What I also remember as a kid about the OT was when Luke faces Vader in ESB there was this air of suspense in that duel because Vader felt like the boogeyman that would pop out of nowhere from the dark and started slashing. Nowadays it's all about spectacle and flashy moves which I have nothing against when done well.
Also the green lightsaber Luke had in ROTJ felt as what I would say as the costume upgrade/power up to beat the bad guy by today's standards of superhero movies.
