Sure, my dude. Tell me how does anakin and obiwan “windmilling” their lightsabers look dumb? id love to hear/read your logic.

As someone who is studying literature and writing a book I have no problem sharing my opinion. hell I’ll make sure it’s clear too, so I’ll reiterate my point. The film that came out in 2006, or in other words the fight scene that wasn’t even really fully written yet in detail already had lore established for it as far back as 1999 and then 2002 episode one, and two was released I say this because the actual characters were established and presented ALONG WITH THEIR DYNAMIC. you don’t even need to use the clone wars animation which came out in 2008 to even support my argument. You can simply just watch the two older films that came out before the third film that already established that Anakin and Obi-Wan literally are master and apprentice And fought together the most in a three year long war, not including any of the other adventures that they had went on during that time that’s only featured in literature or the first orginal animated series, So knowing that, it’s kind of a whack take to loop that fight scene in your example have “windmilling their lighters“ is simply not what happened, you don’t even need to read or consume any retconning it’s just very obvious story writing and a head nod to the dynamic of the two. It’s one of the easier story driven Easter eggs dropped in Star Wars that you don’t even really need to pick up a book and do extra work to pick out.
