Compared to the OT, I'd say the dueling scenes were pretty good lmao. Reflects how force users should fight much better which is normal given there is 22 years of technological difference in their shooting. And its more about the Sidious factor anyway lol.

You can't be serious. Anakin vs. Kenobi was awesome. Sidious vs. Yoda was awesome in its own way. I even liked the Anakin vs. Dooku battle at the beginning. The only one I found to be lacking was the Windu/Palpatine one.
I've already said I enjoyed Palpatine vs Yoda. But nah, Anakin vs Kenobi was terrible. It’s far too long and is full of ridiculous sequences like when they are battling when they are climbing that pillar, or when they are swinging like Tarzan, or that terrible ending.
And of course there is this:

The duels has a good start but quickly descends into mediocrity.

I will agree it went on for too long. The beginning of their duel and the brief build up of emotion was the best part. I fully believe in the brevity of fights. Take for instance Voldemort vs. Dumbledore in ootp. Very brief but exquisite and breathtaking. The Khan/Klingon scene was also brief and simple divinity given to us mortals in cinematic form. If the battles do go on for too long they turn into Lotr drawn out and boring battles. I can actually see where you are coming from but Rots is still the best film to date. I didn't much care for the duel in esb.
I was referring to cinematic presentations of battles, but you immediately jump to Khan vs Palpatine? I feel like you're obsessed with the subject. Is there anything you'd like to tell us, Quan? Does Palpatine make you feel inadequate?

Well, the Klingon battle was magic. It was also brief enough to not become repetitive and boring.
I like talking trash. In the same way in real life. As much as you hoped this was an act this is the glorious person that I am. Always sticking his chest out and just talking trash.
Nah, I just like proving Khan is superior to him. It's fun. Any chance I get I will do so. Imagine how sickening I'll be if Snoke or Kylo become some of my favorite Star Wars characters.
