not yoda fighting, just that pan around him and the buildup music...it just seemed...unstarwars i guess.i just think it should have been more subtle on the intro.
I understand what you're saying. 😉 Yeah they did build that scene up, I kind of liked that music that went with it, but it wasn't on the soundtrack! 😠 Oh well, that's just me. Maybe the Yoda Vs. Sidious duel will be even better, and hopefully a bit longer as well.
i get the feeling the yoda/sidious duel will be 90% posturing and trash talking...(like the yoda/dooku duel) but i'm fine with that. i always wanted to hear a conversation/conflict between the ultimate jedi and ultimate sith.
as far as the yoda buildup, i remember seeing the AotC commercial for the DVD and they showed that same scene with no music whatsoever. just the click as the saber flew into yoda's hand, and the sound of it igniting, and i found it to be way cooler.
Dude you're right, I've seen that as well and it's really cool also. It it's on the TV Spot section of the AOTC DVD. They pan around Yoda with no music, just the ignition of the saber, and I liked that as well.
Did you happen to see the one where they make it look like it's a Spider-Man trailer, but it's Yoda. 😂 It says "This Summer......Take the ultimate spin, with this years....greatest action hero....then it cuts and shows Yoda pulling out his saber.

I like that idea. I had heard that the fighting would be extremely fast in the Yoda v Sidious battle so I hope that there are some breaks for some interaction between the two as well as some force powers used.
I also remember hearing that there was at least some dialouge that was cut from the Ep 2 Lightsaber scenes as well as Dooku fighting with two sabers, his and a blue one.
As for Obi v Anakin I think there will be alot of trash talking heading into the fight then throughout it rather than them breaking the fighting off at points to talk.
Is this just Jedi duals, or duals in general? If it is duals in general, you can't forget when Obi-Wan fought Jenga Fett on the landing platform, that scene kicked...
And my favorite Jedi duals are:
1) Luke vs Vader Episode 5
2) Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan vs Maul Episode 1
3) Luke vs Vader/vs Emperor Episode 6
(and no need to mention I think Anakin vs Jedi Council is gonna be good 😄 )
I'm including what I'll assume will be the coolest out of Episode 3 as well. Although I haven't seen the footage, and I don't know if these are all the duels, I'll throw in what I know.
1. Obi-Wan vs Anakin/Vader
2. Grievous vs Obi-Wan
3. Palpatine vs Yoda
4. Mace vs Palpatine/Anakin
5. Maul vs Obi-Wan
6. Luke vs Vader (Episode VI)
7. Dooku vs Anakin (Episode III)
8. Maul vs Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan
9. Luke vs Vader (Episode V)
10. Dooku vs Yoda
11. Dooku vs Anakin (Episode II)
12. Quick Vader vs random Jedi duels in the temple
13. Dooku vs Obi-Wan
14. Obi-Wan vs Vader (Episode IV)
Yeah his body itself is not changed, but the head is. Lee has a CG head, and another person's body. Poor Lee...but hey, he's a great enough actor that I don't mind having that, it looks fine to me. He's good in the non-fight scenes and he's got an awesome sound, even back when he played Scaramanga. He's just a cool villain.

point taken Benobi. i did intend for it to be lightsaber duels, but i left that out of the title. so by default, that conflict does count, since it is indeed another duel, and a kicka$$ one at that. 🙂
The fights between Luke and Vader were definitely the best. My list only counts the Jedi battles. Things like Jango vs Fett shouldn't count, we are talking about the end-of-movie saber fights.
1) Empire Strikes Back - Luke vs Vader. I love how Vader hides in the shadows, like a psycho, and just owns Luke - and ends it with the most famous thing from Star Wars ever.
2) Return Of The Jedi - Luke vs Vader. This fight is awesome. The first time I saw it, and saw Luke flip out all over Vader, the hairs on the back of my neck were standing up, it was brilliant.
Those two were the best by a long shot.
3) Episode IV - Obi vs Vader. This fight is a bit poor in terms of choreography, especially in the post-Matrix world of today, where everybody expects flashy cartwheels and fast motions, but to me this seemed like a proper Jedi fight. Two swordsmen, fighting in a fencing style, and with a personal touch. Classic.
4) Episode 1 - Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon vs Darth Maul. The fight was fast, awesome, and had a much more personal feel, due to what happened to Qui-Gon. I like the fights that get personal. However, this is all well and good, but the fact that I'm not a huge fan of the prequel's approach to the Jedi (i.e. they seem to be super-heroes, igniting the sabers every five seconds), this one gets a nudge down.
5) AOTC - Ani/Obi/Yoda vs Dooku - This fight sucks. Dooku doesn't make the fight as personal, Obi-Wan is plain dissapointing, the Anakin and Dooku "lightshow" is a joke, and I thought Yoda's bit was really stupid and inane, and seemed only to please the slobberring star wars fanboys. It's all style, no substance. Sorry.
Take my opinions with a pinch of salt, I know how tetchy these boards can be.
