Right.  But I had been thinking that "Lightsaber Duel" would have to be
about *the* lightsaber duel on Naboo, not the minor skirmish on Tattoine.
Hence my confusion.

   Yeah, but were it the Naboo confrontation, wouldn't it have to be called a
"triel" (or a "tercel" if you prefer) and not a duel?  Duel, to me, implies two.
I did find it weird that they chose the Tatooine confrontation, but I welcome the
pieces that make up the vaporator most heartily...and it's even a pretty fair
approximation of the vaporators you see in the movie!

*Sigh*.  Yes, you're right.  If there were some way to determine the
result, I would bet money that TLG would still call a Naboo-confrontation
set a "duel".

Maybe they didn't want to do the triel because of the excessive violence.
And because they'd have to make a new minifig torso -- one with a hole in
the middle.
