The scene opens with a vertical split screen, showing two concurrent views. The top frame displays two young men, both Asian, standing on a dark street at night, holding glowing lightsabers. The man on the left, wearing a light-colored top and dark trousers, wields a blue lightsaber, while the man on the right, dressed in dark clothing, holds a red lightsaber. They are positioned facing each other, ready for a duel, with a clear white line painted on the asphalt between them. Houses with illuminated windows line the background, and the overall lighting is dim, accentuated by the intense glow of the sabers. The bottom frame shows a dark, futuristic interior with Count Dooku, a Caucasian male with a white beard and dark attire, wielding a red lightsaber and engaging an unseen opponent. The environment is dramatic with subdued, indirect lighting. The color palette is dominated by the contrasting blue and red of the lightsabers against the dark street and interior settings.

The split screen continues to display parallel actions. In the top frame, the two young men are actively engaged in a fast-paced lightsaber duel on the dark street. Their blue and red lightsabers clash repeatedly, creating bright flashes of light that briefly illuminate their faces and the wet asphalt, which reflects the saber glows. The man with the blue saber moves dynamically, blocking and striking. At one point, a brilliant white spherical burst of energy erupts from his lightsaber, indicating a powerful force-like blast, momentarily obscuring him. The background houses remain dimly visible. The bottom frame shows a rapid montage of clips from various Star Wars duels, primarily featuring Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker battling Count Dooku.

They move around each other, their sabers creating streaks of blue and red light. The camera stays focused on them, showing their upper bodies and legs as they step and pivot. The houses in the background, mostly dark with occasional warm interior lights, provide a stark contrast to the vivid saber glows. The bottom frame cuts between different intense moments of Obi-Wan and Anakin fighting Count Dooku, showcasing various parries, blocks, and attacks in a dimly lit, futuristic environment. The rapid transitions and close-ups highlight the skill and speed of the combatants. The ambient lighting shifts slightly with the sabers' movements, maintaining a dramatic and action-oriented atmosphere.

He is positioned center-right, his red saber glowing brightly. The man with the blue lightsaber (light shirt) is forced to retreat slightly, maintaining a defensive posture. Their sabers clash with bright visual effects, momentarily freezing the action as light flares. The brick wall of a house is prominent in the background, dimly lit by the streetlights and saber glows. The bottom frame features Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker fighting Count Dooku. Close-ups show Dooku's strong offensive moves and Obi-Wan's determined defense, with the glow of the sabers providing the primary illumination in the dark, cavernous setting. The overall mood is tense and confrontational, with the red saber appearing dominant.
0:11saber lock and explosion
The split screen captures a pivotal moment of the duel. In the top frame, the two young men have their lightsabers locked in a direct clash. The blue and red blades meet at the center, creating an intense point of energy. Suddenly, a massive, bright white light bursts from the point of contact, enveloping both characters and briefly washing out the scene. This visual effect signifies a powerful impact or Force ability, mimicking a cinematic explosion. The street and brick house in the background are momentarily obscured by this blinding light. The bottom frame shows various Star Wars clips: Obi-Wan and Anakin in a lightsaber lock with Dooku, followed by Obi-Wan being dramatically thrown backward, landing hard on the ground. The lighting in the bottom frame is dramatic, with strong contrasts and flashes from the lightsabers. The color palette shifts from the dominant blue/red to an overwhelming white during the explosion.

The split screen shows the aftermath of the powerful clash. In the top frame, the young man with the blue lightsaber (light shirt) is seen stumbling backward, clearly affected by the preceding 'explosion.' He struggles to regain his balance, his blue saber still active. The man with the red lightsaber (dark clothes) walks slowly and deliberately towards him, maintaining an intimidating posture, his red saber still glowing menacingly. The dark street and brick houses serve as a subdued background, emphasizing the characters. The bottom frame features contrasting clips: first, a close-up of a lightsaber lying discarded on the ground, then Anakin Skywalker (Caucasian male) lying on a rocky surface, seemingly injured and in distress, gasping for air. The lighting in the bottom frame is darker and more somber, highlighting the grim reality of combat. The dominant colors are the intense blue and red of the sabers against the dark surroundings.

The background houses, with their illuminated windows, remain a constant, dimly lit backdrop. The bottom frame features a close-up montage of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in rapid succession of lightsaber clashes, emphasizing the power and skill involved. The camera in the bottom frame often focuses on the sabers and the characters' intense facial expressions. The predominant colors are the vibrant blue and red of the lightsabers, cutting through the general darkness of both settings.
0:20final saber lock and force attempt
The split screen presents a prolonged and intense lightsaber lock. In the top frame, both young men are again in a direct confrontation, their blue and red lightsabers crossed and locked together with significant force. The man in dark clothes (red saber) appears to be pushing strongly against the man in the light shirt (blue saber). A large, vibrant white sphere of light emanates from the point of contact, similar to an energy burst, signifying an immense power struggle. This effect illuminates the entire foreground, casting strong purple and pink hues onto the street. The background houses are still visible but become secondary to the central energy display. The bottom frame juxtaposes Obi-Wan Kenobi and Count Dooku in a saber lock, followed by a close-up of Obi-Wan's face, straining as if attempting a Force push. The lighting in the bottom frame is dramatic and moody, with the saber glows providing dynamic highlights. The color palette is dominated by the powerful blue, red, and white light effects against the dark environments.

The final scene of the split screen depicts the conclusion of the duel. In the top frame, the young man with the blue lightsaber (light shirt) has been defeated and is on one knee on the dark street, his blue saber still lit but held defensively close to his body. He appears to be in pain or exhaustion, looking up at his victorious opponent. The man with the red lightsaber (dark clothes) stands tall and dominant over him, his red saber pointed downwards, a clear sign of his triumph. The lighting is still provided by the glowing lightsabers, emphasizing the red saber's dominance. The background houses and street remain dark.
