Hand me my lightsaber. It's the one that says "Bad Mutha."

For a fan-produced lightsaber duel, I've always been more partial to Art of the Saber, myself...

That was actually quite good.

Interesting. Develop some unsympathetic characters who spout laughable dialogue while they take turns attacking each other's weapons over and over again and it'd be just like watching something by George Lucas himself.

That was cool, but the page that is on is not work-friendly!

I have a vague memory that the two guys there are (or maybe were) well-known names in the amateur video community, specifically in regards to creating lightsaber effects using common graphics products.

Known for their CGI, rather than their stunts, which explains a lot about the strengths and weaknesses of the clip

I really liked the original clip, but that Art of the Saber thing is, well, awful.

Nice graphics, but a horribly boring fight.

I remember one which had two Sith Apprentices fighting each other for their Master. Great fight and stunning CGI effects.

That was.. well.. really pretty good. They did a good job of mixing in normal "try to jockey the opponent's saber out of position" moves with "if that'd gotten past you, you were toast" moves. The ending was weird, but I took it as "If we're going to do this, we both want to win", so no big.
