Well, it wasn't the actors fault. They were trying to not clash blades at all, because they broke easily. By ESB, they could whack them and do some better fights, but the technology hamperred ANH's fight a great deal. People really need to get over this fight, and enjoy it, because its a piece of f**king movie history, show some respect dammit. Idiot kids.
Anyway, there's been a few finished pics of
Spoiler:
Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting on a platform that is just big enough to fit both of them on. As they fight, the platform gets swept along a lava river.
It could end up looking like a videogame. It looked so fake in the screenshots, and could look better or worse, when moving, but man I thought the whole idea of it was lame and too ambitious. It'll have to be done perfectly as to not look completely rediculous.
Put it this way, if Obi-Wan or Anakin do something super-hero like, or there's a really crappy and tacky bit (along the lines of Yodas kung fun action pose from Ep II), then I'm gonna definitely say it ain't as good as Luke vs Vader on Bespin.
Luke vs Vader has no low points, no tacky elements. It's dramatic, suspenseful, dark, emotional, confusing, and to be honest I like the fact it looks like they are actually fighting each other. Anakin vs Obi-Wan could have some superioir moments, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Put it this way, if I find any part of the fight to be lame or stupid it loses its chance to become number one fight with me. That section I mentioned could very well turn out to be embarrasingly video-game-like.
