Star Wars fans have had almost a week to process the season finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi. If you still haven’t watched episode 6 here’s your SPOLER WARNING!

While not everyone loved the series, most agree one of the highlights of the season was the big showdown 20 years in the making between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader — and if you still haven’t see it trust me, it did not disappoint. Now, one devoted fan has re-scored the rematch between Master Kenobi and his former apprentice with music from the soundtrack the legendary John Williams composed for Revenge of the Sith.

YouTuber, CineVore recut the duel using a number of well-known tracks from the 2005 movie, including “Battle of the Heroes,” the piece of the score that played during the duo’s iconic duel on Mustafar. I don’t know about you, but with Williams’ score playing underneath it makes the latest match up even more epic. Check it out below!

While Obi-Wan Kenobi's main theme was written by the legendary John Williams, the series was composed by Natalie Holt, the first woman to compose a live-action Star Wars television series or film. Holt’s work throughout the series was consistently outstanding, both with her original themes and motifs, and the references to some of William’s previous Star Wars themes like “The Imperial March” and “Princess Leia’s Theme.”

You can stream all six episodes Obi-Wan Kenobi now on Disney+.
