Originally posted by DaveB View PostMakes me think they might be going for a more medieval feel to combat with a light sabre. Less finesse, more brute force.
In the prequels, you see the Jedi just past their peak - when it comes to it, the fight between Yoda and the Emperor ends with Yoda having to run away because he concedes that the fighting style that the Jedi are used to is no match for the Sith.
In the originals, the only people who know anything about how to fight are an old man and a half-machine (OK, more machine than human) - and neither have needed to fight for a while. That leaves Luke to develop his own style, which is better than his father's, but wouldn't be a match for someone from the prequels who was trained in the different fighting styles.
So, if there is no-one left to teach how to do it, then brute force to win would make sense.
(There may be someone who can teach it, I've not read any of the books that deal with anything happening after the fall of the Emperor and Vader)Comment

Daft idea.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
