Man they are both SO good, its really hard to pick one. Great arguments for both. Vader is just so menacing. Like that scene puts him above most horror icons like Jason and Freddy for me because of how powerless a room full of armed soldiers were against him and how efficiently and brutally he cuts through them. Lukes is a more impressive feat because hes effortlessly taking down a hallway full of droids that are normally very difficult to kill. The mandalorian is a badass and nearly died just taking on a single droid. Of course, I have no doubt Vader would have just as easily handled the phase III dark troopers.

Honestly they get such a bad rap, but this is common in pretty much every show/movie with guns. I think that the lasers somehow make it more noticeable. How many movies do we watch the heroes run away from machine gun fire and the bullets hit everything around them except themselves? How many heroes dodge close range gunfire, machine gun fire, sniper fire, and my personal favorite dodging helicopter guns?

These are good points, but honestly despite losing, I thought Qui-Gon Jinn had one of the coolest and cleanest looking fighting styles of all the Jedi. Like his movements are so aggressive and confident. The way he backhands Maul off the walkway, and how hes ducking Mauls strikes and striking back relentlessly, and then has one of the most badass Star Wars moments when he calmly meditates between the shield/barriers. Watching him lose suddenly after all that kinda does feel namby Pamby. It does not help that Maul has barely any dialogue and is not properly developed in the movie at all.
