Yes, the metal bikini is great, and I do enjoy the swashbuckling action towards the end.  But since you bring it up, something that's always bothered me is how seemingly tame it is.  My girlfriend and I recently had an OT viewing session, and we both agreed and laughed over how useless Luke's lightsaber was!  He was killing people left and right, knocking them into the sarlaac pit and slashing through people... yet there was absolutely no dismemberment at all!  It was almost as if he was hitting people with a baseball bat.  He'd hit people with this blade of light that can cut through anything, and they'd just be knocked backwards!  I mean, I know if they'd shown Luke slicing body parts off of dozens of extras, they'd probably have gotten an R rating, but it's just so silly at the same time!
