Luke vs Vader in episode V.
>>64171106
The cinematography in that duel coupled with the music and significance of what's occurring makes it one of my favorite fights in any movie ever.
That one where the guy got his hand cut off. That was sweet.

It was just 2 guys clashing lightsabers like broomsticks but it was still so better than those high choreography borefests from the I and III

Vader v. Luke from Return of the Jedi. The music at the end of that fight is also god-tier
I love the father/son, trainee/mentor duels
1. Vader/Luke Ep VI
2. Anakin/Obi Wan Ep III
the themes of these scenes are absolutely god-tier as well, top drama
Luke vs Vader in Star Wars

And Vader vs Luke fights in the OT were boring as shit, try me
Luke vs. Vader in Empire is the best duel

>wahhh how dare you not think OT fights were better than da babby prequels
The choreography was so lazy and Lucas was just figuring out how Jedi fight so it wasn't until Episode 6 where Lucas starts figuring out the potential of the light saber fight.
Episode 3 was the apex of Lucas' implementation of light saber fighting due to the advanced choreography he had

Anyone who says otherwise is a nostalgia babby manchild who can't accept that all the fights in the OT could have been fought by fucking old people, no spinning around or jumping or crazy acrobatic shit, literally just Vader and Luke clashing swords the same way for 3 whole movies
>>64171303
t.George Lucas
>>64171732
>no spinning around or jumping or crazy acrobatic shit
yeah and this is why they are not garbage like the PT duels
>>64170956
The best STORY wise as far as making me feel something the most would be the ROTJ duel which is much more emotionally powerful than even the duel in ESB, but in terms of choreography I'd probably go with the final battle of ROTS in general or maybe TPM's.
I do think that Dooku and Obi-Wan/Anakin's fight in AOTC is a little underrated though. I liked how when the lights go out, for a few moments, it just kind of suggests the strikes that are happening in the dark rather than shows all of them as it closes up on the light moving in front of their faces. I thought that was a pretty creative little touch.
>>64171434

None. Light sabers a stupid. Why dont use jedis ranged weapons? When they predict the future anyway, it shouldnt be to hard to hit weaker force users.

Anyways I'd say either Luke vs. Vader from Empire or Kylo vs. Finn and Rey from TFA.

So clashing swords exactly the same way, but still keeping the drama bullshit that is categorical of a space opera such as Star Wars is totally acceptable except when it's done in the prequels with a more diversified fight style it's garbage?
Sounds like we got a OT nostalgiababby, how were the 80's?

you cant call IV really a fight and the prequel trilogy duels are more like a choreographed dance than everything else.
>>64170956
The duel in empire, where Vader just toys with Luke until Luke makes him grumpy and then Vader wrecks his shit
>>64171905
That was pree cool actually, if you knew anything about swordfighting it's that fancy shit like that actually makes it harder to figure out where the opponent is going to hit which is why the prequels had better lightsaber fights than the OT
>>64171973

this is exactly what they do in the PT
>>64171973

If that's what you want to call emotionless dance choreography that looks that it was made for a circus show. I prefer fights were the combatants look like they're actually trying to kill each other

>>64172079
Killing is not the Jedi way.
>>64171973
>clashing swords exactly the same way
Watch any of the fights from ESB, ROTJ or TFA and see why you're wrong. In these fights they're actually attempting to strike each other down instead of just dancing with one another. They get sweaty, bloody and emotional in their fighting
>>64172059
You mean where Luke and Vader can't really fight for shit due to Lucas not knowing how to implement lightsaber dueling to it's potential, but Luke obviously jobs for Vader because he's the chosen one?
Every lightsaber fight in the OT is something you could fall asleep to, I can almost guarantee that if Lucas could do the OT again he'd put more effort into the lightsaber duels
>>64172110
Then why did Yoda tell Luke to kill Vader? And why did Yoda start the Clone Wars? Is Yoda just an asshole?
So, y'know the way the Oringals and now TFA depicts lightsaber fights as relatively normal sword fights? No jumping around or flipping or spinning? Whereas the Prequels had all of that ridiculous shit?
George ain't the sorta guy to put thought into this, but what do y'all think of this for a theory:
In the prequels, when the Jedi were at their height, they had a lot of spare time on their hands and they had an extended period to train. So they were taught to use the Force to their advantage in new ways during fights, ie all the ballerina shit. Whereas in the Originals and TFA, we have Obi-Wan who'd be much to old to pull off that sort of gymnastics, Luke who's untrained (and currently too old), Vader who suffers from a combination of being too old and rusty skills seeing as he hasn't faced an actual Jedi opponent in decades, Kylo who's inexperienced, and Rey who's brand new.
Which brings me to the conclusion that as the trilogy progress and Kylo and Rey get more experienced, we're gonna see a return of the stupid bullshit from the Prequels.

I was actually really impressed with TFA's fight. It was much more akin to the OT's fights, there's no flipping or spinning, just emotional lightsaber combat with a lot at stake.
>>64172074
Nope, each person has their own style of fighting with light sabers. This isn't even evident in the OT at all due to Vader and Luke being the only people who use a lightsaber for than a minute which results in a fight with the monotony of a boxing match.
Prequel duels were more varying a la MMA

1. It's a light sword, wave it around enough in front of somebody, they'll get dizzy or disoriented
2. Those same flurries are also used to make it easier to deflect multiple blaster shots. It's like a little moving shield around you.
3. It could also keep your opponent guessing just your next strike is while covering all points of attack. Keep in mind a lightsaber isn't a normal sword. A person could make any kind of strike up, down, across, diagonal, jagged or whatever and cut you into pieces fairly easily. You would want to make sure either to keep your opponent's lightsaber busy as much as you can or make your every point which he might cut is covered by some kind of defense.

I thought that was a good shot, like thousands of years of history between the Jedi and Sith has led to this final battle within the literal heart of the Republic.
While the prequel lightsaber duels didn't always have as intense of a personal element to them like the OT, I liked how some of them could feel symbolic and meaningful in that spiritual sense.
>>64170956
I liked the Darth Maul fight right after Jin died.
Obi Wan vs Darth Maul was the better fight.
I just want a really good light saber show down. I want them to go all out instead of what it looks like in certain scenes of the actors holding back afraid of hurting their fellow actors.
I just want a Jedi vs Sith fight with no holding back.
>>64173485
There was barely any lightsaber fighting (at least 1v1) in the entire OT, if you want to say muh emotion and muh drama made them better then I can give you some leeway on that; however to say the technical aspects of the actual fighting going on were better than the prequels is just plain wrong

>I want them to go all out instead of what it looks like in certain scenes of the actors holding back afraid of hurting their fellow actors.
The thing is though, I thought made sense in context. Like when Qui-Gon is sitting meditating until the doors open and Maul paces around like an animal (like how Anakin starts doing in ROTS), I never thought Qui Gon at any point was really trying to kill Maul, at least not intentionally, because to do so would technically be against the Jedi way.
But when you get to Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan get stuck in a small space with Maul and sees his master murdered, so the fight gets just a little more intense and you can tell Obi-Wan is not just trying to maybe cut a limb or wear him down.
But I also think that if you can scrutinize any fight, you'll notice the obvious that these are actors not real combatants. You can sort of tell in ROTJ that Mark Hamill is not trying to hurt Prowse and in some cases is just hitting in a single spot while the camera cuts away just in time.

>>64173785
What they should do is hire actors that know how to fight or at least train their actors to fight intead of acting in a fight.
Look at Ray Park as Darth Maul. He can somewhat act but he has fighting movements and some savagery in his fights. The guy is a martial artist. So naturally his fights and movements are going to be somewhat more authentic compared to other actors just that were not trained right and instead just focused on barely doing any movements. We get stupid CGI fights like Dooku vs Yoda, Yoda vs Palpatine, and Kenobi vs Grievous.
They should of just kept Ray Park around as Darth Maul through the entire prequels because his fights were more authentic compared to all the other fights in the prequels.

People who like the prequel fights are analogous to people who like garish vulgar interior decor, its flashy and has zero substance and anyone with any taste is going to prefer something from the original trilogy, which has some actual narrative and emotional relevance to a people above the ages of 5.

Switch Anakin vs Obi Wan - ROTS with Sheev vs Yoda and you're sold.
Anakin vs Obi Wan wasn't that interesting and dragged to long.

You can apply this to ANH, Empire and ROTJ as well since they're all choreographed (with the help of the late, great Bob Anderson). The duels aren't real *gasp*. It's two or three actors in sword play. It's supposed to look good on screen, which they ultimately do.
Whoever took the time to watch that in slow motion AND edit each and every key frame is an autistic fuck. No doubt about it.
The Phantom Menace is a great duel, up there with Empire and Jedi. It was perfectly paced and cool to see.

Sheev vs the Jedi council was cool.
The first time watching the film, you aren't really sure if he is actually the bad guy or not. Then when they confront him and he just flies over the fucking table and starts hacking dudes down, you almost shat yourself in disbelief.

Yeah, even though I always knew the guy was future emperor, a part of kind of hoped the kinder Palpatine and Sidious were separate people.
I liked how in three, Ian altered his voice at many points to show just how much he was slipping at that moment between personas
>>64171598
Solid ranking
Finn fight vs Kylo was really good, something very barbaric and primal about it
Rey's fight with Kylo is shit, she seemed very ackward with the sword
other than that

>>64174737
>great stuff, especially how force usage was interspersed with the combat
Yeah, I actually liked the brief force combat better than the lightsaber duel. I like the one between Yoda and Sheev better because I think they got a better feel by then of how they wanted Yoda to fight and also, in some of those scenes, Sheev was CG, which made the fight feel a little more natural than having poor Chrisopher Lee or his stunt double flailing around and then asking ILM to put Yoda in there somehow
>>64174826
>Rey's fight with Kylo is shit, she seemed very ackward with the sword
she had no skills until muh force saved her ass.why did the writers decided to maker her a jedi? shes was better with a gun .
>>64173688
In terms of pure choreography and practical performance that little 10 second obi wan vs maul clash after qui gon gets impaled is the best in the entire series.
Shame the fight had to end on such a bullshit note, and that the fight is in a shitty film.
Best
>>64170956
Sheev vs. Windu is the most memeworthy
Anybody got a webm of Finn vs Kylo?
>>64171121
GOD TIER
Luke vs Vader - ROTJ (ultimate struggle, everything lead to this. It's connected to the throne room scene and it gives this duel a lot of depth. Then there's this whole segment when Luke got pissed)
Luke vs Vader - ESB (emotions, history, Vader toying with Luke, testing his strenght at first, then learning more about his abilities ['impressive. most impressive!'] and eventually showing who's the master for now [Luke looked devastated already when Vader started throwing shit with Force at him] and then there's a reveal.)
TOP TIER
Kylo vs Rey and Finn - TFA (not as much history attached to it, since it was just a first chapter of new trilogy, but there were some raw emotions, effects were top tier, sabers never looked as good, enviroment helped a lot. it was probably the most strenght-based fight in whole saga so far)
Obi Wan and Qui-Gon vs Darth Maul -TPM (overchoreographed but still much less "greenscreenish" than any other PT fight and music was perfect - one of the best themes from PT if not the best)
Old Obi Wan vs Vader - ANH (mediocre choreography but had some meaning at least what you cannot say about any of the fights from lower tiers besides Anakin vs Obi Wan)
MID TIER
Anakin vs Obi Wan - ROTS (would be higher if it was 5 minutes shorter. some good moments - like that shot next to exploding lava - and some shitty as fuck like when they were flipping those swords like a retards without hitting each other, when they tried to pretend they are fighting hand-to-hand or whole "high ground" stuff)
Anakin and Obi Wan vs Dooku - ROTS (just for this shameless rip off from ROTJ. Did someone said TFA is rehash?)
SHIT TIER
Anakin, Obi Wan and Yoda vs Dooku - AOTC (just because as a kid I thought it was neat)
Sheev vs Yoda - ROTS (just for music and Sheev laugh)
UTTER SHIT TIER
Mace and co Vs Sheev - ROTS (it's good for memes though)
Obi Wan vs Grievous - ROTS (literally 10 seconds of waving broomstick on greenscreen)
>>64174950
The two are apprentices.

Luke v Vader part deux
This was better than any fight in the movies from a purely technical point of view.https://youtu.be/-7hBZNsPnyg
>>64171973
>clashing swords in the exact same way
Nah you fucking idiot
In ANH we see two seasoned duellists in a slow but tense fencing match, each strike carefully planned
In ESB we watch Vader toy with a horribly inexperienced Luke, who could only desperately swing away against an almost playful assault. The apex of this fight is when Vader starts throwing random objects with the Force, again in a way that clearly displays his greater power
Finally ROTJ shows another duel between equals, only rather than the restrained, careful fight from ANH it's a fight full of emotion and desperation, as Luke and Vader attempt to play mind games with each other as they brutally rip into one another with aggressive techniques
They're just as varied as the prequels, but also have real meaning and choreography
>>64170956
Empire duel by far. Followed by Jedi. Call me a pleb, but I fucking loved the duel in TFA
>>64172227

But there was spinning. Really retarded looking spinning

Only the nostalgia fags would ever like the fighting in the old movies. They were fucking awkward and clumsy.
Both were shit though but the prequels were a little better than the old movies.
>>64172810
I actually laughed at this holy fuck
thing is, makes sense for yoda to have a twirly acrobatic style, given that he's a tiny fucker and have to fight opponents 5-10 times his size. so I think yoda fights get a pass. yoda vs. sheev is great
but PT anakin vs obi wan is trash indeed
>>64175345
>HE JUST WON'T STOP MEMEING!

Thanks senpai

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm4JEZudf0c
I like Sheev v Yoda but only for two reasons: the music while the Chancellors podium activates and the podium rises to the Senate Rotunda, and when Sheev uses his telekensis to throw Senator platforms at Yoda
Obi-wan v Vader in ANH is meme tier to be honest, it wasn't that great outside of people viewing it with rose tinted glasses.
Vader v Luke in ROTJ is one of the best,
>>64175515
memers will claim that "muh cgi flips" are better
>>64175553
But thats literally what I just linked
>>64175103
Poe was great,he start as character from the resistance like Leia with Hans flight skills and cockiness by the end of the movie.Finn was a good for nothing like Luke who maned up and started doing the right things by the end of the movie.Rey was too good.she started as a good character who just wanted to go on adventures.she was good with tech things and properly learned how to use a gun so you're were thinking ''thats the new hans solo'',heck she even met the guy who was impressed by her skills. then she start doing jedi mind tricks and telekinesis which threw her character in the garbage.why?

I like how Kylo is just toying with him. When he slams him to the ground, he could have easily finished it, but he turned around and let him get up. Its not until he takes a blow to the arm that he decides enough is enough and wrecks him

>people ITT actually like and defend the original fights
This is a joke right? They are laughably bad and cringe-worthy.
Prequel fights are so over the top dumb, unreasonable, and silly while the OT ones were so slow, boring, and only interesting in a narrative sense.
TFA found a good happy median, so I vote for TFA.
>>64175510
Wow, this was written like a facebook fag.
Yoda should have never had a lightsaber, and Dooku is just flailing around. Shit fight and shit taste.
>>64174505
This. The TPM duel serves its purpose within the context it exists.
Contrary to naysayers' opinions, it's easy of course to ignore the clear indications the actors aren't trying to hit each other if you don't smash your face up against the screen and keep rewinding and playing the scene is slow motion.
And for all this constant talk of "muh emotion", I never felt the PT fights were lacking in emotion or meaning. I felt that the feeling they were trying to create and the meaning they carried was different, but that's all.
>>64175911
Whatever fag. I love when he whips that little laser sword of his out and goes to town

lol look at this shit opinion guys

oh shit my nigga finn got crossed
>0:36
he did it again,dayum.
>>64175515
rey and kylo's fight
I thought this was worst than the one with finn because of the way rey was holding and striking with her lightsaber like sheev and an old woman
>>64175951
is this a /shit opinion/ general ?
>>64176043
this fight looks like fucking dogshit. Like fans playing with lightsabers outside the theater.
Sheev vs 4 Jedi

the jedi should have been finn.this fight is bullshit
>>64176117

>its a sheev is creepy scene
>>64175049
Most correct I've seen so far. And it's explained
>>64176120
finn's fights were much more fun
you could tell he was an amateur but with training he could be good
>>64170956
Yoda vs doku and anakin vs obi.
I expected yoda vs sheev to be the best one but it was seriously short, weak and anticlimatic as fuck.
>>64171121
This is actually good and accurate.
>>64175647
Perfectly said.
>>64172326
Good, good let the butthurt flow through you
>>64176295
see? this is finn getting his ass kicked like the true MC he is.Again, do you have finn vs Kylo fight with sound? man a stormtrooper turning into a jedi that shit would have been fucking cash.
>>64171121
Today anons opinions were actually worth a shit
>>64171121
Anakin vs Obi Wan should be God Tier.
hands down one of the best fights ever made.
