How would you guys rank the lightsaber battles in these movies? Do you have a favorite?
Mine would be the one in Empire. The set was just gorgeous with the smoke and color of their blades. Then you have Luke using two hands on his saber, just trying to stay alive, while Vader taunts him fighting one handed. So cool.
My favorite fight in the whole series: Mace Windu (and a squadron of easily dispatched jedi) versus Palpatine who he defeats only to get punked by anakin

yes!! heh..I'm so damn tired, I've been dealing with snow non stop since before christmas. My mind is kind of slow right now.
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
Anakin vs ObiWan. Hands down. That was the duel I was waiting for since seeing the first movie. Second would be Yoda vs Dooku. Third is the one from Empire.
u know, I like the prequals but one of my only issues with it is how many lightsaber battles there r
I mean there are as many in attack of the clones or revenge of the sith as there were in the entire original trilogy
in the older films they were SPECIAL, something u really looked forward to and having so many made them a little less special no matter how kickass they were, its like eating birthday cake for every meal, yeah its sweet but theres always that thought that its better once a year so as not to lose its shine
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
In the original trilogy there were four people with light sabers. Of course there weren't going to be many duels.
I think my first would be the one from Empire. Second would be Obi Wan and Darth Maul. Third would be Luke and Vader in Jedi.
I also loved it when Luke kicked everyone's ass on Jabba's freighter. I guess it doesn't really count as a duel but it was so badass when Luke caught his light saber in mid air and went to town.
Oh man, I love the duel on Jabba's sail barge. Luke kicked ass in that, it was so rad. And of course Leia looked amazing.
I just wished Boba Fett didn't die in the film like that, it was more luck than anything else. But, they did bring him back in the comic and extended universe novels, so that was kind of cool too.
Move father south. I haven't seen snow yet this season.

Four? I count only three. Obi-Wan, Vader, and Luke. There were only three duels through the entire first trilogy. Obi-Wan and Vader on The Death Star in ANH, Luke and Vader on Bespin in ESB, and Luke and Vader on The Death Star in ROTJ. This only counts duels not usage of the lightsabers, and I count the Bespin duel as one even though it is broken into parts.In the original trilogy there were four people with light sabers. Of course there weren't going to be many duels.

I kind of wish the Jedi's when they die in Sith had a bit more of a battle before they died.

Ahh, I saw that Chap, but Its disconcerting to learn about what happened to radical. I can't believe the game was that far along- I just hope another studio picks it up.
I'm dying for a next gen version of Battlefront III.
someone must own the rights to the content of the game (lucas arts most likely), so it's pretty safe to bet it will be released some day.
at least I hope so even though I've never played any of the battlefronts games before.

Hands down the coolest video games Lucas arts ever did (at least for me). Being able to participate in all those epic battles was the coolest thing for a Star Wars fan.someone must own the rights to the content of the game (lucas arts most likely), so it's pretty safe to bet it will be released some day.

Check them out.
As far as the light saber duels go, I haven't decided if I like any from episodes 1-3. Any of the duels from episodes 4-6 were like how swordsman would have dueled in Europe during the medieval time period (before and after). Episodes 1-3 duels are like some one from Japan or China became a Jedi and taught everyone martial arts.
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
The lightsaber duel between Obi-Wan and Maul in Episode I is one of my favorite scenes from any of the Star Wars films.
Right on. I feel the same way. I think one of the things that makes it cool is how Obi Wan compensates for not having a second blade. That behind the back stuff was cool as hell, and the intensity at having lost Qui Gon.
The fight between Vader and Luke was very much like the duels of Japan. The training Hamill went through was Japanese fencing if I remember right. I can tell by the stances in ROTJ that he studied a Japanese style for that fight.
I was hoping to see more dynamic duels in 1-3, but I had also hoped to see more realistic duels too. A real duel is much like a gunfight. The duelists size each other up and feel each other out, but once someone starts the action, they were usually over in a heartbeat. Sidious showed this in ROTS when he took down multiple Jedi in no more than one or two strokes each. That was the most realistic duel I saw. Having said that, I liked the Obi-Wan/Vader duel best. That's what I always thought a duel between equals might be like. Each anticipating the next move of the other until one becomes exhausted or makes a mistake.

That scene in Episode III where Obi Wan and Anakin/Vader launch each other across the room using opposite sides of the Force is awesome as hell.
I agree, but after that, I thought it was really boring and there was far too much CGI with Mustafar. I could tell they were just jumping around on a green screen.
too much CGI in general in epis 1-3...
guess I'm old school
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
I agree completely that there was too much CGI dude. The duel was GREAT until they went outside. It just kinda went downhill after that, it was still good but the Vader/Luke duel was better at that point.I agree, but after that, I thought it was really boring and there was far too much CGI with Mustafar.
