Star Wars: Ranking Every Space Battle Worst To Best

15. Battle Of Naboo - Episode I

The first prequel gives us our first entry on this particular list and although it's a decent watch, it's not a patch on the rest of the entries due.

A young Anakin shows us his skills as a pilot as he strictly obeys Qui-Gon's orders to "stay in the cockpit". Young Skywalker does just that, and ends up in a spot of bother.

Aside from a few cheesy lines - "take this" and "now this, is pod racing" - being among them, there are definitely some nice bits in the Battle of Naboo.

Obviously, Anakin wins the day as he destroys the Viceroy's ship from the inside.

It's not perfect, nor is it mind-blowing, but it does its job and contributes to a decent enough finale for The Phantom Menace.
