Visually and musically, this was the first real 'wow' moment of Episode 1, and it was achingly brief.
A lightsaber duel in broad daylight, outdoors, was something we had never seen before (although Luke had used his above the Sarlaac pit).
John Williams scored the action with Qui-Gon's theme, saving the iconic 'Duel of the Fates' for later.
The scene ends with a low-key but important introduction.
