I'd like the fight more if the choreography was better although the music makes up for it. The main problem I have is that people take the fight out of context too often.

Easily Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs Maul or Obi-Wan vs Darth Vader(RotS). It had everything, and I don't care if it doesn't look like "real sword fighting" completely ignoring that all the combat styles were made by a real swordsman, and that this is a movie. Had the best settings, choreography, and music. Really can't do any better using actual people.
WildBantha88
Hmm no novel/comic book fights?
Kurk
Maul & Opress vs Sidious
Vader vs Luke is very emotional
Sheev vs Yoda had potential but oh well
First minute of Rots Anakin vs Kenobi is awesome
Comic books have some good ones too, but they're comic books...
anything with Dooku in it is yum...that Makashi though
Obi Wan & Anakin vs Dooku
Ep II
Ep III
Clone Wars S6

Yeah, I never buy into the criticism of PT fight choreography. Not saying it's perfect, but people who want "realistic" fighting have probably never seen a real fight.
Shit's not fun to watch at all.

Luke vs Vader (ESB) is by far the best.
Tzeentch
Luke vs Vader in Empire Strikes Back.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs Maul takes second place.
The weakness of the PT fights isn't that they're unrealistic (all the dueling choreography in all the films are unrealistic) so much as its that the characters actually look like they're just flailing their swords around. If anything it's over-choreographed. The most natural-looking fight in the PT is also what I would consider the best looking.
The_Tempest
You emo **** with your Vader/Luke ESB shit.
Also, I don't think Duel of the Fates has a lot of flailing {as opposed to Vader vs. Obi-Wan}.
The correct answer is Sheev vs. the brothers.
Nephthys
Anakin vs Obi-Wan is the best PT fight because it's the only one where they look like they're actually having an emotion instead of just slapping each others swords until it's time for one of them to win.
The_Tempest
Because there's no emotion in Duel of the Fates or in the fights w/ Dooku? mmm

Nope.
I mean, for about 5 seconds after Qui-Gon dies but then the actual fight starts and it's back to flawless choreography.
The_Tempest
yeah, that does sound boring tbh

Starts at 2:37, though the screenshot at 2:40 is also great

Kol skywalker's last stand definitely deserves a place on these lists

Not like those real swordfights, every single fight everywhere needs that emotion. Because emotions like fear, anger, etc, aren't emotions. We need angst and sadness.

Duel of Fates, Battle of the Heroes, and the final duel in the Throne Room.
Lord Stark
Duel of Fates imo. I also enjoy the final battle of the Old Jedi Order vs. the New Sith (Yoda and Kenobi vs. Palpy and Vader).

The final duel in RotS. It was the best of both worlds (PT and OT) - real choreography and impressive swordfighting, like the one you get in TPM, and the emotional atmosphere of Luke vs Vader in RotJ.
The_Tempest
Lots of pathos in the Mustafar duel but goddamn is it overwhelming. It's a lot like the pod race in TPM for me; it just drags on and on and on and on and on.
Other good ones are Vizsla vs Maul, Dooku's AOTC fights, Kit vs Grievous, Jango vs Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka vs Barriss.

Didn't really feel like that to me because of how they were interchanging between that and the Sidious/Yoda fight.
Plus I found the end pretty emotional shrug

QGJ/OBW vs Maul.
Duel of the fates sound track is my fave. It has more urgency than any other imo.
WildBantha88
Okay, bare with me. I thought the first duel between Kanan and Inquisitor was great. It was a great intro to a reoccurring villian that blended stylish swordplay with a feeling of hopelessness. The Inquisitor really did make it feel like they were in over their heads and say what you will about the level of the characters themselves but tge scene was structured and executed nicely
