Star Wars Anakin and Obi-wan lightsaber duel
It's safe to say that if you are a Star Wars fan then at some point in your life you've wanted to be in a real lightsaber fight. Re-enacting famous duels from the movies can only get you so far and you dream of the day when you don't have to make the signature noises from your mouth. Well, he didn't get to use a real one, but one man used a toy lightsaber to defend himself from a knife-wielding attacker and it actually worked. I'm going to take a guess and assume that he was way too busy defending himself to make any lightsaber noises at the time.
According to the Charlotte Observer, a stepfather in Rock Hill, South Carolina, was attacked by his daughter in their apartment. The 17-year-old female grabbed two kitchen knives from a nearby knife stand and slashed at the man. Assumedly grabbing the closest thing he could find, the stepfather defended himself with a toy plastic lightsaber. The man hit the girl several times with the toy before the altercation ended. The daughter was then arrested by the police and charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.
Obviously, this was a serious situation and some quick thinking kept him from potentially fatal injury, but that man could not have picked a better weapon to defend himself with. We can't imagine a lot of scenarios where a fake lightsaber could save your life, but apparently, it was enough to hold off an attacker wielding two knives.
As far as duels go, it was probably less extravagant than, say, Anakin vs. Obi-Wan from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and was something more grounded like Rey vs. Kylo Ren in Stars Wars: The Force Awakens. It's tough to say without actually being there, so I'll just provide this clip from Force Awakens for reference.


Speaking of Force Awakens, it's sequel, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, is becoming one of the most hotly anticipated movies of the year. Directed by Rian Johnson, the sequel is being kept under the tightest of wrapping imaginable, but it will find Rey coming face to face with Luke Skywalker, as the battle against the First Order intensifies. There's no trailer or footage from the sequel yet, but it's expected to release something at the upcoming Star Wars Celebration.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is expected to premiere on December 15, 2017. For more updates on everything Star Wars, make sure to keep checking in with CinemaBlend and we'll keep you posted as soon as new information becomes available.

The movie “300,” which was released in 2006, is one of the best epic movies of Hollywood. There are very few epic movies, whose sequels are going to be released in future and 300 is also one of them. The 2 nd  part of this movie franchise, 300: Rise of an Empire, was released in 2014 and collected huge profit at box-office. It didn’t collect more than the 1 st  part, but managed to collect large amount at box-office The reason for low collection of this movie might be because the main protagonist, remained alive in the end, while in the 1 st  part, the main protagonist died, or audience didn’t accept the death of Leonidas (Gerard Butler), King of Sparta, and wanted to see him again in the 2 nd  part. The 1 st  part of this movie was based on the comic series, 300, which is written by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, whereas, the 2 nd  part of this franchise was based on another unreleased novel of Frank Miller, Xerxes.

Stranger Things: M. Night Shyamalan Wants To Direct In Season 2

Well  here's  a plot twist we weren't expecting — though maybe we should have been:  M. Night Shyamalan  — whose new film,  Split , is getting some of his best reviews since  The Sixth Sense  — has expressed an interest in directing episodes of  Stranger Things ' second season. The reason we shouldn't be surprised is that the Duffer Brothers, creators and guiding force of the Netflix series, used to work  for  Shyamalan on the television series  Wayward Pines , which represented their first TV work. While promoting  Split , Shyamalan commented, "My boys who do  Stranger Things , they did  Wayward Pines  for me. They were round my house and I was, like, 'Well, you can hire me back, guys.'" No word on what the Duffers have to say in response. The series is expected to return later this year and will reportedly consist of nine episodes, compared to season one's eight. Elsewhere on the  Stranger Things  news front, Millie Bobby Brown, who pla
