The space battle at the end does feel like old school Star Wars though.
You mean the part where the 5 year old takes out an entire armada of ships with his nifty spinning trick? It’s a juvenile film that would be tolerable as a juvenile film without Jar Jar and the Gungans. Those guys just make it entirely unwatchable.
Gonna have to agree with you here. The lightsaber battle was the best thing of this part—it is pretty nifty.
I disagree.
Watch the video. Not only is the “fight” more like a dance but the choreography doesn’t make any sense. Say what you will about the OT duels but at least the choreography in ESB and ROTJ were actually reminiscent of people fighting. And that goes doubly for TFA.
I would say that applies a lot more to ep. II and III. The OT duels feel like real fighting, TPM feel like slightly exaggerated fighting, and AOTC and ROTS just feel like glow-stick ballets.
This feels a heck of a lot more genuine than this.
(I mean seriously, what the heck are they doing in the ROTS click? At least in the TPM fight you feel like Obi-Wan wants ro actually hurt Maul rather than just showing off his lightsaber swirling skills. I especially like his little blind swipe at Maul as he runs away. That feel very genuine too me.)
To a certain extent I agree with you due to the entire Mustafar Fight taking the principles in the Duel of The Fates at taking them to the highest extreme possible.

I still like it, so I reiterate:
I disagree.
It’s still pretty to look at I guess but that’s all I’ll give it.
