I had thought about that before as a combat tactic with lightsabers, why they didn’t turn it off and on to allow blows to pass by, etc. Could make for some cool fight scenes.
But why would they be randomly swinging sabers where they attacker would stumble or lose balance. In a fight between masters each swing would hit you if not dealt with.
As much as I love the idea of it, and would welcome it for the cool visuals. The one thing I think EVERYONE always forgets about Force User fights. “Why wouldn’t they just -insert tactic- and win everytime?!”
Bro, all Force Users can see like 1-2 seconds into the future pretty much. It’s why any time something weird happens and people are like “THATS DUMB!”
One Space Wizards. Two Space Wizards who can see some of the future. It’s 12D Chess up in here with them.
It is a lighsaber style it’s called [Tràkata](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Tr%C3%A0kata). It was considered that you were weak if you had to resort to it by both the sith and the jedi, but the ones who used it viewed it a cunning/tactical move.
Edit: I mean in all fairness, if you knew someone was stronger that you why not trick them into a hard swing and a miss as opposed to taking the hit.
Humour and fun aside (bah, humbug!), lightsaber combat isn’t supposed to be sword vs sword, except lasers. It’s pre-cog vs pre-cog. Y’know, the whole deflecting plasma bolts and all that which is seemingly second nature to Jedi.
It’s rare for a non-force user to wield the weapon because it’s so dangerous and unforgiving of even the slightest error.
I’ve heard a lot of the terrible choreography with the prequels was because they accidentally kept hitting each other. So instead we got [this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0mUVY9fLlw)
The last lines delivery was amazing. The cut. The build up, the entire skit was set up for that very hyperbolic meta-character mannerism of absurdist humor.
Anakin, I think we are in a great deal of trouble.
Good balance on the dry awkward humor also during the scenes leading up.
Where they at? Where the “we’ll actually, it was a tactic before the jedi and sith ruled it as disgraceful, so most didn’t utilize it, except for this with and this jedi”

Why did Yoda die??
To my knowledge, this kind of technique is known but is actually looked down upon by both Sith and Jedi. Anyway, this was pretty funny. 🙂
LMAO that is precious!
Just throwing it out there, in the cannon prior to Disney, it was addressed why this idea doesn’t actually work.

Imagine once the Jedi discover guns.
Am I the only one who fully doesn’t get this? Has the start been cut too late and am I missing context everyone else has? 🤓
Wait. This is too fluid to be normal animation. Is this like some sort of performance capture that’s then roto’d to animation?

i am crying
Haha. Why does Anakin look like Dean Venture?
Ahsoka has lighsaber-off evasion sequences similar to this in her fighting style.
He just killed the strongest, he IS the trouble
For all those situations when they are trying to attack your sword instead of you.
So no one is gonna talk about yoda’s scream amd splat?
I’m not getting it… why does yoda die here?

This voice acting is on point. Fucking dying over here

this exists, its called Trakata
Anakin sounds like the Good Doctor lol
Anakin’s voice actor is on point though.
Could I be the only one who hates this art style?

Glorious. Bravo.
Too bad they can’t turn Yoda back on again…
Jedi don’t do it because its considered a dishonourable way to fight.
Sith don’t do it because its considered a pathetic way to fight.
They never did it beyond the prequels and originals because the writers didnt really consider much at all for the sequel trilogy.
Where they at? Where the “we’ll actually, it was a tactic before the jedi and sith ruled it as disgraceful, so most didn’t utilize it, except for this with and this jedi”
I’ve become what I hate
Aaactually this is known, but vorbitten, because OP
it is not the jedi way
That lightsaber style is called trakata
