[@petermcgowan1705]

In the prequels, people swing the light sabres around effortlessly, which makes sense. In the sequels, it's as if light sabres suddenly became very heavy, or like you need to put in a lot of force for it to do any damage.

[@sorrenblitz805]

In the expanded media it is explained that lightsabers are actually hard to control. In the prequels there's a Jedi Order, training, in the sequels there's what Luke? Luke wasn't really ever that good with a Lightsaber in the original trilogy and since Disney doesn't like the Legends Canon he's not a God tier entity like he becomes in that media. So really just a lack of quality training leads to Jedi swinging big baseball bats made of light, much like a novice in actual HEMA would swing a sword like a bat. It's not really comparable. One time period has people with training and one time period there isn't really anyone around to do the teaching.

[@justacommenter]

Also, Kylo Ren's lightsaber and spinning just seems like a good way to stab your own forearm on the crossguard. It seems like the crossguard is to make up for his own lack of ability to use it on the level of a great Jedi

@@justacommenterLittle nerding out here, but Kylo’s lightsaber has those cross guards as a safety measure.

​@sorrenblitz805 you make a great point which I agree with, I've also found put recently that sabers aren't a solid beam like I always thought, the blade is much like a sword in that one side is sharp and the other is not and those properly trained know which is which, which is also why we see obi wan in the kenobi show battering people with his Saber like it's a bat and then turning around and slicing straight through others, so it's entirely possible that they are using the wrong side in the sequels cause they are not properly trained

I think we finally got to see a live action fight where Vader had to put in maximum effort in Kenobi. His first fight with Luke, he was toying with him, and in Return of the Jedi he was essentially past his prime and in a state of decay. With the scene 38 Reimagined video we sort of get something we'd expect to be a bit more realistic to the characters, but it is always possible that age and living on a desert planet really had caught up to Obi-Wan in the following 10 years, either way, as awesome of an edit it is, it isn't official. Then of course we have the fights between Vader and Ahsoka in Rebels, or with Starkiller in Force Unleashed back when that was a thing, but that last fight in Kenobi, THAT was Vader at his best! And we finally got to see it not in CGI!

I’d argue at the end of Vader and Luke’s fight he stops holding back. He uses both hands and absolutely hammers down on him.

[@chaseorosco9017]

No duel in Star Wars history has still come close to topping Obi Wan and Qui Gon vs Maul. One of the things that makes it especially intense is Obi Wan vs Maul. You see the intensity not just in Obi Wan's face, but his combat. He's emotional, he's angry. He jumps into the fight throwing away caution entirely; all he wants to do is take this guy's head off. I rarely ever see that in duels these days. Most of the time it's just a nostalgia trip. Everyone's cool and collected, and I think it ruins that human element that brings you into the scene. I miss the intensity of emotions expressed in the combat that you see in the Obi Wan vs Maul fight.

I like how the third time Obi-Wan fights Vader, there are rougher versions of the same combos they once trained together with, only with more aggression and less formality, showing the effects of years away from the Order, simultaneous with the "like it was yesterday" feelings of disappointment they both have in each other as "failed master" and "failed apprentice".

[@trunkz55]

I just realized the importance of the high ground. Darth Maul had the high ground and lost and im sure Obi-Wan told Anakin this so in ROTS Anakin tried to show is power despite Obi-Wan having the high ground. Trying to show he can overcome not having it just like Obi-Wan did vs maul. Interesting

[@wingedbluj1674]

Maul lost on Naboo because he didn't understand his advantage with the high ground.

Anyone notice that the Jedis' and Siths' lightsabers consistently make a different sound when turned on? Jedis' are an ascending, igniting sound, where Siths' are more of a descending hiss.

[@thesleepingpenny5239]

You know what I've realized after watching this? Lightsabers from the Prequels and Original Trilogy don't glow like they do now. I mean, sure, they have color, and are described as the bright swords that can cut through anything, but they didn't quite glow like they with the Sequels and more modern shows. They didn't bloom out onto the environment and actors, and they didn't light up a whole room. Working with LED and maybe even NEO sabers really do change up how the lightsaber works, it seems.

This is also because in ep 1 his lightsaber form was form 4 (Ataru) (same as Qui-Gon), very aggressive and with fast movements (drawback: quicker loss of stamina). Then after Qui-Gon's death he decided to switch to form 3 (Soresu), much more defensive. So that's also part of the reason why his moves are not as quick in ep 2-3 duels
