Raider vs. Vader - John Williams Tribute

[DarthTratz]

Check out this video of my 501st group participating in a tribute to the music of John Williams concert with the Spokane Symphony Orchestra.

It may be the only time you see a Tusken Raider in a lightsaber duel with Darth Vader. :)

The concert footage follows the news interview.

wow, cool to see a tusken with a lightsaber... but they could have spent a little on the coreography...

We only had the afternoon before the concert to choreograph the routine since we didn't know until last minute that the conductor wanted a lightsaber duel. What made it really challenging was that we had very limited space to fight. We were between the first row of the audience and the stage, so large sweeping saber swings were out of the question since we didn't want to clobber someone in the head.

But thanks. I guess.

Yeah... Sorry if that came out kinda mean...sucks they did that to you! I think you did a damn good job given the space you had! If you had more space i can tell you two would have torn it the heck up!!

May the Force be with you!!

And i think Tusken jedi are awesome!

Darth Krayt was a Tusken, well, half Tusken... You into Legacy era?

[Barmic Rin]

Krayt was human, but raised as a tusken when he was still A'sharad Hett. Tusken/Human genetics are incompatible.
Also, cool Vid Tratz!!

No worries man. Thanks! :)

I wish we could have done more with the fight. I've had very limited sword training and I'd like to learn more for occasions like this. If we'd just had more time to prepare we could have done something much more elaborate. As it was, we put this together in about 3 hours. (plus, it's friggin' hard to see anything in that Tusken helmet, LOL!)

I've read some of the Legacy Era stuff. I'd like to get the TPBs of the comics series. What do you think of it?

[Barmic Rin]

So long as they force Cade to grow up & stop being such a whiny mumpty in this current story arc, I love it! I've just collected the comics, so no need for the TPB for me.

You should pick them up, definitely.
