The Force
He survived WW2
Because he only did the closeups and minor movements. The wide shots of sword fighting were a stunt double. He did do a lot of sword fighting in movies during his career, he estimated it might be more than anyone had, but he was still eighty here and couldn't move like he used to even if he wasn't in poor health.
that's not true
they literally bungee corded a yoga puppet to him and when he woke up from his nap they told him it was a german ambush and he started back flipping around trying to stab it
Lost
How was Obi Wan able to walk after this?
>useless Super Battle Droids
>that platform clipping through Obi-Wan
It's just third worst action scene in RotS so it's not that bad
Was Dooku the first to use Force kick?
It's a good trick
Back in the day I learned through Dooku that taunting your opponents during a fight is unironically a force technique called Dun Moch and he was apparently quite good at it.
you've cat to be kitten me
Disney did Star Wars a favor by killing off EU, Jesus Christ. If only they didn't fill it with the even worse garbage.
fricking BRAVO Lucas
This is EU stuff, not Lucas. The "canon" page for Dun Moch is super lame though.
The nucanon acknowledges so much of the old, it may as well all be canon.
Except the nucanon treats everything like a stan lee cameo, "member this?"
All canon pages are.
I was flabbergasted by this scene. My jaw actually dropped. I thought I not only just saw Obi break his spine but get double amputated and was awe struck. Like Lucas, wtf are you doing?! I looked around and saw a couple other people incredulous but others just still watching. I was so fricking confused when it just kept playing like normal, nothing came of it and later Obi was fine.
It barely even makes contact with his body if you look again, moron. It simply trapped him there.
I'm not talking about not doofus. This was like 20 years ago when the damn movies premiered. No one had the ability to pause it and rewatch it intricately with a magnifying glass. It happened on screen fast and moved on. And it was and is still stupid as frick.
It was obvious as frick even back then
>It barely even makes contact with his body
It fricking clips through him.
It didn't crush him because it couldn't in the first place. It simply kept him pinned.
Same, looked like he was crushed
He can’t. Anakin slings him over his shoulders and Carrie’s him around for a bit.
That's being unconscious, not having your lower half crushed and severed.
Carrie Fisher was there?
During the beginning part of this scene as he's strolling up the stairs, it's pretty apparent that they added the droids in to match his attacks, rather than him having any marks he had to hit. The lightsaber is lazily composited to get in the way of the blaster shots without him moving his arms and the droid just falls into his lightsaber.
when doku had Obiwan in his force grip at 11 seconds in, why the FRICK didn't he just hit him with his fricking sword?
Because it's a stupid movie
I like how if you pause at any time the CGI makes the faces look like subhuman monsters
b-but the movies are masterpieces of George's vision, we're too mid to understand them
If you look closely you can see that Obi Wan is made of rubber until just before he hits the deck.
>:06
Why does Obi Wan suck so much against Dooku?
he took care of his body really well
haha thank you, anonkun!! :3
wtf, christian leah moves like that?!
Even the 16-year-old me groaned at that completely pointless flip
Why do Sith always try to make people fall to the darkside during duels, when it would make their opponents more powerful
Either they're trying to gain their opponent as an apprentice or they know that tapping into the dark side without previous experience doing so is distracting and will cause them to use sloppy techniques.
people search for strength when they're fighting and they become more desperate for power the more taxing the fight becomes. fighting is also a very emotional act, opening you up to rage, anger, spite, etc. there's no better time to attempt to seduce a person to the dark side than during a duel
He consumed the blood of Saxon men(female).
he does sit ups and push ups, and drinks plenty of juice
he was a swordsman for decades so it was standard procedure
Stunt double. He even said he was too old to that stuff anymore
He said it in a cooler way. "My hands can still do it but my legs can't"
While he was too old to do the majority of the sword fighting, he at least knew his way around a sword and looks confident and poised in all his close ups and bits and pieces. I can't say the same for Ian McDiarmid, who as another anon hilariously put it, has all the grace of your grandpa trying to get a spider off the ceiling with a broom.
Dooku's best sword work was unironically shots that featured Christopher Lee himself.
The stunt double was doing all kinds of crazy shit but it didn't look as professional or with personality.
I dunno how you can say they when you're literally posting a webm of him doing flips. are you moronic?
character wasn't necessarily the actor's age and he used the force. seem reason why Yoda was doing flips when he barely walks otherwise.
if you're asking about the actor's movement then the answer should be obvious.
dicky blood
>George, why are we filming my scenes first?
because its fricking christopher fricking lee
they cgi’d his face onto the double. lee said so himself in this video
Im more impressed by how they made Alec Guinness look like some Scottish dude
PT > OT
Unrelated but has anyone played Knights of the Old Republic? I saw it's cheap to DL on Switch and I see nothing but praise on the surface of search results so far. Is it good?
No one has ever played it, ever.
Literally zero people.
it's aged like shit
play any other game
>Unrelated but has anyone played Knights of the Old Republic?
I thought it was ok at first but completely lost interest when I got to a city and it branched out with shopping and side quests. The interface and design is archaic. It's not really timeless like other old games such as the Thief series.
Thief aged like shit, are you moronic? It has terrible controls for one.
Play it on PC, I can only imagine it's painful with joysticks.
But yes, it's very fun.
Classic thespians like Christopher Lee took their craft very seriously.
It's overrated as shit but it's decent enough for a D20 Dungeons and Dragons type game set in the Star Wars universe. Has some good characters and the gameplay is alright, I personally hate what it did to that era, turned it into prequel generic shit (granted that era before hand had little media but it was more exotic and esoteric before KotOR).
Kino actor and character, I wish they did more with him.
Problem is that the character's fake motivations make more sense than his real ones which are just to be a patsy in Sheev's game of chess against himself.
I grabbed this gif on Stile Project Forums before Episode 3 came out. In the film this shot cuts before all 3 cross sabres. Does anyone know the source of this gif?
