not bad, do you need some kind of special software to make the lightsabers? on most programs I've used it's nigh impossible to do that.

There's no real perfect way of doing it. Even the way the pros do it takes a long time. I have done 3 methods: 1: Export your video as a "filmstrip" and edit it in photoshop, which is very tedious, 2: Use Adobe After Effects to animate and mask a shape over the area the saber should be, 3: Using a 3D animation program such as Maya or Lightwave, track a 3d model of a saber blade over the footage and mask it where it needs to show up.

These all take lots of time. There are various tutorials out there. I used to have one but my site is down for now.

lol i can see the hand that threw the saber in the beginning

[BlackOpsBen]

Lol! What, you didn't know? All Jedi's really just have a slave kid to fetch them their saber!
