I always like that the duel was mellow, because Star Wars was the movie introducing us to this amazing new universe. It didn't have to be big yet, that could be saved to get bigger for the latter instalments. The music added a little bit extra kick to it, and IMO just the right amount for a special edition of the movie.

That said, I still feel like revisited shouldn't bother trying to make the order viewable in 1,2,3,4,5,6 as SW (or ANH, I guess) is simply the intro film, and I don't think you can change that, no matter how much you "fix" the prequels. SW explained the force, the lightsabers, and everything else to provide you with basic understanding. Now, I do think TPM could very well be changed to be made to introduce concepts to us, but unless more radical edits are applied, I find it too jarring to watch in chronological order, beyond the fact that the prequels are so obviously made after the OT production-wise, unless that's being planned to change also.
