looks like Darth Vader is holding back for no reason whatsoever.
He’s holding back because the last time he fought Obi-Wan, things didn’t go very well for him. He was right to play it safe.
Well yes. Also in Empire Vader is fighting someone who has been practicing for a few months. If anything he is testing Luke’s potential so he is throwing all manner of fancy shapes at him. Vader in Jedi is more like Vader in Star Wars. He is cautious slow. His only flourish is throwing his sword to break the gantry. Luke is more like Vader in Empire during the Jedi fight. Because foreshadowing and because he has been doing this long enough now to have a false sense of security. I agree that the spin looks a bit awkward in Star Wars. sadly it looks like Jeremy Corbyn might be free in a few months. Maybe he could film some inserts 😂
