I agree with Achilles....the suprise on mauls face is just to good.

v.s

 

 

this duel is a good one also....if you surf the web ull find lots of jokes about this classic Star Wars duel

[sith_master2000]

I had to vote for the fight between Luke and Vader Ep 6. It's the most emotional of all the fights. My second choice would be the Yoda and Dooku fight.

[TheOutrider]

EP6 Luke vs Vader is the best and George Lucas made it to be the best

 

no buts about it

[Glaive v.1]

Luke vs Vader is the best Damn it

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

[Lieutenant_kettch]

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*

[stingerhs]

yoda vs. dooku is just insanely cool

 

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.

[Lieutenant_kettch]

the dark side is cool, definately the most dark saber battle, but in the end, the light side is victorious in that duel(luke doesn't kill vader)

[Vagabond]

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.

Darth Maul by far,He pretty much had them owned,he just screwed around at the end and not finished Obi-Wan off.(sigh)He was the last sith too.

Maul was not the last Sith.

 

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

[Shok_Tinoktin]

I believe he was considered to be the last old school Sith. I don't remember where I heard that though, so I don't know if it is trustworthy.

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!

 

[Shok_Tinoktin]

i dont think i even read it anywhere, i think i got it second hand. i dont know a lot about pre-ANH, so i am pretty easy to convince.

[Palpatine]

Yoda vs Dooku and Duel of fates, though Anakin and Obi-Wan duel will probbaly change my decision on may 19th:D

[UrchSr]

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!!

That is true. Though they wont all fit into the poll.

[idle]

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. 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.

[Samurai DD]

Definetely the Ep. 6 Luke vs Vader. The music is really the best element.

[obijon1138]

1.Obi vs. Maul

2.Vader vs. Luke on Bespin

 

With Episode 3 coming out (lotsa saber fights), I may have a new favorite. Can't wait to see Palpy sling a plasma blade.

[JinniX]

Yoda vs. Dooku for me, Yoda was unleashing some kick*** moves.

[Nexus Traan]

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.
