In the finale of the first season of Star Wars: Rebels, shortly after Ezra saves Kanan from the clutches of the Grand Inquisitor, the pair run into him again. Kanan takes Ezra's blaster saber and charges the Inquisitor, firing all the while, as the Inquisitor deflects each blast with his double bladed spinning lightsaber.

As the pair fight, Ezra uses the Force to retrieve Kanan's stolen lightsaber from the Grand Inquisitor, echoing another fight between a Dark Side User with a double bladed lightsaber and a Jedi Master/Apprentice duo taking place on a bridge.

When the Inquisitor knocks Ezra off the bridge, Kanan believes his apprentice to be dead, and lets loose on the Inquisitor. He picks up both lightsabers and overpowers the Inquisitor, slicing his lightsaber in half and causing a fire beneath them. In a horrifying moment, the Inquisitor tells Kanan that some fates are worse than death as he lets himself fall into the fire to his death.

Every moment of this fight screams "epic," from the Kanan/Ezra team to the Grand Inquisitor's badass lightsaber to his ultimate demise.
