Lightsaber Duel Scene Breakdown ►►

The Last Jedi lightsaber duel is an excellent example of how an action scene can be both easy to follow and emotionally connected. Lightsaber duels are one of the most iconic and exciting elements in Star Wars. The idea of laser swords has evolved from a B-movie idea to sophisticated and elaborate action scenes. And there is perhaps no better example of a great lightsaber battle than the Throne Room scene in The Last Jedi.

In this scene, Rian Johnson directs the scene with purposeful framing, camera movement and editing to keep the action legible and the character relationships in focus. With 10 people fighting in the scene, it could easily devolve into a free-for-all, producing a chaotic situation for the audience to comprehend.

To keep the action clean and legible, Rian Johnson uses a few techniques to his advantage. First, he maximizes various shots to include multiple actions, which allows him to AVOID editing and gives the audience a better chance to keep everything straight. He also uses camera movement to include both Kylo Ren and Rey in the same shot, even if they’re fighting across the room. And he also uses framing to construct the opposing sides to the fight.

These simple techniques can apply to any fight scene. By slowing down the action and less cuts, the audience has a chance to maintain visual geography of the action. And with camera movement and framing, we also keep the characters and their relationship at the forefront. Prioritizing character can help keep an action scene from coming off as gratuitous when we understand WHY we are watching it.
