5. Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda vs Count Dooku
Which movie is the scene from? Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones (2002)
What makes this fight so good? Christopher Lee is an impressive actor, and he shows that in Episode 2 when he fights against Anakin and Obi-Wan. He has his own atmosphere, and when you see him in scenes, he draws all attention to himself.
In the fight, he significantly differs from the other fighters. He exhibits a certain elegance, and how he dominates the two Jedi at first is truly impressive. In the original, this is only further emphasized by his voice. You can tell that he had a lot of experience with fencing and sword fighting through his filmography.
In the fight with Yoda, he further shows that as a herald of the dark side, he also resorts to nasty tricks when necessary.
4. Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader (Final Battle)
Which movie is the scene from? Star Wars Episode 6: Return of the Jedi (1983)
What makes this fight so good? At the end of Episode 6, there is also the internal struggle of Luke. Should he succumb to his hate to win the fight against his father? This is also represented in the battle. He does not want to fight at all; he actually wants to remain loyal to the light side of the Force.
This internal struggle is also evident in the choreography. While Luke initially even flees to avoid succumbing to his hate, at times he sinks into it. This is also represented in his sword strikes.
He is wild, aggressive, and really brutal. This contrasts with Vader, who swings his lightsaber calmly and imposingly. However, he does not deliver the final blow, even saving his father, who was poisoned by the dark side. The best ending one could wish for a Star Wars film.
3. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn vs Darth Maul
Which movie is the scene from? Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (1999)
What makes this fight so good? One of the coolest characters from the prequels is undoubtedly Darth Maul. Every one of his appearances is a highlight in Episode 1. Not only is his design fantastic, but so is his fighting style. No weapon fits the fast choreography of the prequels as well as his double lightsaber.
Paired with the soundtrack Duel of the Fates
, watching it nearly becomes a trance. There is not much dialogue. Darth Maul only wants to fight. It becomes a dance that is eagerly followed.
You could criticize the backgrounds in the fight, which do not always look optimal; however, as a film from 1999, this can be forgiven.
