Star Wars: Every Lightsaber Duel Ranked Worst To Best

Like The Last Jedi, everyone has their opinions about Attack of the Clones, but let this entry serve as a reminder that the film's last act is actually pretty brilliant. You've got the Jedi gearing up for the Battle of Geonosis, Mace Windu taking out Jango Fett, and the official introduction of the clone army.

One of the best parts of the final act comes with Obi-Wan and Anakin's duel with the sinister and supremely powerful Count Dooku, the fallen apprentice of Grand Master Yoda. The scene reveals Dooku's devastating use of Force-lightning, and shows just how great a duelist he is when he badly wounds Obi-Wan.

The one-on-one between Anakin and the Count is a particular high-point, as Skywalker dual-wields his and Obi-Wan's lightsabers and the pair do battle in darkness, paying homage to Luke and Vader's fight in Return of the Jedi.

It may not be very long, but it solidifies Dooku as a serious threat, and sees Obi-Wan and Anakin working together in a duel for the first time.
