Naturally we Thralls, weaponry nerds and battle aficionados are excitedly anticipating Thranduil's game-changing twin sword fighting style. I was watching 'The Chronicles of Narnia' the other night, and notice that Jadis uses twin swords in her fight against Peter. Video clip here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhzVukK4WkQ Tilda Swinton gets some nifty moves. A little more posing though than Thranduil will have time for -- as he'll be taking on numerous savage opponents, not one inexperienced teenager. Also, does anyone know what that ninja-style move is called (does it have a name?) when a pair of swords or knives are twirled / flipped by the user over the back of their hands, usually for effect when completing a move? You can see Kirin Shah doing it here while 'elfing it up', right at very end of this vlog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkfwlcMk-90 Anyone got more double-sword demos to share?
