While the Obi Wan vs. Anakin duel wasn't as spectacular as the Maul vs. Qui Gon/Obi Wan fight choreography-wise, it had emotion. The emotion is what made it so great. It's the emotion that makes it the best fight saber fight in the whole saga.

I don't get it.
The Duel is faster than the fastest parts of the TPM duel.
When it starts, I was blown away, just as I was blown away when Obi-Wan goes on the offensive after Qui-Gon's death.
Are we talking about the choreography or the direction here?

You can SEE the TPM duel much better. Crisp lighting and camera angles a little more steady and further back.
Not saying The Duel isn't great, just that the close in action in ROTS is sometimes tough to follow.

I think this discussion opens an important question. Should Lucas have made the TPM duel "smaller"? Was it too big to ever be surpassed?
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the TPM duel. Sure it's cool to watch, but doesn't have the emotional weight, which is my it probably is my least favourite amongs the big lightsaber clashes in the saga. (Note: I do not include smaller lighsaber battles in this, such as Maul vs. Qui-Gon on Tatooine or Anakin vs. Dooku in ROTS.)

Anakin Skywalker vs. Obi-Wan Kenobi, hands down. Not only due the amazing setting Lord Lucas placed them in, but the moves and movements were incredible. I loved the other saber battles too, though.

Obi-Wan vs. Anakin.
I thought about yoda vs sid, as it was the battle for the galaxy, in the very heart of the galaxy.
But we are talking about the heart of the saga. Two great friends battling to the death. We are talking about the chosen one, losing in a battle of force power. We are talking about two former friends battling in hell. Vader believing Obi-wan has turned against him. When Obi truely wants to save him, and is the conflicted warrior.

Where is that shot from? It is very cool, but doesn't look like something from the movie. The background doesn't look much like Mustafar.

I believe it's a well-done fake, made from some webdoc footage.

I admit, I voted for Ki Adi. Looking back I should have voted for Anakin vs Obi-wan. But you gotta give Ki Adi the credit. He was the most noble Jedi on the council... a real knightly presence.
He never mattered much in the saga, but with that one scene... the closeup of his face as he realizes the clones have turned.....
Heartbreaking. That was the order 66 scene that hurt me the most.
