When fighting, it's wisest to stand defensively, and then make a quick offensive strike where your opponent is vulnerable. They leave their whole front side open with their blades in a position where it would in reality take too long to safely parry an attack.
TPM does have the worst pacing, but it still somehow does carry a closer to OT feel than the other two. That frustrates me. I'd love to see someone pull off the all-amazing-awe-inspiring-Antimatter trick of actually erasing Jar Jar from the picture. That would begin to work some wonders. Some dubbing would go a long way too.
