Thank you all for getting this video to 200K views. I greatly appreciate this. I never expected one of my videos to be this popular. Thank you for all the likes as well . ♥️ Thank you
Sure, the dramatic import of that duel is...compelling. But live action has yet to approach even the decades old Tartakovsky's 2D take. (Sadder still, even the panels in the graphic novels are more thrilling than what appears in live action.)
Sidious vs Maul & Savage is my favorite clone wars duel. They captured the pure power of Palpatine and Maul's fear. Lots of character and lore in that one fight scene.
As much as there is to criticize about the confrontation between Master Yoda and Count Dooku, I would still put this fight into this collection. The meer squirliness of Yoda is iconic and depicts a totally different picture of a lightsabre fighting style than envisioned anywhere before in the Star Wars movies. This alone makes it worth to be implemented in a colletion like this.
I'd add here 2 more fights - Luke vs Vader from Episode 6 - yes, it was not a masterpiece from choreographic perspective, but all these years later I can still feel emotions inside that fight, burning anger and sadness of Luke and Anakin. And also I would add re-match between Obi-Wan and Maul. It is super boring from the perspective of visual part, but from Lore perspective it's a super masterpiece - cause Obi-Wan tricked Maul into attacking him exact the way he killed Qui-Gon and overskilled him within a moment. Absolute brilliant
The loss of Ven Zallow on Coruscant always makes my heart sink when the realization hits his face as he passes into The Force. Personally however, as to the top 5, I'd place Ashoka's duel w/Maul above Obi-Wan and Vader's fight. I do think I'd keep the order you have though. I'd simply of placed Ashoka/Maul into Obi-Wan/Vader's spot.
Best lightsaber duel in all of Star Wars was Obi-wan vs Maul in Rebels. It harkens back to a true Samurai contest. It showed the evolution of Obi-wan through the years. It revealed why the light is better than the dark side. It was the quintessential essence of what a light saber battle should be.
I didn't realize that kicks were used that much, and to see Qui Gon and Obi Wan get kicked that much in the beginning was a nice refresher since I haven't seen fights like this in a while. Working to number 1 was really impressive and the number one you showed was one I want to revisit the series just to see that again. Nice video!
It’s cool for everyone to like what they do. My favs will always be the live action after the involvement of Ray Park as Darth Maul. He totally upped the game by taking saber duels from back yard broom stick fighting to martial combat. With the animated scenes, speaking only for my own preference, there is such an opportunity to make amazing cinematic duels. Yet they are treated like bad Hollywood live action fight scenes by cutting them up into tiny parts. Cut scenes are the enemy of good fight scenes. Just look at Jackie Chan movies. Very very few cuts. So much is done in one take. That’s a level of visceral energy, danger, and believability as you can see the killing blow coming yet it makes sense why the hero defended against it. With animation the whole thing could be done in one long uncut scene. Think of the gun/knife fight in Atomic Blond! It was insanely intense! Another great example is the bank heist firefight in downtown LA in the movie Heat. No music. Just terrifying gunfire. It was dark and frightening and wonderful!
anakin vs obi-wan is obviously the best i feel thought that the latest lightsaber duel made in the old republic game which malgus vs a human and a twilek does deserve a spot up there
My list 1 Anakin vs Obi wan ROTS 2 Maul and savage vs Palpatine 3 Obi wan vs Darth Vader (Rematch of the century in kenobi) 4: Ahsoka vs Vader 5: Ahsoka vs Maul 6: Maul vs qui gon and obi wan 7: Yoda vs palpatine Rots 8: Obi wan and Anakin vs Dooku 9: Obi wan vs grievous 10: Vader vs Luke Empire RTOJ
Looking back there's no real surprise that Obi-Wan beat Anakin in a lightsabre duel. Anakin is all aggression, power and chaotic fighting style, Obi-Wan is all skill, conviction and a laser focus. Obi-Wan won that fight, as well, because, Fallen or not? He KNOWS Anakin, how he fights, what he'll do, all of it. Anakin, especially Fallen, just believes that he will win because he is stronger and this has to be done. Skill will always win over power, unless you are talking about Gods.
that looked a lot like plot armor to me. Kenobi beating him with a blade is ok but the moment he brings force tricks to play Vader should break Kenobi like a twig if everything they told about Anakin was true. Maybe his emotional status had an effect but his rage is supposed to empower him so I really don't get that.
also, by your logic, Yoda should be able to beat all force users by a lot on account of the huge difference in age, practice and experience he has over everyone. Skill has a huge effect and can equate to some extent but power is king in the end, ask Sidious.
@@omysadat If I recall, Yoda and Sidious actually fought and nearly killed each other. Plus, how many Padawan did he train? Oh, also, Sidious was trained by the only Force user who ever Mastered both Jedi AND Sith powers before he betrayed and killed him. Making him at least 300 years old, probably older. I would wager that Even Yoda had never fought somebody who wielded the Force the way Sidious did-because nobody ever had.
@@Creasy5678 exactly, Sidious had strength backing him and all of Yoda's 800 years (at least, which is still older than Sidious and his master combined) of practice and skills couldn't stop him. And even though jedi do not master the dark side, in 800 years he must have faced and studied enough of the darkside to negate that advantage, he was far from powerless and had access to a considerable amount of studies and knowledge of the force, both dark and light.
My list: 5- Maul and Savage vs Palpatine (CW) 4- Vader vs Ahsoka (Rebels) 3- Vader vs Obiwan (Kenobi) 2- Luke vs Vader (ROTJ) 1- Anakin vs Obiwan (ROTS)
Bruh, the old republic fights were the best ones. They were so freaking crazy because they didnt only use lightsabers in combat but a lot force abilities to wich is rare in the current movies or even the ones of the new republic.
Your choices are all great, and I know it's not canon, but the "SC 38 Reimagined" battle is EXACTLY what Star Wars: A New Hope should have had instead of the stilted fencing match we got. It would have been magnificent, and it would have made the movie more iconic that it was.
You do realize that movie was from the 70s? There were barely tv remotes back then. George even had to go back several years later and do basic things like tweak the explosion of Alderaan, because the technology didn't exist to do it how he wanted. The movie was also 30% over budget. It almost didn't get finished.
@@mrbear1302 I can't recall which interview, but I watched one where George Lucas said when they did the first saber fight, the idea was that the sabers were actually heavy, and took a lot of strength to swing around.
1:33 What I love about Vader he doesn’t do a bunch of fancy twirls and flourishes, he ignites and gets right to business and stays on it with zero extra flare.
What makes Star Wars so awesome for me is the lightsaber combat and force abilities, I could watch battles all day long Hope we get some amazing games focused on that side of Star Wars at some point
@@Victard If you love Lightsaber combat and Force abilities, I strongly recommend you to play "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" (2008). It's the game that inspired "Jedi Fallen Order" 😁👍🏼...
Why is it that the older movies have 10x better lightsaber battles than the new ones lol. Next star wars content should be old republic era and top tier animated. The animated fights are epic as fuck, though obi vs anakin was super spicy too
It’s probably because the newer fights are not as fluid and as fast as the prequel fights. During the filming of the prequels, the actors were given lightsabers with a thin metal rod for a blade, so they could swing it quickly and smoothly. I think there was a report or interview that said they had to replace the lightsabers often because the metal rods would keep being bent out of shape. The Disney era? They use light-up baseball bats… I’m not even kidding. Looks cheesy as fuck while filming and makes the fight scenes much worse, needing to pull back before swinging, exerting more effort to swing them, thus slowing down the entire duel. I get that they were trying to add the light reflection from the lightsaber on the actors’ face, but it’s not worth it.
I think the scene 38 reimagined is my favorite lightsaber duel. I don't know if fan film/choreography counts, because the Ryan vs Brandon fights are also pretty incredible.
Literal chills watching the SWTOR fight scenes with the music on. Young Malgus with his Master is my favorite fight but nothing can beat the epicness of the "WE HAVE RETURNED" line in the Deceived trailer.
I think both Vader and Obi Wan was doing tons of feint attacks in that moment before putting in the decisive strike It used to be ridiculous until someone mentioned that to me
MY TOP 5 1. OBI WAN VS. ANAKIN (ROTS) 2. YODA VS. THE COUNT 3. OBI WAN VS. GREVIOUS 4. MAUL / SAVAGE OPPRESS VS. SIDIOUS 5. AHSOKA VS. MORGAN ELSBETH (MANDALORIAN)
god if olny we got to see a lightsaber duel like the one for the old republic in any live action im telling you it would literallt break the internet and starwars fans alike will rejoice
My top 5: 5: Qway-Gon & Obi-wan VS Darth Maul (Epizode 1) 4: Sateel Shan VS Darth Malgus (SWTOR cinematic on Alderaan) 3: Greewoos VS Jedi's (Tartakovskiy's Clone wars) 2: Sateel Shan & her Master VS Malgus & his Master (swtor cinematic) 1: Anaken VS Obi-wan (Epizode 3)
Imo it’s crazy how Anakin vs. Obi-wan (mustafar) still outshines the animated fights where there is so much more potential with choreography. The amount of effort to create such a near perfect lightsaber fight must have been insane, and will probably forever be the best of all time. Although I disagree that Obi-wan vs. Vader deserves a spot in top 5, it should probably be replaced with Windu vs. Palpatine.
Mace Windu vs Dooku on the big screen would have been epic, and most importantly, we wouldn't know who would win! We would know they're both for the chop, but WHEN...
Someone told me along time ago that starwars fights between Jedi and sith are just like Anime fights. They're moving so fat that we're not even supposed to comprehend what's going on. This just tells you that jedi and sith are OP in general.
I recommend you to see it twice, its literal pure epicness for 8 minutes straight. In addition to that, John Williams did the best music humanity has ever heard,
Of course, you save the best for last Anakin versus Obi-Wan 👌🏾💯💯👌🏾 Seeing the fight scene in “Star Wars the old Republic” I heard it was a game I’ve never played it but the fight slow motion scene was way better like it looks very amazing I wish they could’ve done that in the clone wars series like let it be some slow motion like anytime who is fighting who and which they could do a series of it of the old Republic just like in the clone wars
During the Darach Vs Malgus & Vindican, I feel the three of them use different lightsaber forms one from another. Darach's use of the force and various movements suggest Niman, but he's very physical and acrobatic in offensive as much as defensive, so I'll go with Ataru. Malgus, to me, is obviously either a Form V or VII duelist, but his moves rely more on powerful blows so I'd go with V. (Still can't make the difference between V and VII) Vindican uses a lot of protective blade motion that suggests form III and his strikes seem pretty deliberate and straightforward (in comparison), so that could suggest form I as well.
@@darryladams6780 why was it that Malgus couldn't just wipe the floor with him when it was a 1v2? His partner got stabbed then the Jedi was reeking of fear at the sight of Malgus, like all of a sudden he was completely outmatched. I don't know too much of the star wars lore but it just seemed like the Jedi went from being able to handle himself pretty well to straight panic mode
@@soul7074 that makes sense but... these are Jedis we are talking about, plus the adrenaline should allow them to have a pretty good stamina. Malgus was about to kill the padawan pretty early in the fight so he was handling his business. I thought it was just weird that the tide completely turned, was he known for dual wielding? Every trailer and thing that I've seen of Malgus he only uses one lightsaber so I just want to know lol
The anakin training scene in Kenobi is decent when put together And if we're gonna be honest, the sequels gave us the BEST visuals, and that includes with duels. The forest fight had next level graphics, the throne room had decent choreography, rey and kylos fight when the waves were crashing, visually really good

She fights better than that old republic shit
Battlemaster Kao Cen Darach and Darth Malgus dual wielding a "regular" lightsaber and a double-bladed saber in their fight is so badass.
The Ahsoka/ Maul fight is great… as well as Sidious vs Maul and Savage
I like both, however, I think Ahsoka is not on the skill level to defeat DARTH MAUL.
Sidious vs Maul & Savage is my favorite clone wars duel. They captured the pure power of Palpatine and Maul's fear. Lots of character and lore in that one fight scene.

The remake of Vader vs obiwan from new hope is epic also
Could maul have won otherwise ?
Old Republic alone can be their own movies. Obiwan vs Anakin is my favorite Duel by far.
The loss of Ven Zallow on Coruscant always makes my heart sink when the realization hits his face as he passes into The Force. Personally however, as to the top 5, I'd place Ashoka's duel w/Maul above Obi-Wan and Vader's fight. I do think I'd keep the order you have though.

Agreed, that's one of the best fights but I'd place it second. It definitely deserves a top 3 at least
"You were decived,ad your Republic will fall"...Timely...
May God spare us from that misery.
Master Satele v Lord Malgus in the last of the original TOR trailers deserved honorable mention at least.
Best lightsaber duel in all of Star Wars was Obi-wan vs Maul in Rebels. It harkens back to a true Samurai contest. It showed the evolution of Obi-wan through the years. It revealed why the light is better than the dark side. It was the quintessential essence of what a light saber battle should be.
I'm a maul fan but I will admit obi-wan did his thing in that short exchange 👍🏿🍻

its so weird seeing malgus without his iconic mask
The best duels we’re on the CGI of the Old Republic!!!!
Totally agree 👍👍
Old Republic cinematics WERE IT.
They continue to age like fine wine.
They do indeed
"Your strength has returned...though your _weakness_ remains!" still goes hard.
old republic sith/jedi leaders were built different
I would have added the fight between sidious, maul and savage oppress on here as well. All in all great video!
Lightsaber fights in the Old Republic are far superior
The Battle of Hypori and Anakin vs. Ajajj Ventress in the 2003 clone wars is pretty great.
I think seeing an old Yoda (vs Doku) really fight for the first time was really memorable.
The fight against Darth Bane would be a good one to show
Anakin vs Obi-wan is on whole another level🔥🔥
I also would add the asoka vs maul in the CW last season, i really enjoyed that fight
These are some really good fights. We needed to include the final fight between Vader and Luke.
I think the scene 38 reimagined is my favorite lightsaber duel.
I don't know if fan film/choreography counts, because the Ryan vs Brandon fights are also pretty incredible.
Literal chills watching the SWTOR fight scenes with the music on. Young Malgus with his Master is my favorite fight but nothing can beat the epicness of the "WE HAVE RETURNED" line in the Deceived trailer.
Yea the blade flourish from Vader v Kenobi in RotS is goofy but that fight has some of the best fight choreography I've ever seen in media.
I think both Vader and Obi Wan was doing tons of feint attacks in that moment before putting in the decisive strike
It used to be ridiculous until someone mentioned that to me
A live action version of Malgus sacking the Jedi temple would be amazing !
Excellent choices. Inspiring video. Thanks!
The top 5 lighsabre duels are literally just the 5 SWTOR cinematics
6 you mean, there is a new one with Malgus, it's called "Disorder", enjoy:
th-cam.com/video/QgbMAdtp7aE/w-d-xo.html
MY TOP 5
1. OBI WAN VS. ANAKIN (ROTS)
2. YODA VS. THE COUNT
3. OBI WAN VS. GREVIOUS
4. MAUL / SAVAGE OPPRESS VS. SIDIOUS
5. AHSOKA VS. MORGAN ELSBETH (MANDALORIAN)
I m really not sure about Vader obi wan
Whoever choreographed the Old Republic fights should have been hired for the seuqels. Haven't had amazing lightsaber fights since the Prequels.
The way obiwan focus to tip that pillar vs the calmness Vader has while absolutely chucking it away is awesome
those are some of my favorites as well
Aaaand… no sequels
Perfection
Don’t forget the force unleashed trailer
objectively the correct order. nice
god if olny we got to see a lightsaber duel like the one for the old republic in any live action im telling you it would literallt break the internet and starwars fans alike will rejoice
The Vader Vs Kenobi show us really the only good lightsaber duel Disney has done along with the flashback duel between anakin and obiwan
Thank you for not including any sequel trilogy trash in this.
Maul vs Ahsoka, seige of Mandalore. Just saying.
SWTOR - When your cinematics are leagues better than your actual game.
They need to spend the money and make shows with this animation
I agree with the best one. I wish they stuck with the same saber choreographer(s) for episode 7-9
"The battle of heroes" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yoda and Palpatine was epic.
When he whipped the double lightsaber out though....
The Old Republic was so good I swear
Good opinions. I was especially happy to not see any sequel-garbage on this list.
Of the course episode 1 is a legendary fight. It was the beginning 😮😮😮
Yoda’s fight against Palpatine is the best for me 🏅
My top 5:
5: Qway-Gon & Obi-wan VS Darth Maul (Epizode 1)
4: Sateel Shan VS Darth Malgus (SWTOR cinematic on Alderaan)
3: Greewoos VS Jedi's (Tartakovskiy's Clone wars)
2: Sateel Shan & her Master VS Malgus & his Master (swtor cinematic)
1: Anaken VS Obi-wan (Epizode 3)
Imo it’s crazy how Anakin vs. Obi-wan (mustafar) still outshines the animated fights where there is so much more potential with choreography. The amount of effort to create such a near perfect lightsaber fight must have been insane, and will probably forever be the best of all time. Although I disagree that Obi-wan vs. Vader deserves a spot in top 5, it should probably be replaced with Windu vs. Palpatine.
What about dooku vs. Yoda fight? That was epic! One of the best duels I ever seen
Mace Windu vs Dooku on the big screen would have been epic, and most importantly, we wouldn't know who would win! We would know they're both for the chop, but WHEN...
Someone told me along time ago that starwars fights between Jedi and sith are just like Anime fights. They're moving so fat that we're not even supposed to comprehend what's going on. This just tells you that jedi and sith are OP in general.
After seing the Ahsoka series, it feels like Night and day
SWTOR intro and cinematic scenes were the best part of that game....
I really enjoyed playing the game. I loved the one world adventure and being able to do what I wanted in the star wars universe
yeah, it's true that mustafar scene is a great fight, but i would put it in second position or third
I recommend you to see it twice, its literal pure epicness for 8 minutes straight. In addition to that, John Williams did the best music humanity has ever heard,
I know this is just opinion, but the lightsaber duel between Sidious and Maul / Savage Opress from CW was one of the best
It makes sense that Episode 3 is number one.
Well, personally, any clip from the old republic is better than all the movies.
I just could not believe the lightsaber fight between Count Dooku and Master Yoda was not included. I think it should be included.
This also needs the last fight Obe-Wan with the Vader and fight General Grievous in the kidnapping of Palpatine
A good list. My number 1 is TPM. Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Darth Maul!!!
I hope one day we get to see Luke Skywalker truly go ham on his light saber skills.
All I want is an Old Republic trilogy...
For me Yoda vs Darth Tyranos/Count Dooku is always top 5.
Of course, you save the best for last Anakin versus Obi-Wan 👌🏾💯💯👌🏾
Seeing the fight scene in “Star Wars the old Republic” I heard it was a game I’ve never played it but the fight slow motion scene was way better like it looks very amazing I wish they could’ve done that in the clone wars series like let it be some slow motion like anytime who is fighting who and which they could do a series of it of the old Republic just like in the clone wars
It must've been so hard to make Hayden christenson take it down a notch to act part robot
Prequels rule for lightsaber fights!
There is nothing worse than the disney fighting scenes
Obi Wan vs Anakin's Episode 3 Last duel is always the best
Good list actually, but I hate to see the Yoda v Sidious Duel be so criminally underrated
Anakin had obi wan dead to rights but story must be fulfilled
I would be collecting as many lightsabers as I could during this battle between the Jedi and I counted about alittle over 20 sith
I like how the number 1 rule of Jedi is not to kill
But they murder the sith with no hesitation
During the Darach Vs Malgus & Vindican, I feel the three of them use different lightsaber forms one from another.
Darach's use of the force and various movements suggest Niman, but he's very physical and acrobatic in offensive as much as defensive, so I'll go with Ataru.
Malgus, to me, is obviously either a Form V or VII duelist, but his moves rely more on powerful blows so I'd go with V. (Still can't make the difference between V and VII)
Vindican uses a lot of protective blade motion that suggests form III and his strikes seem pretty deliberate and straightforward (in comparison), so that could suggest form I as well.
Malgus was in fact a user of form 5. Well done.
@@darryladams6780 why was it that Malgus couldn't just wipe the floor with him when it was a 1v2? His partner got stabbed then the Jedi was reeking of fear at the sight of Malgus, like all of a sudden he was completely outmatched. I don't know too much of the star wars lore but it just seemed like the Jedi went from being able to handle himself pretty well to straight panic mode
@@AG-fv4ybJedi got tired. Pretty hard to fight two people at once. And i guess malgus wasn't really that serious then?
@@soul7074 that makes sense but... these are Jedis we are talking about, plus the adrenaline should allow them to have a pretty good stamina. Malgus was about to kill the padawan pretty early in the fight so he was handling his business. I thought it was just weird that the tide completely turned, was he known for dual wielding? Every trailer and thing that I've seen of Malgus he only uses one lightsaber so I just want to know lol
@@AG-fv4yb look closely... the jedi master got lightsaber stabbed on left shoulder part thats why his defense weakened..
I like your tastes and definitely agree with your top pick
The anakin training scene in Kenobi is decent when put together
And if we're gonna be honest, the sequels gave us the BEST visuals, and that includes with duels. The forest fight had next level graphics, the throne room had decent choreography, rey and kylos fight when the waves were crashing, visually really good
The lightsabers just look too heavy in those movies
Some of the clone wars fights should be in here
