The lightsaber fight with the Praetor guards honestly seemed “Revenge of the Sith spinning lightsabers at each other” level.
The Praetor guards in the beginning kept spinning and running away from Rey and Kylo. When they did attack, they attacked in the same exact location in the same exact way (ex: overhead swing) and then scurried away when their attack was blocked. It was REALLY hilarious looking.
When the focus of the fight got onto them individually fighting the guards the choreography got better, but was still pretty wonky and hilarious (whip guy reeling in Rey, Rey swinging her lightsaber at nothing while Praetor guy just calmly walked up to her, etc)
