"Lightsaber Duel" is the fourth Actual Short of Season 2.

Unofficial Synopsis

Green, Blue, and Red fight with lightsabers.

Plot

Blue grabs a blue lightsaber image from Google and ignites it. Red does the same for a red lightsaber and the two of them have a duel. Green then lands between them, whips out a green lightsaber, and points it at Red, who in turn pulls out a second red lightsaber. The three of them fight viciously, Green and Blue against Red, even cutting up the couch and the task bar. Red attaches his two sabers together to make one double-bladed saber resembling Darth Maul's to continue their duel. Eventually, Red pretends to force-push Green and Blue away and their fight continues over by the Start button, where Red and Blue get their blades stuck in the Start button. They try pulling them out, only for the desktop to explode and the computer to stop responding and crash with a blue screen of death.

Trivia

  • The music that plays during this duel is based on Duel of the Fates, the same music from the aforementioned Star Wars fight.
  • The three Star Wars characters mentioned use lightsabers matching the colors of the stick figures in this short.
  • Despite being in the Soresu stance, Green used Ataru.
  • This is the third time the Blue Screen of Death is seen in an Alan Becker video, the first two being Animator vs. Animation 3 and Animator vs. Animation 4 - Kickstarter.
    • This is the first time the Blue Screen of Death appears in an Actual Short.

Errors

• When Blue steals the lightsaber from the photo, it has Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber's hilt, but when he ignites and fights Red with it, it has Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber's hilt.
