SWIG files this sweet Epsiode III report after catching a little something on TV:
I was just watching Fox Sports Net's "Best Damn Sports Show Period" on TV, and Samuel L. Jackson was on talking about Star Wars. He said that it takes a lot of athleticism to play a Jedi Knight. He also mentioned that it took three days for him to learn a 88 move lightsaber duel.
(minor spoilers!) He also mentioned that he was the one being attacked in the duel though he didn't say by who. He also mentioned that the fight area covered about 400 yards and that he jumps off steps and various other things.
I thought you'd be interested, I know I was.
UPDATE Coop sends us this update as well:
Beleive it or not, Sam Jackson was on 'Best Damn Sports Show!' tonight. Forgive me for actually watching this television program.
He spoke of filming Episode 3. He said how difficult it was to learn 90+ sword moves. He said he had to learn 30 moves per day during 3 days of filming. Jackson went on to say how difficult it was to learn being in a scene being "backed up and on defense the whole time" or something like that.
Sounds like someone slaughters the heck out of Mace. Anakin/Vader anyone? Wow!
