We all do
Facts
Did anyone else notice that a large majority of these duels involve Obi-wan or Maul?
Coincidence? I think not! obi wan is the best bruh
Nah the best fight is the end of return of the jedi the rest are milking it for money
You mean obi-wan right obi one is from gintama I’m gonna get wooshed aren’t I?
@@gibio396 I'm sorry I didn't notice that, I really hate autocorrect lol. I do apologize for the spelling error. 🙏
@@morganhuthnance887 hell no the best is obi wan vs anakin
Fun Fact : Anakin was trying to replicate the jump that Obi-Wan did on Maul and Obi-Wan knew it that's why he said "Don't try it"
Ohhh gotcha
Copy
HOLY SHIT MIND BLOWN!
So that's why it failed?
I never knew that! That’s so cool 😎
Ahoska's line "I'm no Jedi." Is just so bad ass.
100%
Plus, seeing how Dave Filoni is such a fan, I can't help but think it's also a reference to "He's no Jedi" from Episode VI.
It’s bad ass because it’s true
It just copied Captain Rex though
Not really she’s just stating a fact is wasn’t really groundbreaking or anything like that.
Of course my highest moment was going to be 1st
If the high ground wasn’t there Obi, you could’ve lost!!!
@Star Killer because he was supposed to destroy the sith not join them bring balance to the force not leave it in darkness
@Darth Revan pls sith Lords are my speciality
Heh. “Highest” moment
@@Obi-Wan-Kenobi_ 3 dead people all arguing Sadly even if all of you got together to fight Rey you'd lose because she somehow beats everyone just by doing nothing You'd 3 were all better than her if Disney didn't own you guys you'd guys be some of the most op people in the universe
The duel between Ahsoka and Vader is brilliant, the emotion and ferocity that they both go into it with is almost heart breaking.
No shit! I can NEVER watch that scene, nor even a segment of it in videos like this without tearing up! Bad choice watching this video just before bedtime LOL
One thing I love about the final fight is Obi’wan says “Don’t try it” He knows what Anakins going to attempt Why? Because he did the SAME move on Maul in the phantom menace.............
Yessirrr, Anakin actually studied that fight in great detail and Obi knew exactly what he meant by “you underestimate my power”. Such a cool detail!😄
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE WHAT?!?
Holy crap. I never picked up on that. Adds a whole new dimension to an already emotional scene.
he thought Obi-Wan just gona stand there and look at Anakin jump over him and slice him in half
BRUH! I never thought of it that way!
Everybody gangsta till the chancellor starts laughing for no reason
You mean treason?
@Darth Revan that can't be right, you spelled malgus wrong in your name
Classic Sheev
*top twenty lightsaber battles of all time* : Maul: Yes?
Sidious: There can only be 2 Sith Lords. Vader: There are two matches that include you, my master. Sidious: Goooooood.
@Daniel Diaz lmao he was only in like 3 lightsaber battles and most of them were short
@Daniel Diaz take a seat young Diaz
@Daniel Diaz you are on this comment section, but we do not grant you the rank of correct
@Daniel Diaz did you ever hear the tale of Master Windu the wise?
Count Dooku was one of my favorites. He had the dope style with and without the lightsaber. R.I.P. CHRISTOPHER LEE
yeah he uses fencing style
Yes! Dooku didn't need two sabers or doubled sabers. He could move that poignard so effortlessly to all points from all directions. Loved watching his style! :)
Obi-Wan 1v2ing savage and maul definitely deserves more respect
obi wan: It's over anakin, i have the high ground. Maul: bullshit. i had the high ground.👿
Most underrated comment ever
Maul didn’t master it though
He didn't declare it, though, that's what asserts it.
And that’s why George Lucas should proofread his script before hand
But maul wasn’t really prepared I don’t think but obi was
I realized that most lightsaber duels often end with a death or dismemberment. Or both in Windu's case
Fact!
And dooku
@@guymadgesam24 I was just gonna say, lol
nah, windu doesn’t die. just watch, he’ll come back
Which means it’s realistic then
#10 bugged me the most. You left out Obi-Wan on his own against Maul and Savage after Gallia was killed? That was one of Obi-Wan’s best moments from the whole show! He pulled out all the stops dual-wielding lightsabers and won! Also, that “you are mistaken” line at the beginning is just so awesome.
I love that duel so much, Obi-Wan is the GOAT
It’s my 5th favorite fight in the show. Sooo cool! Above it are grievo vs Jedi Obiwan v Vader Obiwan v Anakin And Obiwan and Qui gon v Maul
I was so disappointed that they shafted Finn. He should of been force sensitive and that blue lightsaber look is totally owned by him.
Agreed it would have been cool to see him like Kyle Katarn and use a combination of weapons and light saber. Besides the next 2 movies sucking more they just threw his character arc in the garbage.
John Boyega’s treatment by fans and behind the scenes only makes it worse
He is force sensitive. They just didn’t make nearly enough of an effort to show us that. I agree that he was indeed shafted.
Facts, I’m pretty sure the actor talks about it(apologies for not knowing his name, I don’t know like any of the names for the new movies)
Don't worry that's just Disney being Disney
If anyone else came here and knew exactly what #1 was going to be from the beginning, turn the thumbs up symbol blue.
if it wasnt, that would be treason then
I love how she just says "mace windu vs Darth sidious" completely discarding the other jedi as they were basically irrelevant
Well, Kit Fisto was at least relevant to me, but if they were to mention him, then why not Tiin and Kolar too?
@Michael Terrell II yeah that'd be a good explanation
They just stood there and got mowed down!
@@WatchMojo :O A REPLY FROM THE LEGENDS THEMSELVES! Am I dreaming?
@Jan Actually, Sidious didn't create a false sense of fear in his heart, rather, his voice, face, and body language gave off the impression of a scared old man and, since Mace Windu was looking for Sidious' Shatterpoint, not Anakin's, he associates the fear he senses with Sidious because of the voice, face, and body language. The fear is actually Anakin's, which is why Sidious says this: "Fool!" His voice was a shout of thunder. "Do you think the fear you feel is mine?"
Notice how almost every fight with Maul is on this list 🤭
Except, they left out the best one.
@Tim Wiggemans Maul vs Obi-Wan
@Tim Wiggemans Damn sorry I meant Maul vs Obi Wan in Rebels. Lol Maul autocorrected and I went to fix it then I forgot to type “in Rebels”
I feel like yoda vs dooku is so underrated. It was the first time we ever got to see yoda in action and he made dooku run like a b***h
Revenge Of The Sith is the only Star Wars episode I've seen to have multiple lightsaber duels scattered throughout. It's also the only episode to have an exclamation mark in the opening crawl.
That's why it's considered like the 3rd or 4th best movie out of all the movies.
Zachary Yamashita a lot of us consider it to be the best ;)
@@kiki42719 Those lines by Ewan McGregor are already becoming mor & more iconic each year now.
@@zacharyyamashita8554 it is the best
@@zacharyyamashita8554 yo wtf Revenge of the sith is the best one.
WatchMojo: *includes the "Hello There" and High Ground moments* Me: *visible happiness*
When a true best lightsaber duel Maul vs. Kenobi in Rebels wasn’t even mentioned. Impossible, perhaps the archieves are incomplete
You really have to appreciate that they unmuted the “hello there” scene right before he said it😂😂
I still think the first part of "Clone Wars" should be canon since it shows how Anakin became a Jedi Knight.
Not to mention General grievous coughing in episode 3 the ships where the same and the end of the clone wars fits in between episode two and three!!
@@jacobperson6943 He did cough in "The Clone Wars", mainly in the first season.
Agreed. They're like bookends of the 2008 Clone Wars.
Yes it should. And had season 7 of the Clone Wars had never happened, the should have adapted the second part of the cartoon Clone Wars to animation to connect it to Revenge of the Sith.
The way I see it, everything up to and including Anakin showing Padme his scar is canon, then from there you would watch 2008 Clone Wars. Clone Wars showed Anakin becoming a Jedi Knight. It had the first acknowledgment of Anakin's scar. It showed how Anakin got R2-D2. It showed how C3PO went from silver to gold. It showed the introduction of Grievous. It showed the introduction of Asajj Ventress. The show fills in so many holes that 2008 Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith just don't cover that I think the first 21 and a bit episodes just have to be considered canon.
Top 20 LEGO Star Wars sets? That’d make a great list
Hell yeah
PLEASE
Yep
@Darth Revan which one? I love the sith fury class interceptor
Just watch MandRproductions
Never a doubt about number 1. The sheer emotion of it is enough to break anyone's heart.
Twilight of The Apprentice will always be my favourite moment in all Star Wars. There’s just so much emotion & years of buildup towards that confrontation & it effected me in a way nothing else had before.
Maul vs Obi round 2 will always be my favorite. People say it was underwelming, but it was perfect. Kenobi baited Maul with Qui Gons stance, and cut threw his lightsaber before he could hit him in the head with it like he did to Qui Gon.
While definitely not in my top 20, I respect the visuals and the symbolism behind that duel and can see why people love it
Old Ben vs Maul is definetly top 5 for me
Yes, by stepping backward instead of forward like Qui Gon did.
Yes! This was probably the most nuanced fight in star wars. It's amazing!
I’m so happy the Ahsoka vs Darth Maul duel made the top 5 list. It’s my all time favorite battle in The Clone Wars. Heck, it’s my all time favorite battle in the ENTIRE FRANCHISE!!! EVERYTHING she said about that battle at 18:35 is 100% true!
Darth maul fights are my favorite but Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader was the most rememberable.
How many people knew that Grevious' cough is actually George Lucas' cough
The records must be wrong.

Literally all of their honorable mentions are better than the sequel duels they chose to put on the list.
IKR? The only interesting duel in the sequels, the one between Luke and Kylo REN wasn't even on there.
Those duels shouldn’t even be honorable mentions
Bull. The chosen sequel battles were better than Mace Windu vs Palpatine (Talk about bad choreography) and Vader vs Obi Wan ANH (ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ)
@@Writer-xu5uo alright just shut up Disney loverboy
@@sverrehuyghe3785 maybe learn to accept opinions
I totally agree with the list, I love how you don't only talk about choreography but also sentimental value and nostalgia. Ahsoka Vs Darth Maul is by far the best animated Lightaber fight ever created, as well as the whole final arc of the Clone Wars: Siege of Mandalore. I love Star Wars so much...
Not having Obi Wan and Darth Maul from Rebels is a glaring omission. What it lacks in runtime it makes up for in emotional weight and small details. Truly underappreciated.
They even mention it when talking about duel of the fates
That one should've replaced the Finn and Rey vs kilo ren IMO.
True but... It's so short. There's just way better lightsaber duels
@@smwnerd5144 yeah there are better duels but nothing from the sequels or alot of the battles on this list top that one short fight
@@archnegative8112 I respectfully disagree
Obi Wan: Only a Sith deals in absolutes. Anakin: Are you absolutely sure about that? Obi Wan: .....
Ha
I was actually expecting Duel of the Fates to be #1 Ahsoka vs Vader is my personal favorite but I knew it wouldn't be worthy of a MoJo #1
Hey Starkiller.
If Kenobi vs Anakin is #1 on this list, then the rematch takes the top spot. The choreography is fantastic, the cinematography is captivating, the dialog is heart wrenching and the sheer emotional scope is unparalleled.
"you didn't kill Anakin Skywalker, I did"
17: Mace Vs Palpatine Me: Are you threatening me master jedi
I am the Senate Me: *screaming spinning slash
Maul vs Obi-Wan from Rebels is definetly one of my favorites, it’s simple yet complex, the story behind each move is amazing
If you consider their conversation the duel, then yeah it fucking rules
Huzzah.... a man of quality
It was 3 moves, what are you people talking about with this being a great fight?
@Master Chief What?
Even if you dislike the choreography for TROS’s last duel, the setting IMO helps to make up for it. Watching them duke it out on the Second Death Star’s wreckage with those crashing waves is one of my favorite moments from the sequel films. Plus, there’s some serious poetry their tying into Revenge’s Mustafar duel; in that fight, they’re on a fire planet with the Skywalker on the offensive. On Endor, their surrounded by water, and the Skywalker (Kylo) is defending himself.
"It stills sucks because sequels"
Qui-gon and Obi-wan vs Maul was awesome. The choreography alone was captivating, but it kept us on our toes. But my favourite was also No.1. The greatest light saber duel in history.
The best lightsaber duel is the duel between Anakin and obi-wan because you can feel the emotion and rage with each clash of the blades.

Hi, just here to see where Ashoka's and Maul's fight ranks.
4th
Wish she mentioned how Qui-gon and Kenobi vs Maul had the best score behind their fight, Duel of the Fates is an absolute banger
I’m glad Obi-Wan vs Anakin is #1 it deserves the spot
its by far the best duel ever
Facts
It is the best battle in the entire franchise
You had to spoil it
@@austingauvin1679 spoiler alert lol!
Anakin vs Obi wan, Maul vs Ahsoka, Ahsoka vs Vader and Luke vs Vader(RoTJ) are my favorites
I personally think the fight between Yoda and Palpatine should have been higher up, they both and great dialogue in that scene and was incredibly cool to see Yoda doing flips and jumps of the Chancellors stand as they arise into the Senate. I thought it was so captivating seeing Palpatine throw Senate Stands at Yoda and seeing their joint strength in the force. I just feel it deserved a higher ranking than 7. Just my personal opinion.
The end of the first Luke vs Vader duel has to make it in the top three, because it has the most iconic line in cinematic history: "No. I am your father."
Obi Wan vs Anakin will always be my favorite Star Wars Lightsaber duel.
It's amazing and so much going on between them as well, not just the action.
Bruh I love how Sidious's lightsaber sounds. It's so perfect and evil!
IT's Treason then.
The best part about Luke vs Vader is the way Palpitine sits on his throne and tries to manipulate Luke the way he did Anakin. Also when Vader says "Obi-Wan taught you well" after Luke kicks him down the stairs to gain the highground was amazing. Even if it wasn't 20 years of foreshadowing for the prequels, it's still amazing they remembered all that and put it in the prequel movies.
The score of Luke vs Darth Vader in ROTJ is my favorite with Dual of the fates a very close second. The fight is not as flashy but the music is just so foreboding and intense. Great list Mojo
I’m personally shocked that Maul and Kenobi’s final duel wasn’t 1. It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
Maybe second but not first, Obi vs Anikan will forever be #1
@@nopeandnope5195 nah. Luke vs vader in empire is the best
@@nopeandnope5195 duel of the fates is far better
@@saikikusuo7937 facts, the choreography isn’t as good as ROTS AND TPM but like people realize it’s still really good and the cinematography and pure emotion is just amazing and it rarely has any cuts to other stuff going on
@@saikikusuo7937 just about nothing happens until the 3rd part of the duel
I know it got HM, but I feel like Anakin vs Bariss should’ve been top 20. Anakin showing his expertise against Bariss is one of the most dominating scenes in TCW. And the ending, where Anakin is force choking her, shows how much closer he has come to eliminating the soft ways of the Jedi.
They should’ve put that on instead of the sequel fights
@@mc-maitrixgaming4330 facts
Ohhh yeah! That’s a good fight as well! Nice memory!
@@mc-maitrixgaming4330 sequel trilogy fights are trash tier. The choreography done for them just shows how much the directors actually cared about giving the audience a good fight.
Anakin vs Obi-Wan in Revenge of the Sith had to be the top one. That was the most emotional duel and also I think the longest in the saga. Now I think Obi-Wan vs Vader in the finale of Kenobi is a close second to this duel
in other words, darth maul has easily the most extremely entertaining lightsaber duels
I get number 1, but the Sidious vs Maul and Savage fight should have been number 2. The fact that the two sith lords who have been terrorizing the galaxy and have taken over an entire planet are beaten so easily by Sidious that the only two times he shows any weakness at all (the one time he seems a little winded and the time Maul actually lands a kick) he stops toying with them for a moment and just ends the fight, first by knocking out Maul and killing Savage and then by beating Maul. As for whether or not I can like this video given that this fight wasn't higher on the list? "There IS no mercy." -Sidious to Maul
It’s good but duel or the fates and the battle of hero’s (Anakin vs Obi) is wayyyy better
@@VitrixYT101 I already conceded that the Anakin vs Obi-Wan battle was the best, but will give you this: duel of the fates is awesome. I still prefer the Sidious vs Maul and Savage fight though, just because of how cool Sidious is in it. The bad guys are always cooler, but that was next level.
@@johnrichardson5599 now that i think about it yeah Ur right
@@VitrixYT101 I've always enjoyed watching spinning in lightsaber battles, so the part where Sidious duels Savage and kills him is my personal favourite moment in Star Wars.
@@johnrichardson5599 But maul and savage weren't sith lords especially savage
Glad to see #1 as the pick. Its definitely the best lightsaber battle, if not best fight scene of all time.
My Undisputed Top 5: 5. Yoda vs Darth Sidious (RoTS) 4. Ashoka vs Darth Vader (Rebels) 3. Qui Gon & Obi Wan vs Darth Maul (PM) 2. Luke vs Vader ( RoJ) 1. Obi Wan vs Anakin (Obviously) Personal Fav is The Bros vs Sidious. Just Epic
Anakin vs Dooku should have been on the list. That was such a big moment in my opinion. Also would loved to see my personal favourite bros vs Sidious a bit higher.

Would you consider yourself to be a good person? How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, no matter how small, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God's name in vain/blasphemed, even ‘OMG’? That’s taking the name of the God who gave you life and using it in the place of a cuss word - would you do that with your mother’s name? Have you ever dishonoured your parents? Jesus said whoever looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery in his heart. Have you ever looked with lust? Most people probably have broken all 5 of these commandments. I myself have. I’m not judging you but if you have done these things then you’re a lying, thieving, blasphemous, rebellious adulterer-at-heart by your own admission. That's only 5 of the 10 commandments. God is fully just so he must and will punish every and all sin (which is departure from/rebellion towards God and the conscience) when he judges us. He cannot simply cancel our debt and let us go, or else he would be unjust. If you went into the courtroom and said: ‘Yes Judge, I’ve done these things but I also give money to the Red Cross and volunteer at an old-age home. I try my best to love people’ the judge is not going to take that into consideration. You’ve broken the law; the good you’ve done won’t help at all on the day of judgement. If he judges you by the moral law will you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is Hell. Doesn’t that concern you? But, fortunately, that is not God’s will. He is so loving and merciful, he made a way for you to be forgiven. The Son of God came down as a man, Jesus Christ, and lived a perfect, sinless life, so was the perfect sacrifice. He excruciatingly suffered and died on the cross to pay the FULL debt we owe because of sin; justice is fully done. You and I broke God's law and Jesus paid the fine in his life's blood, being resurrected again 3 days later. That’s why he said “It is finished” on the cross - in other words the debt has been paid. God has the payment ready to go for you. What you need to do is repent (recognising you are a sinner deserving God's punishment, turn to Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins. Our works can do nothing as by the standard of God’s moral law we fail, but faith in him is enough to save us from all sin - past, present and future! Then though you have grievously offended God, he will forgive you and you will inherit eternal life being reborn in the Holy Spirit when you put your trust in the Lord and saviour. Too, you enter a covenant relationship with God - sonship, and truly I tell you your life will change in his presence. So repent and trust (i.e. Biblical faith), receive the free gift of grace. He redeemed me. God, The King of The Universe, came down as a man. He lived the first 30 years of his life as a poor carpenter then spent the next 3 preaching, healing and saving souls - all the while being persecuted, insulted and hated by his own people - and took the punishment to save our lives. It’s the most amazing love that anyone ever displayed. Christianity’s not just a religion. It's a pure, sweet relationship with God. Because of Jesus, I am now a son of God. He is my dad, and you can be his child too. God loves you. Will you let him come?. . .. . .. . .

Yes
It was so good! Hate how Rey v Kylo is rated better than it 😂
Few thoughts... I don’t like Rey, especially how she can just come in and be the best and beat Kylo Ren without any training. It’s kind of dumb. I also don’t like mace windu vs palpatine just because the dual wasnt as cool as it could’ve been. Clone wars lightsaber battles are honestly the best, like palpatine vs darth maul and savage opress is SO SICK!!
I believe the fight that Anakin and Obi-Wan has vs Count Dooku in season 6 is awesome; he reveals his alias Tyrannus etc. It’s good and it really shows Dooku’s skill as a fighter.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one...
Indeed.
Honestly, for me, anything with the Darksaber is at the top, followed closely by anything with Count Dooku, when Dooku is actually played by Christopher Lee. Lee is a pleasure to watch in any role, really, the man was an absolute legend. His biography reads like an adventure novel.
Surely you can do better ;) that line gets me every time. Sir Christopher Lee will always be remembered.
Kenobi and Maul’s final fight in Rebels should have been on the list.
Loved The Force Awakens duel, LOVED The Rise of Skywalker duel, AND Revenge of the Sith duel!
100% agreed
@@alessandrodamiani1867, Ikr? Revenge of the Sith is the most popular and historical fight in Star Wars history!
“After having his potential CUT SHORT in the prequel films”........I see what you did there...😄 lol
I understand that everyone likes to throw jokes around about the "I have the high ground" quote but there is actual significance to it. Soresu is the form Obi Wan was known for. It was a powerful defensive form of lightsaber combat that Obi Wan was known as an unparalleled master of. There is a stance that involves having higher ground than your opponent that makes your defense unbreakable and being the best at that style both Obi Wan and Anakin knew that. Obi Wan was trying to point it out to get Anakin to give up and back down hoping he could see that he wouldn't win in that situation so he wouldn't have to hurt his apprentice.
Yeah. The fact that Obi-Wan is specialized in that form of combat is why he was chosen to combat General Grievous, because it was the only form that sufficiently countered Grievous' lightning fast attacks and sheer brute strength. (At least, in Legends this is true).
It's also because his "Don't try it" line wasn't just "don't challenge my position", but it was also a "don't try the exact same move I used on Maul back in the day because I know how to counter it."
That's awesome
the stance you are referring to is called sokan. Luke also attempted to use it later against vader during on the second death star but vader uses a lightsaber throw to counter it
@@wd3185 lightsaber forms are confirmed in canon as well, so this still can be inferred as the reason obi wan was sent to kill grievous
Let's be honest, who knew that the duel on Mustafar was the best lightsaber duel in star wars history?
#5 is my personal favorite battle!! As she said, it wasn't about the action. but the emotional charge!!!! I get goosebumps every time I watch it!!!
I would’ve included Ahsoka vs. the inquisitors in rebels season 2. I love that fight especially how ahsoka just clowns both of them showing how much more powerful she’s gotten since clone wars.
I mean that was the first time we have seen Ashoka fight since the last clone wars episode. So she had gotten older and stronger. Also as if a seasoned clone war vet would have any trouble against inquisitors. Honestly Rex in his prime with a lightsaber might be able to beat an inquisitor lol
@@coltonpiper6156 maybe man I always felt the inquisitors weren’t that powerful maybe the level of a Jedi Knight. Any more powerful and sidiious would likely consider them potential threats and kill them.
@@TheWingland I would say Jedi knight levels Max. But if they got defeated by anybody usually Vader would take care of the Jedi who defeated an inquisitor. I feel like the inquisitors were mainly used to take down padawans and if any were defeated Vader would come in and ransack everything haha
I’m a sucker for the Clone Wars, so Ashoka vs. Maul is my favorite.
I am there with you. And it is also why Ahsoka vs Darth Vader is my number 2.
For sure
Understandable, have a nice day
Clone wars is horrible all Star Wars shows are trash movies are its at
@@actionjaxson4532 Roses are violets are blue, your opinion is stupid and so are you
So, we get Rey and Finn vs Ren on the list, but Obi-Wan and Anakin vs Dooku in ROTS is an honorable mention?
Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon vs Darth Maul, Yoda vs Dooku, and Ahsoka vs Maul were awesome because of their duel movements, techniques, and energy. Obi-Wan vs Maul (Rebels), Obi-Wan vs Darth Vader, and Luke vs Vader (TESB) were awesome because of the emotion & symbolism between them. Ahsoka vs Vader, Luke vs Vader (ROTJ), and Obi-Wan vs Anakin had displayed both strong raw emotions & symbolism, and incredible lightsaber dueling against each other. I love these duels and the rest (yes, even the sequel trilogy duels... unfortunately)
I fundamentally think not having the Rebels Obi-wan vs Maul final fight is a crime. That has got to be the most poetic Star Wars scenes ever.
“Hello there!!” The moment this list is uploaded, I have to say those two immortal words from the high ground master and the master of sass and trolling in words, Obi wan Kenobi. ⚔️⚔️⚔️🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏. Impressive, most impressive. Another quote that summarized his former apprentice turned Sith Lord. The force is strong with this list. Seeing Rey force pulled the saber to her hand is just gorgeous, even years after its release since 2015.
I still think my all time favorite is Kenobi and Qui Gon vs Maul.. and with Duel of the fates in the background..(chef's kiss .)
Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan vs. Darth Maul wasn't my favourite lightsaber battle it was OUR favourite lightsaber battle
Sidious might have been taken down if Windu didn’t bring 3 redshirt Jedi with him.
Appreciate the Star Trek reference in a Star Wars video!
I already commented this on another comment that shows people's lack of knowledge but I'll do it again since you people astound me I love how you people know nothing about agen kolar, kit fitso, and saesee tinn considering they were one of the best within the jedi order and sidious kills all three of them in a few seconds. Has nothing to do with them being irrelevant. Just that it shows how powerful sidious was
1:11 Hey look guys, it's Shaggy
You mean Sha Gi
@Darth Revan just imagine shaggy kicking kylo's ass
Fans:nooooo you cant just swing lightsabers like thattttttt Disney:haha baseball bat go wrrruhhhhmmm
true
I feel like Anakin vs Dooku in Revenge of the Sith was definitely a great fight and deserve a spot on the list.
Obi wan vs Maul in rebels was amazing!!!! The little details they put in the fight, the attention to the stance of each combatant, it was beautiful. Deserves to be on the list.
watchmojo is team of culture ,they know whose lightsaber battle is the best
anakin vs obi wan will forever be the best lightsaber battle in the history of all star wars lightsaber duels
10:17 anyone else hear LEGO Yoda’s death sound
