the first two are better at choreography. the last two are much better in terms of emotional impact
Palpatine vs maul and savage is one of the few times we get to see Palpatine dueling skills and further cements just how powerful he really is compared to maul who has been shown to be a powerful character on his own. Much like kenobi and jfo have done for vader that scene really lets us see the villains true capabilities rather than scenes where they are facing protagonists who we all know are guaranteed to win because of the plot lines requirements.
This is hard, all are really good in their own way:
Maul & Savage vs Sidious is amazing to watch. It's one of the only times we see Sidious in action, and seeing him sweep Savage, whom has quite the jedi-killing reputation, so easily. And the choreography is stellar.
Maul vs Ahsoka is my favourite duel in the entire SW saga. Big call, I know, but the Lighting! Choreography! Dialogue! Animation! It's all soooo good! It's also so nice to see how far Ahsoka has come in this one too.
Ahsoka vs Vader is such an emotionally powerful duel. When I first watched Rebels I didn't know she lived, and cried my eyes out for a bit. Even if the rebels fight scenes are "eh", both of the big ones make up for it in emotions. Which brings us too:
Obi-Wan vs Maul. Damn I love this scene so much. It was sad to see Maul die, he was such a great villain, but it was in such a developmental way for both Obi-Wan and Maul's characters. And the dialogue hits hard, damn.
In terms of visuals and choreography nothing tops Maul vs Ahsoka, but man, Obi-Wan and Maul's final duel is just... perfect
It's the moment Obi-Wan truly cements himself as the wisened old Master we see in A New Hope, using all he knows of himself and Maul to the fullest and beating him in just three swings. And Maul just... accepts; he knows now that it's over. After so many decades of hatred, Maul can rest in peace.
Nice poll, these are all great. I have to go with Obi Wan v Maul. The fact that it was so short, I just love how they put story over visuals, it was the perfect death for Maul.
Every time I see Rebels in a poll, I think of how much I have to rewatch it. I barely remember it
MvA and MvO.
I think Kanan and Ezra vs Grand Inquisitor (Star Destroyer), as well as Obi-Wan vs Maul and Savage (Florrum), deserve a spot here too.
But picking from these, Ahsoka V Maul. The choreography alone is enough to clown on all the others for me.
"There is no mercy" is my favorite Sidious quote
Favorite lightsaber duels in the animated series
