Just a Face and a Caption: Awesome.Revenge Of The Sith

The current image is Darth Vader and the 501st marching on the Jedi Templ. Without context, this is JAFAAC. I suggest replacing it with one of Anakin clashing lightsabers with Obi-Wan.

I can take or leave it.

Alright some options:

I like 3.1 the best of those.

Yeah, 3.1 has the best composition.

3.1.

Is 3.1 already on a page?

It's the bottom image for We Used to Be Friends. I did pick the image on that page a while back ago. I originally also did one featuring the duel in Mustafar but learned that it was already used for Climactic Volcano Backdrop

Here are some other suggestions that could work as well. IDK about doing one for the Battle over Coruscant because it might be a little too chaotic as an image for the page.

Bottom image, for not being a lightsaber fight.

Switch it up a bit.

Like, I agree with your sentiment, but 3.1's composition is awesome and 8.3 is way too busy.

The Coruscant battle (at least, that particular screencap) is a bit too busy. I quite like the Sidious/Yoda lightsaber fight, even if it's yet another lightsaber fight.

Is there a shot where you can more easily see their faces for part of We Used to Be Friends? I mean, it's not going to be obvious anyway since they're not the same ages in the comparison, but I think recognition counts for something, at least.

3.1 is a good pick, 8.3 is too dense.

In terms of replacement quotes, there was a line that always stuck with me prior to the release of Revenge of the Sith. It was from the 1983 ROTJ novel, which hyped me up for ROTS despite being a line long:

"We fought…your father fell into a molten pit."

If not the actual quote, then certainly something to allude how fans were anticipating this duel of the century since the 80s.

The quotation is good, but out of context the picture looks more like some ritual than some fight.

I'd go for the Coruscant space battle in 8.3, myself. I don't think "too busy" is necessarily a bad thing in images that people will be looking at for a fair bit of time while reading the entries. But if it is too busy, 3.3 is the next best thing for showing the scale of the lightsaber duel in question.

3.1 is on We Used to Be Friends (and here's the old thread... gah, can't believe it's been 7 years) and it's clearly more valuable for that one, if only for making clearer than 3.3 that Obi-Wan is in it.

Crowner?

Crowner.

Personally, I especially dislike 3.2 for the asymmetry. Not just for aesthetic reasons, but because it makes the fight look more one-sided than it actually is. (Not that Obi-Wan didn't eventually win, but it wasn't that one sided.)

EDIT: Could any of the 4 who voted for it address this, please?

Votes bump; only one in the green ATM.

I've a feeling the width of the crop and zoomed-out nature of 3.3 is why people voted against it. Here's a narrower crop for comparison. Worth adding to the crowner or no?

Calling. The new pic's up and tagged; caption?

Old pic:

"You were The Chosen One! It was said you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in darkness!"

The epic duel of the century; 22 years in the making.
"We fought. Your father fell into a molten pit"
Battle of the Heroes
The circle is now complete.

I'd go for the second one if spoilers aren't a problem. If they are a a problem, I'd go for the fourth one.
