[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] And cute. :( [b]AndrewR:[/b] Yes it's worthwhile downloading the comments. There's lots of interesting dialogue about backstory, character creation process and motivations behind certain decisions in the production. Assaj Ventress is not Kaminoan, she's definitely humanoid, but with pale skin. The eyes in the cartoon were oversized, for dramatic effect. [IMG]http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/205/Ventress.jpg[/IMG] Her saber duel with Dooku looked stiff and unnatural, but the duel with Anakin was marvelous, they really picked up some experience over time, as they worked on "Clone Wars". Nice avatar chart there, Andrew. Strange that Barriss Offee isn't there, she's like the prettiest jedi ever. [IMG]http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/205/Bariss.jpg[/IMG] It was cool that they retained the synchronization of Offee and her mentor's fighting style, it worked well. It was mentioned in the AOTC Visual Dictionary. About multiple saber techniques, we have yet to see a Jedi who specializes in the form. I actually talked to a female Kendo practitioner about this. She said that one could indeed go into Kendo tournaments with two swords; a standard size and one smaller, like the Wakizashi. But nobody who's tried the form in competition has ever made it to the top, not even bronze, she said. It's mostly hotshots who try it, apparently. Miyamoto Musashi could do it, I believe he even favored two fullsize Katanas (good if you need to take a hostage to get out of a pinch, he's to have said), but Musashi was a sword god, or so the tales go. The tradeoff in strength and maneuverability, especially when recovering the sword to guard position after a slash, is often so big (unless you train with special weights to strengthen and increase hand/wrist response) that the opponent with [i]both[/i] hands on his hilt will smash your guard open and give your ribs a faretheewell. I don't think Anakin could take Grievous, more likely Windu will take him (or take him with him, is my guess). Even in "Jedi Academy" multiplayer games the ones on top are usually single saber wielders or saber-staff wielders. [/QB][/QUOTE]
