I just wanted to quickly put my opinion on your ranking, I agree with all of it beside the Anakin and dooku fight in revenge of the fight I feel like it should of been in A tear because dooku was the reason why the clone war started and when Anakin killed him it started the end an era, anyway love your content and your a amazing person thank you and have an amazing day

The 2 Luke vs Vader fights for sure. The emotion behind duels make them easily the best. I also appreciate the choreography in those films because every swing had a purpose even if it wasn’t as flashy. The prequel fights are cool but they were too flashy and many swings were meaningless. If we can start getting a mix of the 2 the duels would be perfect. Vader’s choreography in Rogue One and Luke’s in Mando season 2 are great examples of this.

Completely with you. I personally find Anakin v Obi-Wan's fight in RotS to be more style over actual substance, far too long and some of the dialogue is so cringeworthy it pulls you out of what should be an emotional battle. When they start swinging like Tarzan or balancing on those droid's heads it just looks ridiculous. The choreography in the original trilogy is definitely not as flashy but the emotion properly comes through and it feels like every swing matters in both those Luke vs Vader fights.

Hey Theory, just a heads up if you don't already know this - In the Obi-Wan vs Grievous fight, they had Obi-Wan cut off 2 of Grievous hands really quickly in the fight because they were having trouble filming a fight with a 4 handed being. So they had to get rid of 2 of his hands to make it more manageable.

Great video and interesting thoughts. For me personally nothing comes close to Luke v Vader in RotJ. Not as flashy in terms of choreography as the prequel fights but hits so many more emotional notes and coupled together with knowing it's a father fighting his own son. When that music kicks in after Vader taunts Luke and he just goes wild with rage it really is the one of the best moments in the franchise for me and how it sets up the big payoff to follow.

As Luke screams “NEVER!” in reply to Vader saying “If you will not turn, perhaps she will.” The music that follows is potentially the best piece of music in the entire franchise.

In the context of the universe, the Jedi and Sith fight usually duel another 'honourably' (there's even a saber form that Jedi and Sith don’t use because of how cowardly and cheap it is, and it involves turning off one's saber and reactivating it to trick an opponent), and so a lot of the openings are explained using that idea. Regardless of the odd choreography in some parts of the prequel trilogy, for the most part, they look spectacular. When I notice one of those moments, I usually think, 'at least it isn’t as bad as the missing-knife praetorian guard in TLJ', lol.

Nah I'm defending the fin and Ray v kylo fight scene, it's way better than og Vader v Kenobi, and episode 2 Anakin v dukku where you can't see anything, It may not have the choreography of the others but it replaces it with pure energy. The fear you feel as kylo slices at rey and she can only just dodge it. Always being pushed back, looking for an opening but being hunted down, no escape. It's horrific and I absolutely love it. It's also much more emotional that the other fights. IDK what you're talking about when you say maul v qui gon and obi wan is emotional, it's just a guy fights our heros who we've never even met. Here we have this fight just after he's killed han, we want him dead so bad, he's just knocked out fin. And even the force pulled lightsaber being just so cool, it's all not enough. I would have preferred if they ended it there instead of with a ray victory, but that alone for me is enough to put it into at least b tier.

Vader vs Luke in empire for me Those moments of silence and tension building combined with the dark atmosphere and of course the iconic revelation at the end makes it the best for me.

The 2 Luke vs Vader fights for sure. The emotion behind duels makes them easily the best. I also appreciate the choreography in those films because every swing had a purpose even if it wasn’t as flashy. The prequel fights are cool but they were too flashy and many swings were meaningless. If we can start getting a mix of the 2 the duels would be perfect. Vader’s choreography in Rogue One and Luke’s in Mando season 2 are great examples of this. Battle of Heroes is in its own tier to me, as a kid that was the coolest thing ever, and now as I’ve grown up it’s still the coolest thing ever not to mention the music, choreography, emotions, and plot importance, and the stakes, as well as the end of a trilogy and the beginning of the next Battle of Heroes is in its own tier to me, as a kid that was the coolest thing ever and now as I’ve grown up it’s still the coolest thing ever not to mention the music, choreography, emotional and plot importance, and the stakes, as well as the end of a trilogy and the beginning of the next Great video and interesting thoughts. For me personally, nothing comes close to Luke v Vader in RotJ. Not as flashy in terms of choreography as the prequel fights but hits so many more emotional notes and coupled together with knowing it's a father fighting his own son. When that music kicks in after Vader taunts Luke and he just goes wild with rage it really is one of the best moments in the franchise for me and it sets up the big payoff to follow. Nothing beats ESB, everything about that fight and scene is magical. Then you get the reveal of who Vader is, just unbeatable IMO. I'd be curious to have you add in more of the fights from the TV series Young Jedi Adventures to come out in next week's game of the comment on the week's okay top 3.

Essentially, lightsaber duels by the end of the movie or episode usually rank higher than others 😎

Can't forget about the dual between Ahsoka and Mual in the throne room on Madalore How Mual knew what was about to happen to the fate of the galaxy and Ahoska tried to see his perspective.

I had that same piggy bank dude!! I always loved putting more and more into it, I wish I still had it. Bro but the Kanan, Ezra, and Vader fight was crazy good. You see how those two give everything they have and Vader just comes out of the fire. So much fear factor and loss of hope for the heroes that they just run knowing they can’t kill him.

Should've had Ahsoka vs Maul, as well. Ray freaking Park doing the mo-cap for Maul, just... *chef's kiss* And Ahsoka showing just how much she's grown, while also reasonably struggling, she's absolutely the underdog but pulls out a win using all that Anakin taught her. Masterpiece.

You're right about how cool the deleted stuff is. Especially the Dooku eye slash, Palaptine spinning into insta kill and pushing the furniture out of the way, and the entire Yoda vs Palpatine fight is better in the deleted version imo.

Favorite MCU fights ever? It's not from Endgame. It might actually be the fights from The Avengers (2012), The Winter Soldier, and Civil War. Endgame felt way too bloated but I did like Thanos vs. Iron Man, Cap, Thor and then Thanos fighting Scarlet Witch and Captain Marvel. 1. Iron Man vs. Thor, The Avengers "Shakespeare in the park?" This one was so simple but I loved it. 2. Steve vs. Bucky, The Winter Soldier TWS had the best hand-to-hand choreography. 3. Thanos fight in Titan, Infinity War 4. Iron Man vs. Cap & Bucky, Civil War 5. Airport fight, Civil War Felt more like a sparring fight with nobody endangered of dying but had humor like Ant-Man becoming a titan. 6. Final battle in Endgame 7. Entire Battle of NY in The Avengers 8. Elevator fight in The Winter Soldier 9. Battle of Wakanda in Infinity War 10. Black Panther vs. Killmonger near the waterfall and at the end. Underrated fight: Hulk vs. Abomination in Incredible Hulk. Sorry to No Way Home fans for missing out in my top 10. I couldn't even include Hela slaughtering Thor's friends. I personally enjoyed the Batman vs. Superman fight being I'm a bigger Batman fan. Superman sorta getting his revenge in the Justice League. Now let me think about all the great action sequences throughout several movies and TV shows... The Watchers on the Wall Battle of the Bastards The Spoils of War The Long Night Hardhome Black Water War in the Stepstones Final battle in LotR: The Two Towers Final fight in Wheels on Meals and Dragons Forever Hallway fight in Oldboy (2003) The Protector fights especially Tony Jaa against a capoeira fighter ala Eddy Gordo All of Max Max: Fury Road Saving Private Ryan's opening Glory's final scenes All the epic open field fights in Braveheart Quicksilver's "Time in a Bottle" All the fights in Gladiator and Troy

Mustafar is really the genesis of the Star Wars we know. Not only is it aesthetically incredible, but it is the moment Vader is created, as is Obi Wan, in a way, the Obi Wan we come to know. Melancholy, but utterly resolute in his training of Luke and fighting the empire to the last. Same goes for Vader.
