JACE HALL BATTLE

I was pretty crazy busy when this was filmed, but who can say no to abusing@JaceHall with a light saber? Check out the full episodes at http://jacehall.tv/. Really awesome start to their second season! Funny enough, I DID email Dorkman when I saw their videos on YouTube and told them anytime they wanted to film something I was game. We finally got to work together! Love the internet! :)

    that saber-fight looks more professional than those in the SW ep. IV-VI!!! and would it be heresy to say the dialogue is also better? uh, i already wrote it anyway.

    You were REALLY good, both in the lightsaber choreography and acting. Hope to see you in more stuff soon!

    Now THAT’s the way a creative genius settles a thing with another mediaHead! Way to get it done! Vanity Fair, look out! This girl has a light saber and is not afraid to use it. ;)

    Possibly the most awesome thing I watched all week. =)
    You have wicked Jedi skills!

    Uhm… this gave an idea… I might add a Guild/Star Wars mashup to the ones I’ve been doing (cause I’m bored):

    I failed at the Guild/SW mashup… I need more photoshop skills to pull this off.
    Will keep trying though… =P

    Enjoying the ones you did, especially Lost. They look good to me, anyway! Keep it up.

    There’s a Lost promo photoshoot from ABC featuring the cast surrounding Locke in a Last Supper homage:

    Would be great fun if you could photoshop in the Guild Avatar dinner table. And would probably be very difficult! Your fans await.

    Hubby’ll love this. And, you’re my hero.

    Just saying’

    I’ve tried my best to block the prequels out of my mind, so I don’t think there was ever a female Jedi in any of Lucas’ films. You looked awesome as one, and Jace has a new fan.

     
    February 5th 2010 @ 7:18 PM

    That right there was an epic-sandwich covered in awesome-sauce! I’m away to watch all the Jace Hall episodes in rapid succession, likely followed by my 18th Guild marathon.

    … What? You have a *better* suggestion of how I should spend my Friday night? ;-)

     
    February 5th 2010 @ 7:20 PM

    I need a pink lightsaber in my life. Loved the choreography!

     
    February 5th 2010 @ 9:40 PM

    This is really awesome fighting. But . . . on the Life stream there’s a picture of you with Neil Gaiman. Drool . . .

    I am so jealous of your life right now. :/

    February 5th 2010 @ 9:45 PM

    OH, just watched the outtakes. You pulled the lightsaber out upside down. LOL on you. ;)

     
     
    February 5th 2010 @ 9:53 PM

    Some really slick action moves there! Especially that sequence near the beginning of the fight (starting around 1:43) with the spin culminating in a real hero pose , and that part around 2:08 where I really thought you were going to do a complete flip. Too bad they didn’t put you on a wire! Vi, the Jedi slayer. Well done.

     
    February 5th 2010 @ 10:16 PM

    LOVE IT soooo much.
    That…Flames! Flames…on the side of my face….breathing…heaving breaths…..

     
    February 5th 2010 @ 10:29 PM

    Nice work as usual Feli D! Pretty amazing how well it turned out for only 2 hours put in.
    I love the part right after the epic matrix-esque scene, Jace says “Just give me my damn baby Jesus doll.” Very funny.

     
    February 5th 2010 @ 10:47 PM

    Great lightsaber fight Felicia. Of course now you will have to work some sort of sword battle into season 4 of the Guild.

     
    February 5th 2010 @ 11:37 PM

    Geekgasm!

    That. Was. AWESOME!

    /me goes and watch Jace Hall episodes

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 12:14 AM

    I have never loved you more! <3
    The scene with the lightsabers fight is awesome, you had the best moves, I'm sure you'll win!

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 2:19 AM

    This is absolutely the best webvid I’ve seen this year. Amazing job. You looked insanely graceful and struck some fantastic poses – positively Glau-esque. As Jedis go, you’re a natural. The acting was spot on too. Kudos.

    February 6th 2010 @ 8:42 AM

    There is unfortunately a GOTCHA in all this, so be WARNED! If you watch the video at IGN.com you will notice a DOWNLOAD button, and clicking that brings up a rather misleading message that sounds like it is saying you need to purchase an IGN Insider account to download the video. DO NOT DO THIS!!! It turns out that none of the Jace Hall videos are available for download, and you would only be wasting your money.

     
     
    February 6th 2010 @ 2:26 AM

    That simply ROCKED!!

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 3:08 AM

    … as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in joy and were suddenly giddy

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 6:57 AM

    LOL ? ? ?
    that was simply awesome! ^^

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 6:58 AM

    ? are supposed to be <3 's, guess you can't use those…
    just wanted to clarify that I wasn't confused about whether or not I LOL'd.
    I LOL'd

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 7:54 AM

    The fight was epic.
    But 0:27 will be my favorite line EVER.

    - I’m Felicia Day BITCHES!!!

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 8:06 AM

    It may be the whisky sours talking… but that was SOOOOOOOO HOT!

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 10:03 AM

    I’m so sorry about that! YOu should get a refund :( I just agreed to do the video, I have nothing to do with that, but I’ll send someone an email letting them know that happened. Again sorry!!!!

    February 6th 2010 @ 10:19 AM

    Please don’t worry about it. It was only $8. No big deal. And totally not your fault of course (or Jace’s). I just wanted to warn others from making the same blunder.

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 10:28 AM

    Also, I just remembered that I put it on the Masked Roger’s credit card. His own stupid fault for leaving it on his desk. LOL!

     
     
    February 6th 2010 @ 10:16 AM

    Hands down the greatest thing I’ve ever watched on the internet. (Net to the guild of course.) Never underestimae the power of the Dork-side lol!
    Best Jedi poses ever by the way, and now I want to see more.

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 10:45 AM

    That was sweet!! Is that actually your characters name? I hope they gave you an ignore all button O.O

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 10:57 AM

    Mad skills indeed! A sure sign that vengeance is best served in post production.

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 11:17 AM

    I’m back. I’m sober. And, yes, that was DAMN hot!!!

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 11:57 AM

    Greatest lightsaber fight ever. Flawless victory

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 12:11 PM

    Golly I hate to pile on, but yeah….. Hawt.

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 12:46 PM

    It would be fun to see the baby jesus doll dropped from an airplane!

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 2:12 PM

    That was amazing, aint laffed that much in a while, what a brilliant video, luvvvvvvit felicia. all the best :-)

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 3:40 PM

    Not only i laughed a lot, but i learned that when you fight, you become hotter than ever.
    Fantastic, i showed to all my friends, and i was very proud to see that you fought a lot better than Jace.

    Vork should see THAT!!!!! :)

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 5:40 PM

    You were my geek-girl idol anyway, but this clinches it. Too amazing.

     
    February 6th 2010 @ 6:31 PM

    I don’t care how you do it, but there must be a LIGHTSABER FIGHT IN THE GUILD SEASON 4! You just can’t show us this and not follow up!

     
    February 7th 2010 @ 5:41 AM

    Wow, that was brilliant!

    I agree with Tony P, there /has/ to be a saber fight in The Guild season 4, and the dialogue in that was brilliant! :)

     
    February 7th 2010 @ 5:57 AM

    Two things: First, I agree with the mounting concensus that there has to be a light sabre fight in The Guild, Season 4. Of course, Felicia will need an opponent with considerable martial arts/choreographic chops to match her own as a “worthy opponent.” And it will have to be a full “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Nerd” battle sequence that by the ends leaves the viewers with their heads pulled far back from their computer monitors going, “Whoaaa!”

    Second, I’m now 24 hours sober (and that includes the after-effects of recreational drugs)(WARNING: Kids don’t try this at home), and on the seventh view of Lightsabre video (7th with a cold, clear eye), I find my original assessment still stands: This is INCREDBILY hot!

    And that’s the last time I make that observation because it’s starting to get obsessive.

     
    February 7th 2010 @ 6:08 AM

    I admit it, I’m a Feliciaphile. Your presence on the web in the past eight months has been phenomenal: DYWDMA, The Guild, the Spitzer Space Telescope video, the fairy in LoN and now this. Yowsa

     
    February 7th 2010 @ 9:51 AM

    What fun!!! I hope you all had as much fun making it as I did watching.

     
    February 7th 2010 @ 11:02 AM

    That light saber battle was the hottest thing I’ve seen in a while. The expressions on your face plus you holding a light saber = instant nerdgasm.

    I mean, um, great job on this video. :D

     
    February 7th 2010 @ 12:46 PM

    The best light saber battle I’ve seen all weekend. Somewhere George Lucas and Michael Bay are huddled in a corner wrapped in each others arms weeping in shame and envy!

     
    February 8th 2010 @ 6:59 AM

    That pose at 1:44…. magnificent. Just add a Princess Leia slave girl costume and you could retire on the royalties.

     
    February 8th 2010 @ 8:30 PM

    Nice saber duel – it seems to me that most of them can be boring because there’s no witty banter. As Captain Smirk said, “Swordfighting is kinda like making love. It’s not always what you do, but what you say.”

     
    February 10th 2010 @ 9:08 AM

    Came here via a link on Stranger Things. I just have to say that you looked amazing in that fight! Great choreography, and great legs. It was way cool.

     
    February 10th 2010 @ 9:27 AM

    i wanna mmmmmm you so gooddddddddd mmmmmmmm

     
    February 10th 2010 @ 9:42 AM

    Yeyyy! Go Felicia Day!

    Hey, that video was waay too short. Wait, you did win that duel, right? You did kick his ass, didn’t you?!??

     
    February 15th 2010 @ 7:01 AM

    Hey, that was pretty good, especially considering you were “crazy busy” at the time! Seems you have a flair for Jedi-like movements.

     
    February 18th 2010 @ 12:43 AM

    Between Felicia Day and Michael “Dorkman” Scott I was amazed that I had not seen this video sooner. Your fans are all proud of the work that your doing and we hope to see you in a lot more. Keep up the good work.

    Please don’t break The Guild’s great story line with a lightsaber fight.

    A good read on neurocinematics.

    Most of this is stuff live performers are very aware of if not systematized. For example, any late night band gig player can tell you why and how picking a given song order has the right effect for getting them out the door and into their cars without fights.

    Props to Raph Koster for that link and the discussion of applications to game play and game design.

     
    February 26th 2010 @ 9:39 AM

    omg Felicia, your ass looks outstanding in those poses. You should insure it.

     
    February 26th 2010 @ 10:29 AM

    This is absolutely retarded. What the hell is the point of any of these stupid videos? The girl is ugly and the skits are nonsense.

     
    March 9th 2010 @ 3:38 PM

    I’ll bet this helped get the lead in the new SYFY movie: RED. Now filming. Good work.
    It showed them you have the skills needed to do the fights. .
    Good luck in the new part.

    Does this mean Jace will be a werewolf you have to kill? Come on SYFY, you know that would be extra credit.
