The second and third films of the original Star Wars trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, significantly raised the stakes with more dynamic action. The lightsaber battles between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader were much more emotionally powerful and complex than those in the first film. However, it wasn’t until years later, with advancements in filmmaking technology during the late 1990s digital revolution, that Lucasfilm could fully showcase the Jedi as the incredibly skilled warriors they were meant to be. This led to Jedi team-ups becoming a key feature of the Star Wars franchise, like Rey and Kylo Ren fighting together in The Last Jedi, or the impressive coordination between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith. But the most memorable Jedi team-up actually premiered 22 years after the original film, in The Phantom Menace.
