Mild spoilers for Game of Thrones season 7 below...
The last season of Game of Thrones featured some real lady power moments, and one such highlight was Arya Stark and Brienne of Tarth's sparring at Winterfell.
The two fan favourites finally faced off in a scene that even inspired its own Star Wars lightsaber-themed remix.
Of course, one might've wondered how the 6'3" Gwendoline Christie, playing a seasoned swordswoman, and the 5'1" Maisie Williams, playing a deadly assassin, convincingly pulled off this fight choreography.
Now, HBO has pulled back the curtain on the two's fight rehearsals, as part of its ongoing Game Revealed behind-the-scenes series.
Maisie, who taught herself to fight as a lefty because Arya's a lefty, shared: "To be fighting Gwen, who is far over a foot taller than me, and for her to be fighting someone who is far, far shorter than her, it's been a massive challenge."

Gwendoline said of her perspective on the sequence (which is, to be fair, from a much taller vantage point): "We trusted each other."
Ultimately, episode director of photography Robert McLachlan put it best: "I don't think we had to do too much to it to make it very fun to watch, because everybody's wanted to see these two together for a long time."
