Yup, it’s crazy what good choreographing and evolved technology can do. They even changed Luke’s fighting style in the sequels to match the newer version. I kind of wish they just made remastered versions the the 4-6 duels but I love the movies anyway.
@@yggunshot8402 yeah like the fan made version of the Darth Vader vs Obi Wan duel, the prequel films may not have been as good as the original trilogy but the fights made up for it.
Sort of. The OT mainly used Kendo as the inspiration for the choreography while the prequels have more Chinese fencing in the duels. Most likely because Chinese martial arts were very popular in Hollywood at the time.

The prequel duels makes the most sense because the lightsabers are't heavy, so that allows you to move them really fast and with not much strength you can hurt the opponent with the slightest hit
Meanwhile in the sequels they swing their lightsabers like they weigh as much as a sledgehammer despite supposedly being highly trained and skilled warriors.
the hilts themselves are heavy, but the blades are light in comparison so they make the most sense if we want to make our anchient space wizard fights more "realistic"

I like the OG duels. They are slow, methodical and convey a lot with not much flash. But the absolute best is definitely Anakin vs Obi-Wan. It's flashy, bombastic and full of raw emotions. It perfectly encapsulates the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker and his fall to the dark side. It remains the absolute best Star Wars lightsaber duel.
Lets take a moment to realize how powerful Anakin was as a Padawan. This boi could fight Dooku for a decent amount of time. A Padawan taking on one of the best duelists the Jedi Order ever had.
Yes.
Ahsoka tano was a padawan for entirety of clone wars, pretty powerful capturing maul
Obi Wan defeated Maul, a Sith Lord, as a Padawan. Obi Wan also beat Grievous. He also beat Anakin. He also matched Darth Vader in Episode 4
@@amuroray9115 Im talking about Padawan levels. And Obi Wan only beat Maul because Maul got over confident because Obi Wan was hanging,
@@jasonkuhndel364 he still beat Maul, a powerful Sith Lord, fair and square. 🤷♂️ you can say he got overconfident but that’s the fault of Maul himself and not lack of skill from Obi Wan. That’s like me saying Anakin only beat Dooku because Dooku was ordered to not kill him by Palpatine. Anakin still one-upped him in Ep. III
If Mace Windu had to go down, I’m glad he did while knowing he beat the Sith Lord and eventual Emperor. Without Skywalker being there, Windu would have been the hero of the story.
It's debated whether he truly won, or Sidious allowed him to win to manipulate Anakin.
To be honest I’d like to think that he legitimately won. Just because I feel like Mace deserves some merit to his name.
@@yggunshot8402 He did win fairly George Lucas himself said that Mace Windu beat Palpatine without Palpatine holding back
@@csmith3248 What George Lucas says isn’t really canon anymore. He’s also the same one who said that the lack of living tissue results in a lower connection to the force but that was disproven even before the new canon.
@@yggunshot8402 Back then George Lucas was the owner anything he said was canon I don’t care if Disney change it Mace Windu won because of his fighting technique called “Vapaad” which allows Windu to use the dark side users emotions against them, Mace Windu was the ultimate Sith destroy with that technique
The prequel duels will always be my favorite but I appreciate The Force Awaken's sound and how raw it seemed. You can really see the difference in training. Almost flawless lightsaber technique in the prequels and it fades as time goes on. Makes sense.
I know there are explanations why the ST fights look the way they do. But I didn't like them. Maybe because I grew up mostly with the PT so those are my expectations when it comes to lightsaber fights. I've rewatched the PT duels more than the ST actually.
My top 5 duels: 5. Count Dooku vs everyone on Genosis (mainly due to the excellent lighting of Anakin and Dooku’s faces from the sabers, and it being the first time we see Yoda fight) 4. Luke vs Vader in Ep. 6 (score and story implications are excellent, plus I love the green and black ensemble Luke has) 3. Luke vs Vader in Ep. 5 (once again score and story is there, but the fighting style and use of the force raises this one to top 3 and could be my top 1 depending on the day) 2. Obi Wan and Qui Gon vs Maul (this is probably my favorite pure fight but the story isn’t as impactful as some of the others. Duel of the fates is still one of the greatest scores of all time) 1. Obi Wan vs Anakin (say what you will about the prequels, the emotions throughout this fight are very present and the choreography is second to none. Possibly the strongest story implications of any fight scene and the birth of Darth Vader make this my personal favorite fight, though any of the top 3 are hard to separate for me)
Lotta fair points right here.
My list is very similar, I go back and forth on whether I like episode 1 or episode 3’s fight more but both are excellent. Count dooku vs the Jedi is very underrated as well, that’s a fun fight.
I agree nothing is close to Anakin vs Obiwan
Sorry but the lighting on Anakin and Dooku’s faces is maybe the worst shot in all of Star Wars.
My top-5 would be almost the same, save for I would definitely keep 2 or 3 for Yoda vs Emperor. The scene, the characters, I just love this duel

Obi vs Anakin was the best, saddest and chilling lightsaber duel ever
Technically and artistically, the duel between Anakin and Obi Wan in RotS is simply the best. RotJ has the most emotion, but the technical artistry in RotS is unmatched.
From a story perspective, the lightsaber duels in the original trilogy make sense as to why they’re so slow and not as elegant as the prequels. There wasn’t really any Jedi left to teach Luke how to properly fight with one and Vader was held back due to bionics. Meanwhile, when the Jedi Order was still intact, there were plenty of lightsaber styles to learn and people to learn from
And obi wan was lid so he was a little slowex
Yes, he was slower due to bionics. But he was way stronger too. Anakin was 1,88m and Vader was 2,03m. His feelings toward his son held him back. But yeah, Luke wasn't very well trained. As the main character from Jedi Fallen Order.
@@jean-pierrepolnareff7334 Exactly my point. It’s true that Vader had to rely solely on strength because he lacked speed, but Cal Kestis from Fallen Order is a perfect example of what proper Jedi training can look like
@@scum0320 I'd like to had that Cal Kestis isn't really "the perfect" example. For the only reason that his fighting style is midway between Jedi training and self-defense. He got some very unusual move sets. It's visible with the finish moves, very brutal and raw, closer to a Sith fighting style than a Jedi fighting style. But he got some very skillfull move sets too, like the move when you get from one bladed to double bladed Lightsaber, which is very impressive. So yeah, Cal Kestis is closer to a Jedi fighting style than Luke. But he's still pretty far from Anakin or Obi-wan fighting style !
@@jean-pierrepolnareff7334 that’s true. I might’ve just worded it wrong. Anakin and Obi-Wan are the perfect examples since they are the most skilled of all Jedi right beneath Yoda. I think Cal is more of an average example, instead of a perfect one

Never noticed before an interesting parallel between Ep III's duel in lava (9:01) and Ep IX's duel in water (25:02) - both are storming oceans of a primordial element and in keeping with the nature of each (fire destroys while water gives life) both duels result in metaphorical death and birth. The lava ultimately leads to the death of Anakin Skywalker and birth of Darth Vader, and the water duel leads to the death of Kylo Ren and the birth (or rather rebirth) of Ben Solo. Great job editing all these together!
There’s one more parallel. The Ep III duel is amazing, the Ep IX duel is dogshit.

Best I think is the duel on Bespin. It is honestly in my opinion the most iconic duel and the most iconic moment in Star Wars as it includes arguably the biggest reveal in movie history. It also was the first to incorporate Kendo which revolutionized how lightsaber duels would look moving forward. And most importantly, it perfectly capitalizes on how terrifying Vader truly is. No music needed. No over the top flips or kicks. Perfectly balanced.
Mando looks so freaking cool with that spear Also the kick to flip it over was awesome
I think -personally- that the best lightsaber duel is Obi-wan vs Anakin. The choreography is really impressive. But so is Duel of the Fates. Luke vs Vader is great too due to the emotional value…
*battle of the heroes it’s not duel of the fates playing
@@Holdenandthedreamofhorses I know, I was mostly pointing out the choreography from both, I'm sorry if that wasn't clear though

@@Legendcrunch100 lol
HISHE really did this comment justice, just saying
The choreography in the Prequels actually resembles real-life swordplay, with most of the attacks being a turn or flick of the wrist, with the fighters maintaining their sabers in front of their bodies. Not to mention they just look fucking cool and I find the cinematography charming. The fighters look balanced and graceful, and the swings are actually directed at their target, and don’t obviously miss my a mile. The over-the-top flourishes are actually cool and well-done and have purpose, and make you feel like you’re really watching a battle between two insanely skilled, Force-wielding warriors. The sequels are so bad by comparison. Huge wind-ups leaving the fighter immensely venerable with every single swing followed by massive forward leaning and overcommitment, plus a ridiculous amount of annoying screaming from Rey for no reason. Great CGI aside, the actual choreography is a huge eyesore compared to the fights in the prequels and even the OT (minus Obi-Wan vs Vader, of course).
Ok cool but why do they spin in the prequels? That's literally a disadvantage, not realistic whatsoever.
Ehh not really. They definitely look cool but the idea that their movements have any basis in what a lightsaber duel would look like is not true. Spinning your saber around doesn’t serve any purpose. If anything real sword fighting actually looks more like the sequels due to the fact they actually direct their hits at each other, and they have weight and force behind them
Anyone else notice how much waiting around there is during these duels? 1:24 Maul just stands there when he could have taken at least one of them the way Obi Wan took Anakin 3:40 Maul tracks Obi Wan but his ignited lightsaber remain down when with a simple flick of the wrist, Obi Wan would be landing directly into his blade 10:46 Anakin is clearly off balance, but Obi Wan graciously waits for him to regain his balance. Obi Wan didn’t even need to use his lightsaber, he could have just Force Pushed Anakin off into the lava 6:12 Anakin literally stops mid swing while Dooku is occupied 7:41 Sidious pauses momentarily with his blade in Kolar, and the other 3 just… watches? 11:19 Obi Wan does a slow ballet spin, and Vader just stands there with his lightsaber down
In Star Wars lightsaber battles you and your opponents both can anticipate strikes through the force Logically thinking if you know your opponent can predict you you would not attack so boldly Maul vs obi and qui-gon He was facing two people if he attacked one he would be in the risk of being attacked by the other, and even if he attacked the would be ready to block Obiwan cuts maul It was not stated clearly in the movie but maul was being cocky and was completely surprised by obiwan when he leaped higher than what he was capable of by channelling his emotions momentarily Anakin vs obiwan Obiwan swung at his leg and missed obviously Like the maul vs o and q you don’t know whether they would strike right after they land Obiwan was playing caution by retreating to the far side and swinging at a lower angle But anakin also happened to have landed at the other edge so the swing missed Obiwan and anakin vs Dooku Slight choreography problems here Still despite that small flaw anakin was supposed to play cautious Sidious vs four masters Sidious used a dark side force technique called force scream A Force scream was usually an involuntary Force exertion manifested by those whose alignment was with the dark side of the Force but could be used on command. It was a scream, of strong frustration, rage, or grief, emitted through the Force. Blah blah he might let out an enraged scream (amplified through the Force) that triggered shock waves that rippled through the Force. This caused devastation to any that were unfortunate enough to be in proximity. Like many dark side Force powers, it allowed the user to use powerful negative emotions as a weapon, albeit involuntarily in this case. Something like that They were stunned/ petrified by the emotions fear/anger amplified by the dark side and sent by the scream Obiwan vs Vader Jeez obiwan might be a capable fighter but the actor was literally 62 give him a break
its just plot armour really
@@mizu4305 i always thought obi wan waited for anakin to regain his balance for a fair fight, but then again the quote "i will do what i must"
@@mizu4305 to add on to this for Sidious all were effected but Mace because he puts about 75% of his force powers into force shield
Think of it this way. I can't talk about lightsaber fuels but I can talk about real fighting. If you try and capitalise every time your opponent has an opening then you're going to be very vulnerable and could get baited very easy. This would be magnified in a lightsaber fuel unlike in a real fight where you just get punched or kicked, you lose your arm or get decapitated

@@gloria9798 agreed even if all the sequels suck ep 8 sucks the hardest
And evil rey vs rey
When I was a kid I had lightsabers and I always wanted to do cool flips. Or be like Yoda or darth maul, nothing has changed, I'm just older and have no one with a lightsaber willing to do so
When and where? Can’t back down now.
@@clb6675 well my dual blade lightsaber is half way across the country away for now, in Cali
@@Pearg0ld I have spent year’s training, meditating for this fight. Now, it will be all too easy...
Bummer though. I’ll be ready...
Y'all would pull a better lightsaber duel then Kylo and Rey lmaooo
Hearing yoda shouting while battling Dooku is just too awesome man the CGI is fuckin outstanding for him to
That face Count Dooku makes before he strikes Obi wan is priceless.
The Darksaber is hotter, or more powerful... look at hor much it heated the spear compared to Ahsoka’s white sabers. 18:47 20:23
Nice catch
It could be something to do with the black kyber crystals but idk
I like to think it was made to cut through beskar more efficiently since it was made by a mandalorian but I don't know for sure how he would be able to do that lol
well bo kaytan said that the dark saber could cut through anything but beskar
@@maluharper well so can all Lightsabers
2:44 It's still crazy to think Ewan and Ray were moving so fast, the camera couldn't keep up. So they had to slow the speed down. That's crazy!
Never knew that!
So what were they like realistically. Around 1.25X?
@@SuperVoidBoyz either that or 1.5x but 1.5 seems a little to fast to be done period. but I would bet 1.35x or 1.4x would be accurate
@@gaurohtar895 that's insane.
Same thing with Obi-Wan Vs Anakin but this time almost the whole fight.
Crazy to think in all these nearly 3 hour movies only about 30 minutes are actually lightsaber duals. And they’re still one of the most Iconic parts of the entire franchise.
17:09 something about this scene is absolutely incredible, the amazing score by John Williams, the shot of the two fighting while the camera rolls behind the staircase. Everything about that scene man, its something else.
17:08 After 38 years, i still get goosebumps from this scene!
Same!
Me too!
the music at this part is so good
The music, the atmosphere and luke's attacks showed he was about to turn to the dark side.
Goosebumps from Luke missing?
Luke vs Vader in Empire has gotta be my favourite, theres so much at stake in the duel and it really gets your heart racing. Such a beautiful intense duel
This but for the AOTC duel.
@@VinVonVoom why?
Hey Bro, I created a realistic episode 10 trailer, check it out - I hope you like it, and tell me your opinion. Copyrights in the discription!

9:05 greatest duel in cinema history
ROTS has some of the best fights. Obi Wan vs Anakin and Yoda vs Sidious was so epic because it's their last chance to save the fate of the galaxy
luke vs vader both times are 1 million times better
@@TheWeepingDalek Ok no. That's wrong.
@@TheWeepingDalek just plain not correct
@@Necostew3 so a fight that is about a son desperately trying to save his father is worse
@@TheWeepingDalek obiwan vs Greivous was better than all trilogy fights. But it wasn't just a lightsaber duel. It was a full scale battle
As I've grown older I've grown fond of the original trilogy. There is so much more emotion in these duels, but there is nothing quite like Luke and Vader's last duel.
Facts. Goose bumps with the Luke g Vader episode 6 fight, pure adrenaline with the Anakin v obi wan episode 3 fight
Personally, best scenes were EP. 3 (fight in mustafar), EP. 5 (Father vs. Son) and EP. 6 (Father vs. Son (ii)).... Special Mention: Last EP. of Clone Wars (Master vs. Student). Sequels tried, but failed.
Dude same! Vader and Luke’s final battle makes me sad too! But it’s also a good feeling
Facts. The duels in those films were gritty and brutal. The best thing about both Luke vs Vader fights is how in empire, he doesn’t know it’s his father. And then in episode 6 when he breaks and gives into his fear for a brief moment
I know the feeling. Once Luke snaps and goes after Vader I still get chills today just like I did back in 1983 when I was 13 seeing this for the first time in a movie theater.The choral music just adds to the moment.
That spin from obi-wan when he's fighting vader will always be a classic
Lightsabers in phantom menace just sound so cool
If lightsaber resistant melee weapons count on lightsaber duels then Obi-Wan and Anakin vs Magnaguards in Revenge of the Sith should count as well
@Noah Maldonado Finn vs Phasma too
26:57 Kylo Regrets his choices, recognices that he has been in the wrong path, and Rey..... stabs him
Ben: Aw man what am I doing. I killed my dad my mom hates me now and my uncle is a ghost now like you know screw Sidious. Rey: haha lightsaber go brrr
@@jisalt339 well, yeah he heals him, after she realizes sHe LoVeS hIm
Did you think Rey knows that at that exact moment? 🤷
@@jisalt339 You're talking about toxic but Padme still loved Anakin despite all the shit he did in Episode 3. Obi Wan tells her that anakin murdered kids and she still wants him so... 🤷
@@BlueSkullX well, if kylo was about to kill her, and sudenly stoped, and droped his lightsaber, I think it was easy to asume.
5:16 that sound that Yoda made is the same sound of Yoda dying in Lego Star Wars Saga 😂
People's heads would have exploded if they saw some of these lightsaber duels back in the day when the originals were in theaters. Especially seeing Yoda go from a puppet to flying around with the force battling with his lightsaber. People back in the 70s wouldn't be able to comprehend it. Crazy how far we have come.
27:14 Kylo's little shrug before decimating the Knights of Ren gives me heavy Loki vibes
The way I see it is like if Ben is saying, "Okay everyone, calm down"
I get a mix of Anakin and Han. Which makes sense, really.
High key loki vibes
This is probably why they hardly did anything in episode 9. They never stood a chance from the start.
That's pretty much the exact shrug Han gave when he captured the stormtroopers in ROTJ.
Original Trilogy = Classic and Nostalgic Duels Prequel Trilogy = Best Duels Sequel Trilogy = Highly Visualized Duels
Original Trilogy: Mostly story driven duels
All of this is true
i think its time to fuse it on next trilogy, please Disney
@@benprice5122 yeah but not good
They are still good
The most underrated duel in my opinion is Maul vs Jinn in Tatooine. - Didn't hesitate for a second to pull his lightsaber. - Both Jinn and Maul were kind enough to look at Anakin running towards the ship before they resumed their battle. - Pure adrenaline within a matter of minutes before it all comes to an end. I love it.
I really appreciate that the editing didn't left out some of the coolest parts lf those scenes, even if they didn't involve direct fighting, like when Luke says "see you around kid"
25:00 while I don’t like to compliment this movie, it did show the difference in abilities of Kylo and Rey very well. They’re both naturally strong in the force due to their bloodlines, but Kylo truly knows how to wield a lightsaber. He knows when to strike and when not to. He knows how to conserve his energy. Rey doesn’t. And he abuses this and wins the duel... well... should have won it
Yep. No thought was put into prequels. The directors only care about the money
@@darthrevan9910 prequels?
@@CapCody Yes, prequels. I'd rather have a lightsaber fight that actually means something and is slow and cautious than have some people spin their sabers in a fancy way for 5 minutes.
@@dharampali2419 okay
@@dharampali2419 dont be like this guy kids! he is trying to defend the sequels with no research!
Kenobi loved to do a little unnecessary spin during a battle.
It's civilised
He was so elegant
He took Anakin's advice on good tricks
@@zenseizure1409 Vader: spinning isn't fighting Obi: but it's a good trick Vader: 🗿
The prequels will always be the best battles since it feels genuine with all of the movements feeling fast and on the spot. That's also why the new ones are soo bad. It always feels like they're winding up for a big hit like each of them is swinging an axe even though lightsabers are shown to be incredibly light. Also the choreography for the new fights are just god awful from the motions all the way to ignoring the laws of physics. Once again, the prequel fights just feel fluent and looks like it's realistic
I still remember being in the theater on opening day when Yoda pulled out his lightsaber to fight Count Dooku! The people in the theater (it was a sold out showing) went insane! For real everyone in the theater was going crazy! Lol!
Favourites from each trilogy: PT: Anakin vs Obi wan OT: Luke vs Vader(ROTJ) ST: Rey vs Kylo (TROS.)
Same!
The sequels just sucked. Even the duels sucked The only good shit in the sequels was Poe going absolute HAM on the empire at Mazs planet
The fight between Rey and Kylo was dog shit. That wasn't even a fight, such a huge disappointment in Starwars history stg. Dooku training Grievous was more intense then that bs lmaooooo the only good thing about those movies is bringing Sidious back that shit gave me goosbumps to the brain
rey vs kylo in tfa was the best sequel fight. It isnt good but it looks beautiful.
@@trevorkingsbury2646 ong the sequels suck
Can’t believe Ahsoka made it in here. My dreams are coming true 😭
Watch it the ahsoka series or whatever she fights barriss that will be sick.
Rosario Dawson (the actress, who played her) did a great job.
@@OrangeDragon04 There having Rosario do the Ahsoka series.
DUAL WHITE SABERS BABY ❤️👌
Ikr? I was so fucking happy. 😭😭😭😭
i think what i like about the sequel's fights is that every single strike you can feel their intent to kill and turn one another into a freaking shishkabob. What I love about the prequel's fights is how fast paced and at the same time elegant the fights are, it looks more dance like than fight like, like the fighters are trying to show who is the better swordsman and no so much who wants to kill the other more. And the originals, I love them for the fact that they do look elegant, and face-paced, but not as much as the prequels, which makes sense, considering the technology, it's much harder to animate someone swinging a light stick at high speeds, it's a lot easier with slower speeds, but also the original trilogy fights really showed the parallels between each fighter and their skill level. vader vs. kenobi, while kenobi was more skilled, he was much older and slower, making vader the better fighter, which they portray by having obi wan not being able to attack so much. in the first luke and vader fight, luke is obviously at a disadvantage, which they show by having luke use simpler strikes and constantly having to deflect vader's strikes away from him. In the final fight of vader and luke, both are at a similar skill level, which shows because they constantly are trading attacker and defender, making you pay very close attention to who may be winning.
