To The DEATH

We wanted to reinvent the concept of lightsabers, so we asked an expert swordsman to choreograph what a fight would look like with real sword tactics, and we took a new approach to the visual and sound design of a saber. Let us know what you think!

I like how the opponent smiled when the student finally beat him, he was actually proud.

The teacher face of disappointment when the guy start pulling spins and twists kills me 🤣

The best thing about this is not only that it shows geniunely good sword fighting technique, it also demonstrates why bad technique is bad. When the student does all the flashy stuff or opens himself up way too wide, both of which you see all the time in films and tv shows, the teacher punishes him for it exactly as he would in real life.

Two very minor unnoticeable problems
1. The saber strike that killed the master didn’t leave a mark on the clothes
2. After the master collapsed the saber is just resting on his body without cutting through

I love that part where they low-key mocked the absurdity of the spinny spin moves

[strikeforce]

I like how they use the idea of "This school trains the best fighters" thing, but instead of the cliche of all students dying until one survive, they just revive/recycle them

That was insanely sick. You just set up the lore for a whole universe in less than 5 minutes. I need more!

We've achieved the point when fan films have higher production value than big studio's

[johnhagala]

I love that they use the saber “properly”. The fact that it’s a weapon that doesn’t need a big honkin’ swing to cut a target was utilized well. Just *poke* -> *ded*

"Realistic fights are boring on screen"
I don't know man, this one was amazing to look at. The stances and the movement were great. Over exaggerated at times, but still in a realm that didn't break my immersion. Really good work guys.

I love that this is more about recovering from failure than sword fighting but does both pretty damn excellently.

Post Acolyte visitor here. I'm pretty sure only Corridor Digital now can revive Star Wars, no one else can.

"you need two things to win a swordfight: perfect distance, and a gun."

[eyeballplanets]

I absolutely Adore how this synthesized the thoughtful, kendo-style choreography from the early movies with the style and flair of later entries. This was really well directed and choreographed, I'd love to see work like this in a feature film!

[SHADOWofJUSTiCE]

you need two things...
1- perfect distance at the correct time
2- a sword

[Me-wxmt]

that part where the lightsaber is a flame and then he adjusts it is just so cool

[Wynnie]

I personally adore the part at the end where the teacher is genuinely proud of his student for winning. It's a really amazing touch.

I wish we could have this as a show. I know it's just a short project, but I would love to watch a show like this Where the combat is actually realistic

[benrussell-gough]

"Want to join...?" That's a good question to end on because it's a challenge, not just to the character but also to the viewer.

You know it’s a good day when Corridor posts a video…
