So we're all in agreement this is the best lightsaber fight in all of Star Wars, right?
no it's one of the worst
the best is the Luke vs Vader fight in RotJ

Return of the Jedi
>>67404187
Nothing can hold a candle to this scene. The final outcome of three films worth of build-up. All the emotion in the entire series comes down to these final ten minutes. Say what you will about the rest of the movie, but this is easily one of the best scenes in all of Star Wars.
>>67404187
Yes. It's perfect. It feels like a real swordfight, or at least something from a Kurosawa film.
It truly captures the feeling of a desperate, aged man's last stand.
The second best is the Luke/Vader duel in RotJ, but I always felt it was spoiled by the intercutting with other scenes.

>that music
Makes me hard as fuck anytime someone brings it up.
>>67404375
>spoiled by the intercutting with other scenes
I've always hated this shit with the fights in the movies. I suppose there are pros and cons of doing that or just having a continuous scene.
>>67404375
Oh and I forgot to mention: fuck the prequels and the balletic, vastly over-choreographed cartoon swordfights in them. I actually don't entirely hate the prequels, but the way they handle lightsaber combat is terrible compared to the original films.

Somebody on YouTube made a HD video of the RotJ duel as one long scene, it works far better not being broken up.
>>67404320
The whole emperor showdown and death star battle was pretty great. Too bad about the you know whos.
>>67404187
It was great. Full of tension, it's the first time we ever see two Jedi fight each other, and the sense of power between the two, emphasised by the great sound effects of the swords clashing was pretty fucking intense.
>>67404515
Post it then nigga
>>67404515
I think this is what you're talking about.

Good shit senpai.
RotJ Luke vs Vader > EsB Luke vs Vader > Qui Gon and Obi Wan vs Darth Maul > Obi Wan vs Anakin > Obi Wan vs Vader > Obi Wan vs Grievous > AotC Anakin vs Dooku > RotS Anakin vs Dooku > Mace Windu vs Sheev > Yoda vs Sheev > Yoda vs Dooku

>YFW you realize that Lucas (and Kasdan) originally intended Luke to become Darth Vader after this fight but then changed their minds because it is a "movie for children"
At least they managed to get something right with ROTJ... having Luke turn into Vader would have been calamitous and nullify the entire arc of his character.
>>67404801
Seriously?
>>67404785
Rey v Kylo?

>Yoda vs Sheev that low
>Obi Wan vs Grievous not last
>not even putting Finn/Rey vs Kylo Ren on the list
>deleting your post
kill yourself
>>67404785
You fucking fools. Rey vs Kylo hands down. Not as boring as the original trilogy duels and not as ridiculously over the top as the prequels
>>67404187
It's the most emotional duel of the series if you think about it.

>Even though Lucas really wanted a bright, upbeat ending, and he fought against killing off any major characters — even Yoda, for a long time — during one story session, Lucas pitched a really, really dark ending. In a nutshell, the scene with Vader and the Emperor unspools the way it does in the final film. Vader sacrifices himself to take out the Emperor, and then Luke helps Vader to take off his famous helmet. And then — Luke puts on Vader's helmet himself. In the transcript of the story session with Lucas and Kasdan, Lucas says: "Luke takes his mask off. The mask is the very last thing — and then Luke puts it on and says, 'Now I am Vader.' Surprise! The ultimate twist. 'Now I will go and kill the [Rebel] fleet and I will rule the universe.'" Kasdan immediately responded, "That's what I think should happen" — but Lucas didn't actually want to go that dark because "this is for kids."

Funny how George's retardation actually stopped one his retarded ideas.
>>67405038
George Lucas is hilarious. What a prankster.
>>67405038
> "Now i am Vader."
sure
>>67405038
>Vader walks out
>he's suddenly a foot shorter
who else thought that JJ screwed up the shots from tfa fights?
people are saying the prequels are "over the top", "cartoonish" etc, and I just gotta say this: The prequel Jedi and Sith were obviously a lot more skilled (more jumps n shit) and obviously Lucas wanted to try things he hadn't done in the originals
>>67405462
Meh they were all fine. If anything, that retarded helicopter shit at the end stuck out like a sore thumb.
>>67405496
what retarded heli thing? also, it pains me to see all close ups of faces and snappy cuts while all the neat action and mastered choreography could be more apreciated
>>67405554
I assume he means the ending shot on the island which was obviously taken from a helicopter.
>>67405605
Yes this.
>>67405605
oh yeah that was retarded as shit. along with the snap zooms and snyder like documentary esque shaky cam looking at the action from afar
>>67404187
No, I would say the best fight is the one on Cloud City.
Return of the jedi as spectacle goes.
Empire is the deepest storywise.
Both have great atmosphere
