Every Star Wars Lightsaber Battle Ranked From Worst To Best
13. Anakin & Obi-Wan Vs. Count Dooku - Attack Of The Clones
How much can you hate a lightsaber battle starring Christopher freaking Lee, moreover one that sees him handing Obi-Wan and Anakin's collective a**es a major world of hurt?
In terms of saber action, Dooku easily overpowers Obi-Wan while mocking his lack of skills, and even when Anakin intervenes with two sabers, Dooku easily bats one away and smoothly controls the fight.
Thanks to some fairly subtle effects work (for the standards of the series, anyway) Lee actually looks rather convincing here, and though it's a totally one-sided fight, it does what it needs to in a timely fashion, while naturally leading to an arm inevitably getting sliced off (Anakin's in this instance).
The choreography and direction are far from perfect, but at least the fight's loaded with meaning and you get to see Hayden Christensen brutally dismembered by an 80-year-old man, so it's not that bad.
