    I honestly prefer that. The original trilogy had unfancy battles, but every swing seemed important. They all felt like they could be a killing blow and it made the fights exciting. The prequel fights are too fast. They became strobe light shows and it made them boring because there was nothing to follow.

      As I see it, each opponent wields a saber according to their strength, style, and teaching. Several characters in the OT and those approaching or thereafter that timeline carry a light saber more like a heavy 2-handed sword. It was the style at the time, which is why I was wearing an onion on my belt.
