Since everybody seems to be talking about Star Wars lately, I wanted to make this post for fun. I want to see what is the best light-saber duel in the Star Wars series. I know most of you hate the prequels, but I will say to please re-watch the duels again before making a final decision. I have seen all of the duels in Star Wars and I have to say the Obi-Wan vs. Anakin is the best duel for me. I've seen the originals and yes even though it's a different style of light-saber dueling they didn't impress me as much as the Obi-Wan vs. Anakin one. Anyways of course it's my opinion please don't insult each other and start arguments. Note I only included duels that lasted longer than a few minutes, I didn't include short duels or duels where the opponent didn't carry a light-saber. I also went ahead and included the Episode VII duel for those who have seen the new movie.

Oh man hopefully people don't get mad about the potential Episode VII spoilers!
I went with Vader vs Luke VI. Intensity, drama, good dialogue. I loved it. I love how it feels so real, so intense. It'll be hard to ever top this battle for me

Luke vs Vader in V. It contains the biggest moment in the franchise in the dialogue but it also has that raw talent Luke Skywalker that threw everything he had at Vader but just wasn't ready for him.
I feel the final fight in the new one was probably on par with what we saw in Empire though. So much passion and emotion. I need to see it multiple times over years though to appropriately rank it. Rey and Ren were two sides of the same coin and I felt like you could feel that during the battle, that internal struggle of light vs dark.

Anyone who doesn't say Qui Gonn and Obi Wan vs. Darth Maul is a dirty liar.

Anyone who doesn't say Qui Gonn and Obi Wan vs. Darth Maul is a dirty liar. It's an amazing fight, but my issue with it is it looks a little over choreographed at points (aiming for the saber not the person), where as the Vader/Luke fights in V and VI (the latter of which I voted for) feel real and you get more emotion out of it (which I consider important). It also doesn't help that the ending to it is kinda weak. But it'd probably place just ahead of the Empire duel though for me thanks to the fact the choreography that is there is really well executed, there are some great dramatic scenes (waiting for the doors to open) and the music is incredible. I do wonder if that fight is so damn good in part because the rest of the movie is crap, but that fact didn't save the fights in Attack of the Clones... I'd need to see Episode VII again before I can properly rate that one, but I feel it'll be pretty high on the list. |

I think Ben vs Vader from New Hope deserves more of a shout out. Something about the simplicity of it all.
I would rather watch that than the Saber fights that last ten minutes with backflips and Jackie Chan choreography.

Obi Wan vs. Anakin in Episode 3 is the longest and most important light saber dual in the entire series.. But I think Luke vs. Vader is better.. I can't figure out which one though, Episode V or Episode VI..
Shout out to Rey/Finn vs. Kylo in TFA, though.. Three extremely raw and amateur Jedi's just fighting with sabers. None of them had any clue what they were really doing.. Even the more experienced Kylo Ren looked like he wasn't very skilled in the art of a light saber... Yet this element of the fight made the fight THAT much more interesting and exciting.

I'm in the "prequel trilogy is complete garbage with no redeeming values" crowd. No offense to anyone that likes them, but I hate them.
I'd go Vader-Luke 1, then Vader-Luke 2, then TFA and ANH, though I *really* like the ANH a lot... the other ones are just better to me.
EDIT: My favorite bit of lightsaber action is definitely Luke going ballistic on Jabba's drunken gangsters and murdering everyone in sight, though.
