the emperor gives him the litle of Vader in episode 3, i presume his first fight as vader is between him and ob-wan

you can be as anally retentive as you like but you know what was meant

Draupnir

anally retentive?

your the one spouting on about Darth Maul v Darth Vader. Stuff that happens in comics and books doesnt belong in a discussion relating to the movies, as the movies are the whole story, as opposed to comics which are there to drain money from people.

Darth Maul died when Anakin was a kid as far as the official timeline and the movies go, so that will do for me.

This is the Star Wars board. As Ive pointed out it is not the Films board or any subsection of it.

The OP said Vader is crap in Ep 4-6 Vs Ep 1-3.

I disagree for 2 reasons.
1) Vader has the limitation of the suit.
2) Flashing lights and gymnastics arent the deciding factor in how good a swordsman vader is.

If you limit your sources you'll limit your knowledge. But pray, do tell me how an example of a good fight sceen not in a movie has anything to do with the timeline.
So what if you dont accept Maul ever fought Vader, what has that to do with the point that the fight scene was more exciting and gripping than, say, Dooku Vs Yoda.

Draupnir

For the simple reason, that Darth Maul and Darth Vader, never really fought. All that comic/book stuff is money making gone crazy.

Darth Maul died on Naboo when Anakin Skywalker was a child. How did Darth Maul then fight Darth Vader, who didnt exist until about 15 years later?

Star Wars, the actual proper story, in my opinion anyway, is built up over 6 movies.

Stabshauptmann

But what has that to do with my point??!!

My point is the way the fight was portrayed, not what effect the fight had in the star wars universe. I dont care if its not cannon because thats irrelevent.

This thread is about fight scenes and wheather the ones in Ep4-6 are gripping enough.
If I had made references to Kill Bill or crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon would you also complain that they're not SW cannon?

Redeye - where did you get this comic? Is it online somewhere?

They would be just as irrelevant as your comic yes. I have a Darth Vader figure and a Darth Maul figure, Ill play with them when I go home and put together quite a fight scene. Would that then be eligible for consideration as the greatest fight scene in your opinion.

Anyway, its a comic, so there is no real fight scene apart from your imagination, which means its different in everyones head.
