Lightsaber fights you wish happened (EU thread)

Author

If you could gather two characters or a team to duke it out, what lightsaber fight would you have between two SW characters? Where would the fight take place, and would it be in the hyper choreographed PT style or the more rigid forms of the Original trilogy?

Not sure if you're asking this on the right forum, bub... but, I'll humor you. Two characters, hm? Let's see... Greedo. Aaaaaaand Han. I'd be interested mostly to see, of course, who swung first.

 Blech! You want to see Palpy fight with a lightsaber? To each his own, I guess.

only because it's a fighting game and not a canonical event

 Fair enough

Every time I think this forum might be slightly less nerdy than other nerd forums, I see a thread like this one.

This forum still needs to be nerder than it is.

Maybe if I write some erotic fanfiction of me having sexual escapades with various superheroines and post them in the re-writing section ...

Darth Vader vs Obi-Wan Kenobi over the edge of a volcano.

 You mean after he killed Skywalker that was the original concept.

Vader was a separate character and not Luke's father.

It was in 78 or 79 he decided on making Vader the father. 

Yeah imagine a star wars where Luke and Leia and Darth are not related.  You pretty much can only watch the first movie.

“Always loved Vader’s wordless self sacrifice. Another shitty, clueless, revision like Greedo and young Anakin’s ghost. What a fucking shame.” -Simon Pegg.

I'd love stories that are set in a universe in which only the first movie happened.

ESB heavily hinted that this was Luke's father and ROTJ named him I have no problem with that but to have him openly Hayden at that point in the story on a volcanic planet doesn't do it for me.

When the idea was put to me I saw a red bladed, masked, helmeted villain fighting a noble Knight over a volcano. The villain got a blade slash to the back of the head and got horribly injured when he fell into the crater (presumed dead).

Since seeing Vader in the meditation chamber in 1980 I imagined that fight and the I got ROTS.

Why would Vader wear his mask/helmet/armor before he got injured?

To hide his identity, because he is bad and it looks scary.

I'd like to see Grievous fight himself. That way he'd chop himself up to pieces, which would certainly bring me nothing but joy as I hate the shitty character.

Would love to see Plagueis vs. Darth Caedus.

While Legacy writers were horribly inconsistent with the writing, Caedus's feat of holding his own with his uncle should be on par with the best lightsaber moments in the mythos. Plagueis's dueling skill isn't explored well, but his physical strength, battlemind, and speed would be a great counterpoint to Caedus's skill.
