The lightsaber duel between Obi Wan and Darth Vader in Star Wars is, by the standards of the later movies, pretty damn tame. The reasons for this are obvious: it was a small movie, not overloaded with martial arts training and certiainly no CGI, and Alec Guiness was certainly no spring chicken at the time. But it does stand out.

And so, leave it to talented fans to correct that. The below short film expands upon the short, stilted fight, making it much more in line with the sort of combat seen in later movies. It would have blown my tiny little mind had this been in the original Star Wars back int he day. Watch it fast and download if possible… wouldn’t surprise me if Disney decides to shut this down because it its few short minutes it has substantially more awesome than all the sequel movies put together.
