Amazing STAR WARS Fan Film Reimagines A NEW HOPE's Lightsaber Duel As If It Were Made Today

Remember that tame lightsaber duel in A New Hope between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader? Well, this live-action video (with expert VFX) reimagines that to great effect as the two go to war in epic style.

The original Star Wars movies have aged well but some of the action scenes definitely feel a little dated. The best example of that is Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader's lightsaber battle in A New Hope, especially as it's all rather tame compared to what we've seen in both the prequels and current trilogy. 

Well, a group creators at FXitinPost have attempted to remedy that with a very impressive fan-made effort which adds a lot more energy to the battle and makes it more like how you might imagine a fight between these friends turned foes would play out. This is only a teaser and the whole thing will be released next year but it looks incredible and this is a change to the trilogy it'd be great to see.

Chances are it won't ever happen (unless Disney remakes the original movies and that's unlikely) but we could see Obi-Wan use his lightsaber like this in that long rumoured spinoff starring Ewan McGregor. What do you guys think of this video? As always, let us know your thoughts below.
