Very equal to prequel trilogy lightsaber battles and in a workshop for close quarters.

that really is impressive. I wonder how many times they smashed fingers rehearsing? :D

3:35 - 4:07 was about the only part of the actual fight i enjoyed. the rest suffered the same problem as the movie fights...it didn't look like a fight. it looked like a chance to show off fancy effects and neat choreography.

made by two indie special effects guys with off the shelf software. The poor acting and choreography aside doing that on your own without the benefit of a large budget and a special effects company is VERY impressive.

but who's gonna pay for that lathe?

Very much like the prequels saber fights, thats why the climatic battle between Vader & Luke in Empire (and to Jedi to a certain degree) will always be better because that was elevated above 2 stationary guys throwing handbags at each other in front of a green screen. This is a pretty good effort but suffers the same lack of "weight" - and is more style over substance

Agreed. The OT lightsaber duels may not have been as flashy, but they were by FAR superior nonetheless.
