It’s a question that’s been hotly debated for years: Would a Wizard or a Jedi win in a duel? YouTube channel RackaRacka tries to answer that mystery.
In a new video released on YouTube this week, a parody pits one guy with a wand against another with a light saber as their friends look on in horror (and hilariously make a Lord of the Rings reference).
The special effects are particularly impressive and add to the perceived authenticity of the video.
Judging by the way the story in this video plays out, it looks like the light saber has the upper hand. It’s able to cut the sword of Godric Gryffindor in half, it can easily fend off spells, and it can go straight through a wizard’s body, apparently killing him or her.
The wand does appear to have a couple of advantages. At one point we see the Jedi lose his light saber when the right spell sends it flying out of the Jedi’s hands.
Who do you think would win in a duel?
In somewhat-related news, the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII is expected to be announced this weekend just in time for the unofficial May the Fouth holiday. Reports indicate that a table read with the cast and director J.J. Abrams is happening tomorrow in London. The film is expected to begin filming in May for a release in December 2015.
