REY vs KYLO REN III (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker) Seriously though, why didn’t Mace just kill him? C’mon man! 24. It features one of our greatest prequel memes (“I am the Senate”), but it also features terrible CGI Palpatine, bizarre spinning, odd screaming and facial expressions, and a “shocking” unmasking of Palpatine’s “true face”, the schematics of which is still the source of debate 15 years later.Īll of this doesn’t even cover the fact that Mace Windu had Sidious on his death bed and couldn’t close it out, thus dooming the galaxy to two decades of Imperial rule. One of the most frustrating lightsaber duels in all of Star Wars begins with the attempt by Mace Windu, Saesee Tiin, Agen Kolar, and Kit Fisto to bring Supreme Chancellor Palpatine under arrest. KIT FISTO, SAESEE TIIN, AGEN KOLAR, & MACE WINDU vs DARTH SIDIOUS (Star Wars: Episode III–Revenge of the Sith) Here’s your list of the best lightsaber duels in Star Wars: 25. Whether it’s the stakes or history behind the fight, the actual choreography, what the fight means to the overall Galaxy, or just plain how cool it is, we have the definitive ranking right here. So this May 4th for Star Wars Day, we are breaking down the 25 most iconic lightsaber duels in Star Wars and ranking them from worst to best.
