Okay so what do you think is the best duel in the saga and also what duel is the worst?
BEST: Luke vs. Vader in ESB (Perfect mood, Luke getting beated and the revelation at the end.)
WORST: Count Dooku duel in AOTC (That duel sucked so much. Even a spoof duel I watched on Jimmy Neutron was funnier.)
Just tell what duels were the ones you liked/hated the most and also write why you like/hate it so much.

Hmm, Its a three way tie between,
ESB luke/vader duel---its just plain classic, luke gos in there and acts all cool, then gets taught a lesson.
TPM obi wan/maul---idk just kool i guess
RotS anakin/obi wan---just the thought that this is a master/apprentice fight and the music made it classic
Worst duel..... I would say ANH obi wan/vader but im gonna bring my self to say, Yoda/Palpatin in RotS.

Yeah. The ROTS duels were stupid. The only good one was Anakin vs. Obi-Wan because at least it took its time to do it well. I'll review the duels in ROTS:
Dooku duel: A duel at the beggining of the movie? That's stupid. What's most stupid is that Dooku beats the crap out of Obi-Wan (who magically survives) but Ani (who's weaker than Obi-Wan) beats the crap out of Dooku.
Grievous duel: Lucas will pay after what he did to Grievous! What's the point of he having 4 arms if they get cut in 30 seconds? And then he dies in a stupid way! GAWD DAMN IT LUCAS!
Palpatine duel: This is the most STUPID of all! Why have 3 more Jedi if they lat like 15 seconds? They could have only Mace. And then Palpatine and those MORONIC faces!
Eye-Candy duel: This duel was total eye-candy. It was totally useless to the plot and that time should have been used to develop the transition of Anakin to the dark side.
Anakin duel: This duell was great. It took its time and had emotion. The only bad thing is too many BRIGHT special effects that hurt your eyes after a while.
Dooku duel: A duel at the beggining of the movie? That's stupid. What's most stupid is that Dooku beats the crap out of Obi-Wan (who magically survives) but Ani (who's weaker than Obi-Wan) beats the crap out of Dooku.
Grievous duel: Lucas will pay after what he did to Grievous! What's the point of he having 4 arms if they get cut in 30 seconds? And then he dies in a stupid way! GAWD DAMN IT LUCAS!
Palpatine duel: This is the most STUPID of all! Why have 3 more Jedi if they lat like 15 seconds? They could have only Mace. And then Palpatine and those MORONIC faces!

Duels - Does anyone notice that the ESB and ROTJ duels are episodic, and actually quite short - because of this they don't drag at the film.
Meanwhile, Dooku in Clones takes all the lessons of how to build a succesful duel and ruins all of them - there are no other scenes to cut to since the clones have already mashed the battle droids into pulp and the termites have finished telling the audience that they are building the Death Star - and so we get weighed down with a duel after which there is a duel and then finally a duel.
ROTS takes the idea of putting a lightsaber duel at the end of a film and then produces the greatest volume of lightsaber duelling ever. And while Dooku's battle in Clones is terrible, that's nothing next to Palpatine's Spinning Geriatric Torpedo Attack and his capering is so bad that Yoda's Super Grover doesn't seem that bad.
To summarise - ESB and ROTJ for best, Dooku in AOTC and Palps in ROTS for worst.
