Rank the lightsaber battles

1. Luke vs Vader 1 (empire) - Although Luke wasn't a great duelist yet, he thought that he was fighting the man who killed his father and old Ben, and his rage showed. Vader toys with him through most of the battle but IMO the emotion and significance of the end of the battle makes this #1.
2. Luke vs Vader 2 (return) - this is a real close second for me. Luke goes apeshit after vader tells him that leia might turn and nearly turns himself but resists and tells the emperor that he's failed. *chills*
3. Vader vs kenobi 1(revenge) - I think you need to watch the clone wars to have this battle ranked as high because the series goes way more in depth than the movies at showing the relationship between Anakin and obi wan and how close they actually were. I think this battle is the most aesthetically pleasing one in all the 6 movies.
4. Vader vs kenobi 2 (new hope) - kids will argue that this is the worst battle in all the movies but alas, the message that kenobi sends to vader and Luke with this fight sends shock waves through the rest of the original trilogy.
5. Jinn and kenobi vs maul (phantom) - another really awesome looking lightsaber fight in what was an otherwise forgettable movie. Would have been better in my opinion if Maul would have not been killed.
Worst fight: any one in which Yoda yields a lightsaber - ONE of the flaws of the prequel trilogy is that Yoda fights with a lightsaber. He shouldn't need to.
Let me know what y'all think...

General Grevious vs Obi Wan was bad arse

Yoda vs. Dooku and you'll just have to get over it. That was the only good part of Attack.

The musical score created for this scene by Williams is just so amazing. I think it revs up the intensity and I'd place this one first.

That's why this is tied with Luke/Vader Empire fight at 1. Just so much at stake.

Vader/OB1 2 gets my next vote. When did Lucas lose the ability to write dialog like that?

Down vote.

How is Yoda supposed to defend himself? Jedi don't use force lightning and he has to block Dooku's strikes.

While the new movies sucked the Darth maul fight scene was easily the best one.

I second this

The Darth Maul fight scene was good but it looked way too choreographed.

The one thing the prequels did better than the originals were the lightsaber duels. I think Vader vs Kenobi and Qui Gon Jinn/Obi Wan vs. Darth Maul are far and away the best two.

They're fricking Jedi.... They know what's coming before the enemy does.
The Luke and Vader fights look like amateurs fighting. Not like super beings that have mind control

It's not just about how the fights look, it's about what is going on in them. You can actually feel the hatred Luke has for Vader in that first fight. You can feel the hatred he has for Vader at the end of the second. You get no such emotion in any of the other lightsaber duels, most especially with the prequels.
Nothing but mindless action, with the exception of the Anakin-Obi Wan duel. But even that duel became bloated by mindless CGI.

They didn't have hate because there was no fear.

The Kenobi/Jin vs Darth Maul fight scene is still the best...easily.
And you do get emotion in that one. Kenobi loses his mentor before his eyes, and he is powerless to intervene at first.

The only reason I own the dvd and my personal favorite of the lightsaber battles
and you also get one of the few times Obi-Wan shows true rage and anger and fights that way once Jinn is killed
