darksider. Best example could be Darth Caedus and Luke having a showdown on board Anakin Solo, which was quite...brutal.
That was really superb... I could barely "notice" the speed ups, but... wow, yes I can tell! Great stuff though--it really brings up the drama a notch...
i want this song but i cant finded can you tell me and i love this episode

Darth Vader and Anakin are not the same person, that's how poorly written the prequels were. Any plotholes? 100% blame goes towards them.
