@Jan Actually, Sidious didn't create a false sense of fear in his heart, rather, his voice, face, and body language gave off the impression of a scared old man and, since Mace Windu was looking for Sidious' Shatterpoint, not Anakin's, he associates the fear he senses with Sidious because of the voice, face, and body language. The fear is actually Anakin's, which is why Sidious says this: "Fool!" His voice was a shout of thunder. "Do you think the fear you feel is mine?"

Yes it should. And had season 7 of the Clone Wars had never happened, the should have adapted the second part of the cartoon Clone Wars to animation to connect it to Revenge of the Sith.

[@Guyjemm]

The way I see it, everything up to and including Anakin showing Padme his scar is canon, then from there you would watch 2008 Clone Wars. Clone Wars showed Anakin becoming a Jedi Knight. It had the first acknowledgment of Anakin's scar. It showed how Anakin got R2-D2. It showed how C3PO went from silver to gold. It showed the introduction of Grievous. It showed the introduction of Asajj Ventress. The show fills in so many holes that 2008 Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith just don't cover that I think the first 21 and a bit episodes just have to be considered canon.

Would you consider yourself to be a good person? How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, no matter how small, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God's name in vain/blasphemed, even ‘OMG’? That’s taking the name of the God who gave you life and using it in the place of a cuss word - would you do that with your mother’s name? Have you ever dishonoured your parents? Jesus said whoever looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery in his heart. Have you ever looked with lust? Most people probably have broken all 5 of these commandments. I myself have. I’m not judging you but if you have done these things then you’re a lying, thieving, blasphemous, rebellious adulterer-at-heart by your own admission. That's only 5 of the 10 commandments. God is fully just so he must and will punish every and all sin (which is departure from/rebellion towards God and the conscience) when he judges us. He cannot simply cancel our debt and let us go, or else he would be unjust. If you went into the courtroom and said: ‘Yes Judge, I’ve done these things but I also give money to the Red Cross and volunteer at an old-age home. I try my best to love people’ the judge is not going to take that into consideration. You’ve broken the law; the good you’ve done won’t help at all on the day of judgement. If he judges you by the moral law will you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is Hell. Doesn’t that concern you? But, fortunately, that is not God’s will. He is so loving and merciful, he made a way for you to be forgiven. The Son of God came down as a man, Jesus Christ, and lived a perfect, sinless life, so was the perfect sacrifice. He excruciatingly suffered and died on the cross to pay the FULL debt we owe because of sin; justice is fully done. You and I broke God's law and Jesus paid the fine in his life's blood, being resurrected again 3 days later. That’s why he said “It is finished” on the cross - in other words the debt has been paid. God has the payment ready to go for you. What you need to do is repent (recognising you are a sinner deserving God's punishment, turn to Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins. Our works can do nothing as by the standard of God’s moral law we fail, but faith in him is enough to save us from all sin - past, present and future! Then though you have grievously offended God, he will forgive you and you will inherit eternal life being reborn in the Holy Spirit when you put your trust in the Lord and saviour. Too, you enter a covenant relationship with God - sonship, and truly I tell you your life will change in his presence. So repent and trust (i.e. Biblical faith), receive the free gift of grace. He redeemed me. God, The King of The Universe, came down as a man. He lived the first 30 years of his life as a poor carpenter then spent the next 3 preaching, healing and saving souls - all the while being persecuted, insulted and hated by his own people - and took the punishment to save our lives. It’s the most amazing love that anyone ever displayed. Christianity’s not just a religion. It's a pure, sweet relationship with God. Because of Jesus, I am now a son of God. He is my dad, and you can be his child too. God loves you. Will you let him come?. . .. . .. . .

[@summer-roseknight]

Qui-gon and Obi-wan vs Maul was awesome. The choreography alone was captivating, but it kept us on our toes. But my favourite was also No.1. The greatest light saber duel in history.

[@TheCrow938]

I understand that everyone likes to throw jokes around about the "I have the high ground" quote but there is actual significance to it. Soresu is the form Obi Wan was known for. It was a powerful defensive form of lightsaber combat that Obi Wan was known as an unparalleled master of. There is a stance that involves having higher ground than your opponent that makes your defense unbreakable and being the best at that style both Obi Wan and Anakin knew that. Obi Wan was trying to point it out to get Anakin to give up and back down hoping he could see that he wouldn't win in that situation so he wouldn't have to hurt his apprentice.

[@wd3185]

Yeah. The fact that Obi-Wan is specialized in that form of combat is why he was chosen to combat General Grievous, because it was the only form that sufficiently countered Grievous' lightning fast attacks and sheer brute strength. (At least, in Legends this is true).

[@sybil2707]

It's also because his "Don't try it" line wasn't just "don't challenge my position", but it was also a "don't try the exact same move I used on Maul back in the day because I know how to counter it."

[@jcoolguy1548]

That's awesome

[@lapplandkun9273]

the stance you are referring to is called sokan. Luke also attempted to use it later against vader during on the second death star but vader uses a lightsaber throw to counter it

[@lapplandkun9273]

@@wd3185 lightsaber forms are confirmed in canon as well, so this still can be inferred as the reason obi wan was sent to kill grievous

[@starryagent9936]

Even if you dislike the choreography for TROS’s last duel, the setting IMO helps to make up for it. Watching them duke it out on the Second Death Star’s wreckage with those crashing waves is one of my favorite moments from the sequel films. Plus, there’s some serious poetry their tying into Revenge’s Mustafar duel; in that fight, they’re on a fire planet with the Skywalker on the offensive. On Endor, their surrounded by water, and the Skywalker (Kylo) is defending himself.

[@willisstillhere8846]

I fundamentally think not having the Rebels Obi-wan vs Maul final fight is a crime. That has got to be the most poetic Star Wars scenes ever.

[@starwrs3468]

I see. They mention how people were dissatisfied with the prequels but no word of how garbage the sequels were.

[@TAZo-ml6ft]

This is so true

[@SPM0717]

Way to put words in their mouth when they said nothing of the sort; they mentioned one prequel film, not all three. It's a fact many were dissatisfied with The Phantom Menace but Maul was seen as one of the few high points, if not the highest, and mentioning this in a video about lightsaber fights was perfectly acceptable. The sequel trilogy is not exempt from this as they literally address fan criticism for The Force Awakens where some didn't like how Rey beat Kylo. Tell me at what point would they have been given an opportunity to say that some fans weren't pleased with the sequel trilogy overall?

[@nginamandouma4246]

The sequels all ready got the hate Now I do like the sequels but neither of them are bad to me now I do think people are overreacting about the sequels

[@optimusakc]

The score of Luke vs Darth Vader in ROTJ is my favorite with Dual of the fates a very close second. The fight is not as flashy but the music is just so foreboding and intense. Great list Mojo

[@eladamittai2753]

Obi wan vs Maul in rebels was amazing!!!! The little details they put in the fight, the attention to the stance of each combatant, it was beautiful. Deserves to be on the list.

“Hello there!!” The moment this list is uploaded, I have to say those two immortal words from the high ground master and the master of sass and trolling in words, Obi wan Kenobi. ⚔️⚔️⚔️🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏. Impressive, most impressive. Another quote that summarized his former apprentice turned Sith Lord. The force is strong with this list. Seeing Rey force pulled the saber to her hand is just gorgeous, even years after its release since 2015.

[@emilycanfield2634]

The best part about Luke vs Vader is the way Palpitine sits on his throne and tries to manipulate Luke the way he did Anakin. Also when Vader says "Obi-Wan taught you well" after Luke kicks him down the stairs to gain the highground was amazing. Even if it wasn't 20 years of foreshadowing for the prequels, it's still amazing they remembered all that and put it in the prequel movies.

[@jasoneras4837]

Ashoka vs Vader needs to be in the TOP 5 period.

[@brianrunyon266]

So many great ones. Love the ones from the original, prequel trilogies, and both Cone Wars series.

[@assaftevet]

The clone wars had so many good lightsaber duels. This show is so freaking amazing.

[@DarthCheese]

So they put sequel fights infront of a prequel fight and Grievous at 20. The sequels have nothing against the rest of Star Wars media and Grievous in 2003 clone wars is one of the coolest things.

I personally think the fight between Yoda and Palpatine should have been higher up, they both and great dialogue in that scene and was incredibly cool to see Yoda doing flips and jumps of the Chancellors stand as they arise into the Senate. I thought it was so captivating seeing Palpatine throw Senate Stands at Yoda and seeing their joint strength in the force. I just feel it deserved a higher ranking than 7. Just my personal opinion.

[@michaelgualtieri651]

I'm sorry, this list does have the best lightsaber fights in the franchises history. But no "Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Darth Maul" from "Rebels"? Not even as a proper honorable mention, like are you kidding me??!

[@danmurgy9125]

it is the perfect way for their rivalry to end. Each of them has likely pictured their final fight thousands of times and you can see them adjusting as they watch each others opening moves. it felt like it was almost a formality, that Maul had to fight Kenobi one last time before he could let go of his hatred and pain, and finally find some inner peace. Obi-Wan comes to the fight like it is a burden he has long carried. He wants to spare Maul, possibly deep down he hopes the Maul will surprise him and come not to fight, but to seek a calmer way, despite what Ezra has told him. After Kenobi's counter attack, it feels like they are talking as old friends who have too late put aside the silly feud that has kept them apart for years, rather than as mortal enemies. Kenobi makes sure Maul's last moments are comfortable as possible, and gives him a glimmer of hope before he passes. It is as perfect a scene as rebels produced in my opinion.

[@xQuickstrikes]

Not a lot of people understand the meaning behind that fight and I doubt mojo would

[@yourmotherisaseal5239]

To be fair, it isn’t a proper lightsaber duel so I can understand why it didn’t make it on the list. But the fact that such a perfect ending to their rivalry didn’t get an honourable mention is an outrage

[@14MovieMusic]

Too short.

[@R0b1n-f8t]

It was more of an emotional fight rather than a visual one.@@danmurgy9125explained it best but Mual tried to kill Obi-Wan the same way he killed Qui-gon in what seemed to be a mocking fashion but only because Obi-Wan baited him into it by using Qui-gon's stance.

[@jacobfarr2198]

Few thoughts... I don’t like Rey, especially how she can just come in and be the best and beat Kylo Ren without any training. It’s kind of dumb.
