Wow...the original completely sucks compared to the reimagined one. It's actually pretty boring.

Mir bleibt die Spucke weg. Panzermeyer, this is one of those times when the expression "amazing" is not over-used. This made me go into the German language, so here is a translation: https://www.dict.cc/?s=Mir+bleibt+die+Spucke+weg
The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

Imagine if you will holding in your hand three feet of pure plasma, a confined stream of gas in liquid form that is hotter than The Sun. If it touches you, you burn. It will slice through anything, and can melt the thick blast doors made of metal when shoved into it into molten goo (Episode I, also the Expanded Universe). It will cut off limbs effortlessly, and the shock of it will kill nearly instantly if one is impaled nearly anywhere.
Are you going to start flipping all around and swinging with abandon, or are you going to be very cautious, probing with it, looking for a moment to get that one strike (which is all it will take to serious injure or kill your opponent), all the while being very defensive?
The Darth Vader/Obiwan fight is probably the most realistic of all the light saber duels.
The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events. More dumb stuff at http://www.darts-page.comFrom Laser: "The forum is the place where combat (real time) flight simulator fans come to play turn based strategy combat."

The Red Letter Media analysis makes some good points, but they also miss some too, I think. For the Anakin/Obiwan fight at the end of Episode III, we all knew what would end up happening, so that depth wasn't really necessary, and since we knew the outcome, and expected it to be a difficult fight, I think the effects and length of it were more about meeting expectations people had for a long time than revealing anything new about the characters.
Also, I think that Jedi had been made out to be bad-asses, so showing the fighting in Episode 1, when they were at their height, seemed appropriate, and again, I think it meets people's expectations.
There are lots of things wrong with the Star Wars movies, but I don't really feel those fight scenes were among them.
