me, sitting on a throne barechested but wearing ornately engraved plate armor on my arms and legs and cloaked in fine almost translucent silks with an enormous snake draped over my shoulders: i got lost in the fantasy of this dope outfit and forgot what kinda post i was gonna make
between Liam actually knowing what he was doing and Ewan not being able to stop himself from making lightsaber noises it’s a wonder the Phantom Menace got made at all
Liam Neeson apparently was a danger on set because the jedi have like four basic moves but he was trained for swordfighting for Rob Roy so he would wave his plastic sword in new and interesting ways that would not be choreographed but were traditional actual ways to fight with a sword
As for the turning off the lightsaber thing, it is actually an in-universe technique called Tràkata. It’s just really difficult to master and suffers from the problem that you’ve got to turn the blade back on before the other guy cuts off your head.
With the PT Jedi being as risk-averse as they are, it should be little surprise that basically nobody uses it except one guy in the EU.
I definitely misread this the whole time because I’ve been assuming you were using the force to turn your opponent’s saber off. huh.
