Every Epic Rap Battles Of History Ranked

3. Luke Skywalker Vs. Harry Potter

Rappers: Peter (Luke Skywalker) and Dave Brown (Harry Potter). This episode is done in Lego stop-motion.

Thanks to a certain pandemic, ERB were largely inactive for much of 2020, but delivered two battles near the end of the year. One of them was the election battle, the other was this long-desired match-up. Did it live up to its potential? No. It exceeded it.

Out of nowhere, the team delivered one of the all-time best episodes. Brilliantly animated and packed with brilliantly-written lines, detailed references and mind-blowing insults, this is absolute YouTube gold.

Both Potter and Skywalker deliver masterful lines from beginning to end and it'll very hard for many to decide who won since both characters got so many amazing lines. Thanks to all the detail in the writing and the visuals, you could watch this one tens of times and never get bored; this will no doubt go down in history as one of ERB's masterpieces.

Best Line:

Harry Potter: "The death of my mother saved the wizarding race / Your mum died of heartache when she saw your face! / You swamp school dropout, you're too whiny to rhyme! / At least when I Slytherin a sister, she isn't mine!"
