Monday Afternoon Diversion: Deconstructing The Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace Light Saber Fight Scene

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Mar 19, 2012 8:30PM

Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace sucked when it was first released, so we have no idea why George Lucas thought releasing the film in 3D last month would be a good idea. That film and Episode Two: Attack of the Clones may also be the two films in the saga that could be improved once Lucas starts his inevitable tinkering.

Maybe Lucas can start by making the light saber battle between Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui Gon Jin and Darth Maul more realistic, as this deconstructed video of the battle shows us how G-rated it actually was.
