I find it kinda silly that people need to justify the differences in fighting between this and Episode 4. For me it just boils down to the fact that it was made nearly 40 years ago and the props were mechanically spinning devices that were very fragile and had to point towards the camera at the correct angle (George attempted to do the lightsaber effect in camera). Just look at Empire: the lightsaber fight is much more exciting since they were using solid “dumb” props.
