Also known as the Hayden Manoeuvre. From what I have heard in other videos, Hayden saw a stuntman doing it, so he decided to learn it, and now it is Anakin's signature move.

[ricknd]

he's by far the most satisfying duelist to watch

[thalmoragent]

It's crazy to think too, that he technically learned and perfected this technique after seeing another actor doing it on set during the AotC filming.

Of course that’s his signature move, spinning is a good trick after all!

I am a sword fighter, the funny thing is that most people consider twirling useless in a sword fight but there is a hidden utility behind it. Twirling a sword allows you to change your stance and your tactics while remaining in motions as well as making it hard for your opponents to predict your next move. The only thing is it presents a risk because if you twirl for too long, then you may leave yourself open.

Including the mustafar defeat scene is hilarious lmao

Hayden did the mocap for the Revenge of the Sith Video Game and insisted that his moves were in there. he is very invested in this sort of thing. I appreciate that, choreography, when done right, is also delivering story

[dallasyap]

Anakin and Obi-Wan's duel at Mustafar is still the best sword fighting duel ever

[ZeKermet]

He said it himself, spinning is a good trick



...but only if its the lightsaber. If youre the one spinning, your limbs spin away from you

[adrianstucky]

God the prequel fights absolutely destroy anything we’ve gotten since. Time to go rewatch rots

[bewolf]

1:08 That transition was priceless 😂🤣 I died.

[joshuatyler]

On the prequels, he’s actually striking in the middle of the flourish. In the newer material, it feels like the stuntman just wanted him to do it for show to get people nostalgic.

There's a quote of Nick Gillard saying Hayden is like one of the best swordsman for lack of a better term he's seen.

[PatTalisman]

I think it’s interesting to note that Obi Wan knew how to do the same move at 0:57. You can even argue (yes I know Hayden learned it from another stuntman) Anakin canonically learned it from Obi Wan, they are symmetrical in their moves.

Super underrated actor... There's no seed of doubt as to who would have suited this role more perfectly and accurately other than Hayden.

[pascalhicks]

1:17 After all those years since after being free from Darth Vader, I can now roam with is spinning trick!!!

[michaelkean]

I think it’s safe to say that Hayden is Easily the best saber duelist out of the entire Star Wars cast excluding ray parks (he’s a trained stunt coordinator not an actor)

[kaana]

Hayden is the reason Djem So is regarded as one of the coolest forms. He portrayed it so well

[ZombieNYT]

Hayden showing this generation what a REAL lightsaber fight is.

[ryanking]

I spent weeks trying to perfect the move and it's now my favorite move to use when sword fighting
