That’s the opinion of stunt coordinator Nick Gillard, who helped choreograph the fights throughout the prequel trilogy.
Gillard was discussing the lightsaber battle in The Phantom Menance when we mentioned that the Darth Maul vs. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon three-way bout is considered by many fans to be the best laser sword contest in the entire saga.
Then Gillard surprised us by revealing: No… there is another…
There is “a better one” fans never saw, Gillard said — a Revenge of the Sith fight in which Obi-Wan takes on six of General Grievous’ bodyguards at the same time.
