Odd though this may sound, I think it would have worked better if you didn't have to cut between the three strands of plot in that part of the film. Duel of the Fates is meant to be really engaging, but I'm thrown off by the pacing of the cuts between it, the race to the throne room, and the space battle. Straight-up flair works best uninterrupted like that.
I like it but that's my one complaint.
I agree, the fight between Vader and Luke in Jedi was chopped up and it has always been really obnoxious to keep cutting back and forth between that, Ewoks, and Lando since in my opinion that duel is the most emotional one in the series. This problem obviously got much worse in the Phantom Menace, which deflated the excitement of the duel.
