The lightsaber fights in the original trilogy are slow and lack complexity. The battle between Obi-Wan and Vader in A New Hope feels more like a cautious duel than a clash of masters. While impactful at the time, these scenes now seem tame compared to the intricate choreography seen in the prequels and newer shows. If the original fights had been more dynamic, they could have set a stronger precedent for future duels. Instead, the action feels restrained, reducing the sense of danger in key moments.
