And it simply would not be a Prequel flick without more lightsaber duels and skirmishes than fans knew what to do with.

With this many sacred Jedi and Sith weapons being brandished over the feature's massive 140-minute runtime then, it was only natural for a few lightsaber firsts to pop up on the Prequel screen throughout Episode III.
