When blue man has his face held up against their lightsabers, with his pinned underneath the other guy's in sort of a + shape, there's no way he could have escaped with the move he used without sending his hand straight through the yellow, err, blade...
The lightsabers seem to effortlessly slice right through most everything, but around 2:50 one guy's lightsaber gets forcefully slammed into the ground and it smacks off of it as if it were a baseball bat.... Or a sword.
Twice when black man gets his lightsaber knocked out of his hand, it immediately shuts itself off (as it's supposed to)... But at 5:38, when blue man whacks black man's saber so hard that it flips out of his hand for a second, it stayed on 100%...
Vivid and compelling? Maybe... But these guys are the Obama of homebrew Star Wars clips...

Wow... that is the most nitpicky review of a homemade lightsaber battle I've ever read, especially since it is by far the best homemade lightaber battle out there (at least on YouTube). Did you seriously point out faults citing specific minutes and seconds and complain about minor inconsistencies?? Those two told a real story (and the hesitation was to show gloating, animosity and pleasure in the kill) with no words said, which is more than can said for about 99% of all lightsaber battle homebrews out there. Aslo, unlike most lightsaber battles, even in the films, they showed ingenuitive integration of the force.
And please don't say the one with the two asian guys in the woods dressed like the Matrix is better, because the only thing that battle has in common with Star Wars is the special effects... thats it. Other than lightsabers that thing is pure kung-fu movie.
