people can say whatever they want about the prequels, and its true that they're not the best star wars movies by a longshot, but Obi-wan vs Anakin at Mustafar is the best lightsaber battle in the whole saga
CybermanFordStrikesBack Right, because the most powerful Jedi and Sith users in the Galaxy fighting like a bunch of old retired veterans from Episode IV was way more realistic.
Best explanation is Obi Wan used the force to sort of stun Maul into a mini coma where he couldn't move, as ObiWan leaped over him... and then Maul simply watched Stunned as We all were as the lightsaber sliced through him.
Alternative Ending to Duel #1 Anakin: Qui-Gon sir! wait! I'm tired! Qui-Gon: Anakin, drop! Anakin: What? Darth Maul decapitates Anakin...Darth Vader doesn't exist...the Star Wars movies become 10x more boring...
Andrew Asik technically there wouldn't be any Star Wars movies after episode I if Anakin died. Think about it, no one to save Obi Wan from Dooku so Obi Wan would be dead, General Grievous wouldn't have died to Obi wan because we would be dead, Mace Windu would have killed Emperor Palpatine, no one to become Vader because Anakin and Emperor Palpatine are dead, no Luke and Leia, Han Solo would probably be dead, no Leia + no Han = no Kylo Ren (Ben Solo), and the Jedi order would probably still exist. No Anakin, no Star Wars.
Downton 654 To me it sounds more like "Why couldn't I save her". It doesn't matter, I looked up the lyrics. The song is written in Sanskrit, and those particular two lines don't have any translated meaning.
You will try... *lightsaber extends. A few moments later... George Lucas: Where is character development, is she safe, is she alright? Palpatine: It seems in your anger... You killed her. P.S. Well Played ;).
During Anakin and Obi Wan fight, audio cuts off for a brief moment due to copy right claim. If it wouldn't have been removed the video would of been blocked world wide. Also, I forgot to include 1 or 2 duels, my bad. And yes, Obi Wan against Jango Fett not a lightsaber duel but I put it in any ways. There goes your answers. Hope you can still enjoy the vid. :D (bruh.)
Anakin saves his master from death by a red lightsaber using a green one; 20 years later he'll save his master from death by a green lightsaber using a red one.
Anakin saved Kenobi from the red lightsaber of Dooku with his green lightsaber and 20 years later he saved the Emperor with a red lightsaber from Luke's green lightsaber?
+DiesL my take on the comment is anakin saved Ben from dooku's red saber with a green one and in the last fight he saved his new master Luke (because he taught him to let go of his anger and come to the light side) from death by a green lightsaber because the emperor would have used Luke's to kill him
Each Lightsaber duel in each of the three trilogies have something in it, anything entertains me. But the tie of the duels has to be: Luke vs Vader on Bespin or Anakin vs Obi Wan on Mustafar.
Yes but it kind of makes them worst imo. I'd say the fight in the old ones are not in the lightsabers but in the feelings the opponents are trying to trigger on each other, a more force-focused fight.
RE: OT more 'realistic' swordplay, PT less 'realistic'. The original trilogy's swordplay was based off the slower combat of the Japanese jidaigeki samurai film from the 1950s. We all know that Lucas was highly influenced by Kurosawa's 's Hidden Fortress, for example. Some people mention that the PT trilogy is more influenced by 'kung-fu' movies or 'martial-arts movies'... What few people bother to unearth, is that the prequels had been CLEARLY influenced by the fast-paced, dance-like choreography of Chinese wuxia film (an associated genre to 'kung-fu' film, but not the same) that really came into its own in western markets AFTER RotJ in the 1980s. Lucas was reportedly impressed by the choreography of Sammo Hung's Moon Warriors (1993). The early 90s had a lot of wuxia film being pumped out (critics refer to it as the New Wave of Wuxia), and it wouldn't be a stretch to say Lucas was also inspired by New Dragon Gate Inn (1992), Swordsman 2 (1992) and earlier swordplay flicks like Last Hurrah for Chivalry (1979). Afterall, Lucas consumed A LOT of East-Asian material for SW, both in the originals and prequels: philosophy and costuming as well as swordfighting. Both the OT and PT have different fighting styles rooted in East-Asian martial-arts film: one Japanese, one Chinese. We shouldn't need to discuss which set of films have 'more realistic' fighting, it's besides the point in a fantasy sci-fi series. Can we not just learn to appreciate both? TL;DR: OT = jidaigeki samurai fights, PT: wuxia swordplay fights
OT fights were old men, human machines, and young kids fighting PT were highly trained combatants going against eachother makes sense that they're different
YOU SIR ARE AWESOME! just finished watching all the way through and thankyou for compiling the best part of STARWARS in HD your video is far superior to the most watched lightsaber compilation and i will recomend it to everyone. P.S My favorite has to be Anakin Vs Obi Wan. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.
the original trilogy is so cinematic and each duel holds so much weight. You can see the high stakes in ben's eyes and fader's dialog shows the score. Empire's is so atmospheric, suspenseful and gritty. Although the prequel trilogy's duels are nice to look at they're shallow and look like a tv special rather than a movie going experience.
Man, coming back and hearing Luke tell the Emperor "I'm a Jedi, like my father before me", and than witnessing the ABSOLUTE character assassination of Luke in The Last Jedi, it makes me appreciate the OG trilogy even more....
Fair to say that Grievous could've taken the opportunity to get in his ship and flee, but his over confidence consumed him into finishing Obi-Wan off, leading to his demise
kamodio 111 I think when he saw Luke, he realized he would be the one to destroy the Sith and bring balance. Plus he practiced immortality, so why the fuck not just die??? 😄
I think for the most part, the prequel duels are much too choreographed and flashy. But the dialogue between Obi-Wan and Anakin in their final battle is so wonderfully written and resonates so well within the context of the Star Wars universe in general, I forgive some of the stupid jumping around and deliberate lightsaber showoff bullcrap in a vain attempt to make it look more epic. I almost always get a little too emotional when Anakin is burning to death and the dialogue that occurs between he and Obi-Wan, that shit is brutal with his legs bursting to flame; it's almost rated-R material!
That's how Jedi and Sith fights are supposed to be. They're superhumans that physically augment themselves with the force and usually train in at least one of 7 light saber based martial arts. As you probably know, the reason why the OT wasn't flashy was because 1.) This was untouched territory, never been done before, 2.) Limited to what the actors could do. (The Vader suit was heavy and Obi Wan was old. We saw that Luke was more active then both of them in eps 5 and 6 duels as he was less restricted/younger)
That reminds me, if you don't count Rey and Kylo vs snoke guards, the only lightsaber duel in the last jedi was in Luke's flashback which lasted 1 clash
You were my brother Anakin, I loved you... That's why I'll let you burn in the lava and not give you a clean death. Now if you'll pardon me I'll leave you here and presume you died on this planet.
58:52 Luke: Its over father! I have the high ground. Vader: SHUT UP! I AIN'T FALLIN' FOR DAT SHIT AGAIN! And did Obi Wan really have to teach you that?! Yoda's ghost: Trust him you must, hm? Vader: SHUT UP YOU GREEN LIL' GOAT HEAD! Yoda's ghost: Hate leads to anger, and anger leads to suffering..... Vader: Oh, stop repeating yourself.... Obi Wan's ghost: Ok Anakin, it's actually over.... He has the high ground, just give up already.... Remember what I had done to you? (Vader jumps to Luke and looses his arm) Vader: AGHH Obi Wan's ghost: 3rd broken limb.... (Palpatine gets angry and strikes Vader with lightning....) Yoda's ghost: Correct, I was. To be continued.... (Reply you must and continues the story, hm?
The Obi-Wan vs Darth Vader duel in ANH has always been pretty lame but seeing back to back with the Anakin vs Obi-Wan duel from ROTS makes it ten times better and really gets to me.
Best Lightsaber Duels (Choreography) 1. Anakin vs Obi-Wan 2. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs Darth Maul 3. Luke vs Darth Vader (Ep V) 4. Luke vs Darth Vader (Ep VI) 5. Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda vs Count Dooku 6. Darth Vader vs Obi-Wan Best Lightsaber Duels (Emotional) 1. Luke vs Darth Vader (Ep VI) 2. Darth Vader vs Obi-Wan 3. Luke vs Darth Vader (Ep V) 4. Anakin vs Obi-Wan 5. Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda vs Count Dooku 6. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs Darth Maul For the last two picks, the Episode II duel at least has the fact that Count Dooku has killed many Jedi at this point in the film, so the audience not liking him and caring at least a little bit about who wins the duel is a given. In Episode I, no one knows or cares who Darth Maul is or why he's fighting the Jedi. The sole motivation in the duel is that we don't really want the Jedi to die.
Something I’ve noticed with 54:31 - 54:46 is that when Darth Vader talks the music becomes very smooth but whenever Luke talks the music Is Big And Drummy , It represents how They feel , Vader feels calm about the situation while Luke feels angry and Scared , Really Clever of George to put that theme in.
I think anyone would turn to the dark side if they were cut down beside a river of lava as their oldest of friends looked down on them without moving a muscle to give them aid. You see that his eyes only see the darkness completely(turn yellow) when he is lying there wailing in agony. Obi wan could have stopped so much if he wasn't blinded by the pain of Anakins betrayal at the Jedi temple.
But he had already turned to the dark side. Yes during the duel they were blue but I think they actually were yellow when he killed Nute Gunray and the Separatists. They turned back to blue when he went to Padme's ship but then of course he force choked her.
in all honesty I LIKED the prequels Loved the originals more but as a little kid thought the actiony scenes with the prequels were cool as fuck,can't wait for VIII
@ASHTON BARKER Phasma's armor was salvaged from a Naboo Yacht just like the one we see in the video, but not from Padme's ship. Phasma's armor came from Palpatine's personal Yacht, which happened to be the same ship class. She wore it as a symbol of past power.
i genuinely dont know if cutting to black as Vader takes his first breath is better than how that actual scene goes but DAAAAAAANG that was nice. also, i just realized why they gave Palpatine two lightsabers to fight Maul and Savage in the Clone Wars, because in his fight against Mace, his lightsaber goes out the window, but then he still has it against Yoda later in the film. so either he went all the way down to the bottom of the senate building to pick it up, or (more likely, considering his character) he just left it and used his second one. just had some clone go grab it for him so no senators would accidentally find it, not that he'd even care at that point. so many dead jedi littering the streets nobody would even think twice about it. i have always loved the final duel between Luke and Vader. specifically the music. A Jedi's Fury is one of the most expressive, heart wrenching pieces of music i have ever heard play in a film. every single aspect of this fight is the absolute climax of the entire trilogy. it, above all else, tells you just so well that this IS the end. this is the final duel. this is where all things will be decided. and every single part of it is tailored specifically to that end, and it is _beeeeautiful._
Thanks to this, I am now all caught up on the Star Wars series; never had the patience to sit through the bad CGI (by today's standards of course) that were the earlier movies. :)

Alistair Arrow Not really. If you went into a fight like the do in the prequels you wouldn't last very long. The fights in the OT and TFA are much more realistic. I like both tho.
Thanks for making (and sharing) this lightsaber duel "mix tape". I know a lot of people love the prequels but aside from a rare moment here or there, they're really hard to watch.
Always loved how Yoda limps into the cave/hanger; Anakin and Obi Wan don't see any of his prowess, as they awake, he summons his cane, and goes back to faking the old "man" routine. Absolute genius he is.
30:59 WTF! THE WHOLE REASON ANAKIN WENT TO THE DARK SIDE WAS BECAUSE HE WANTED PADME TO LIVE. Then he just choked Padme. Then once he gets his suit he cares about her again. o_o
Mix of Vader act and Anakin. Anakin wanted her to join him, when he began thinking that she was on the Jedi's side he began moving into the shoes of his Vader identity. Once it was revealed that Obi-Wan followed her, Vader took over and strangled Padme. In the end, when "Anakin" asked if she was alright, and was told she died, he lost base of his only good side. Pretty much, right after learning of Padme's death you can safely say that is was then when Anakin officially became Darth Vader. It's like how Kylo Ren from the force awakens had to let go of his only path to the light as Ben Solo so he destroyed one of the two connections left open for him to return to the light (which are his father Han Solo and mother Leia) This maybe a fan theory but it's a justifiable explanation.
my top 10: 1. Vader vs Obi wan (Ep iii) 2. Vader vs Luke (Ep vi) 3. Darth Maul vs Jinn and Kenobi 4. Vader vs Ahsoka 5. Palpatine vs Yoda 6.Vader vs Luke (Ep v) 7. Palpatine vs Savage and Maul 8. Palpatine vs Windu 9. visla vs maul 10. Yoda vs r2d2 i like all the lightsaber fights in movies and animation except for Vader vs old Ben. Let's face it guys, that movie was one of the best but the duel was shit for today's standards. Was way too slow, no emotion to make up for it. "omg it's so emotional!1!1!1!1!!" only reason why that fight holds emotion is thanks to the mustafar right
I always loved how Obi Wan kind of gasps a little a few seconds before he see's Qui Gon die. He see's his masters mistake and knows where it's going. This shows how he was a better duelist than his master, and probably would be a better jedi, could plan ahead much better while fighting.
For some reason I can't help but laugh at 9:40 when that clone tries to be cool and get of the ship with obi wan and Anakin, but ends up getting shot and falls off the platform immediately.

people can say whatever they want about the prequels, and its true that they're not the best star wars movies by a longshot, but Obi-wan vs Anakin at Mustafar is the best lightsaber battle in the whole saga
Yeah, even though it looks unrealistic, flashy, and looks like a dance battle.
CybermanFordStrikesBack thats how lightsaber combat was.
What do you prefer the one where the emotion didn't make sense
CybermanFordStrikesBack how is any part of Star Wars realistic? Lmao yes it was extremely choreographed but very well done.
CybermanFordStrikesBack Right, because the most powerful Jedi and Sith users in the Galaxy fighting like a bunch of old retired veterans from Episode IV was way more realistic.
Revenge of the Sith is so unappreciated
The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones are pretty underappreciated as well ;)

Best explanation is Obi Wan used the force to sort of stun Maul into a mini coma where he couldn't move, as ObiWan leaped over him... and then Maul simply watched Stunned as We all were as the lightsaber sliced through him.

yes indeed
i mean hes agile and quick and has a unique curved hilt but this one goes to malgus
Especially in cw
If you read Son of Dathomir, he’s such a boss
Say what you will, but the prequel duels brought more action than the original trilogy
FINALLY SOMEONE THAT UNDERSTANDS!!!!
Too bad all the action was bad CGI and no realism.
Yes but it kind of makes them worst imo. I'd say the fight in the old ones are not in the lightsabers but in the feelings the opponents are trying to trigger on each other, a more force-focused fight.
Except episode 4 showed no real emotion

tfw the TL;DR section is actually longer than the first part
+Leon Price Fair play haha Edited it around.
Bloody useless *HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIT!*
OT fights were old men, human machines, and young kids fighting
PT were highly trained combatants going against eachother
makes sense that they're different
Yoda The in-universe explanation, that is. ;) I thought I'd provide the stylistic explanation.
I've watched through this twice now! Amazing!
The lightsaber duelists of The Clone Wars, or even The First Galactic Civil War, could beat Kylo Ren or Rey easily.
I feel like Luke Skywalker from ESB would mop the foor with kyo ren and ray
Kylo Ren wasn’t fully trained and Rey is completely untrained so yeah
So true
They never learned to fight with a light saber, so it's realistic.

kamodio 111 I think when he saw Luke, he realized he would be the one to destroy the Sith and bring balance. Plus he practiced immortality, so why the fuck not just die??? 😄
I think for the most part, the prequel duels are much too choreographed and flashy. But the dialogue between Obi-Wan and Anakin in their final battle is so wonderfully written and resonates so well within the context of the Star Wars universe in general, I forgive some of the stupid jumping around and deliberate lightsaber showoff bullcrap in a vain attempt to make it look more epic. I almost always get a little too emotional when Anakin is burning to death and the dialogue that occurs between he and Obi-Wan, that shit is brutal with his legs bursting to flame; it's almost rated-R material!
When one learns about the intricacies in lightsaber combat and gains knowledge in the seven forms it is rather graceful
That's how Jedi and Sith fights are supposed to be. They're superhumans that physically augment themselves with the force and usually train in at least one of 7 light saber based martial arts. As you probably know, the reason why the OT wasn't flashy was because 1.) This was untouched territory, never been done before, 2.) Limited to what the actors could do. (The Vader suit was heavy and Obi Wan was old. We saw that Luke was more active then both of them in eps 5 and 6 duels as he was less restricted/younger)
KrisJM1234 there when the jedi and sith were highly trained and at the height of power of course there gonna be professional and fast pace about it
You forgot Luke vs Vader in Dark Side Cave on Dagobah (It may have been an illusion but it still involved lightsabers clashing)
I agree
Also forgot Han Solo vs.Tauntaun
That reminds me, if you don't count Rey and Kylo vs snoke guards, the only lightsaber duel in the last jedi was in Luke's flashback which lasted 1 clash
Touching. At the end the luminous side of the force prevails. Let the force be with you, brothers and sisters
I love that sound Sith lightsabers make when you ignite them
You were my brother Anakin, I loved you... That's why I'll let you burn in the lava and not give you a clean death. Now if you'll pardon me I'll leave you here and presume you died on this planet.
He couldn't kill him because Jedi never kill those with less defense, that's not nice.
GMD JNok
was a joke lel
+Vincent Claveau really what did Anakin do to Douku then he killed him when he had no weapon
HIGH GROUND!!!
I'm gonna take your lightsaber too,yep,good night.
58:52
Luke: Its over father! I have the high ground.
Vader: SHUT UP! I AIN'T FALLIN' FOR DAT SHIT AGAIN! And did Obi Wan really have to teach you that?!
Yoda's ghost: Trust him you must, hm?
Vader: SHUT UP YOU GREEN LIL' GOAT HEAD!
Yoda's ghost: Hate leads to anger, and anger leads to suffering.....
Vader: Oh, stop repeating yourself....
Obi Wan's ghost: Ok Anakin, it's actually over.... He has the high ground, just give up already.... Remember what I had done to you?
(Vader jumps to Luke and looses his arm)
Vader: AGHH
Obi Wan's ghost: 3rd broken limb....
(Palpatine gets angry and strikes Vader with lightning....)
Yoda's ghost: Correct, I was.
To be continued.... (Reply you must and continues the story, hm?
Colin Tam 27 hahahahahahaha
Cat shit starts orbiting the 3rd star from the centre of The Galaxy
Excited, I am for Episode VIII.
Master Yoda your dead
Secret Shopper ur a shit gobblegum
Xpertfusion fuck off
Luke was dead
Erik Demevalos disappointed, you must have been
This just underlines how much better movies 1,2 and 3 were than 7,8 and probably 9 are/will be.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Nexgen Make an updated one with Ren VS Finn/Rey please?
Nexgen BOI when I grow up I'm gunna be ending like obi-wan
Nexgen merry Christmas nexgen
Nexgen marry Christmas
Merry cristmes no its easter
The Obi-Wan vs Darth Vader duel in ANH has always been pretty lame but seeing back to back with the Anakin vs Obi-Wan duel from ROTS makes it ten times better and really gets to me.
No it wasn't lame in 1977
Darth Vader Yes it was
Maisie Ridley anakin and obi wan were old and hadn't had a duel for ages. Course it was lame, they were weaker and less agile.
This is a better version of Obi wan Vs Vader - th-cam.com/video/tOBMJJSe66g/w-d-xo.html
Stephen Berry Vader was killing Jedi for nearly 20 years before the Obi-Wan duel. Trust me he wasn't rusty...
may the mass times acceleration be with you
Ahahahahhahaa
LOL because mass×acceleration=force! That's a fact.
OH is that from the science wars? I forgot the channel name!
+MLP Fanatic I learned that fact in my school.
EnderSteve 915 same
I swear if Yoda was younger like 350yrs with two lightsabers, he would be freaky fast.
Younger. And 350 years. Not the best couple.
Tamriel Gamer he was in his 800s or 900s in the movies
Nega Nail with a Moustache If Yoda were younger*
Patrick O'Gara I believe somewhere around 900 in the prequels and 930 in the originals
"Only a sith deals in absolutes, I will do what I must." Obi-goat
Amazing. Great job! felt like I just watched all the movies in an hour!
great video,even tho i can't see how Obi-Wan vs Jango is a lightsaber duel.
Or luke v boba
Best Lightsaber Duels (Choreography)
1. Anakin vs Obi-Wan
2. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs Darth Maul
3. Luke vs Darth Vader (Ep V)
4. Luke vs Darth Vader (Ep VI)
5. Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda vs Count Dooku
6. Darth Vader vs Obi-Wan
Best Lightsaber Duels (Emotional)
1. Luke vs Darth Vader (Ep VI)
2. Darth Vader vs Obi-Wan
3. Luke vs Darth Vader (Ep V)
4. Anakin vs Obi-Wan
5. Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda vs Count Dooku
6. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs Darth Maul
For the last two picks, the Episode II duel at least has the fact that Count Dooku has killed many Jedi at this point in the film, so the audience not liking him and caring at least a little bit about who wins the duel is a given. In Episode I, no one knows or cares who Darth Maul is or why he's fighting the Jedi. The sole motivation in the duel is that we don't really want the Jedi to die.
All you need to win a light saber dual is have the high ground
Tell that to Maul he lost with the high ground
AND the high ground
That makes no sense, I wish to join the dark side and see what happens to force read your mind If you make no sense at all.
you can say whatever you want about the prequels but the Lightsaber battles were amazing!
How can anyone dislike this???
star trek fans
No, the prequels.
ask the 173 people that disliked the video
54:31 - 54:46 Best Moment In All of TV and Cinematic history.
Something I’ve noticed with 54:31 - 54:46 is that when Darth Vader talks the music becomes very smooth but whenever Luke talks the music Is Big And Drummy , It represents how They feel , Vader feels calm about the situation while Luke feels angry and Scared , Really Clever of George to put that theme in.
About time we see the man in green himself fight against dooku
I think anyone would turn to the dark side if they were cut down beside a river of lava as their oldest of friends looked down on them without moving a muscle to give them aid. You see that his eyes only see the darkness completely(turn yellow) when he is lying there wailing in agony. Obi wan could have stopped so much if he wasn't blinded by the pain of Anakins betrayal at the Jedi temple.
just say sorry and theyll forgive you especially if you give them a cookie and hot chocolate
But he had already turned to the dark side. Yes during the duel they were blue but I think they actually were yellow when he killed Nute Gunray and the Separatists. They turned back to blue when he went to Padme's ship but then of course he force choked her.
I think everyone is a sith because when some one you love dies you will always be sad and mad.
I don't get why people dislike the use of so much CGI, it doesn't look that bad
+Ryan Murphy There actually isn't as much CGI as people say there is. In fact, the Prequels use more props than the Original trilogy.
+Chancellor Supreme Bullshit
+Chancellor Supreme I can easily call bullshit on that 100%.

Videos like this are a reminder of a time when the series was great 😢
Before the dark times... Before Kathleen Kennedy....
Thanks for a great show reel there. Really enjoyed that 👍
in all honesty I LIKED the prequels
Loved the originals more but as a little kid thought the actiony scenes with the prequels were cool as fuck,can't wait for VIII
the sacred texts!
Fun fact:
that silver ship that young anakin gets on in EP1 later becomes captain phasma's armor after they dismantle it.
Federal agent Holton wow I'm huge Star Wars fan but I never knew that
@ASHTON BARKER Phasma's armor was salvaged from a Naboo Yacht just like the one we see in the video, but not from Padme's ship. Phasma's armor came from Palpatine's personal Yacht, which happened to be the same ship class. She wore it as a symbol of past power.
26:05-26:07
the scariest moment in all of star wars
lol
Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrraaaaaahh!
i genuinely dont know if cutting to black as Vader takes his first breath is better than how that actual scene goes but DAAAAAAANG that was nice.
also, i just realized why they gave Palpatine two lightsabers to fight Maul and Savage in the Clone Wars, because in his fight against Mace, his lightsaber goes out the window, but then he still has it against Yoda later in the film. so either he went all the way down to the bottom of the senate building to pick it up, or (more likely, considering his character) he just left it and used his second one. just had some clone go grab it for him so no senators would accidentally find it, not that he'd even care at that point. so many dead jedi littering the streets nobody would even think twice about it.
i have always loved the final duel between Luke and Vader. specifically the music. A Jedi's Fury is one of the most expressive, heart wrenching pieces of music i have ever heard play in a film. every single aspect of this fight is the absolute climax of the entire trilogy. it, above all else, tells you just so well that this IS the end. this is the final duel. this is where all things will be decided. and every single part of it is tailored specifically to that end, and it is _beeeeautiful._
Thanks to this, I am now all caught up on the Star Wars series; never had the patience to sit through the bad CGI (by today's standards of course) that were the earlier movies. :)
I love general grievous
me to
I find it really interesting because it shows that it's possible to fight a Jedi with no force based lightsaber skills

Say what you will about the prequels, they had amazingly fun and well choreographed duels
I appreciate the smooth transitions between scenes in this. It's a nice extra touch!
Yoda:master of circus
Obi wan kenobi:master of trolling
Anakin Skywalker:master of destraction
I just love Star Wars!
It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!
From my point of view you have the lava ground! LAVA GROUND!
stop it! well from my point of view you have the LAVA GROUND! okay I get it!
KeybladeWielderXV haha hische be like
nice quoting how it should have ended
Victor De Ridder nice spelling
i liked episode 1-3 lightsaber duels because they are what it should be fast paced and deadly not the slow stuff form episodes 4-7
So do I, I think episode 3s lightsaber dueling really killed it
Alistair Arrow Not really. If you went into a fight like the do in the prequels you wouldn't last very long. The fights in the OT and TFA are much more realistic. I like both tho.
Isaac Howell yeah I gusse your right
there is no realistic in starwars shut up
5 and 6 had good lightsaber battles and also kylo vs finn was good, but not kylo vs rey that fight was garbage
I like how you end each saber duel with that sound and transition to the next battle. very cool editing
I feel like the prequel soundtracks were more intense, but that is just me.
Anyway thanks for the video!
Grevice looked like a devil before dying .-.
so evil
sartain?
you can see dust particles coming out of the light saber in the fight of obi wan vs vader.
Yr reaction when playing multiplayer in a good round and WIFI is disconnected: 53:41
When You Finally Got Revenge On Your Nemesis On A Sword Fight 1:01:19
Thanks for making (and sharing) this lightsaber duel "mix tape". I know a lot of people love the prequels but aside from a rare moment here or there, they're really hard to watch.
Lol you should've included mace Windu vs Jango fett
w by at
+Rogan Slocombe what
+TheBurgerHut7 this video is Lightsaber duals not all battles including blaster battles etc
+monster high bgc it's a joke buddy. And you spelled duel wrong
+TheBurgerHut7 OK but you knew what I meant right 😏
Luke: Your powers are weak and predictable.
Vader: Son of a--- 49:38
Amazing series. About 15 hours of film. Yet only an hour of lightsaber fights😪
59:37 to 1:01:30 best scene in the entire Star Wars franchise , the music gets me every time, superbly done
Always loved how Yoda limps into the cave/hanger; Anakin and Obi Wan don't see any of his prowess, as they awake, he summons his cane, and goes back to faking the old "man" routine. Absolute genius he is.
Best part... No jar jar binks
Lol
indeed
30:59 WTF! THE WHOLE REASON ANAKIN WENT TO THE DARK SIDE WAS BECAUSE HE WANTED PADME TO LIVE. Then he just choked Padme. Then once he gets his suit he cares about her again. o_o
No because they had cookies but when he noticed light side has waffles He turned light but it was too late
Republic waffles are no good out here
Mix of Vader act and Anakin. Anakin wanted her to join him, when he began thinking that she was on the Jedi's side he began moving into the shoes of his Vader identity. Once it was revealed that Obi-Wan followed her, Vader took over and strangled Padme. In the end, when "Anakin" asked if she was alright, and was told she died, he lost base of his only good side. Pretty much, right after learning of Padme's death you can safely say that is was then when Anakin officially became Darth Vader.
It's like how Kylo Ren from the force awakens had to let go of his only path to the light as Ben Solo so he destroyed one of the two connections left open for him to return to the light (which are his father Han Solo and mother Leia)
This maybe a fan theory but it's a justifiable explanation.
my top 10:
1. Vader vs Obi wan (Ep iii)
2. Vader vs Luke (Ep vi)
3. Darth Maul vs Jinn and Kenobi
4. Vader vs Ahsoka
5. Palpatine vs Yoda
6.Vader vs Luke (Ep v)
7. Palpatine vs Savage and Maul
8. Palpatine vs Windu
9. visla vs maul
10. Yoda vs r2d2
i like all the lightsaber fights in movies and animation except for Vader vs old Ben. Let's face it guys, that movie was one of the best but the duel was shit for today's standards. Was way too slow, no emotion to make up for it. "omg it's so emotional!1!1!1!1!!" only reason why that fight holds emotion is thanks to the mustafar right
Yoda i haven't thinked that it is someone called Savage, HAHA
Yoda HIS NAME IS SAVAGE LOL
yoda vs r2d2 XD
I don't think Yoda would fight a robot.
Je i know r2d2 stol somting van yoda hahahaha
I love the Counts way of fighting. Elegance and grace, mixed with precision, and calculation.
I always loved how Obi Wan kind of gasps a little a few seconds before he see's Qui Gon die. He see's his masters mistake and knows where it's going. This shows how he was a better duelist than his master, and probably would be a better jedi, could plan ahead much better while fighting.
it is sad how original fanboys forget about how awesome the prequel lightsaber duels were
Nexgen, I have to profess my love to you for this. Like...
I love you.
For some reason I can't help but laugh at 9:40 when that clone tries to be cool and get of the ship with obi wan and Anakin, but ends up getting shot and falls off the platform immediately.
so glad the music cuts out for like 30 seconds during the obi wan vs Anakin fight and Yoda vs sidious fight
I like 5:11 when Obi blocks dearth maul slow down to 0.25 to see coolness
