That’s pretty sick. They should do the whole film with light sabre’s.

That’s fantastic. I want more.

I like it but it’d be better if everyone had a saber, but I know how hard it is to do all of that.

“What if George Lucas made 300…” HAHAHA you almost made me wet myself. He WISHES he could make a film like 300. He nuked the fridge with that whole prequel trilogy thing.

cool except there would be no blood because lightabers cauterize the wound instantly

300 was terrrible.

Reminds me of the fake Attack of the Clones preview back in the day. They actually took the massive charge scene from Braveheart and added in a plethora of lightsabers. It was fantastic.
Anyway, the first video is good, but I wonder if the lightsaber sound effects should have been slowed down to match the speed of the action.

you don’t deserve to be a man if you dislike 300. it is the definition of ass kicking entertainment

300 ruled \m/
Did you guys ever see the King Kong outtakes reel when Jack Black had a lightsaber put into his hands during the insect scene?
:D

Hey brian, “cool except there would be no blood because lightabers cauterize the wound instantly”. I remember explaining this to my brother as we watched A New Hope, and then Obi Wan cut that dudes arm off in the Cantina and I felt like a dweeb. Remember the arm on the floor covered in blood? Anyway as a rule I try not to get into the minutiae of genre stuff. Even though you’re right about that in the revisionist prequels the lightsabers do cauterize the wounds they inflict. God this is geeky too.

@Brian - lol, I was thinking the same thing about the blood spurts.
The video is pretty cool.

The scenes look cooler without the lightsaber.
