Best lightsaber fighter in Star Wars
For this thread, let's stick to ONLY the 7 movies of Star Wars. If the fighters weren't allowed to use the force and were restricted to purely sword fighting, how would the rankings go? Fighters are:
Darth Sidius
Darth Vader (as per Episode VI)
Darth Maul
Kylo Ren
Count Dooku
General Grevious
Anakin (Pre-Vader as per Episode III)
Obi Wan
Qui Gon
Yoda
Mace Windu
Rey
Please feel free to include anyone else I missed.

iirc, Mace was touted as the most skilled Jedi with a sabre in the PT. Obi's comment to Anakin that if he had trained and focused more he'd rival Mace's sabre-skills and have Yoda's wisdom, can't recall it verbatim, but it was something to that effect. Was in epII.

There really close TBH but I think Obi Wan with his defensive form and calmer mind and the fact he was able to take on an enraged Anakin however with circumstances backing him, I think he can take maul. Especially since as a Padawan he was able to hold his own without his amyser, he only got better as of ROTS.
What does your list look like?

In the OP he said let's stick with just the seven movies, but even with TCW Obi wan took on maul evenly and had him and his brother down at one time.
