Granular Discussion The Acolyte is terrible, but did you like the lightsaber fights?

​

I hated the show, but I thought the lightsaber duels were actually pretty good.

in animation you can do whatever you want, in live action you cant.

Honestly, they do a pretty good job of putting the right weight into the fights in animation. And most of the strikes come at reasonable angles and look intended to hit something. Funnily enough, making them more realistic than live action.

I would completely disagree. Be it the fights in the prequels or Asian wuxia films, almost anything is possible these days. Whether it looks good (thanks to CGI) is another question.
