About this creation
There is a lot to love about the original Star Wars trilogy. For some people it it is the cool vehicles, for others the timeless story, for me, it was always about the disclosure moments in the epic lightsaber duels. Here is my take on the final duel between Vader and Luke in Return of the Jedi.

Spiffy !!! Great lines on that characters and the LS are brilliant.
Thanks. This is still one of my favourite creations too. I really like the way I managed to get the characters into such a small amount of pieces, I'm glad you enjoyed it too. |

That is something else. It manages to look both simple and difficult to create. Pretty awesome.
Might be my favourite build of mine. The cleverest part is Luke's angled ankle - anyone want to take a guess how I made that part? |

Superb, David. I think this may be my favorite work by you yet. Could it just be because there's a place in my heart for lightsaber duels? Maybe. I think you captured the essence of the two adversaries perfectly. In their duels, Luke was always the active one and Vader normally just stood there stiffly. The pose that you put Luke in is very dynamic. Your recent studies in this sort of build has been fun to watch and I think, as far as representing poses without hinges, this is your best work yet. Great work, sir.
Thanks Tim, this was one I really thought you'd like. I'll be interested to see what you think of my Batman MOC in this style when I post it.

Brilliant sense of motion for the two-dimensional format. Great work!
I wanted to capture Vader's shadow, that's when he seems his most intimidating. I loved the way Luke leaps about and Vader just slashes and floats. |

I love this! You definitely do best with this style of build.
I think I've worked out, I approach LEGO as I do when I draw or paint, working out compositions and component arrangements. Whilst I love model making, and Classic Space in particular, this is where my niche in the LEGO community lies. |

Very cool! Always loved this scene, but I think the best one to be the fight at the end of The Empire Strikes Back.
I think Empire had more emotional charge, whereas Jedi wins on choreography. |

I agree with Joe, Luke's pose is really quite wonderful. Love the colors, as always, and the perfect shaping. You have yet again impressed me with your skills. Lovely work :)
I think the colours shine when you strip the detail back. Colour is the most important part of my paintings, and something I want to explore in lego more. |

"Impressive". Fantastic work DAS. As a martial artist (hence my name) I really appreciate Luke's stance
I always loved the way in the original trilogy Vader and Luke had such different styles of sabre fighting. Vader's knight in armour slashing seemed lost later on. That's partly what I wanted to capture. |

In building terms it is pretty easy to make. Grab the photo and drop the shadows and you will have template right there. Might dabbling with a bit of Doctor Who soon :) |
