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.
Although in retrospect it seems like that was the intent, I'm sure it had more to do with the fight being between a 63 year old man and a guy wearing a suit made of metal and car upholstery
