As already discussed, Attack of the Clones is a deeply flawed movie with a couple of stand-out moments, and this is the best of 'em. Boba Fett has become a major fan-favourite, but it's his father Jango who really gets to show what a Mandalorian bounty hunter is capable of.

While the series has many epic lightsaber fights, this - given one of the duo isn't a Jedi - offers up something really different, as Obi-Wan's lightsaber faces off against Jango's blasters and then, halfway through, they discard the weapons altogether and resort to fists, feet, and even a headbutt, which bring new dynamics to the fight and help add tension to the outcome.

All of this takes place on the rain-soaked Kamino backdrop, which looks incredible and helps give it an added dramatic effect, making it one of the most underrated fights in the series.
