To clarify my intent with that statement, I was merely pointing out that many have a problem with how the prequel choreography looks like a dance. This is particularly relevant in Duel of the Fates. If you were to slow down what they’re doing in TPM then you’d end up with the same problem that many of the sequel fight scenes have. Granted, there’s really no reason why they couldn’t have also sped things up in the sequel fights, particularly when it’s lightsaber v. lightsaber, except for the fact that Daisy and/or Adam clearly weren’t as invested as Hayden and Ewan in perfecting that stuff.
That being said, it makes sense that the Knights are attacking so slowly and deliberately because they have massive metal weapons. If you’ve ever held a heavy weapon before, you’ll know that once you go in for a swing it’s not like you can stop it super easily. Combine these two points I made and I really don’t see what the issue is.
