Been trying to tell folks this for awhile. Lucas got inspiration from samurai duels for the originals, but the prequel fights resemble no samurai duel I've ever seen.

Han Solo vs the Tauntaun. That was gut check time for Solo as he tried to save his friend. And that fight was over before it even began.

Apparently it didn't wow obj wan. He just let that guy wave those things right in his face and didn't blink...he could have just chopped obi wan up

The Greivous fight was such a let down. He comes out spinning and you think, "ooohhh shite, obi's fricked.", then Greivous squares up and gets two hands chopped off immediately.

Luke Skywalker vs the Wampa in the Hoth cave.

Luke uses the force to acquire his lightsaber, frees himself from dangling upside down and cuts the Wampa's arm off. One of the most memorable scenes in the movie to me.

Same here. If you are bored one day and watch the feature on this on the DVD, the actors beat themselves up pretty bad because of how intense they were with the scene. Lots of accidental hits.

I also liked the Darth Maul fight.

But I can't decide which is my favorite from the original trilogy. The duel in Empire was better than Jedi, but Jedi had so much more riding on it, a lot more emotion.
