And zaandarbrow shared this behind-the-scenes clip introducing himself and his combatants at a very cool-looking location. "Alright, 3-2-1-action, KILL EACH OTHER!" Couldn't have said it better myself!

Should quiz performance impact eligibility to be on the Council? 🤔 We think everyone's done pretty well, don't you?

While Overall Winner is often considered from a combination of all of the judging criteria, special awards are given to entries that embody a category. While Star Wars: The Last Mistake won Overall for SaberComp 2025, it also took home Best Editing, Best Cinematography and Best Choreography.

2nd Overall—Zatoichi - The Blind Jedi Master—also took home the prize for the newest category, Best Costumes. And entries that didn't even make the top three also got awards: Shatterpoint for Best Visual Effects, Dungeons & Dark Side for Production Design, and The Secret Apprentice for Use of Theme.
