Star Wars: Every Lightsaber Duel Ranked Worst To Best

As we enter the creme-de-la-creme of the franchise's duels, we come to the most mesmerising moment of the entire sequel trilogy. After he turns on Snoke and cuts the First Order leader in two, Kylo Ren finds himself teaming up with long-standing enemy Rey as the pair are attacked by Snoke's Praetorian Guards.

Now, sure, it's technically not a lightsaber duel since the Guard's aren't using sabers, but it's such a beautifully shot and exciting display of choreography and violence that it just has to be included. Kylo and Rey take on a dozen Guards, all determined to take the unlikely duo down, with the pair ending up victorious despite some close calls.

The whole sequence, shot to perfection by directior Rian Johnson, plays like a classic samurai film, complete with great cinematography and a clear turning point in the relationship of Rey and Ren, which would be further explored in Rise of Skywalker.
