Darth Vader's best onscreen lightsaber duels.
Summary As the first Star Wars character to have a lightsaber duel onscreen, Darth Vader set the standard that each subsequent entry would strive to top. A good lightsaber duel is now a quintessential aspect of the Star Wars experience, creating a visually stunning and highly entertaining fight and physically representing the battle between the light and dark sides.
The style also allows the scene to focus more on the characters, with witty dialogue that hints at their shared history. However, the most memorable part of the scene comes when Obi-Wan realizes he won't make it out alive, choosing to let Vader strike him down and become one with the Force. The first Star Wars lightsaber duel ended with a victory for Darth Vader but established the themes that would come full circle by the end of the original trilogy.
It was a brilliant way to show how powerful Vader was compared to the Grand Inquisitor from the first season, who died in a fast-paced and acrobatic duel with Kanan. Vader easily bests a master and apprentice, survives being crushed by an Imperial walker, and deflects blaster bolts back at Sabine Wren, who would have died without her Mandalorian armor. Vader and Kanan's duel adopted the general style of the first Star Wars movie while adding more weight and purpose to each strike.
