I'm currently working through Storm of Swords. A Song of Ice and Fire is my current obsession.
And Karpyshyn is probably tired of his work being overdone. His original invention was neat and fun, and it's been dragged out over a span of years.
His Bane stuff was more enjoyable.
'I completely disagree with the OP. Lightsabers are deadly weapons that require presicion to use. What looks like dancing is actually years of training in play.'
While I respect the disagreements, and totally understand your point of view, they're swords nonetheless. I'm just giving my opinion based on years of using swords professionally. The Mustafar duel goes into the realm of pure nonsense, Force-user or no, there are established laws in swordplay. I've studied the Seven Forms of lightsaber combat extensively (I myself fight with Makashi),, and they're all built and based upon real forms of swordsmanship.
Best thing post I've found on SWTOR Community. I couldn't stop laughing.

And this. ROTS Anakin (Not whiny Emo-Vader) > Bane, apparently.

It's all stage-swordfighting, and the seven forms are different styles of stage swordfighting.
