That was a bad directorial choice.<BR/><BR/>As for the brief exchange where Brandon Flyte is unarmed: I think they could have improved that bit by adding some telekinetic tricks, much as they did in the previous duel. No such Force trickery occurs in this fight, which is a shame. The moment of the beheading itself, though, is pretty well done, and very much in the George Lucas tradition: vivid but not gory. Almost tasteful, to the extent that beheadings can be tasteful.<BR/><BR/><BR/>KevinKevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-1148637393979908532006-05-26T18:56:00.000+09:002006-05-26T18:56:00.000+09:00I agree that the first one was better. The stabbin...I agree that the first one was better. The stabbing motion you mentioned was indeed ridiculous. You can't stab with a double-saber! There's just no way to put any power into it without slicing your own arm off.<BR/><BR/>The finish was neater, perhaps, but the slow motion really ruined it for me. With the film slowed down, the inadequacies became even more obvious.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and there's no way that an unarmed fighter would stand a chance against an armed fighter of comparable skill. That was just too much.<BR/><BR/>All that aside, it's still cool to see people fighting with lightsabers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
