Change My Pitch Up, Smack My Saber Up

Star_Wars_EP5_KEY_392_R_450.jpg

Our old friend, hh, the guy who brought us Wall-E: The Cannibal Years, is back with a little something for our Star Wars geeks, particularly those with a fondness for electronica.

It’s essentially all the major light-saber duels from the Star Wars movies edited together and set to some light-saberish thump thump house music. I’m not a big fan of either Star Wars or electronica music, but this is not just weirdly brilliant, but illustrates that, whether you cared for the movies or not (especially the prequels), there was some pretty freakin’ brilliant choreography in it.

I give it a nine-and-a-half: It’s got a good beat, plus it really tickles my murderin’ impulses.

As much as the latest three movies seemed to disappoint most, can I just say that Yoda did some bitchin' ass stuff with that saber?

If only the rest of eps 1-3 were as good as the lightsaber battles.

But does it beat the glory of Techno Conan or even better the Techno Viking?

That battle with Darth Maul kicked so much ass it made my girlfriend pregnant. Really! That's what she told me...

I never bothered to see the last couple of movies, but this pretty much satisfies any cravings I had for some badass saber action.

Awesome, especially when the "singing" syncs with the dialog.

YOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAA!

A combination of John William's "Duel of the Fates" and the choreography is the only reason I watch Episode I. And then there's Yoda--the boy gots moves.

I forget which one had yoda breaking out the lightsaber for the first time, but I remember going to see it in a movie theatre where it was me, my friend, and about 200 black people (we're white), and the second yoda started doing those flips, the whole theatre ERUPTED and would not stop screaming at the screen, and from that point for the rest of the movie it was like a big party in the theatre -- easily the most fun ive ever had at a movie.

An elegant weapon, from a more civilized age...

Nothing...fucking nothing...beats the Techno Viking....NOTHING!!!

That being said, other then the duel between Maul and both the little bitches, one of which shouldn't have won. The fight scene between Anakin and Obi was by far the best of any of the films, even if Anakin was a complete dumbass at the end of the fight. I have the high ground, don't do it....dumbass.

FYI out of the newest films the only outfit that Lucas designed was the leather black choke collar dominatrix outfit that Padme wears in Episode II...Lucas is a freak!

Awesome. (And I loved the Wall-E thing as well.)

Deistbrawler, man...you gotta get out of the house more.

Yoda should never have used a lightsabre. Yoda is above that shit. Yoda is motherfucking YODA. The moment he struck that Kung Fu pose, the moment he brought out his tiny little half-size training-sabre, he went from being the coolest motherfucker in the galaxy to a little green bitch.

Yoda should solve his problems with The Force. He should throw planets around, he should crush people where they stand. Yoda pulled X-Wings out of bogs before his morning coffee. He montaged Luke from sissy farm boy to Jedi without even needing the montage. He lived in a house made of shit and snakes and still decided to fuck with the first person he saw in twenty years just because he could. He should not jump around like fucking Animaniac, grunting and twirling, ever twirling, always twirling.

Lightsabres are for upstart Jedi who can't handle anything better. Yoda was NINE HUNDRED years old, he was past that shit. He was the Big Bad of Jedi School. Motherfucker could have killed a guy with his brain before the guy's mother even considered having the child who would grow up to cut him off on the stupid little flying chair thing highway.

And then, what, in Episode II we finally get to see him fight, and he pulls out a toy lightsabre and can't even beat a stunt-double with Christopher Lee's face CGI'd atop his shoulders? And he's tired after the fight? After LOSING the fight? Fuck that. Fuck the Prequels. Fuck George Lucas right in his boundless neckfat-gina.

I'm sorry, but seeing 6' 5" Christopher Lee battling a MUPPET in SPAAAAAAAAAACE, just cracked me up.

I take back my comment on the "In Space" thread about "Who doesn't want to see Muppets in Space?" Now that I've seen Yoda dueling with a light saber, I no longer want to see Muppets in Space.

While I may disagree with James, that was hilarious.

This video was great, but I'm a little worried at the direction we're taking. This was basically one step up from an anime music video. What's next? Dragonball Z set to Linkin Park?

Posted by: Snath at August 4, 2009 10:37 AM

That shit should've ended with "El Scorcho", kid brother of "Girlfriend", Snath. It was great, and nothing needs to follow it. Course that was pre-YouTube and now I can't find it anywhere!

Posted by: Jay at August 4, 2009 11:43 AM

The Ray Park (Darth Maul) and Luke Vs. Vader fights were the best. All the rest from the "prequels" used those as a template and just added more (CGI'd) bells and whistles. Nice job with the music and editing.

I love how Sam Jackson insisted on a purple lisghtsaber...It would have been great if he gave the "vengeance is mine" speech from Pulp Fiction as he cut that dude's head off though...

Oh god. If only the first three films were as awesome as that clip was.
