It's the conclusion to the wildly unnecessary reveal that Rey is Palpatine's grandaughter, it's taking place beneath a space battle that barely makes sense, and it's a dimly-lit, poorly-staged rehash of the immensely more enjoyable throne room team-up in The Last Jedi. Unfortunately, there's a laundry list of reasons I wasn't into any of this.
The first entry on this list that isn't technically a lightsaber fight, but it is a pretty big piece of the franchise's puzzle: Rey ( Daisy Ridley) and a recently-reformed Ben Solo ( Adam Driver) simultaneously take on The Knights of Ren and Emperor Palpatine's Imperial Guard underneath Exegol. Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, and Saesee Tiin With all that out of the way, let's get into it.Ģ0) Palpatine vs. That scene objectively whips an indescribable amount of ass, but calling it a "fight" is like saying the Death Star had an intellectual debate with Alderaan. I also did not include Darth Vader's appearance from Rogue One. Darth Vader from "Twilight of the Apprentice" would arguably be #1, if that helps.) Dave Filoni's small-screen universe is wonderful, but this list does not need to be 150 entries long. I didn't include any TV series scenes from Clone Wars, Rebels, or The Mandalorian. (Of course, I also threw this rule out the window several times on this list.
I extend my deepest regrets to Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. To be included, a scene had to feature participants fighting each other with lightsabers, not just using a lightsaber in a fight. Lightsaber duels are often the centerpiece of a Star Wars film, and that means iconic, classic moments mixed in with a few swing-and-a-miss duds. An elegant weapon from a more civilized age."īoy, have those weapons been featured in many scenes both elegant and clumsy. And as far back as I can remember, nothing has defined Star Wars more than the whooshing, whirring hum of a lightsaber. "The weapon of a Jedi Knight," Obi-Wan Kenobi ( Alec Guinness) says in A New Hope. By now, fans know the story of Star Wars beat-for-beat, but it's also always been a franchise equally built on its iconography.
