A couple of the lightsaber duels

None of the lightsaber duels were any good.

If so then all of the duels in the OT were utter garbage…

No, they weren’t. Regardless of story, the OT duels were designed like real sword duels, while the PT duels were ballets. They weren’t fighting how real sword masters would fight. The “styles” exercised had so many wholes in them you can hardly count. The OT duels were choreographed by a swordplay expert, to look like real sword fights. Even Vader was played by Bob Anderson for all of his stunts in ESB and ROTJ. So he was actually sword fighting. He also personally trained Mark Hamill for the sequels. I can definitely forgive Ben’s awkward spin when comparing it to the PT duels.
