Which do you prefer the Prequals or the Disney trilogy?

[Hector]

Yup, lol...

I’m well aware of all that. But I also dig the martial arts aspect of the Darth Mall one. Both are awesome in my book. Yes, different, but both awesome in different ways.

I agree. It also makes perfect sense that different Jedi/Sith would employ different fighting styles. For instance, Kit Fisto with his head tendrils flopping around shouldn't really be doing flips. Otherwise he's liable to slice part of his own head off...LOL

When Disney puts out a clunker, it is like eating crap fast food... at best, forgettable; at worst, you hate yourself for it... but at least it is edible. The prequels may be a more ambitious menu, but a lot of it isn't even edible.

It shows there's difference in style and tone. The Rogue one light sabre battle was in the style of the original trilogy. But they could have just easy gone prequel style and had Vader moving faster and spinning around. But they went with original trilogy style. Slower, precise, and deliberate. Powerful not showy.

[Hector]

...and I already pointed out that I like Rogue One...so I have no problem with that scene being superior.

I said the Disney Trilogy sucks, not Rogue One.

[Hector]

Vader in Rogue One is awesome, but that’s not a duel, that’s a massacre, lol.

[Werewolf]

Compare duel of fates to Vader's scene in Rogue one. No jumping or twirling. Slow, powerful, menacing, unstoppable. Gives you chills. I'm not saying duel of fates is terrible or anything. But I think it is definitely made better than it is by John Williams score.

[Hector]

The Yoda one was comical though, agreed.

[Hector]

It saves the battle, lol.

You are making it seem like the Darth Maul scene was crappy or something. It’s an awesome martial arts/Kendo take on it, different than the others, yes...but awesome nevertheless.

We agree on the score...haunting, majestic...and beautiful.

[Werewolf]

I particularly dislike the scene with Yoda flipping all around Dooku in their duel.

That is more comical than cool.

I think what helps duel of fates is John William's tremendous score. It saves the battle.

[CrimsonGhost]

I think the duel of fates battle is a little too twirly.

In the original trilogy light sabers were supposed to be heavy and took great strength and concentration to wield them. It was like fighting with medieval broadswords. Powerful heavy weapons were every strike mattered and there was no wasted motion or energy. More like fighting with Conan's massive Atlantean sword than a Katana or fencing sword.

The newer battles were more visually exciting but lacked power and emotion of the original trilogy ones, in my opinion.

I agree 100%. I particularly dislike the scene with Yoda flipping all around Dooku in their duel. Would Yoda even bother having a lightsaber? It’s like The Flash using a car.

The Vader/Kenobi duel at the end of New Hope may have lacked the action of later scenes, but had so much emotion that it’s my favorite.

[DaniellePlaysWithToys]

Both, but the Sequel Trilogy has Finn, so...

I haven’t seen Rise of Skywalker. I’m sure it’s more of the same.
