It's amazing what you can do with a copy of Adobe After Effects, a decent computer, a cat, a dog, a couple of hours and a sincere love of Star Wars, isn't it?

Just take a look at this epic battle between a pitbull and a Jedi cat. Well, we say it's a Jedi cat - now we come to think of it, it's probably a Sith cat. You know, with cats being evil and all.

There they go, scrapping away when suddenly - 'pshooom' - a pair of lightsabers ignite from the cat's paws. Then, it's the dog who's on the back foot, looking like the bravest pitbull ever to take umbrage with an animal of a feline persuasion.

Bizarrely, this video isn't the first time cats have joined the dark/light side, as this 'Jedi Kittens' video proves beyond a shadow of a doubt.
