    Bazinga'd versus Supershadow, err I mean I think there are a couple. Anakin versus Obi Wan on Mustafar has got to be the most significant duel to saga even if its not the "best" lightsaber duel. I would also argue that the continuing series of duels between Rey and Kylo throughout TLJ and especially TROS would also top the Obi Wan versus Maul fight. (Remote fighting with a Force Bond is pretty cooll)

    I feel like it was slightly killed in editing. It was originally longer. I want to see a special edition of AOTC so bad, but I know the interest/demand isn't there...plus it wouldn't be Lucas authoring it, so never mind.

    It's probably the most technically impressive. I do think Luke vs Vader in TESB is still the best.

    Yup. Especially the short sequence on the gantry just after Vader says “You are beaten, it is useless to resist. Don’t let yourself be destroyed as Obi-Wan did!”

    They really go for each other, with Luke only just ducking a couple of Vader’s full on swings at him.

    ESB is my favorite SW film.....and the ESB duel is certainly impressive, watching as Luke develops and adapts to Vader, who is testing Luke's abilities.

    But man.....that TPM duel is fantastic. Watching Jedi and Sith in their prime going full-throttle on each other...this was one of the few gems that shone brightly in the PT.

    The only lightsaber fight I liked in the prequels was the short one on Tatooine. I had a meaning, was short and straight to the point.
    The original idea was also that Maul jumps on the ship which got scrapped.

    Least favourite of all.. the animated atropine duels are better...Still good tho too short..But it will be someone's first duel ..So that's cool

    There is one duel that tops them all. Satele Shan vs. Darth Malgus. It’s just... insane. I’m still hoping we’ll get something like this in a film one day.
