Haden Christensen discusses the battle of battles...Skywalker vs OBI-WAN
Dark Horizons.com

Star Wars: Episode III: LatinoReview talked with Hayden Christensen for his upcoming film "Shattered Glass" and he commented on the final prequel which he wrapped filming the other month - "It still has to reach out to a specific audience, but it will be substantially darker than the previous films. I will say, on the record, the final fight sequence in this film will, in my opinion, and not having seen any of it cut together, should surpass any fight sequence that has been put on film so far. It’s the longest, I can’t give you specifics, but it is quite the bad-assed fight scene. Nick Gilliard has done an amazing job instilling an arc of story in the fight. It justifies, because you know Anakin and Obi-Wan have it out, but Anakin is the chosen one-he is supposed to be the best. But he comes out on the shorter end of the stick in the fight. It justifies it really nicely as the fight progresses". Thanks to 'Kellvin'.

I cannot believe this at all, especially coming from the Lucas camp. I believe much the same thing was said about the end battle on Geonosis in Episode 2 and IMO the battle of Helm's Deep in LOTR:TTT was much better.
Peter Jackson said almost the same exact thing about the battles in ROTK, and considering the sources I'm more likely to believe PJ rather than Hayden Christenson.

Well, took less than 10 replies before someone brought in LOTR. Ok you guys, you know what happens next. Just go through the motions now.

It's not like he is going to say.
"This film may very well suck more than the previous two and wait until you see the very anti-climatic battle with Anakin and Obi-Wan. Boy, did it suck when we filmed that one! Boo-Yah, Star War Geeks!"

This thread is like a bunch of kids fighting on the playground. Come on guys.
I'm sure to end the film they will go all out. Shame it takes so much to impress folks these days.

I don't think wanting a decent story with average acting isn't that much to ask for.
Instead we get a two hour excuse for George to play with his computers with ATOC..
"Impressive. Most impressive."

YAWN!!!! Same old bullshit Star Wars thread gone to hell.
If you bothered to read the damn article, you'd know it didn't come from the Lucas camp. It came from Hayden Christensen. As for the fight, he didn't say it would be the best battle sequence. It was obvious he was talking about sword fights.
