Quite possibly the best Lightsaber choreography I've ever seen. Their first one was definitely awe-inspiring, and this one...wow.

wow... just wow.
the first one was impressive but this one is just simply mind blowning. Seriously damn good stuff!

Dorkman is still my hero. And it seems ryan grew some facial hair to appear a bit older then he did in part 1.

The lesser known, Ryan vs. Brandon has a few of the new special effects in it. It also features the whole Ryan = Facial Hair thing.

I didn't like how there was no 'twist' at the end. Not as good as the first.

Ryan uses a blue lightsaber...but is surprisingly darker that Dorkman....

Admittedly the ending was a bit anticlimactic. But. It helps develop a small backstory for the third one. Ryan has in essence endless clones of himself. 4 so far from what I've seen. So now Dorkman has an old chest wound and a missing hand. $5 says he has a robotic hand in the next one.

Damn good coreography and effects. I'm still wracking my head over how they went about the lightsaber cutting through the wall, if they used a torch or something similiar.

The coreography is a bit shaky at times but still kicks major amounts of ass.

That was all done in post. The wall was never actually cut or burned.

Wow, they did a damn good job of the effects then.

Ryan looking older, that was something. Killer special effects, too.

Here's Ryan vs. Brandon, in case anyone wants to see it.

Too bad Ryan can never stay alive. Dude puts up such a good fight each time, but always dies in the end.

Man, those guys on Kamino really need to get back on track. First, their Stormtroopers fail each time, now they can't even keep a JEDI clone alive.

As you can see. He has plenty of clones in reserve. Makes you wonder if he has a facility in his basement.

And a little practice fight between clones.

It was good, but kind of a let down.

The first one was better imho.

Who are these guys in real life? I mean - are they students? Actors? Star Wars Enthusiasts? Friends of members of Seibertron?

Which sabers did they use by the way?

Ryan works for an effects company and Dorkman is just a small time film maker.

And what do you mean by what sabers?

I think he means which Jedi/Sith were those sabers based off of.

The answer: None in particular.

Here's something I just noticed: If you look carefully in the second movie, Ryan looks quite a bit like a young Kyle Katarn.

Coincidence? Intentional? YOU decide!
