  1. Because they'd be dead if they fought like that. It's all flourishes and twirls and needless maneuvers. It's style over substance. The duel in Sith is the most anticlimactic confrontation in the Star Wars saga. It's horribly silly, and not once does it look like they're actually fighting against each other. There's no danger.
  2. Outside of the Maul fight in TPM, the prequel fights were overly choreographed and rather ridiculous. Basically two people twirling swords with no sense of threat or danger. The Awakens duel is fierce.
  3. Yeah, we'll have to agree to strongly disagree on your spoiler tagged bit. Driver has been universally lauded for his performance, and it's a brilliant start for the character. Easily the best and most dynamic villain we've seen on film this year.
  4. Yes. Some (not all) of the criticisms I'm seeing here are people missing (or misunderstanding) stuff in the film. Especially reddsun. Dude, stop playing on your phone during the movie and pay attention. If I have the time today I'll try to respond to some of these and maybe clarify a thing or two.
  5. We don't know that, Keith. Plus, JJ and Kasdan were pretty open about disregarding the rules laid out in the prequels, and sticking with the feel of the Force in the original movies.
  6. I am going to address this again because there continues to be a fundamental misunderstanding about what the Resistance is and how it operates in this thread. The Resistance is NOT the Republic. It is a private, paramilitary group whose actions violate a 30-year old treaty between the New Republic and the remaining Imperial Forces. They are essentially a guerrilla group that operates outside the law. Any funding and support they get is under the table, and they do not enjoy wide-spread support throughout the Republic. They don't have capital ships, and they don't have A-Wings and B-Wings and what have you. They have their base of operations, they have a few squadrons of the new X-Wings, and they have some smaller transport ships. That's it. Spoilers
