I agree. Everytime a saber comes to life in the prequels it fucking awesome! Also shows the power of the jedi! Nick Gillard is the man! Wish I could spend a couple of days and train with him! Instead I will just practice with my 3 year old!

I didn't say I don't like the prequel duels.. I said they were flashy to look at, meaning the movies themselves. lol... That is, the duels and the choreography in the prequels was amazing, there's no denying that. But the intense emotion of Luke vs Vader in RotJ hasn't been matched yet... at least for me. While the fights were slower, the movies, quality wise, in the original trilogy were far superior.

That being said, my favorite duel to just sit and watch is probably Obi vs Maul after Maul killed Qui-Gon... short, but epic.

Yeah in terms of overall quality I much prefer the originals. The prequels had some good points to them like the dueling and some of the story aspects (not much though), but for the most part they're just not as good. As awesome as the fight between Obi-Wan and Anakin is... There are some things I just think are very ridiculous. They're fighting on platforms that need forcefields in order to keep functioning, because the lava and the heat damage them. As soon as those shields come off, the platforms start falling apart. And yet Anakin and Obi-Wan barely get singed? I guess the force explains that? Idk.

I agree that the final duel between Luke and Vader is very intense, emotionally.

That's just silly :P

But regardless of the silly bits, I love all the saber duels. And I look forward to seeing Kylo Ren's saber in a duel!

I just spent a week learning to do these exact moves.
I am not pleased.

Even if it looks silly, it still takes a lot of skill. Flourishing is hard! They make it look effortless, I don't think I could even pull it off at all. And besides, that's just like, my opinion, man.

I actually loved that part of the duel, though I realise I'm almost alone on that! Obi Wan vs Anakin/Vader was my favourite moment in the entire saga!

I think most of the prequel fights were more entertaining to watch. And there were more of them! The Kenobi Vader fight from A New Hope was pretty weak. But some of them were a bit too flashy. As already mentioned that one moment between Obi-wan and Anakin is absolutely ridiculous. Yes it's cool to be able to spin it around like that, but in a fight nobody would waste energy and time doing that and leaving yourself open. Everything else is quite enjoyable but I cringe every time I see that bit. Also The Clone Wars had some great duels, Obi-wan and Ventress against Maul and Opress! That is one for the ages.

Oh man, I forgot about Clone Wars. They had some great duels in that show! Palpatine vs Maul and Savage was one of my favorites.

Agreed, that was my favorite duel as well! My two other favorites are Savage + Maul vs Ventress and Kenobi, and Maul vs. Visla. Maul makes for a good fight scene apparently.
