The Duel of the Fates (The Fight)
While the soundtrack definitely plays a huge part of why Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Maul’s duel through Theed’s power generators works, the fight itself—a thing that has been nitpicked on over and over in the years since—is still a fabulous bit of spectacle. Getting to see Force users fight like this was unlike anything the action of the original trilogy could give—the twirls, the leaps, even the fact that it’s a trio of combatants for the most part, instead of a one-on-one duel. Less of a clash of swords and more of a dance, it still sets a high standard to this day for Star Wars lightsaber fights.
