Not gonna lie, but I actually liked Darth Maul better than young darth vader. Count Dooku was cool with his curved lightsaber. The Old darth vader was cool as a villian, and is considered the all time greatest villian, but he couldn't entertain a lightsaber fight/move around like Darth Maul could.

I think the original trilogy lightsabre fights are more entertaining like
This Guy says, even though some of his humor is... not sure how to put it.
The original trilogy lightsaber duels have more going on with them. In the first movie, Vader wasn't just trying to kill Obi-Wan, but prove he had replaced Obi Wan as master. Obi-Wan tried to be a distraction to let Luke and his comrades escape with the Death Star plans. Both fail: Obi Wan surpassed Vader by becoming one with the Force. And Vader WANTED the good guys to escape and go straight to the Rebel's hidden base.
Second movie, Vader was toying with Luke, trying to corner and convert Luke rather than kill him. Luke was trying to save his friends and avenge Obi Wan. Again, the fight didn't turn out the way either hoped. Vader lost Luke. Luke got his *** kicked, while his friends made their own escape and rescued HIM.
Third movie, Luke tries to save Vader and beat the Emperor. Not sure what Vader was doing other being forced to duel by the Emperor. The Emperor wanted Luke turned to the Dark Side and taking his father's place. Luke wins this fight, with Vader's help.
Compare that to the prequel fights. First movie, Maul tries to lead the Jedi away and separate them, so he can kill them and stop Amidala and company. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan try to beat Maul. There's just not the same emotional investment in this fight, nor the others, IMO. The last duel in the prequels, between Obi-Wan and Anakin, just wasn't as compelling to me.
/geek mode off.
