  • My favourite will always be Yoda vs Senator Palpatine in the Congress.

  • @Littledude514 completely agree with number 1, who cares if it has the best special effects of all of the 6 it wouldn't even matter if it was the first that duel pretty much creates the entire storyline

  • As awesome as light saber fights are, when you really watch what they do it seems really repetitive, and almost slow paced.

    The animated The Old Repeblic trailers did a good job of making the fights longer and more fast paced.

    Next time they make a star wars movie they should use people with tons of martial arts and sword fights experience

  • what skywalker is number 6 are you serious at least top 3

  • Good but not in order lol

  • What's wrong with Yoda vs Darth Sidious?

  • Obi wan and qui gon vs maul is the best imo. If any of these seemed real, that duel was the most realistic.

  • This battle: Obi-Wan Kenobi VS. Darth Maul, was the only time Obi-wan fought with anger.

  • Isn't there only like 10 saber fights? lol

  • The best one was Luke and Vader in Empire Strikes Back, you can see the emotion between them and the fear of Luke

  • Just to throw in my two cents, I personally think that your #2 was #1, and #1 was a little further up. I felt that the Darth Maul duel had the touch of realism that the Anakin vs Kenobi duel didn't have. Just my opinion. :)

  • best lightsaber fighter ever: obi wan. takes down darth maul, general grievous, and young darth vader

  • the parts i like on lightsaber duels are when those sabers spinning, swaying like a real sword..

  • The new movies are not nearly as good as the originals kupo....

  • I prefer the old Movies, but I think Yoda's lightsaber fight was by far the most awesome...because it took over a quarter century since the first movie before they finally gave us a fight with Yoda.

  • Yoda vs sidious ? WTF ...

  • I agree with most of these, although Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon vs. Maul is my personal favorite (and when Grievous whips out 4 lightsabers at once that was pretty frikkin awesome) but w/b Yoda vs. Palpatine. That should've been 3 or 4...

  • Maul fights are best for 1 fact: Ray Park as Maul could have (and should have) cleaned the floor with jedi bodies. Park's history with martial arts & sword fighting shines, and makes McGregor and Neeson look amateur. Honestly, why else did the film makers need to razzle-dazzel us with Obi-wan flipping over Maul? Because, NEVER would Maul (or Park) let his guard down - so we got that unbelievable flipping distraction. Bullshit. Maul should have won.

  • Ironic, the list started with Obi-Wan(Ben) vs. Anakin(Darth Vader) and it ends with Obi-Wan(Ben) vs. Anakin(Darth Vader)

  • @Retrofan How the hell is that ironic? Do you even know what ironic means?

  • anikan vs obi wan was epic but it wasnt the BEST duel. it was mostly them dodging lava

  • Come on now man. You completely left out the Yoda v. Palpatine fight. How do you do that. I agree with the top two, but that fight is definitely number #3

  • @KadeshFlow I kind of wondered that too, but it can be excused because that was mostly a battle of the Force, and lightsabers weren't the major factor.

  • Obi- Wan Kanobi has never fought Anakin Skywalker... He fought Darth Vader  two times...

  • Prequel Trilogy: #1 - Anakin VS Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Trilogy: #1 - Luke VS Lord Vader in Return Of The Jedi

    But all duels are great! ;)

  • The only thing that bothers me about Vader (Anakin) V Obi-Wan is the lightsabers. It's such a fast paced duel and would have been easier to appreciate if Obi-Wan had a green saber.

  • @arabiansanchez Or if Anakin had a red one.

  • @nilas20 Yeah, that would probably have been cooler. They'd have had to incorporate a way for Obi-Wan to get Anakin's blue saber earlier on though, since he gives it to Luke.

  • @arabiansanchez Oh yes, you're right. I didn't think about that.  :-)

  • Number one and two should be switched and yoda vs palpatine should b on the list

  • Great vid, but I disagree with most of them. SO many people are biased towards the new movies. People were going nuts just to see someone swing a lightsaber in the 1st (A new Hope) movie. Obviously the new ones are better choreographed fights so by default, the new ones are superior. But if your taking just the "Oh shit" factor and the intrigue, some of the older ones would score higher. And no way is the Darth Maul fights better than EITHER of the Dooku/Anakin/Obi fights. Yoda/Dooku is #1

  • @Wik2011 I see what you're saying. People went nuts over The Phantom Menace, but then the same people hate it and blame Lucas for making it (so they have nothing to say). Yoda vs Dooku is a pretty sweet fight, but the Darth Maul fight is just awesome! The choreography, the music, the two jedis versus the villain, AWESOME!

    But I see what you mean.

  • @Littledude514 You're right to ignore the nostalgia of the old movies in favour of the new ones. Objectively, the prequel's duels are much better.

  • @Wik2011 actually they are so over coriagrapherd in the new ones (forgive my spelling) that its actually worse

  • @drifter402 Ya, I didn't come right out and say that, but I agree 100%. ESPECIALLY in the case of the Darth Maul/Obi/Qui-Gon fight. I was in awe the first few times I saw it like everyone else. But When I watched JUST The fight. And the movements, it really spoiled the fight. The way they moved tipped what would happen next (Not the actors fault, that stuff is hard) but they really over did it. Hence I am more fond of the Episode 2 and 3 duels. They had action but weren't robotic.

  • good job, i agree with number 1 even tho its a prequel i still love them and it was the best duel

  • number 9 was over in the first 10 second dude, no contest

  • You forgot sidious vs yoda, and grevious vs obi wan should be second .

    luke vs vader sucks.

  • Nice list but it would've been Better if Yoda vs Sidious replaced ben vs vader

  • obi vs vader sucked

    

  • you forgot yoda vs sidious

  • Yoda is so cute :D

  • What a fantastic video the creator of this video did. I was writing a blog for my wife and just happened to come across it. I wanted to thank the original poster. This was great!

  • Number 6 is technically Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader (Round 2). Number 3 is technically Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker vs. Count Dooku (Round 2).

  • they aren't the best dules because you cut them short

  • 8:43 how awesome is this moment!!!!!!

  • prequel duels are sterile shit

  • I had a hunch that Obi vs Anakin would be no.1

  • wait, rate 5 stars, must be from 1st gen youtube.

  • i loved every duel, from ben vs vader, to yoda vs sidious. the buildup to all of them is so tense.

    episode II is my favourite,

  • I think that anakin looks like some one who'd use a green saber

  • 51 people believe hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side.

  • I agree with this list pretty much.

  • Obi Wan vs. Anakin #1

    Obi Wan vs. Darth Maul #2

  • It's actually Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi, Dude!

  • @DyukRyuk yeah how do you plan to show a book duel in a movie format?

  • Top 10? Aren't there only 10?

  • @NobleReliance No, there's Darth Sidious vs. Master Yoda

  • For #9, i believe they are all Jedi Masters. Although the 3 that died are a disgrace...died so easily...

  • @Bludgeoned2DEATH2 the only reason why it doesn't look impressive is because the guy playing palpatine is an old man in real life. He can't make big impressive stunts to kill the jedi.

  • @MrFFwinner No lol what I mean is that three Jedi that are suppose to be masters, died so quickly at the hands of an old man. 

  • @Bludgeoned2DEATH2 Yeah, they died in seconds. 

  • Remember! Guys!

    Its not about plot, scheme, moments turning..

    It's about fight, with that lightsaber!

    Great Job, uploader!

    For turning points or upsetting plot, search IGN or IMDB, ty

  • @brgvc Exactly! Thanks for pointing out the purpose of the video!

  • Very tough to choose between #1 and #2, maul was my personal favorite. But grievous was annoying for me, purely because he wasn't actually a jedi/sith.

  • #6 is my personal #1. "If you will not join me...perhaps...she...will!" Everything that follow from that point is epic. Obi-won and Anakin's battle is pretty epic too though on a grander scale.

  • Oh, this video is only taking into account the movie based duels. There were better duels in the books and general lore.

  • Comment removed

  • What about sidious vs yoda in second place? that was a pretty great battle

  • i think the best scene, though it was short, was the quick battle between obi-wan and darth maul right after qui-gon was killed. seeing the spark of anger in him that gave him the ability to open up a giant can of whoop-ass was just awesome.

    it said in one of the ultimate star wars guides somewhere that he nearly turned to the dark side in that instance, though qui-gon's last words gave him a purpose and a reason to not give in to his rage, which is just epic.

  • @iamsoooosweet2468 starts at 7:11

  • @iamsoooosweet2468 Very good point! That is a pretty awesome part of the fight.

  • @iamsoooosweet2468 I agree with you in that it's a really good fight. I also believe that it earned the #2 spot. Obi-Wan vs. Anakin was the best IMO because there was no clear winner. No one side had the advantage, as they both knew every trick and move the other had. Anakin had strength & stamina, Obi-Wan had skill & determination. You could see in the end that they were both exhausted, because they'd given it their all. You can't say that about any other fight, because no fight went that far.

  • @sergeantassassin2 that's a pretty valid point. I would definitely put that fight right at #2 and the sequence between yoda and count dooku at third just because of how you didn't expect this little 800-year-old green guy whose "ally is the force" to go major apeshit with a lightsaber. i have to wonder, though, did sidious sense that darth maul was about to be beaten right before obi-wan cut him down, similarly to how he did when obi-wan fought vader on mustafar?

  • @iamsoooosweet2468 Yoda may have been 900 years old, but he still was able to harness the most Force power out of any Jedi in the order, thus letting him pull off all of those flashy moves. That being said, it was a waste of his power to do so. Flashy moves are just that, flashy with no real practical purpose. If he was going for an intimidation factor, he got it.

  • @iamsoooosweet2468 As for Maul's demise, I suspect Sidious sensed him in danger, but couldn't do anything even if he wanted to. If he revealed himself, the Jedi would know that Maul was not the master, and he would also give away his presence in the Senate, ruining his plans of a surprise assault. It took him DECADES to put this plot together, and he was not about to throw it away for some incompetent apprentice who couldn't even handle a padawan. He let him die with a smile on his face.

  • @sergeantassassin2 oh i totally agree with that, palpatine wouldnt have tried to stop his death by revealing himself in the process. i doubt, however, that he was very pleased that his apprentice was about to die. this being before he discovered anakin of course. the star wars comics showed sidious training maul from childhood. i believe he had always intended to take over the galaxy with maul at his side even though in the end he proved to be expendable. im sure he was pissed

  • mace windu vs palpatine could have been so much better

  • You must be joking! That garbage before Empire!!!!??? GRRRRR. Idiot.

  • why u put luke vs vader twice

  • I would of put Luke vs Vader at number 1, I love that whole scene.

  • yes the best battle is Anakin Skywalker vs Obi-Wan Kenobi

  • obi-wan and anakin vs dooku above luke vs. vader in episode 5? disagree

  • In the original series, the duels were somewhat sterile.

  • @Shade202Studios

    couldn't disagree more, the originals were interesting and had substance, they had story behind them and weren't just pointless twirly nonsense. There is no substance to the new films, they're just awful

  • i agree with your choice for number one, former master vs former apprentice fighting, surrounded by lava and shit fallin down like armageddon, EPIC

  • ben vs darth vader in episode 4 was as boring as hell...

  • darth maul saberfight is always the best

  • say what you want about the prequels, but the third movie is extremely good.

  • Empire is number 4?! Should be number 1.

  • Why isn't yoda VS darth siddious in it?

  • Pretty sure Jar Jar had the greatest lightsaber duel of all time...

  • where is yoda vs the emperor? it should be on this list.

  • I think the best lightsaber fights go to the new "The Old Republic" Cinematics /watch?v=iXPgZ3DWc5E and /watch?v=YQf1nas8BO4

  • @Yeochins i agreed

  • Comment removed

  • Anakin was more powerful than obi wan in this and better fighter with a lightsaber but not as wise.

  • how do you create the beginning space scroll text thing like in the beginning of the movies?

  • number 1 Ryan vs Dorkman.............WTF

  • The "awesomeness degree" between the fights from the old movies VS the prequels is MASSIVE, the film makers truly mastered the lightsaber tecnique by The Phantom Manace

  • If I was a Jedi I would have a black lightsaber

  • no fucking fair yoda can break dance while fight dooku? definitly one with the force

  • GENERAL GREIVOUS AND DARTH MAUL 4EVER!!! WITH ANAKIN TOO!!

  • when I started watching this video i knew which would be the number 1

  • 1:54 if i was anakin i would be dizzy

  • This video haves a cool green lightsaber.

  • I don` t think Yoda vs count dooku was that epic

  • which was the longest duel??

  • @MrGoodvideos101 anakin vs obiwan

  • its chancellor not senator

  • I have to say I still like the Darth Maul fight more than Obi-Wan vs. Anakin, because it still does look the most like a real swordfight... Dunno its just my opininion, even though the latter did have alot more psychological conflict, Master vs. Apprentice, Brother vs. Brother, Friend vs. Friend... But as I said, #2 is still top for me.

  • What about yoda and sideous???

  • 47 дибилов посмотрели это видео

  • Those were really cool duels, but what about when yoda vs darth sidious in episode 3? That was an awsome duel.

  • saw the number one duel a mile away

  • great video but personally id swap 1 and 2 around. but thats just me haha

  • whatever you think of the 1-3, they had some amazing saber battles. obi-wan vs. anikin stands out as an amazingly tense moment in my life. the "i got the high ground" moment was kinda hokey, but that whole fight was sorta something i was waiting to see since i was a kid and it didn't disappoint.

  • Anakin should have used force strike at 8:03 :P

  • I had indeed a very strong feeling what lightsaber duel you'd choose for number 1.

  • @77J

    You must have Jedi reflexes then, let me bring you to Coruscant

    to meet with the Jedi Council. You will be a Jedi. I promise.

  • Where is Yoda vs Palpatine???!!!

  • i forgot to put jedi between those and went

  • how come in ep 3 those went down easily and in the cartoons they are all badass stupid clone wars cartoons

  • General Grevious please no cheating just 1 lightsaber

  • so anakin can beat dooku but yoda cant? wtf and why was yoda not killed by anakin dude?

  • @MrSeanmcgall yoda couldve beaten dooku had dooku not run, but remember at the time of ROTS anakin is a level 9 in lightsaber combat, (same level as yoda, palpatine and mace) and arguably the best of his time.

  • @rapidcore100 rofl, mace was ten times better then palpatine. When they fought he wiped the floor with the wrinkly bastard.

  • @HohHoch Palpatine isnt that bad lol. Idk if youve read the books but palpatine has force insight so he can see into the future and know what will happen when. Palpatine knew he couldn't beat mace 1v1 in lightsaber alone, and rather than just easily kill him with the force he let mace beat him so when anakin came he could completely engross him into the dark side.

  • @rapidcore100 yeah this is true and for the people who didnt know the emperor didnt completely die in Star Wars VI

  • @gmdrcaf that is also true

  • kitt dies like a pussy

  • wicked saber duals man

  • Nice job, but u should switch around the Luke vs Vader fights. The one in episode 6 was better.

  • This is the whole reason i watch Star wars

  • Comment removed

  • I notice that at the return of the jedi that the light sabers of darth vader and ben kenobi is thin

  • この動画Japanで見てんのmeだけ?

    Japanでもスターウォーズは人気だよ(^O^)/

    Star Wars is very popular in Japan!

    やっぱムスタファー(^-^)/

  • #9 Should be changed from Knights to Masters. Also that fight was terrible.

  • where is yoda vs palpatinne??

  • the original lightsaber blades aren't just white. and the the prequel trilogy is just fake ass cgi

  • "master yoda..."

    "Count dooku..."

  • ムスタファーの戦いいいよね~

  • number five--- YODA HAD SOME SODA!

  • jedis were like a gipsys.. always 2 on 1 :D

  • Return of the Jedi wins. I know it's not the best choreographed, and not the most exciting, but it is absolutely the most compelling. Plus, I do enjoy the old fashioned broad sword style of fighting.

  • Luke vs Vader (Round 1) will always be the best imo.

  • You do realize there were only something like 13 lightsaber duels in TOTAL in the entire series? You basically ranked them. For the most part I agree, but you forgot Yoda v. Palpatine

  • WOW!!!!! Amazing! Those are the best lightsaber battles on YouTube, man!

  • @chiphenley Thanks a lot! :)

  • obi vs vadar (1979) was so crap LOL

  • @Fondrom It was an old man against a half-machine XD but the dialog was badass

  • 8:50 SOMETIMES WHEN WE TOUCH....

  • Thumbs up if you tried to spin your lightsaber like Obi-Wan in 8:44

  • A prequel hater needs to explain to me how the mundane ligghtsaber duel between anakin and obi wan episode 4 is better then episode 3. And don't give me no fanboy response. I want legit reasons. Cause the idea stumps me personally.

  • @Jerseymatt88 watch redlettermedia's review on the phantom menace. the whole review is split up into 7 parts. watch part 6. he gives an entire analysis on the lightsaber battles in star wars.

  • he was

  • I consider both dooku vs anakin and obi wan and dooku vs yoda one fight. You frickin missed sidious vs yoda. Oh and qui gon vs darth maul on tatooine...haha

  • you made a mistake.. the palpatine fight was against Jedi Masters.. which make the fight more depressing.

  • @Tenacityful IKR, Sidious owned jedi masters.That means either Sidous is all mighty, or the Masters just suck. and I thin it's the latter.

  • @kaylalun123 They were trying to portray Sidious to be powerful, but it came out to be that the Jedi looked incompetant with two Masters being killed in the first three seconds, and the attacks made from Sidious could have been easily countered, because they were quite slow and awkward.

  • #1 and 2 are the best

  • Even without the awesome choreography, I'd put Vader vs Luke (both of them) in top 2, simply because they had much more meaning to them than this prequel shit.

  • @jediflamaster

    You're over-critical on the prequels, the prequels were fantastic, most prequels are fails but the star wars one was great, it made perfect sense & went into the sequels.

    Obi vs Anakin will be the best one, because it actually had meaning to it aswell & it was brilliantly choreographed, Best star wars duel hands down

  • @Fondrom

    Enjoy your special effects, I prefer some story.

  • Is Vader VS Kenobi better than Yoda VS Sideus? WTF?

  • 8:44 I CAN SPIN MINE FASTER THAN YOU!

  • @DassidaFilms Me too xD

  • holy crap imagine how much practice they did to get these long ass lightsaber fights down!

  • @redtib2003 For the end fight in Revenge of the Sith, Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christenson practiced and choreographed their fight for months. It was a lot of hard work for the actors in the prequel. But it was SO worth it! Amazing fights!

  • Comment removed

  • #9

    it should be Chancellor Palpatine. Not Senator.

    Good video overall. :)

  • you forgot the best fight ever! ryan vs dorkman!!

  • @AcielLeviathan666 Ah, dang, you're right! Haha! :)

  • lightsaber fights arent about cool settings and super choreographed fighting...theyre about the emotion and symbolisim. in return of the jedi when looks is just whaling on vader and screams, is one of the most iconic moments ever in movie history.

  • @3056398 I like these different fights for different reasons.

  • @3056398 Yes they are about good choreographing just as much as they symbolism,otherwise it's too easy to wonder why one of them didn't just use the force and choke the other,as is the case with #10.

    Besides all the fights have meaning despite what you Prequel haters would like to think .The Dooku battles foreshadow Anakin's fall,Windu against Palpatine is key to how powerful Palpatine really is,and Anakin vs Obi-Wan really brings out the gut-wrenching anguish.

  • @3056398

    I'd argue with you about there being no emotion in any of the Prequel duels (As I think there is in a couple of them, not necessarily all of them), but I get the feeling that that would probably be like trying to convince a fundamentalist Christian that the theory of evolution is true.

  • Darth Vader vs. obi wan episode 4 their moves are nothing compared to episode 3 think about it they fought like crazy in episode 3 and episode 4 seems like their just bored

  • no way luke skywalker vs darth vader shouldbe #6 thats top 3 material right there

  • 1=NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOO!

    6=Yes
