Remastered Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Darth Vader

While the fight itself was fine, my problem is that it doesn't really fit with these characters. As people said, thematically speaking, Kenobi and Vader are meant to be shadows of their more youthful and healthy selfs. The cheoreography doesn't really fit that. Moreover, Vader seems way too spritely for what his typical fighting style encompasses. It doesn't bother me as much with Kenobi since we have examples of older people managing great feats of agility e.g. Dooku, and him being like that suits him, but not so much with Vader.

That style is exactly how they describe Vader in the books. Strong slow but dexterous and able to make up for his suits limitation
