the best part of any starwars movie. is  the lightsabre battles...... we 've only ever seen four people use a lightsabre. so far.. and one of them only used it to cut meat. 

our first encounter with the lightsabre is in ben;s hovel, when he presents one to luke much like the one that ben kenobi carried on his belt but this one was in pristine condition. ben tells young luke that his father had wanted him to have it.....interesting plot note....... 

luke began lessons with obi-wan......who gave help guiding luke with the lightsabre teaching him to focus on  his natural abbilities with the force. useing his lightsabre as and extention of himself

.obi-wan-kenobi and darth vader ( former annikan skywalker)  the battle is is fought with and age old mastery. a battle fought once before and now they meet again...the lightsabres ignite and ancient sword play ensues between two masters.......  in the end, obi wan looks to luke. rescuing leia and in that moment obi -wan knows  he can only help young skywalker if he is dead..... so Obi-wan-kenobi looks into the black mask of his old apprentice and says as he lowers his lightsabre..." if you strike me down now darth....i will become... more powerful than you can ever imagine......
so be it  ...
With one stroke vader cuts him down,     obi-wan submits to the blow...........as vaders blade strikes him.....he vanishes...and his cloak  falls empty to the floor

    the battle that insues is one of the best lightsabre battles of the trilogy,  they do flips and fall through passage ways .....hurl things with the force.  and then ultimatly the confrontation......................at the edge of a thin walk way you are beaten don't let yourself be destroyed as obi-wan did  luke's hand cut off by vaders lightsabre, he barely clings to the apperatus ....................................darth vader reaches out and speaks to luke

Take your weapon...strike me down........... and your journey to the darkside will be complete...... 


.. luke reaches for his lightsabre to lash out at palpatine vader is quicker and blocks lukes blow. 

good .................use you agressive feelings boy..let the hate flow through you
 a spectacular scene of jedi sword play ensues
still luke says he does not want to fight his father.
your thoughts betray you father ..i feel the good in you..i feel the conflict..
there is no conflict.. 

give yourself to the darkside...it is the only way you can help your friends...


.until while hiding from vader ,,,,,,in a moment of fear........   .luke's thoughts betray him and.
                            .vader learns of leih. 

a sister...so you have a twin sister..your feelings have betrayed her too...........  obi wan was wise  to hide her from me..now his failure is complete..if you will not be turned to the darkside of the force..then purhapse she will... 

the thought of vader corrupting leia........ throws luke

into a blind rage and hacks away at vader with his lightsabre untill vader is unarmed by  luke hacking off vaders  hand.
