10 Most Epic Star Wars Lightsaber Duels

3. Ahsoka Vs. Maul - The Clone Wars

The final lightsaber duel in Clone Wars is also the series' most epic.

When Ahsoka travels to Mandalore to defeat Maul once and for all, she confronts him in his throne room. There, he offers her an alliance to take down Sidious. Ahsoka rejects the offer once he tells her the only way to defeat Sidious is to kill Anakin, and whips out her lightsabers, preparing for a fight.

Maul takes out his double bladed lightsaber for the first time since Episode I and counters Ahsoka's every move. The fight is crisp, with each strike coming in both quickly and powerfully. Ray Park, who played Maul in Phantom Menace, choreographed the fight, along with stuntwoman Lauren Mary Kim, who stood in for Ahsoka. Their efforts paid off, resulting in one of the most visually stunning lightsaber fights in all of Star Wars.
