Every Star Wars Lightsaber Battle Ranked From Worst To Best

4. Obi-Wan Vs. Anakin - Revenge Of The Sith

Some may criticise the fight for its atrocious dialogue ("From my point of view the Jedi are evil!") and how it represents the series' absolute CGI excesses, but it's an undeniable iconic battle all the same, featuring some of Lucas' best prequel direction as the two former allies finally go toe-to-toe.

The setting is incredibly cool, the fight choreography is terrific, the music is fantastic, and with it signalling Anakin's complete transformation into Darth Vader, it's one of the most important sequences in the franchise.

Yes, it gets rather silly near the end with the floating platforms and robots and all, but if your heart wasn't pounding when you first saw this, you're probably lying.
