It may be fake, but there's not really enough information to say one way or the other. It sounds like he may have motors that help move the wings that just aren't obvious in the video.
According to Smeets’ calculations, he needed approximately 2,000 Watts of continuous power to support his roughly 180-pound frame and 40-pound wing pack. His arms could only really provide 5 percent of that, so the rest would have to come from motors. His arms and pecs would basically serve to guide the device and to flap the wings.
He built his electronic, wireless wing set out of Wii controllers, accelerometers harvested from an HTC Wildfire Android phone and Turnigy motors.
God I hate watching the prequel saber fights, there is just no emotion or any real weight to them. And they're even worse when I watch something like this!
that panning shot at 3:28 is still like my favorite moment in star wars ever
The music, and the lighting, and the character dynamics... Just so awesome.
The prequel fights are all ass.

A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

I gotta say, the old trilogy's light saber fights were much more epic thanks to the tension, the taunting, and the overall samurai-like code of honor and respect. Almost like watching two snakes fighting.

There are four floors in the Abercrombie, so I divided everyone up into four groups by birthday month, to ensure we’d have an even number of men on each floor. Those on the second floor were out of luck, as they’d be shopping on the women’s only floor.

I think the point is that if you look at, say...
the fight is choreographed like an actual swordfight, with purpose behind the movements.

Do you perchance know when the first film hits America?
Also, you know, Sir Alec Guiness. Dude is a real knight, which automatically makes him the best Jedi knight.
