.... the Mustafar fight in Revenge of the Sith.

Ewan McGregor said they knew they had to do this epic Lightsaber fight at the end and those two spent like 3-4 months practicing together for that scene.

black sails remains the most underappreciated show of all time. i love how much care was put in the swordfights, like how u can still see remnants of navy training in flint's style etc

I love the sword fight in Rob Roy because they both get exhausted.

I don't care how accurate it is, but the Witcher fight in the first ep was pretty hot. That character died way too soon.

...wait, the clip didn't even show that part.

Comment cousins! hah. Geralts fight with Renfri was the highlight, he should've shown it imo

Seriously. The vid totally lost me after that tbh. Cause that was the superior fight in the entire sequence and there was much more actual sword fighting compared to the curb stomping in the beginning, cause the guy kept going on about how Henry was holding the sword inverted (cause obv he didn't go into the fight with the intent on fighting - those guys basically just threw their faces at his blade).

/has a lot of feelings about that scene and Geralt and Renfri
