Star Wars, a cult saga, has just undergone a spectacular transformation. Some creators reworked several scenes and achieved an absolutely stunning result. We’ll explain everything to you.
A group of fans have done painstaking work recreating the epic duel between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith in the animated style of The Clone Wars. The result is simply spectacular and clearly deserves the professional work that the Disney artists have done for the benefit of the series.
A crazy Star Wars project
First announced on July 20, 2020, Hello There Animation has finally completed its full recreation of the nearly seven-minute Duel for Mustafar in a nearly sixteen-minute animated short titled Clone Wars: Battle of the Heroes. This film contains dialogue, music and audio from Revenge of the Sith. Here’s what they said about releasing the project after a long development cycle:
After years of hard work and dedication, I am proud to present this reinterpretation of the iconic scene. Thank you to everyone who supported us on this journey! You have all been so patient and supportive and we couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you!”
The short was animated by Hello There Animation founder Ben Johnson, with various sound editing and music composition duties handled by Tyler Grow, Mike Pierluissi, Nicholas Pawlenko, Byron Childs, Prajwal Kandel, Rafael Castano Marin, Luke Truan, Madison Debrock and Truman were McCaw and Chris Valencia.
In addition to the duel itself, the short also contains a prologue, which consists of a fully animated excerpt of the unfinished cartoons from the “Crystal Crisis On Utapau” story arc of “The Clone Wars”, as well as an epilogue, which covers some of the events of “Revenge of the “ shows dead. Sith, which take place after Anakin’s defeat, including his transformation into Darth Vader. Just like in the movie.
The duel scene was one of the most elaborate in the Star Wars saga at the time. It required months of intensive training for actors Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker), who practiced complex fight choreography to bring the confrontation to life. Obviously the charm in the animation is still different.
