Like most people my age, I have extremely fond memories of the original Star Wars Trilogy. I will admit, however, that certain aspects of it, such as a vast majority of the light sabre battles were a little disappointing from a choreography point of view (at least by today's standards>
An amazing group of people calling themselves "FXitinPost" redid the famous battle between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader and call this 6minute plus display "Scene 38 ReImagined."
Considering that they don't have a massive budget it is truly remarkable what they have done here. I mean this looks absolutely brilliant and although they have not revealed how much money they spent it still looks very polished. There are a few scenes such as the editing of Alec Guinness' face onto Obi's body that could use some improvement, but I'm not going to criticize that too much since I can't even begin to imagine how difficult that is.
I think that this scene is the perfect balance of classic Star Wars and today's expectations of action films. This is the reason why everyone really loved the final scene in Rogue One and is a big part of the reason why I feel Rogue One is one of the better ones in the entire series of films (that and the fact that most of the films release before and after Rogue One were pretty crap - not including original masterpieces of course.)
The later films, especially EP 1,2,3 went too far with the swordplay and CGI and even though it was visually appealing I think the stark contrast between them and the original trilogy actually made it seem kind of dumb. This "re-imagining" of the great story, but sometimes rather "ho hum" action of the original trilogy is amazing to an old-school fanboi like me. I hope you enjoy it as well.
