PT Why Do Anakin and Obi-Wan do that spin move in ROTS?

There's 2 theories. The Visual Dictionary says it's because they can predict each other so well that it's a way to create unpredictability.

But if that's the case, wouldn't they predict that spin move? Therefore, why wouldn't one of them predict that and then counter it right away?

The other theory is because they can't find holes in the defense, so they're creating momentum for a heavy attack to break a defense but both of them attack one another with the same momentum, cancelling each other out.

The latter is more credible but the ROTS VD states otherwise.

Anyone else know why?

This isn't a "I LIKE THAT. I HATE THIS" type thread. It happened so what's the best explanation for it.

 

Your answer is in your post you PT basher.

 

Which one?

And no derailment. Everyone knows the PT sucks.

 

I don't think the VD has it exactly right. It seems pretty obvious that they're both trying to set up attacks only to instantly have to readjust, because the other one keeps anticipating that attack and setting up a preemptive defense.

Well, obviously. I think that's one thing all of us on this forum can agree on.

 

Theory no. 3:

Spoiler: epilepsy warning

Goat edit: probably should put that in spoiler tags

 

Because it's a good trick

 

Jedi Rave Party MAKES too much sense. This is SW, not Star Trek. Less logic, please.

 

Thread derailed so hard, that if we can't get shield generator fixed, we'll be like sitting ducks.

 

I've always seen it as boastful posturing. In the Episode I duel with Maul Obi-Wan is briefly seen giving his saber a cocky, arrogant, and entirely needless twirl. Anakin does something similar when the droids have the Jedi surrounded in AOTC, exhibiting a cocky little moment of youthful dissent in the face of possible death. The Battle of the Heroes is even more personal. Anakin is exhibiting his youthful superiority as well as the very recklessness Obi-Wan has chided him about in the past. Obi-Wan is matching him blow for blow, channeling his own youthful self and the last time he took down a Sith.

 

LOL DUDE I'M NOT EVEN JOKING, I JUST HAD A SEIZURE

(Disclaimer: I am 100% sure it's unrelated to the gif lol)


Aaaanyways. Yeah, thread has officially derailed, I can't believe how much PT bashing I'm seeing. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Especially Deliveranze, permabanned forever for this travesty! And, eh, I'm too lazy to lock this atm come to think of it. I LEAVE THIS THREAD'S FATE IN THE HANDS OF HEELS

 

*Ric Olie stands up*

"I'm not a duck!"

 

Abuse of power.

I call for a vote of no confidence in Heels' modship!

 

GEORGE LUCAS: If you go back and look at the first script, you see it was all originally one big movie about a duck named Ric Olie.

 

What's a duck?

 

Second thread I make in 2 years and this is how yall repay me.


ezekiel22x that's an interesting theory. I actually like that one too. Also even if they did predict, they both did it at the same time, and it would be still hard to predict the next attack. Almost like it's a race.

 

See, GL was planning originally in 2019 to release a SE for all the PT movies, and he was going to realize his original vision to have Ric Olie take the form of a duck with groundbreaking new CGI technology. But it was not to be

 

I don't know, but we shouldn't be too harsh on him. If you think about it, Ric Olie was the man who taught Darth Vader how to fly a starship. Dude's a legend.

 

Report the mods first.

 

LOL just doing my part to make the PT section a place of love and fun for all.

EDIT: PLEASE don't lock yet. This thread is too fun.

 

Love? Fun? What, do you think this is Star Wars or something?
