Ten best lightsaber mashups in all of Youtubedom

Gabriel Delahaye (of Gabe and Max fame, as seen on Boing Boing tv) has a post up on videogum citing ten great light saber mashups found floating around on the internet.

The Star Wars kid has gotten a lot of shit over the years, mainly because he's not a professional. He simply didn't have the training necessary to pull off that fight sequence. On the other hand, there are lots of professionals who do have the training and simply lack the means to wield it. I'm talking about people like Aragorn, Captain Jack Sparrow, and Westley. If somehow you could only put a lightsaber in these fearsome warriors hands...Ugh, blogging. What am I even talking about? Let's just be ourselves, you guys. I found a bunch of clips on YouTube where people took fight sequences from other movies and overlaid lightsabers on top of them using magic, and they are hilarious, and you're gonna love it.

Link. #1 is awesome, but I don't want to spoil it for you.

  I was expecting #1 to be Star Wars done up with lightsabers. Somehow.

  Nerd alert! Nerd Alert!

  So Capt. Jack Sparrow is a Sith/Dark Jedi? It’s a hard and fast Jedi rule that you don’t use a red lightsaber. Seriously.

  Related: The poster for a recent swiss film festival, and my reaction to it.

  Lighthatchets and lightspears. Love it.

  I remember a fan made teaser for Phantom Menace that used Braveheart footage with lightsabers. I’m surprised that hasn’t been done again. And as much as I like Princess Bride, why that scene instead of the first sword fight?

  There better be some Highlander/Star Wars action.

• [Boba Fett Diop]

  I’m surprised they didn’t use the actual scene that Lucas lifted from #1.

  Love one of the comments: “Inigio, I am your father!”

  #1 was lame…a bright red lightsaber in a black and white movie?

  When is someone going to do the opposite and put real swords into Star Wars?
