Man TFA deserves at least one vote if the prequel trilogy combined has 23

hooray
I can't reasonably vote for TFA's lightsaber fight over the Luke/Vader ones but I thought it was really nicely shot and it was a good climax to the film. Beats any of the PT sequences by a mile for me.

Yeah, I liked Episode VII's duel a lot, but it's hard to top either Luke/Vader duel for me.
Same, VII's duel was great and a welcome change over any of the trash fights of the prequels.
Nothing will ever top Luke vs Vader on Bespin though.

Everything's a joke
god is kylo pathetic. in fact, i forgot how feeble all of the villains were in that movie.
the snow / falling trees aesthetic of TFA's duel is super cool, but the duel sucks so much story/emotion wise
and TPM wins on pure theatrics. i totally buy the idea of golden era jedi/sith planning fifteen moves in advance with infinity feints, seemingly not aiming at each other, passionless in battle.
voted for ESB because everything actually fit together well

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
Kylo being pathetic is what makes that duel good though
I voted for a Vader fight but man I wish I voted for the Kylo Ren fight. It's a really great lightsabre fight while not even being focused on the lightsabres. It's basically exactly how they should be used.
The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG
Obi wan vs anakin was intense as hell. I wasn't a huge fan of prequel dance fighting but that was a fight that delivered in a big way.
From my point of view the Jedi are evil!!

I honestly didn't even remember the duel in the last movie.

The acting in that fight had some major cringe. But the fighting itself was good. They made excellent.use of the environment.

Obi-wan/Anakin would have been better if it wasn't overly long and done over a bunch of cgi lava for no reason

The molten landscape served to make it a reasonable location for them to have been constructing the first death star. Thematically it was appropriate.
Granted the prequels should not have been bending over backwards so hard to connect all the locations and events of the prequels with the original trilogy and i don't think it made sense for the death star to have already been under construction... But that's the direction they went with so the lava fits.

I was extremely disappointed by how boring the Obi-Wan/Anakin fight was when I rewatched it.
The fact that it was on a molten planet is fine but it felt like they went out of their way to have a duel over the volcano level of a video game for no reason and it kind of took me out of it. I think it wouldn't have bothered me as much if the fight wasn't so long, but it takes way too long for it to reach its conclusion.
To each his own then. McGregor in that scene acted fine and I felt as though you could tell he was holding back and didn't want to have to destroy anakin. I think a major contributing factor to the battle's lengths was him coming to grips with what he had to do and for me that made the scene more powerful.
I do however have to pretend that anakin never speaks... :/

Dooku never beat Yoda
Also, I really like Anakin vs. Obi. I know it's a bit ridiculous and pointlessly flashy but it's so much fun. Also I saw it in the cinema which is a point over both Vader/Luke duels
The end of the RotJ duel is absolutely phenomenal though. Everything from Luke screaming "NEVER" at Vader is like my favourite minute in cinema

He wasn't meant to be a nobody, RotS just made shitty decisions and made it look that way.

story wise yes. it's just tough to beat maul's visual design

ESB is the only one that really stands out to me in hindsight. Like every lightsaber fight is fairly fun to watch, but for all the others part of me just thinks "wait, I remembered that being cooler than it was" if I watch it again.
We clasped our hands, our hands in praise of a conquerors right to tyranny
