Favorite Lightsaber Duels

An interesting conversation I had with some guys that I thought would be interesting to post here. What are your favorite lightsaber duels in the mythos and why?

For some extra challenge, what are your favorite lightsaber duels in novels and video games?

Ahsoka Tano vs. Darth Vader (Rebels)

Ven Zallow vs. Darth Malgus

Ulic Qel-Droma vs. Exar Kun

Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader (Return of the Jedi)

Darth Sidious vs. Savage Opress/Darth Maul

Ventress vs Anakin tbh.

[list] [*]Ahsoka Tano vs. Darth Vader -- As much as I wanted it to be longer and have more intricate choreography, they nailed Vader and Ahsoka's fighting style and it was extremely emotional
[*]Anakin & Obi-Wan vs. Dooku (RotS) -- I don't know why, I just like this fight *shrug* (in both the novel and the movie)
[*]Anakin vs. Dooku -- Basically, almost every fight Anakin has with Dooku in TCW (Tatooine, Naboo) I like a lot, because they choreograph Anakin and Dooku's style perfectly, and IMO emphasize Anakin still isn't quite Dooku's level yet, and that Dooku has a decisive Force edge
[*]Any Asajj Ventress fight -- I love Ventress and I love how she fights, she always makes it fun and engaging to watch
[*]Malgus vs. Aryn Leneer (Jedi Temple) -- I love how brutal it is and how intense and unforgiving Aryn and Malgus fight
[*]Sidious vs. Maul & Savage -- Sidious's domination is immensely entertaining, and when Sidious has fun, I have fun 🙂
[*]Ahsoka vs. the Inquisitors -- Ahsoka kicking ass, what more do I need? 🙂
[*]Maul vs. Jinn & Kenobi -- Emotional (at least for TPM standards *shrug*) and 10/10 choreography
[*]Luke vs. Vader (TESB) -- I actually really liked the choreography for this and I loved how you could visually see how worn down Luke was getting over time. Really just awesome fight [/list]

So basically every Star Wars duel ever.

Sidious vs Maul/Savage in The Lawless.
Anakin and Obi-Wan vs Dooku in The Lost One and Revenge of the Sith.
Yoda vs Sidious in Sacrifice and Revenge of the Sith.
Ahsoka vs Vader in Rebels.
Luke vs Vader in Return of the Jedi

I also found Maul vs Vizsla to be very entertaining.

Agreed. Vos vs Dooku was abysmal.

Then why'd you lowball her for Ahsoka? You could have picked Savage.

Revan and Meetra vs Nihilus (KOTOR: Broken Souls)

Kinda slower-paced and the acting was a bit over-the-top.

Revan's voice was weird, but it was good.

Some of the LotF and FotJ duels were cool and brutal.

Luke vs. Vader both times

Anakin and Obi Wan vs. Dooku (both movies)

Yoda vs. Sidious

I don't think I lowball Ventress.

Lmao Beni is adorable.

Anyways my favorites

Movies.

- Qui-Gon Jinn/Obi VS Maul. The fight is emotional and saddening after you've gone through the novels and books that feature them, and the addition of "Duel of Fates" makes it incredibly intense.

Dooku VS Anakin and Obi Wan: Attack of the Clones.

I enjoy Dooku's first appearance here, he's not shown to be outlandishly evil, and he makes a hell of an impact. He curbstomps Kenobi and Anakin in a pretty impressive duel, then duels Yoda! Lucas did a great job establishing Dooku's presence, and he has one of the best introductions in the mythos imo.

Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi VS Dooku: Revenge of the Sith.
When the sun rises, so must it set. Dooku's death at the hands of Anakin was a great way to make Anakin's path become set in stone, making it one of the best "points of no return" literature, the Choreography was much more fluid in this episode, And It was clear to see Anakin's improvement since they last met. It was a great duel.

Vader VS Luke: Return of the Jedi.

Vader vs Luke did everything right nice choreography, emotional. Perfect, need I say more?

TV series.

Yoda and Anakin VS Sidious: The Clone Wars.

While it is a vision, and not at all real, I do heavily enjoy Sheev's fight here, he has no problem toying with his greatest adversary, and casually ragdolling Anakin is one of my favorite moments, that aside; what I mosy enjoy about this is the helplessness of it all, Yoda is trying to fight the future, but it's already in motion and he can do absolutely nothing about it. It's a really nice duel.

Vader VS Kanan and Ezra; Star Wars Rebels

The hype for Vader was awesome, Ezra felt cold on Lothal, Kanan sensed a powerful Darkness, Ahsoka seeing Vader. When Vader came out an absolute, positively demolished Kanan and Ezra it felt satisfying, it felt like all fights with Vader should be, helpless, an inescapable monster that will kill you, and got that. Vader is the strongest of all of Sheev's apprentice's and he was treated like it here.

Ahsoka VS Vader: Star Wars Rebels.

Everything joker said.

Kanan VS Maul.

I got nothing, I just want Kanan to get feats.

Video games:

Kyle Katarn vs Jaden: Jedi Knight, Jedi Academy.

Something I always felt the Jedi Academy game always lacked was an emotional edge, a reason to go after Tavion(and no, Idgaf about Rosh)But, the Dark Side ending does deliver on that. By having Kyle begging you to come back, even after leaving a trail of dead behind you, it's emotional, and it's obvious(through Jeff Bennet's glorious voice acting) that Kyle's struggling with his emotions. What's more, I like additions of certain things like, Kyle physically overpowering you, disarming you with the force. This isn't "Anakin, I loved you" this was "I will mess you the **** up!"

Gtg now.

Sidious/Maul/Savage
🙂

Sigh.

I liked Sidious vs Maul/Savage too.
