It becomes a point of just how far can you suspend your disbelief? I would relate it to jumping ability of the Jedi. In ESB & ROTJ, we see that Luke, as he progresses in his jedi training, gains the ability to jump higher, farther, and faster than normal humans. He has become superhuman. But it's not "MILES" farther... It's enough to clearly be beyond the ability of real people, but not so much that it becomes totally unbelievable. Cut to the prequels where we now have Jedi jumping like frogs so far and high that it becomes utterly laughable. They pushed the boundaries too far & it results in destroying the credibility of anything on screen. I submit that the sword fights suffer the same problem.

I don't see a real difference.

In ESB Luke does a super high-speed jump straight up 20 ft (and at that speed would have gone considerably higher). In ROTJ he does a standing graceful backflip onto a gantry fifteen feet up and behind him. How is that not "totally unbelievable?"

It's plain from the OT films that these jumps are one of a Jedi's abilities. I don't see any Jedi jumps in the PT that is of any big degree greater than Luke's leaps, unless the objection is really to the SFX tech being used to pull it off.
