Right, when he never had a reason to move fast. When practically toying with Luke and actually fighting without ostentacious footwork in ROTJ.
Vader's never been slow, he moves at a completely normal pace and can break it down when he needs to. And if this be by the movies, then Vader wins by existing.
Then pick an in-universe explanation...they preferred to conserve energy, they preferred a slow fight, whatever. Vader moves fast in the EU. Therefore he can move fast. Vader moves fast when butchering accomplished Jedi masters. Therefore, he can move fast.
And the creator of Star Wars changing his mind on things? THAT'S never happened before.

Point's still moot as against Luke he didn't need to move fast. And since he walked away from the first fight and Obi-wan died, the point is just as moot. We still see him moving fast in the EU
It still doesn't override the movie, nor is your explanation sufficient.

A) Read Purge.
B) Read Rise of Darth Vader.I'm sure there're other comics, such as Crimson Empire, that also credit Vader's speed.
I have read RODV. Infact, I was probably the first guy on the forum to do so (finished it six hours after it first came out).
And they still don't override that fast that he is slow in the movies. Furthermore, Vader considered himself clumsy in RODV.
