Prequel style

Ya pretty much ep3 Obiwan anakin style except the part where anakin gets his legs cut off cause it looked very anti climatic

Considering the original trilogy actually handled them like swords instead of flips, that. But I wouldn't mind a good mixture of both, just so long as it's not too much like some of the prequel stuff.

There is a reason this exists

i hate this gif.

it tries to make it seem that the saber twirls are just missing, but in reality they clash like a second later and they both hold it at gridlock for a sec.

Episode IV's fight was pretty weak admittedly, but Empire and Return had some great choreography that will always hold up. I don't think that lots of choreography and moving around from place to place, destroying as much shit as possible can really be considered a better fight sequence. I do think the prequel fights were good for those movies, but if they're going for a more serious sequel in TFA, then the more serious fight scenes would obviously make more sense.

I want any lightsaber battles to be badass but practical. It would be great if they would have HEMA advisors on the lightsaber combat.

Well it already has the fucking retarded melee weapons of the prequels.

Must have Cortosis (or something similar) to resist a lightsaber

Vader/Luke style from Empire Strikes Back

The OT trilogy sword fights were lame as fuck.
The prequel sword fights were over the top.

A middle ground is the best way to go.

See I always thought the prequel fights were all twirly and coreographed because that was an age when Jedi and Sith were still around to practice the art. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, there wasn't really much of a need.

Vader is a hulking robot man with brute force, Palpy has lightning, Obi Wan is an old has been and Luke just kinda does his own thing. No Jedi temple training around to teach him how to do fancy flips.

and I'm under the impression a lot of it was Obi-Wan being slow and Vader not wanting to kill his son.

realistically it was because alec guinness was old, and bob anderson was wearing a stupid outfit

But I'm talking about in-universe reasons

Of course, this is a universe where they created justification for stormtroopers with aircraft, mechs and laser guns being killed by teddy bears with rocks, but still.

There wasn't really anyone around to actually teach the twirly fighting styles either.

Is shadow the hedgehog going to make a cameo in the movie?
