Most fans of the franchise dream of having a duel as intense as theStar Warsmoviesmake them out to be. Not every fan envisions that duel happening on their wedding night, though, but one couple made that very thought a reality.
A video shared byvidsthatgohardshowed a newlywed couple, still at their wedding reception, battling each other in a choreographed lightsaber duel.
As the video proves, the newlywed couple’s lightsaber duel was a hit for everyone involved. The crowd seemed to love it, as their cheers could be heard throughout the video, even over the “Duel of the Fates” theme fromStar Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menaceplaying in the background. The couple, too, seemed to have a great time, which could be seen quite clearly in the groom’s beaming smile. Even those who weren’t at the wedding loved the video, as it has already garnered over 1.7 million views and over 30,000 likes.
Now THIS Is A Lightsaber Duel
One of the most amazing parts of the video is the fact that the newlyweds had an extremely cool lightsaber battle.Throughout their duel, both the husband with his green blade and the wife with her red blade had some impressive moves, spins, and attacks. The bride’s moves were particularly impressive, given she was still in her wedding gown. On top of the couple’s choreography, the lightsaber duel was made even cooler by the special effects. After a few of their blows, sparks flew off their blades, which only added to the intensity of the moment.
The lightsaber battle was really impressive in its own right, and it highlights an important part of the franchise: the people who love Star Wars love it deeply.
The couple’s lightsaber duel was so good that it was even reminiscent of some ofStar Wars' best lightsaber battles.They clearly took inspiration from the prequel trilogy in their choreography: the way they spun their blades between blows looked exactly like something Anakin Skywalker might have done during a fight against Count Dooku. They also mastered the quick flurries of blows that were a staple throughout the prequel trilogy, which made their fight even more intense. If the wedding decor had been swapped out for lava rivers, the couple would have fit in perfectly withStar Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.
Who The Best Lightsaber Duelist Was In Every Star Wars Trilogy
Lightsaber dueling has been a centerpiece of Star Wars since its inception, yet each trilogy has a duelist who stands out among the rest.
The lightsaber battle was really impressive in its own right, and it highlights an important part of the franchise:the people who loveStar Warslove it deeply. This couple in particular love the franchise enough to have included it as part of the schedule for their wedding night. Even fans who don’t have choreographed lightsaber duels at their wedding reception, though, still carry a deep love for the galaxy far, far away. Their love forStar Warsjust doesn’t always present itself in as stunning fashion as a lightsaber duel in wedding attire.
