If you are going to use sound in the lightsaber fights, how about using the original clashing sounds from the original trilogy

Yes.

I wouldnt suggest that...

Apart the fact that many tried it and all failed hard putting a choreographed sound design/mix that were for specific shots/moves and timing, to a complete different enviroment you have to calculate all the rest elements.

I wouldnt mind tho have some sound design present but heavily muffled so the music or the dialogue from vader takes place.

EDIT: Revenge of the Cut had some pretty solid sound design considering the swings and the hums (minus the saber clash sounds). The cutter prove that a bold sound desinger knows where to put what considering the music and ambient and how all these can tie together without being destracting or anoying..

Spence i suggest to seek the clips and take references or ideas :)
