      I imagine that the motivation to not get beat up by the other guy with a metal stick improved each actor's performance. A few bruises can go a long way.

      @@rtb3232 WHO CARES ABOUT SUBSTANCE? Alright, then. Duel of the Fates is what determines what happens to anakin. Darth Maul is the reason anakin couldn't be trained by Qui-Gon, who was like a father to him. But since Qui-Gon dies, it's Obi-Wan who trains him. Obi-Wan is more like a brother to anakin than a father, so they bicker a lot. The Duel between Yoda and Count Dooku determines whether the clone wars becomes a thing, because if yoda would've killed Dooku, Palpatine would've had no one to actively be controlling the separatists so the clone wars either wouldn't happen, or they would've happened, and it would have ended much quicker. The Anakin and Count Dooku fight determines how anakin would react to mace windu trying to strike down Palpatine. The Anakin and Obi-Wan fight ends with either anakin burning or obi-wan getting killed by anakin. It ends in Anakin burning nearly to death, but Obi-Wan could've easily killed anakin and palpatine wouldn't have an apprentice to conquer the galaxy with, and it would've taken a long time for Palpatine to find Luke and/or Leia since they were hidden away from the emperor. And if Obi-Wan died, vader wouldn't have to live his life more machine than man, so he would be much more powerful than if he had to live behind the mask. Also, Obi-Wan wouldn't be able to take care of luke, so luke most likely wouldn't learn about the force because leia couldn't send the message to Obi-Wan because he isn't alive. You say the OT has much more meaningful fights but the fights of the Prequels are the reason everything in the OT. Not saying the OT doesn't have very meaningful fights, because they do carry a lot of weight. Just saying that the Prequel fights definitely do have weight behind them.

Then I started wondering what I've just read....

    Love this footage of all of them... Further proof of all the passion and hard work that was put into the prequels... That lightsaber dueling was an art, not sloppily flailing about.
    Also... I considered not typing this, but Ray has worked so hard for so many years just waiting to have a shot at coming back... It's none of our business really because it was stated by his wife that it was an accident/mistake... No intentional harm was done and the Twitter mob tried to make up a whole entire nasty story about him to try and cancel him... This won't be his end. His dedication and what he's brought to this character that no one else could is to be admired and respected. Time will heal things regardless... Has to.

    Who knew over 20 years later that Ewan McGregor would become known to so many people as THE definitive version of Obi-Wan Kenobi. He really nailed the role. He was the star of the prequels in terms of acting.
    It's cool that they let him choose his own lightsaber. I also like how George let Samuel L Jackson choose his own lightsaber color which was unique from everyone else. George resisted it at first, but it helped make Mace Windu into a unique character, which he was.

    I've heard, but am not sure (I never checked), that Ray Park has quite a bit of martial arts skill irl along with acrobatic skill irl. That's a perfect combo for an actor with little to none to train with. They're both learning their roles, but Park's prior skill can be used to help Ewan make his own act fighting look sharper even if they work on it one on one without the choreographers or the trainers around. The same thing for Qui Gon's actor (I just woke and can't think of it at the moment). So this was awesome to see.
