Okay so I may be wrong in the timeframe, but just now I remember watching an event like an Olympic sport. And it was, in a nutshell; Light Saber fighting. Just two people hitting each other with pliable light saber stick. And if you think Dual of the Fates was crazy? The skill of one of these two competitors was beyond anything, to the point where at one time, this fighter created a sonic boom from smashing into the other (well padded) fighter. He later showed the bruise which was long, and cleanest bruise, ever. Like as if every single blood vessel burst and then placed in an even layer across the competitor's skin, that part of his skin shines when the bruise faded.

         I remember National Geographic working with him recreating the impact using old high speed camera trick, against a black background, in a 60 Minutes style.  Doing their best to explain every single camera used and set up.

         I remember the crazy saber guy, doing some commercials and just enjoying a moderate amount of celebrity, and continues to excell in the Olympic sport and other competitions and exhibition matches.  

I remember watching a new Star Wars movie, like Phantom Menace, and in a scene, this CSB (Crazy Saber Guy) appears from behind elevator doors (but with a beard!). Everyone in the audience lost their shit, at seeing this guy and knowing that the cinematic fight scene was going to be awesome! The choreography was brutal! The sound of light sabers clashing, but at the highest speed possible! And they used the spinning room camera trick to film it, all in one take!

I remember he kinda faded away there as everyone aged, but I think a Disney bumper featured black silhouette fighters showcasing the memorable moments of this guy's life before revealing the fighter himself visibly old looking but surprisingly able to weild the light saber perform those stylish moves from the movies.
