poor fools, all know that the best duel of all star wars history is the confrontation between ben and vader. The amazing SFX, graceful agility, conscious robbing emotion, the sheer determination given by two aging force-users, and the dreadful suspense of ben's sacrifice all add up to the most emotional and intense saber-duel of all time.

The Obi-wan, Qui-Gon, and Maul duel of Episode I, so far in my opinion, has been one of the few redeeming qualities of the prequel trilogy. It was clear that Ray Park (Darth Maul) was an actual martial arts expert due to his obvious prowess with the lightstaff. I believe this helped to really bring an amazing dynamic to that duel that had yet to be seen or duplicated since. This duel absolutely took my breath away.

Yeah i have to agree with you there Vagabond. The Duel of the Fates was one of the best lightsabre duels saga. it was just so high paced. but i feel that the sabre duel in Ep6, was the best in the saga, because although it did not have as much pace as te duel of the fates it did have more of a meaning to the fight, the whole father vs son thing

very sentimental Glaive, however, a masters sacrifice for his apprentice qualifies as meaning to the fight, almost equal to that of EPVI, however, you all fail to see the glory of Ben vs. Vader, *still breathless fom that scene*

yoda vs. dooku is just insanely cool :D

 

luke vs vader in rotj is what really shines because it is both lukes finest point, and his darkest (he's uses his anger to overpower vader). and as previously mentioned the emotion, the music, etc.

Okay, let me qualify my earlier statement.

 

From a technical point of view, the saber duel in Episode I is more amazing, in my opinion, than all other Star Wars duels combined, even Yoda duel in Episode II. Ray Park's technique was masterful.

 

However, from a dramatic point of view, I agree, the Episode VI duel was by far the best. Mark Hamill did a great job of showing Luke's moment of truth - both the realization that he was finally at the crossroads that all his training had been preparing him for - and his climactic choice to turn away from the darkness, from the mistake of his father, and stand proud as a Jedi...he passed the test. An achievement that would cost him his life at the Emperor's hands.

 

And as twisted and evil as Vader had become, buried beneath the armor and machinery still lingered the love of a father for his son. As a wounded Vader watched the Emperor kill his child, he finally understood the lesson that Luke had was now teaching him - that love was worth dying for. The saga culminates with a simple act - a father gives his life to save his son, a prophecy is fulfilled, and in the process the son saves the father.

Maul was not the last Sith. :confused:

 

Maul's species was Zabrak, if I recall correctly! ;)

Darth Maul was trained by Palapatine/Darth Sideous so how could he be "old school Sith"? Thinking along those lines then, that would make Palapatine/Darth Sideous, the one who trained Maul, the real last "old school Sith".

 

I would consider what you read as completely untrustworthy! :eyeraise:

Yoda flipping around like a monkey on speed was too funny and there was much, much action. Luke in ep. VII was a close second. This thread will have to be edited after ep. III. There's like 20 or more duels in this one!!

The thing about the Obi-Wan vs Darth Vader was you could tell Alec Guinness was seriously not into those lines at all, his acting was half-hearted and he seemed to be embarrassed at times, the action wasn't good either so I don't see how my vote could go there.

 

I voted Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon vs Darth Maul. It had action up to ying-yang and it was not without emotion either. The death scene was a lot better than throwing a car crash dummy down a shaft. ;):p I tease, although Luke vs. Darth Vader(ep.6) does come second because I think it shows off Luke's skills (which are pretty impressive) and as already stated the Father vs. Son emotional level was well done.

For me the best fight in terms of combat, is the Darth Maul Vs. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon fight. This is the only time we've seen a double-bladed saber in battle, and Maul had mastered it.
