you got to look at it from the real world and what order/when these movies were released
Lucas speeded up the Jedi moves in the PT to keep up with kids weened on The MATRIX etc
back in the day Luke doing a couple of flips in ESB and ROTJ was as fast as it gottheres no abandoning moves
the zipping about of Qui Gon,Anakin,Obi etc in the PT is an afterthought to keep the kiddies interestedalthough its now seen as the way things are in the SW movie universe that the Jedi were zippy and consisted of every alien race featured in the OT not all of us have to like it
damn PT
The whole PT, IMO, was, whether Lucas consciously knows it or not, a way to make money. And to do that, he had to give today's audience the action, flashiness and stupidity they so need to keep the goo in their heads.
Whereas the more intelligent audiences of the 70's and 80's didn't need fast-paced, heart-exploding, seizure-inducing graphics to keep them entertained. All they needed was a well-paced ice-breaker to ease the tension of a possible nuclear attack by the Reds.
