An unmatched scene. Every moment in the Star War movies comes to this one scene. The music is so unique because you can hear any music and recognize it as Star Wars but this one is sooo amazing and different. Duel of Fates and "No Luke, I am your father." ain't got nothing on this. This is the one moment where everybody shuts up to witness the epicness.
there's something tragic about the male fate in this scene that just almost brings me to tears. it's like how you absolutely have to surpass your father and sort of put him in the grave, you have to take his place while he becomes useless. i don't think there's ever been a more powerful father/son scene in a movie than this one.
Such an emotionally stronger scene. Luke striking Vaders saber when he fell lasted on a few seconds but was so much more powerful than the totally overdone Mustafar battle.
This is the ultimate Jedi vs. Sith duel emotionally. The light and dark sides of the force are literially fighting each other (Anakin was conceived from the Force). It would only make sense that the literal representations of the Force would be able to bring balance to the Force...and that they do.
This is how lightsaber fights should be. The things are supposed to be incredibly difficult to control, and when two people fight with them, it's as much a battle of technical skill as personal control and strength. In the new trilogy people handle lightsabers as if they're made of foam and weight 10 ounces. This is Star Wars and not DBZ or some ninja anime.

What an amazing scene. The shadow and light on Luke's face, the Godly score, the pure rage in Luke's attacks-I enjoy the prequels for what they are, but nothing can compare to this.
Someone actually gave this video a thumbs down? How broken does one have to be to dislike this? Let us pray they meant to hit the thumbs up, but were too drunk to successfully carry out their intended action.
@Marblez3 dude...you make me want to vomit. what do you think you would do with a lightsaber if you were filled with rage? twirl and flick it around perfectly or swing it around wildly and erratically hoping to crush darth vaders stupid face? christ...learn to understand that.
@RadicalMassacre I agree, the lightsabres where originally intended to feel like real swords and the battles where supposed to feel as real as possible. Luke swinging wildly like he's taking a sledge hammer to vader showing how real the scene is and how the darkside (anger and hate) gives you more power hell even animes (G Gundam Master Asia's Guiana Highlands duel) and kh birth by sleep allude to this constantly.
Luke almost losing himself to the Dark Side, completely snapping, wildly swinging his saber more like a baseball bat than a sword, completely blind with rage. One of the most emotionally powerful scenes in the entire series.
Hayden Christensen being unable to even scowl convincingly or deliver a single line without inducing physical pain in the audience during his final battle with Obi-Wan...turning what should have been the most powerful scenes in the series into one of the most pathetic.
Anakin's destiny as the Chosen One always seemed to me to be hijacked by the Sith. George Lucas' "he ultimately fulfilled the prophecy and brought balance to the force in the end" is lame. Why isn't it enough that he brought balance back within himself?
Hundreds of billions of people die, the Chosen One kills nearly the entire Jedi Order, and the second he and Palpatine kick the bucket everything is all rainbows and sunshine with the Force? Really? C'mon.
@DrTruthiness thats just the end of the movies, theres alots of books that contunie the story. this palpatines "death" isnt the end of the empire nor the end of the sith
@DrTruthiness true. I love what hapends in the jedu knight games. Luke has a good story and overall everything else evolves nicely. Hell my favorite jedi Kyle Katarn comes fourth. Witch makes 2 Overpowered jedis Luke and Kyle.
@RadicalMassacre Nothing in the Prequels is as bad as Mark Hamill and the Ewoks.... Love the series as a whole but there is alot in the old trilogy that is groan inducing too
the Force was with George Lucas then ... but once he did the new episodes - he failed :( can you compare this little epic video above to the jumping flying Korean style ``jedis'' from episodes 1,2, and 3?
As a child I've always been criticizing how chessy those cg are, how the swordplays are not excited as the prequel e.t.c. But now as I have watched these movies again, I realized that how amazing these movies actually are
@DrTruthiness The reason is they brought in professional choreographers for the prequels. While not bad in it of itself, they put so much effort into perfect choreography, that no human being could possibly be doing such fancy moves in the middle of a fight, and our brain realizes that. As such, we lose all emotional involvement. The ultimate irony is that a much simpler fight here is much more interesting than a perfectly choreographed fight scene between Anakin and Count Dooku.
Except that Vader did bring balance to the force at the end of episode III. The force was heavily balance to good. When he was done there were 2 Jedi and 2 Sith left.
@theeducatedfool I agree. Though I loved the darth maul fight, the music + choreography was great. But this fight was way more important and emotional.
I dont like the ending. Luke should have killed Vader. Not in anger, or rage, or for vengence. He should have said, "You are not my father. You are a sith, a shell of a once great man. He is dead now. My father is dead. I am not killing him I am killing you. I must kill you. For the greater good. Im sorry." Then kill him. If Anikin was able to turn back then it ruins the entire point of having a dark side. Vader needed to die. And then luke would be killed. And then the explostion, It would work
@greenpeices Except the Jedi believe that no one is beyond redemption and Luke had been saying he could still feel the good in Vader and the internal conflict. Plus Vader's turning against Palpatine fulfilled his prophecy to bring balance to the Force.
@seisan9 Yes, but the prophecy didnt exist until The Phantom Menace. And Yoda said once you turn to the dark side, forever will it cloud your destiny. You cant establish an idea as a law of nature and then go back on it. Its a cheap ending to a bad movie. I belive that Episode Six was the begining of the bad Star Wars movies.
@seisan9 No. The fullfillment of the prophecy occurred when Vader hunted and destroyed the remaining Jedi leaving only Dark Side - Vader & Emperor vs Light Side - Yoda & Obi Wan. That was the bringing balance to the force.
@seisan9 you sure? i always figured the prophecy was just misunderstood. that "balance" actually meant an equal balance between light and dark, not the irradication of the dark side.
that would be a horrid ending, that's not what a true Jedi would do. Luke strayed into the dark but resisted and knew that Vader could still be saved, and still felt love for his father, despite all that had happened. Vader was nothing like Palpatine in that respect.
@HelmutVillam Horrid compared to what? A bunch of muppet bears dancing in a after defeating an entire army who had bases and fleets in several systems all across the universe.
Man, I haven't seen more brutal, cunnung and twisted movie villain than the Emperor! The way he looks at Luke when he refuses to turn to the Dark Side ( 2:52 ) just makes my guts shrink!
"You've failed, your Highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me."
That single line was the culmination of Luke's entire training through all 3 movies. Everything was building up to that, when you think about it.
Some people might say that Luke was silly for throwing away his lightsaber (and it is true on its face), but they fail to understand that throwing it away was SYMBOLIC of his complete and total rejection of the dark side. Luke was saying he would rather die than turn.
@TheAle89515 I totally agree! What I really believe about that particular scene is that Luke made the decision to throw away his lightsaber because of the example set by Ben Kenobi in A New Hope. Perhaps Ben foresaw an inevitable confrontation that would test Luke--he wanted to teach Luke the true difference between the light and dark side. Luke didn't understand Ben's sacrifice in A New Hope, but when Luke saw his father's stub and heard the Emperor's words, it clicked.
That scene gives me major goosebumps no matter how many times I see it. The most powerful moment of the whole saga. And I do like how the lightsaber duels in the original trilogy felt more raw and less flashy. I'm not a prequel hater but they did over do it a bit with the flips and such during the lightsaber duels. The Luke/Vader duels were much more dramatic.
I hope Christopher Noland directs the remakes. Episode 1 and 2 just really gave me post traumatic stress syndrome, I mean really they were terrible. I personally believe the premise was great but the choice of actors was a tragedy. And I really didn't like the direction. Lucas should still be the guy for special effects, production, and basic political philosophy but damn... I mean damn those 2 movies were awful. If you like those movies than how can you appreciate 3-6. I liked episode 3.
@NYG5 Luke suddenly was overcome with rage and became 10 times faster and more powerful than Vader. Vader couldn't keep up and fell over, the reason being he was overwhelmed, just as Luke was in the ESB.
HAHAAHA I ALONE HAVE THE POWER TO RUIN THAT PERFECTLY GREEN LIKE BAR MWA HAHAHA. GIVE ME ALL THUMBS UP, OR I WILL RUIN THAT GREEN WITH A LITTLE RED >:)
@AsafSchnider They didn't really have the special effects technology or stunt techniques available when they made this film to have the intricate battles of the prequel movies. Anyway, I tend to agree with TheBlitzs' comment, that this battle, while not as impressively co-ordinated, carried far more emotion.
It's as bad as you say. The reason why the flashiness of episode 1-3 isn't here was because all the Jedi who knew how to do those flashy things are well... DEAD! And all Luke has to go on was the teachings of Yoda and Obi-Wan which were kinda short lived (Obi-Wan died at Death Star 1 before he could teach Luke anything else, while Luke ditched Yoda to save his friends).
ya know, so many badmouth JEDI just because of the muppet stuff and the Ewoks, but personally I'd take fuzzballs and puppets any day if it included this scene, which was the scariest, yet coolest thing as a young kid. Just the score alone.....Awesome 4 Ever
@Xboxlove1 That's because the Anakin Skywalker George Lucas has shoved down your throat is a commericalized, generic, dull, and boring character, rather than one who should have prinicples, wise, and has a complicated life that ended up in tragedy, detsroying all good in him. Duh.
you know, whenever I see this in It's A Trap!, I always yell out, "AND THIS, IS, FOR, RIPPING, OFF, THE SIMPSONS!" when Luke is slashing repeatedly at the end of the fight.
Only True Star Wars fans have learnt to appreciate all 6 films, they're all essential and epic in their own way. The music in this makes this scene so epic that i actually felt sorry for Vader :|
Same here man. That hit hit where I live (pounds chest by heart). Every time I watch this scene I feel connected to both Luke's anger and feel for Darth Vader. The Music gives me goosebumps every time. It true is "EPIC"!
They could have made all the sense in the world (they didn't, however) and still have been bad. They lacked the spirit, adventure, and the originality.
Starwars was the introduction to a world unseen to us. A prequel based on a more fit-age should have done that in spades. I have written my own version of the prequels and am more happy with them.
This is much better than the prequels: Better camera work, more emotion, better sets, more consequences, better acting, better story, just all around better. Maybe Lucas needs to take a lesson from his own movies.
@paulogomescoelho "Battle Of Endor II" is 11minutes long and includes the Track "Final Duel / Into the Death Star", that is the one you are searching ;)
@TheBlitz1 This or the Phantom menace pace and feel of dueling was the best in my eyes, Phantom Menace had a feeling of determination of concentration put into action, whereas this scene had a more emotional side. Revenge of the Sith however felt so horribly over-done.
@TheBlitz1 Actually, the duel was especially well done with the masterpeice "Duel of The Fates", it retained it's sense of realism and actually portrayed emotional aspects and their effects whilst retaining a sense of pace, maybe not up to scratch with say the Throne Room battle or the classic Obi-Wan VS Darth Vader duel scene; yet still a well orchestrated chapter in the otherwise abominable film The Phantom Menace.
It's a choreographed dance recital....sure you can have "skillz" and what not....but at no point do...well _any_ of the prequel duels feel like what they're supposed to be: two people trying to _KILL_ one another.
Even if you took the two most skilled swordsmen in the world today, and put them in a duel _to the death_....it would _not_ be graceful, eloquent, or neat. At the end of the day, it's two humans trying to murder one another with really big blades.
Allow me to put down your whole argument... these guys are Jedi (well, save perhaps for Maul) they're trained to refrain from becoming aggressive and giving into anger.
One thing I will always fail to understand about Luke/Leia. If Leia was truly his sister, and would obviously have force powers, why then didn't Vader sense them when he had her in custody in Episode 4. Surely with his talent, and that of the emperor they had to have sensed them.
@Paigeshusband Hmm, as far as I know Leia wasn't force sensitive. So Darth Vader couldn't feel it if the Force wasn't there. Her mother wasn't force sensitive, also. The " maybe she will turn to the dark side " which Vader uses, doesn't necessarily mean that she'll turn to the dark side of the force, but to the Imperial Army. It can also be seen as a way to provoke Luke out of hiding. It doesn't matter who her parents are, the Force chooses who it wants, it's not a something that's passed on.
An unmatched scene. Every moment in the Star War movies comes to this one scene. The music is so unique because you can hear any music and recognize it as Star Wars but this one is sooo amazing and different. Duel of Fates and "No Luke, I am your father." ain't got nothing on this. This is the one moment where everybody shuts up to witness the epicness.

@AsafSchnider They didn't really have the special effects technology or stunt techniques available when they made this film to have the intricate battles of the prequel movies. Anyway, I tend to agree with TheBlitzs' comment, that this battle, while not as impressively co-ordinated, carried far more emotion.

@AsafSchnider
It's as bad as you say. The reason why the flashiness of episode 1-3 isn't here was because all the Jedi who knew how to do those flashy things are well... DEAD! And all Luke has to go on was the teachings of Yoda and Obi-Wan which were kinda short lived (Obi-Wan died at Death Star 1 before he could teach Luke anything else, while Luke ditched Yoda to save his friends).

@Xboxlove1 That's because the Anakin Skywalker George Lucas has shoved down your throat is a commericalized, generic, dull, and boring character, rather than one who should have prinicples, wise, and has a complicated life that ended up in tragedy, detsroying all good in him. Duh.

Only True Star Wars fans have learnt to appreciate all 6 films, they're all essential and epic in their own way. The music in this makes this scene so epic that i actually felt sorry for Vader :|

Same here man. That hit hit where I live (pounds chest by heart). Every time I watch this scene I feel connected to both Luke's anger and feel for Darth Vader. The Music gives me goosebumps every time. It true is "EPIC"!

gogman25 6 months ago
@OConnor9920 I disagree.
The films lacked the right spirit of Starwars.
They could have made all the sense in the world (they didn't, however) and still have been bad. They lacked the spirit, adventure, and the originality.
Starwars was the introduction to a world unseen to us. A prequel based on a more fit-age should have done that in spades. I have written my own version of the prequels and am more happy with them.
Don't insult fans with taste please.

This is much better than the prequels: Better camera work, more emotion, better sets, more consequences, better acting, better story, just all around better. Maybe Lucas needs to take a lesson from his own movies.

see how they fight, its like a real fight with emotion, not all coordinated
and the fight is not the point of the scene like in the fake star wars movies
the fight is just an expression of not understanding or being able to manage feelings

Chris9183 1 year ago
@TheBlitz1 This or the Phantom menace pace and feel of dueling was the best in my eyes, Phantom Menace had a feeling of determination of concentration put into action, whereas this scene had a more emotional side. Revenge of the Sith however felt so horribly over-done.
gogman25 6 months ago
@gogman25 the phantom menace was the worst movie ever made, it had no plot, no main character, no emotions, no continuity, etc. etc. etc.
it was basically created for kids 13 and younger

@TheBlitz1 Arn't you a genius? It did however, have one of the best saber duels in the series.

@gogman25 yeah its cool if your a kid, for an adult its just overkill silly unnecessary action
TheBlitz1 6 months ago
@TheBlitz1 Actually, the duel was especially well done with the masterpeice "Duel of The Fates", it retained it's sense of realism and actually portrayed emotional aspects and their effects whilst retaining a sense of pace, maybe not up to scratch with say the Throne Room battle or the classic Obi-Wan VS Darth Vader duel scene; yet still a well orchestrated chapter in the otherwise abominable film The Phantom Menace.

@gogman25
It's a choreographed dance recital....sure you can have "skillz" and what not....but at no point do...well _any_ of the prequel duels feel like what they're supposed to be: two people trying to _KILL_ one another.
Even if you took the two most skilled swordsmen in the world today, and put them in a duel _to the death_....it would _not_ be graceful, eloquent, or neat. At the end of the day, it's two humans trying to murder one another with really big blades.

One thing I will always fail to understand about Luke/Leia. If Leia was truly his sister, and would obviously have force powers, why then didn't Vader sense them when he had her in custody in Episode 4. Surely with his talent, and that of the emperor they had to have sensed them.
Paigeshusband 1 year ago
@Paigeshusband Hmm, as far as I know Leia wasn't force sensitive. So Darth Vader couldn't feel it if the Force wasn't there. Her mother wasn't force sensitive, also. The " maybe she will turn to the dark side " which Vader uses, doesn't necessarily mean that she'll turn to the dark side of the force, but to the Imperial Army. It can also be seen as a way to provoke Luke out of hiding. It doesn't matter who her parents are, the Force chooses who it wants, it's not a something that's passed on.
