This things appears in SO many film and television swordfights and I HATE IT

Star wars has plenty good static binds and there's also an explanation for it and it's the pull that lightsaber have towards eatchother and it takes lots of focus and strength to break it like anakin sliding down dookus lightsaber to cut his hands off
I’m afraid that as is so often the case, you neglect the needs of cinematography, in this case the need to express the balance of power between the combatants, their emotional investment and the nature of a sword fight as a ‘conversation’.
Experts, even semi-professionals can see what the average person cannot, so they do not need these visual queues and often become annoyed by them. But for everyone else, they need something – just as grenades explode as if they’re loaded with gasoline.
Also, as ever, criticisms of Star Wars should not be taken as appropriate. Saber Lock is an established element of canon.
One of my pet peeves is when they try to do an surprise attack but they shout it out loud, or when they shout the name of the techniques they are using. That’s the same as telegraphing but it is 10x more stupid
I’ve always did wonder because I tried it in real life and I got hit in the face with my wooden sword by my friends it doesn’t work. Glad it was wood and not a real sword or in ancient time 😅 I’d been dead
Bah…Stop trying to ruin the static bind. What would sword fighting be without it. Next you’re going to tell us that the mid fight reverse grip is nonsense. Just stop. lol.
In my head Canon lightsaber blades are acting like strong magnets when you press them into each other. They don't really touch,… There is a strange phenomenon that pull themselves to each other but also isolate tgr blades from each other.
the Obi Wan vs Anakin Fight has active binding instead of passive bind looks pretty fluid to (honestly they put so much into that fight its very underrated)
TBH the static bind makes more sense with lightsabers since fighting with them is as much martial than it is mental/with the force… shouldn't necessarily be included in this video. My pet peeve is when people on youtube try to criticize HIGH FANTASY and HIGH SCI-FI with real world criteria… oh a movie has people flinging fireballs and has dragons but this armor is slightly too sturdy… 2 words: FANTASY MATERIALS… the same can be said for fights with lightsabers… cannot just apply real world criteria when there is the force
The problem with this is that when the sword interlock for example the backsides are pressed against each other and they are sharp the grip is like sand paper so it’s hard to slide them off(speaking from experience)
Lightsabers get an excuse because when they are in a static bind, the blades are actually attempting to sort of magnetize to eachother. It becomes much harder to move the blade unless you pull away.
I am now motivated to make a movie where a bad guy does the "static bind" on the hero, starts his evil monologue, and is killed mid sentence because the hero has common sense and does one of the things Shad showed in the video.
I recall a scene in RTOK where Aragorn gets caught by an orc’s weapon…looks like a stupid bind till he twists a bit and slices the rotten creature and just keeps moving. Always loved that. Subverts without intending.
It is a movie method meant to show oppositon. Most people (including me) want to see well coreographed, visually pleasing action sequences in movies with no concideration that crouching like a chicken and flailing with half assed feints would be more accurate.

You mean the Saber lock?
You gotta romantically stare into your opponent's eyes before turning them into a human-on-a-stick.
Shad starting to look super chad.
But… how else are you gonna kiss your opponent?

great video. THANK YOU
Lightsabers have a cannon reason they static bind. Cannon Jarvis said that the blades attract one another

Fat geeks talking like they know how to fight lmao
Imagine how much faster Star Wars 7 would have been if Rey was THIS competently trained

I can only imagine legendary struggles for control in a sword fight
personally, there are far worse things in play swordfights – like not wearing a helmet. or when you can tell the armor is plastic. lmao dude
❤ super ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Question for the shad. In your opinion what movie or TV show has the best sword fight scenes?
The problem with this is that when the sword interlock for example the backsides are pressed against each other and they are sharp the grip is like sand paper so it’s hard to slide them off(speaking from experience)
yes but it's cool

I get really peeved when someone draws their sword and it sounds like metal on metal.
Thank god knights had helmets or they would be wiped out
Kick em in the balls. Best sword trick!
I think they use it to have the characters throw one-liners at each other.

Always loved that. Subverts without intending.
