Another ill thing in that AOTC saber duel sequence - the movements in the close-ups of Anakin & Dooku do not match at all from shot-to-shot.  I'm also not impressed with the digital pasting of Christopher Lee's face onto the stunt double.  Obviously, watching the film at normal speed you wouldn't much notice these things.  Yet, you examine the scene closely, and these issues become clearly apparent.  It's amazing how they continue to have technical issues when they can fix practically every single one of them.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Ben Burt oughtta be embarrassed at how poorly he edited that Anakin-Dooku duel.  It's amateurish.  How do you fuck up the editing of a well-rehearsed choreographed fight?
