The two poles of Star Wars are its love of Eastern philosophy and mysticism and how much its fans enjoy watching people hit each other with laser swords. The best fights in the history of the franchise attempt to bridge that gap, reminding us that great fighting can have some thematic and spiritual heft. Of course, there are also of plenty of fights in Star Wars that are just plain cool, whether they occurred inside one of the movies or were on TV. There’s nothing better than a little lightsaber play, so in honor of that, here are the best fights in the history of the franchise.
Luke vs. Darth Vader, The Empire Strikes Back
Perhaps the definitive Star Wars fight, what makes Luke’s first face-off with Darth Vader so epic is the incredible production design around it. Cloud City has never been topped as a Star Wars location, and while Luke finds himself totally outmatched by Vader, watching him get a beating remains thrilling to this day. It doesn’t hurt that the fight climaxes with Vader’s immortal revelation about Luke’s father, but that’s really just the icing on top of the cake that is this phenomenal battle.
