Good morning, Leias and Jedimen! It’s your pal Darth David here and it’s Star Wars Day! May the Fourth be with you!
It’s a time to celebrate the Galaxy which is far, far away and all the wonderful things that come with it: aliens, spaceships, bizarre planets, creatures and monsters, lasers, and…of course…lightsabers!

Honestly…the lightsaber has to be the most iconic weapon in cinematic history. Maybe you could throw in Indiana Jones’ whip or something…but nothing comes close to the legendary lightsaber. You can just listen to it and know that it’s on and ready for business…the very sound of the lightsaber is that famous.
So…we’re making a list…the Top Lightsaber Duels Ever…and while usually I only do Top 5’s…it’s Star Wars Day, baby! There’s just too many great fights to ignore! We’re going with NINE duels in honor of the RAT and also as a tribute to how many episodic Saga films exist! Watch Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, and more engage in epic lightsaber battles that will leave your jaw on the floor.
So, let’s go! Check out these amazing duels with video below! And may the Fourth be with you!
