Tempest
Kenobi vs. the Nightbrothers?
Eminence
The bungling ofeven remotelyhierarchical precedents in like half of the other fights might be cause for disqualification in this fan's book.
Kenobi vs. the Nightbrothers is one egregious example that was given an explanation I might some day accept. But Palpatine vs. the strike team, at the very least in hindsight, is probably the outright worst offender. It shouldn't matter because it's not even a "good fight" in the sense that the others we're discussing are (exciting! among other things), but it might be the worst fight in the whole saga by almost every measure. Palpatine vs. the Nightbrothers was not only a terrific set piece in its own right but benefited from being a stark contrast to the strike team fiasco, establishing the same thing hierarchically in an infinitely more pleasing way.
Count Dooku vs. the Nightsisters was another spectacular sequence, though, and similarly satisfying.

All those sound terrible, Leg. Needs more Palpatine.
As far as Palpatine is concerned, I take a great interest in his battles but I find his DE era battles anti-climatic. I do have high opinion of Palpatine's confrontation with duo of Darth Maul and Savage Opress though, great addition to the lore. However, I am disappointed by the fact that this particular battle was shortened during finalization.
Palpatine vs. Darth Plagueis would have been an awesome battle but its plot was weakly established unfortunately.
