What are you talking about? I dig your answer. So it's none of the above. Like number 2 he's trying his best, but like number 1 he doesn't even know how he's doing? I can definitely see that. And I agree that he definitely cares. He just doesn't care about the star wars universe, he cares about pioneering and stuff. Which is why those of us who focus on the SW universe don't appreciate all the stuff he IS doing. Makes sense.

Anyway, I also agree with you on the lightsaber dueling. The old effects and stuff. And I think the dialogue between Vader and Obi or Vader and Luke make for a much more epic confrontation than the athleticism of the fight. Just another reason the old duels move me more than the new ones.
