Looks lifeless and not interesting at all. Was the red lightsaber supposed to be a “badass holy shite!” moment? Pathetic

I'm even passed the point hating on the woke. That's too easy. It's the stuff like this that's blatantly bad now.

If you compare Lucasfilm and Disney's SW, you can almost see that there's no depth or attention to detail.

Watch the lightsaber scene on Mustafar in RotS. You can tell that it's more than just a fight. Each move was thought out and had weight behind it to convey the story (newly named Vader being intensely aggressive/Obi Wan doing everything to not kill his friend/both using the same moves because of their teacher-student relationship). The actors probably spent weeks perfecting the moves.

Then watch this trailer or any fight they've put out recently. It's almost like the actors were told to just swing at each other and it feels like you can almost literally see the pulleys being using during flips, jumps, etc. Few, if any of the actors look the least bit athletic.
