Hey, for those interested, there's a pretty sweet video clip on myspace and youtube called Art of the Saber. It's a fanfic short with two brothers having a light-saber dual like a Hong Kong action-movie. The music is from Black Hawk Down and there's a monologue taken from a famous letter written during the American Civil War.
I've gone and forgotten how to make a link with HTML, but the URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IABxLzfRwWI -----------------------

"I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking, 'Did he fire six shots, or only five?' Well to tell you the truth, I've forgotten myself in all this excitement. But being this is a .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and will blow your head clean off, you need to ask youself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya? Punk!"

Ryan vs. Dorkman is a better video in my opinion, but it's made by the same people. Just search for it on YouTube. -----------------------

The music had a more feudal Japan aura about it than Star Wars. However, the bold transition into a Star Wars battle was quite effective in my opinion. That with the colorful display of flashing sabers was quite a good spectacle, I'd definitley like to see this turned into a movie. Without the regular Star Wars esque drama and the focus point on the feud between these two guys I could see some potential. Potential that could not make it to Hollywood, but could become well known on the internet nonetheless...
It kinda had a little Matrix in it as well with the black glasses and the emphasis on each acrobatic feat by slo mo. However, I guess it had a little bit of every great action movie incorporated into the scene.
Thumbs up here. Thanks for posting it, Chipmunk.
