Well, certainly the music didn't jive with the pacing all the time, but the footage was very good. Certainly, you can tell a few things about the Luke versus Vader fights:
1. Luke overextended himself every time he fought Vader at more than a few paces. Vader was one-handing it.
2. When Vader used two hands, Luke was fucked beyond the telling of it.
3. When Luke goes apeshit in RotJ, all Vader had to do was backstep the first attack and lunge. KO.
4. The final battle was so obviously thrown by Vader. The guy took a spill that professional WWE wrestlers would laugh at.
5. Luke's main strength is in his agility and in-close dexterity. This is about it. Otherwise, he's like Mini-Me versus Andre the Giant.

Actually, Luke has a lot of physical strength by ROTJ. He defeated Guri in unarmed combat and Guri is the kind of droid that throws people over her head with one hand. I'd be impressed if Chewie had beaten her. Anyway, I'm not looking to argue ROTJ Luke with you again, it always goes no where.
Cool video.

Vader attempts to regain his power composture in the ROTJ footage and fails. Luke's tempo just rises and he applies an overall better set finesse, stamina and dexterity to his attacks during the end which basically threw Vader into an inevitable submission.

1. Luke overextended himself every time he fought Vader at more than a few paces. Vader was one-handing it.
Agreed, Vader was checking his watch/cooking dinner while winning that part.
2. When Vader used two hands, Luke was fucked beyond the telling of it.
I love the intimdated look on Luke's face. He was basically out of it. He ducks under Vader, not even bothering to parry the attacks; he is just trying to get the hell away.
4. The final battle was so obviously thrown by Vader. The guy took a spill that professional WWE wrestlers would laugh at.
I agree, Luke pulled a TPM Kenobi at that moment. Vader obviously didn't want to kill his own son, but Luke was in a "beserker's rage" so he didn't care about killing his father.
Lets take the hypothotetical case, Luke was not Vader's boy. I am pretty sure Vader would have kicked his ass in that case.
