The force is with you, young Bearup... but you're not a Jedi yet.

2020-02-10 13:50:01 +0000 UTCI thank you :) And I'm always pleased to get my Hogwarts-Goth-esque dressing gown into videos, especially when pretending to be Kylo Ren!

2020-02-10 13:31:19 +0000 UTCI'm not sure if she's still afraid of him! (I'm thinking the fact that I'm talking over it and it's very quiet will make it ok. YouTube has not flagged the unlisted draft, so fingers crossed...) But yes, I really want to be a Jedi :D

2020-02-10 13:31:05 +0000 UTCVery insightful and entertaining. Had a good laugh with lacidasical 'slacker' stances on the deck. Otherwise, it's nice to see someone articulate in a credible way (with actual stage combat training) the excellence of the Kylo/Rey/Fin confrontation. I've found myself trying to defend that scene against the usual "Kylo should have easily won, Rey is a Mary Sue, and Fin should not have stood a moment's chance" arguments. I didn't know why it worked, only that it did work and moved me in the way I wanted to be moved in a Star Wars lightsaber confrontation. Great Job!
2020-02-10 08:32:56 +0000 UTCI never considered that stage combat, much like stage dialogue and stage blocking, is unnatural by design. I feel like this should have been obvious to me before. You do a wonderful job explaining how telling a story should take precedence over ‘realism.’
