Hey guys, the Star Wars Universe section's been pretty dead recently, so I'll try to save it. I assume you've all watched the star wars movies a couple million times, and some of the best parts are the lightsaber fights. So which one is your favorite? It can be from the movies or the expanded universe (I'm looking at you Grievous ).

By far the best lightsaber duel of all time is the Anakin/Obi-Wan Mustafar scene. It is so perfectly choreographed and just a beautiful sight to behold. EU writing is actually pretty boring where swordfights go. It's actually pretty boring. The best one I can think of off the top of my head is Lumiya vs. Luke in one of the Legacy of the Force books. EU comics has GOT to go to Darth Vader vs. Revived Darth Maul in the alternate universe comics. The ending alone earns it that spot. If you can't tell what's going on, Vader is pulling a Hara Kari in order to whack Maul who was being overconfident (again) and standing behind him, taunting him. The last line is something along the lines of: Maul: What do you hate enough that will give you the power to defeat me? Vader: Myself *stab* Great scene. The best of EU, though, has to be pretty much anything from the cartoons. Seeing as how the characters can do anything and their skills can be completely over exaggerated, it allows for some great fight scenes. Anything with General Grievous is awesome as well as anything with Mace Windu. Durge vs. Obi-Wan is also excellent. I'll pop back in with more fights later if I think of any .

Vader's self impaling was a nice touch, and interesting way to end that one.
How about Jacen Solo vs Luke in that fight in Inferno?

I'll probably always be partial to the three way duel on Naboo betwixt Maul/Kenobi/Jinn. Particularly the beginning...you have like 20 armed men running out of the hangar, and one hooded man appears...stopping them all in their tracks. You know it's time to get down to business!

Yeah, Maul vs. Obi/Qui-Gon is a good one.
Another one I liked was the entirety of the Episode II duel with Dooku. It introduced two new styles of fighting into the on-screen Star Wars universe (Dual wield + whirlwind Yoda) plus I will never forget being at a midnight screening and having the whole place erupt when Yoda's shadow came around the corner during the pivotal scene. Great duel.

Yoda V. Dooku or Yoda V. Palpatine. Those are definately my faves.

Let's not forget Luke v Vader in Empire, not footloose and fancy, but Epic.

Hmm...either the ROTJ Luke Vs Darth Vader in the death star, the quick battle with Ki-Adi-Mundi Vs Grievous (clone wars episode 21), or the Mustafar battle...great battles.
