I imagine so.  Just shooting out ideas.  And I always hated Obi-Wan spinning in ANH, even as a 6 year-old watching some old dude pointlessly spinning.  It's interesting however that overall his style is conservative and respectable in spite of its slower appearance.  In reality his defensive style is wise.  But in the end probably not too much can be done to make it all the same.  If someone with great CGI skills simply kept Kenobi better planted, that would almost do it all for me.  But to add to it, if we simply saw different, more OT type fighting from Dooku and from the lesser known characters, that would help.  Cutting Palpatine's jumps also would be a good thing, now that I'm thinking of it.  I know the Yoda fights are not terribly popular, but I don't know if it could be fixed in a respectable manner.  Some edits have removed them, but I've not yet watched them to see how it flows.  It seems like it could be lacking without it.  Perhaps some incredible CGI skills could show only the force fighting and add a couple of things.  I dunno.  Oh!  And one final irritation  about the fighting: during the dumb faceoff pose that Dooku and Anakin give each other, why on earth would they stand a foot apart and both hold their lightsabers behind their backs!?

Palp's jumps should definately be cut if only because they look incredibly fake. As for Dooku's fighting style, I always thought he was more of an OT fighter then most, so I guess that's a matter of personal preference.

And Yoda's fights are honestly unfixable IMO. I've tried slowing them down, and editing them so that he never leaves the position he's in (kind of to show that he doesn't need to attack and instead chooses only to defend.) but it just doesn't work. To much of the fight involves him off the ground.

And during which Dooku v. Anakin fight are you referring to when they give the dumb face-off pose?
