    Nevermind all this Maul, Luke, Obi-Wan, Vader, Dooku etc stuff! What the fans REALLY want to know is...what is the best minor fight in the Star Wars saga so far?!

    Vote now on these epics!

    Ep.1 Qui-Gon Jinn vs Trade Federation STAP
    Ep.2 Anakin Skywalker vs Kouhun bug assassins
    Ep.4 Luke Skywalker vs remote droid
    Ep.5 Luke Skywalker vs Wampa Ice Creature
    Ep.6 Luke Skywalker vs speeder bike pilot

    As for my views...
    Qui-Gon's long and gruelling battle against the STAP on Naboo is certainly a winner...then again, so is Anakin's struggle against the Kouhuns. The remote droid pushed Luke to his physical limits and beyond, but the Wampa Ice Creature also proved to be highly skilled at lightsabre duelling. And yet, maybe the winner should be Luke's herculean combat against the speeder bike pilot, eventually overcoming the odds and winning several days later...

    I just can't decide myself! That's why YOU need to vote now!

    :p

    I notice the Yoda and R2-D2 fight is not on your list...

    That really takes my cake! :p

    If I had included it, that would have been a runaway winner, dArTh_wenley :)

    I love it when Yoda's clubbing away with his stick, it's those little grunts of effort and steely determination that made me laugh :D

    Anyway...for the purposes of this very silly poll, I thought the Wampa Ice Creature was a much more skilled *cough* opponent...

    Well, I was looking for fights involving lightsabres. Plus Artoo beats up far too many people in the SW saga :D

    Nope, far too good.

    Trade Federation STAP - 1 vote
    Kouhun bug assassins - 0 votes
    Remote droid - 0 votes
    Wampa Ice Creature - 0 votes
    Speeder bike pilot - 2 votes

    In fairness, Luke's efforts against the speeder bike pilot are too good to be in this poll as well, but I couldn't think of any other small bit of lightsabre action in ROTJ suitable. I was aiming for the smallest possible piece of action for each of the film nominations. For example, it was a close run thing between the Wampa Ice Creature and Han slitting open the Tauntaun.

    Any ideas? I'm looking for the smallest, quickest, shortest use of a lightsabre in ROTJ. This IS meant to be a comedy thread, so feel free to give me any ideas...maybe we can refine this list before I take a poll again.

    That Han vs the Tauntaun fight wasn't really fair. :)

    Lol yeah, and Padme came out on top.

    My vote goes to Anakin vs. the Kouhuns. They didn't stand a chance. And just think if had Anakin slipped. Padme would be in two.

    I cast my vote for Luke vs. speeder bike pilot.

    Though, sadly, the Scoutrooper lost. :(

    Wait ... that's not the point, is it?

    My vote goes to Anakin's fight with the Kouhuns...somehow the idea of Padmé cut in half is appealing to me...

    *Evil laugh* Uh...*Cough* [face_plain]

    Before I read the actual message you had the very first thing I thought of was when Luke was defending himself versus the Tusken Raider in Ep IV. Yes, he lost, but it showed his Jedi reflexes were already starting to show themself.

    jedi_master_ousley, I agree with you on OB1's bar fights! He does get into quite a few of those bar fights, doesn't he?

    So that's...

    Trade Federation STAP - 1 vote
    Kouhun bug assassins - 2 votes
    Remote droid - 0 votes
    Wampa Ice Creature - 2 votes
    Speeder bike pilot - 3 votes

    That's 8 votes so far, although no-one has voted for the amazing dexterity and sheer charisma of the training remote in ANH yet.
