Arya & Brienne duel on Game of Thrones gets a lightsaber redux

The season seven episode of GAME OF THRONES, "The Spoils of War", has already gone down as one of the best in series history in large part due to the epic battle involving Dothraki, Lannisters and a dragon spitting hellfire on the battlefield. But one of the episode’s best moments was an encounter between Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) and Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) in which the two have a little sword duel. Brienne assumes Arya needs to be treated gently, but the latter soon proves her mettle and schools Brienne like the ninja she has become. It’s a riveting and grin-inducing scene, and one that can’t but be better with the inclusion of lightsabers.

Omid G took to YouTube to remedy this little issue, perfectly replacing the swords with lightsabers and perfectly-timed saber noises. Both warriors, as well as Podrick (Daniel Portman), get their own saber, with Pod getting a RETURN OF THE JEDI green, Brienne getting that Obi-Wan blue, and Arya rocking a dope-ass Mace Windu purple. The duel was already awesome, to begin with, but the sheer level of awesomeness it has now attained makes the most amazing of human experiences look like a dumpster fire in the middle of Arkansas.
