True dat PR, I was like 9 or 10, I forgot, but seeing Qui-Gon go down always made me sad. Especially when maul knocks his saber into Qui-Gon's chin, you can see in his eyes he knows he's gonna go down, and Obi's noo was perfect, not like that shit vader's noooo.

I liked the Obi/Anakin duel the best.
I mean, it could have been better, but I thought it was pretty damn good. The part where Anakin is just lying there burning, screaming "I hate you" showcased the better part of Hayden's acting. It was very emotional at this point. The duel itself was very flashy and nobody seemed to really have the upper hand until the end, which I liked, because they were both supposed to be somewhat equal in terms of fighting ability/style. Overall, I just thought the environment was cool as well. It was as if they were fighting in hell.

Agreed.
I couldn't believe how fast they were moving in that fight.
It has a great emotional impact, especially if you watch all the films back-to-back, as much as ROTS builds up to that battle, the whole PT does even more so.
I have Duel of the Fates as second on my list, but just by a midget's dick.
It is better paced, has better choreography, and was absolutely stunning.
I only put Battle of the Heroes above it becuase it means more in the overall scheme of things.
I may get shot for this one, but I would say that Mace v.s. Sidious (after the dopey execution of the 3 Jedi "masters".) is my 3rd fave.
I like the way that Ian and Sam played that scene, and it had that inevitable feeling to it, but I was surprised to see Mace "win" at all.
I thought that they would just be in a tie, and Anakin would be the tie-breaker.
Mace went out like a G, and it was interesting to see purple v.s. red.
Looking at each duel in turn;
Kenobi+Jinn vs. Maul - well choreographed and very sweet to watch with good emotion [no talking] and double-bladed saber only problem was the sh**ty scene in between with all gungans etc- 7.5/10
Also counts for brief Jinn vs. Maul which was great
Tyranus vs. Kenobi+Ani - Fluid and skillful choreography but nowhere near as good as TPM duels and way to short and lacked the effect OT did - Tyranus didn't feel like a real bad guy - but still nice to watch - 4.5/10
Tyranus vs. Yoda - A surprise - tahst what made it a great duel. A little cheesy as it continues but the first 2 seconds of duel seemed to be fastest in whole series and was impressive - 6/10
Tyranus vs. Kenobi+Ani Round 2 - Far better - much more skillful and beautiful to watch and greatly underrated imo. The lines Tyranus utters and the final part of fight left me breathless - still way too short though - short but sweet - 6.5/10
Kenobi vs. Grievous - Hardly counts imo mainly cuz I hated Grievous - the voice was catastrophic! The duel seemed moderately impressive - you just knew Kenobi would pawn him - he wasn't force trained after all. But this duel was not fake - McGregor really did learn to fight 4 blades [2 sets of 2] well. Dreadfully short though - 4/10
Mace vs. Palps - OK so they did a bad job of the jedi killing adn Mace's vaapad but regarding the duel McDiarmid gave it its all and the swordsmanship looked rehearsed and skillful but dreadfully short. It certainly weakens towards the end of the duel where there is flips but the final window scene portrayed the appropriate emotion though Mace wasn't very impressive - but I used to watch it quite a bit - 6.5/10
Vader vs. Kenobi - Excellent - just as good as it gets - amazing skill, emotion and although it weakens and the final poart of duel is pretty weak it is a very good fight - 7.5/10
Yoda vs. Palps - Too short - not as amazing as I hoped though the final few seconds we see are pretty smart. And Palp's giggling were very annoying - 5.5/10
Kenobi vs. Vader Round 2 - classic fight which is more backed up by the atmosphere which is Star wars in its prime rather than the very low skill quality - 5.5/10
Luke vs. Vader - Superb duel which I can't get enough off - great emotion and dialogue - the best bad guy and just great - skill isn't that great but way better than ANH - 7.5/10
Luke vs. Vader Round 2 - Basically as good as previous though I prefer ESB duel - 6.5/10
So I guess its Maul vs. Kenobi+Jinn, Vader vs. Kenobi [ROTS] and ESB Vader vs. Luke!
hmm.. only that i think my order would be ep1 quigon-obi vs. maul. then ani vs. obi. then sidz palps. then vader vs. luke esb . tyranus vs. yoda i was shocked because i wasent expecting this battle.. little yoda fighting.. when i saw himm im like... wowww dudes hes gonna fight.. then he ignited his saber and im like "Awesome" next thing u know he's doing flips accross the room and over dooku
Couldn't the moderators just start a "I hate the PT/OT"-forum/section!!!
Or somebody could just start a thread about it, instead of puking on SW in EVERY PT-thread....
Either you are a SW-fan/lover/liker/don't knower or whatever OR you're NOT, although everybody's entitled to their own oppinions ofcourse, but don't start massively disregarding SW as if you never liked it anyway.
There's many things I LIKE and don't like about the entire SAGA, but it looks like everybody is more and more killing off the entire franchise!!!
The Terminator-forum almost died because of the same kinda bullshit.
No wonder everybody is moving to the "Literature and expanded universe"-forum.
It's really starting to piss me off......(well, I think I just signed my death-sentence).....sorry 😕
Now to be honest...I can't pick any favourite out of the prequels, they just don't seem to much more than eye candy, and that just isn't evough for me...
I mean, when the lights dim in AotC between Anakin and Dooku, it reminds me of Empire Strikes Back! so the only merit I can give goes to that one...
I know I'm no fan of the prequel trilogy, but its the anti climatic duels that push me away alot of the time.
The Obi-Wan vs. Anakin duel was nice to watch, yet I didn't really feal involved with the characters enough.
