Loved hearing you guys debating about your favorite lightsaber duels. Definitely you need to do same with animated series, etc. maybe do EU books and comics???
One that wasn’t mentioned but would have been in my own list: Ahsoka vs. Morgan E. In the Mando episode “The Jedi”. From that spear ring to the end it was awesome. Also the first live action heavy hint that Thrawn was still alive! Great nostalgia moment for me as a Chiss Grand Admiral fan.
Great show. Keep it up!
