Random Nerdery: Bruce Lee’s Lightsaber, a 16-bit Last Jedi, Reviews of Black Science & The Bone Clocks

Nunchaku lightsabers kick ass; the controversial Star Wars climax goes vintage; and reviews of a reality-hopping family drama and a psychic-powered modern fantasy.

Random Nerdery is a regular Opus feature covering the latest nerdiness from the worlds of film, TV, literature, comic books, video games, technology, web development, and more.


Bruce Lee and the Coolest Lightsaber of All Time

Well, everyone knows Bruce Lee didn’t fight with lightsaber nunchaku. What this video presupposes is… maybe he did.


Watch The Last Jedis Final Battle in 16-bit Glory

The Last Jedi has not been without controversy, and one of its biggest controversies was how the movie treated Luke Skywalker, particularly his climactic stand against Kylo Ren and the First Order. Writer/director Rian Johnson has explained this scene in detail, including the color of Luke’s lightsaber. So really, all that’s left is to watch it again, only this time in glorious 16-bit detail.
