It is still lame though. I would have preferred to just see dudes in regular clothing armed with regular swords and slug throwers, using force pushes and shit.

Jedi are based on knights. Apart from both having swords there is absolutely no relation to Samurai, unless we talk about spiritual side. Just simple fact that Samurai sword is single edged already makes huge difference.
The lightsaber dueling choreography in the original trilogy was based off of Kendo. And most of the dueling style in the PT is based off a conglomeration of eastern martial arts styles.
Please, stop.

It was a blend of the two. Samurai fighting style with Eastern mysticism (Tao), with European knightly orders. A lot of the saber style of the PT resembles western swordplay.

Kendo? 0_o The one, where the logic is loose arm or finger but kill your enemy?
Just re-watched Luke vs Vader fight nothing even distinctively reminding about Samurai fight. The very fundamental rule is that in Kendo or other similar style with Katana you vertically rise sword up and slash down. If you want to strike sideways, you still rise vertically up and redirect at the last moment to avoid predictability. What I see in original trilogy is exactly same fight as in any films about knights.
