So that’s why things look different, and are old, this week. And Happy Almost New Year!)

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.

After the the jump, the 10 best lightsaber mash-ups.

The best part about this video is that Max got the idea immediately. Here is a transcript of our IM that day:

4:59:00PM
gabe: Check out all these lightsaber mash-ups I found.
4:59:10PM
max: Those are good, but I can’t believe no one’s done one with Boogie Nights.

Yeah, no, Max is right, it’s weird. But I know what you’re thinking, and as Max has pointed out, since his day job involves rotoscoping cocks, It’s normal for him to be thinking of new projects. You know the old saying, “rotoscoping lightsabers onto cocks is money.”
