The great thing about having a personal blog is that I can write about whatever makes me happy. Today, it’s Star Wars.

Actually, this was a question that my older son asked. What are the best lightsaber battles? I love these questions-they don’t really have just one answer so you can argue over who is right with no real winner.

Let’s get to it. If you don’t agree with this list-I’m ready for your complaints.

5: Darth Maul & Savage Opress vs Darth Sidious (The Clone Wars)

Just to be clear, this is from the Clone Wars animated series. This is my son’s favorite (he’s a huge Clone Wars fan). It’s pretty cool because it shows how powerful Sidious can be when he wants. Also, bonus points for the Dark Saber.

Double bonus, here is my son’s reenactment of this battle. Brace yourself.
