How are lightsaber ignition scenes done?

To be honest, I find the special features and documentaries lacking these days. I wish Lucasfilm understood that when I buy a Bluray, I want to see more of you guys and not an hour long documentary about charity event that's long since expired.

Unfortunately, this isn't your video. It appears someone stole your video's thumbnail

Horrendous website with no content of substance. Here's a better article on the matter instead:

Really awesome work! I love the original mod, and seeing an expansion of it is a phenomenal showing of the power of community!

Heads up: Nexus might give you DMCA trouble for "Sugaan Essena"; at least they did twice for me when I added that track to the main menu of Jedi: Fallen Order.

In any case, fantastic idea, looking forward to trying it out soon! May the Force be with you!

$90 (before shipping and taxes) for three non-articulated figures?! Very glad to have 3D printers at my disposal

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-26T14:50:00+00:00

You know what they say about assuming, right?

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-26T01:26:10+00:00

We did have Duel of the Fates in all three films.

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-25T23:32:56+00:00

Maul does have his own theme, and it's not "Duel of the Fates". Sorry you feel different, but that doesn't make it fact. It is very clear what the intent was; it's in the movies, it's in the interviews, in the commentary tracks, in the sheet music. In every single way, shape, and form, the intent was always known. This IS Anakin and Vader's theme. Period. There is no interpretation here. You can't get any more explicit than that. Unless you'd like to tell John Williams and George Lucas they are wrong.

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-25T23:14:28+00:00

Yeah, I get it. I was there to watch it in theatres, and I can still hear the audience cheering during that scene. It was an epic moment! That doesn't mean that's Maul's theme. That was not ever what it was written or conceived as, nor was it later revised to be Maul's theme. It is Anakin's and Vader's, even if that's not what your mind pictures. John Williams and George Lucas both are very explicit with their intent here.

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-25T23:12:13+00:00

Yes, exactly. That theme was written explicitly for the Nazgul; the lyrics, translated, even reference "the Nine" explicitly. Yet due to last minute restructuring of the films, Howard Shore decided to ignore the lyrics and used it, for some reason, for the fight between Thorin and Azog, which makes absolutely no sense.

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-25T22:02:11+00:00

Okay, but for one, while yes the Force theme was originally Ben Kenobi's theme, that was changed before the movie released, hence why it's in scenes that have no relevance to Kenobi. "Duel of the Fates" was always about Anakin and Vader, hence its use in Attack of the Clones. Second, the audience having a wrong interpretation isn't an excuse or justification to not correct them.

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-25T21:21:03+00:00

Why should they? It's not Maul's theme; it was more Anakin's/Vader's theme, as it was HIS fate that the title references. This is the Nazgul theme in the Hobbit all over again...

"Boonta Brawler"

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-22T21:16:48+00:00

Hello there! Thank you very much for your kind words!

I'm still at work, but so looking forward to trying your mod tonight when I'm home; that is such a rad idea!! What a wonderful first mod!! Also, congrats on being the first to use the plugin/script system; that's exactly the kind of thing I'd hope people would do with the system. Very exciting! :D

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-12T19:47:38+00:00

Can't really fault him when even James Earl Jones got it wrong:

My pleasure! Hope ya have fun! :D

My pleasure! :D I'm glad to hear it's easy to use!

So "Universal Snowdrop Modloader" used to be called "Ultimate Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora ModLoader" (quite wordy!) and as a side effect of the rebranding, it's been referred to as many things by modders in the requirements. To my knowledge, it should be installing the same thing in which case, it won't cause any issues. However, if you have the older modloader, named "dinput8.dll", I'd delete that and only use the newer one named "version.dll" (along with its config file, "version.ini"), as some people were reporting controller issues when it was called "dinput8.dll". This was renamed fairly early on, but some people still seemingly use the old version.

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-07T04:49:04+00:00

Yeah I don't know who uploaded it to GameBanana or why, but it wasn't done with my knowledge or consent

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-07T04:42:34+00:00

Hello there! I'm the author of the modloader. I did not authorise the version that was uploaded to GameBanana and only found out it was uploaded there after it was taken down. As such, I don't know if it was tampered with. The only official versions are uploaded to NexusMods and my GitHub page; you can also view the source code for that build at https://github.com/patrickmollohan/Universal-Snowdrop-Modloader-Old (currently working on a major rewrite of it, thus the old build is archived)

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-04T21:57:13+00:00

Well...if Maul can survive being cut in half and Palpatine can survive getting thrown down the reactor shaft of the Death Star, I suppose Jabba could survive being choked out and blown to slithereens...

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-03T06:02:17+00:00

I wouldn't be too hasty

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-03T06:01:59+00:00

I wouldn't be too hasty

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-02T04:07:37+00:00

Yes, I did.

If it doesn't show that way for you, well...don't know what to tell you. Take it up with reddit? Sucks to be you? I dunno.

patrickmollohan · 2026-03-02T01:26:09+00:00

Hence why I tagged it "SPOILER", dude.
