Topic: Why is the Anakin v. Obi-Wan fight scene hated?

This felt like one of the best parts of the entire prequel trilogy. This was the money shot. The whole of three subjectively bad films lead up to that moment. Anakin finally turned to the dark side and his former friend as well as brother had to desperately try to pull him back to the light while trying to convince himself that he may have to kill him. Sure, there were dumb moments like the spinning lightsaber trick where there was no clash until the end, but this was still a solid fight with lots of emotion.
This remains one of my all time favorite Star Wars scenes because of that emotional build up which even got enhanced due to "The Clone Wars" animated series, both of them. The Yoda vs. Sidious showdown wasn't anything special unless you watched the animated series.
I do not understand why this particular scene is hated compared to everything else.

It is what George Lucas wanted all the lightsaber battles to be like in the first place they just did not have the technology at the time.

The part Obi-Wan kicks Anakin off a cliff while shouting "I. HAVE HAD. ENOUGH. OF YOU!" probably goes a bit too far against Roddenberry's ideals for most fans.

@previous (Big Daddy Derek !Uvm54ORbmo)Is life experience a 15 minute drive from the elementary school where you park your window-less van?

My favorite scene in the entire Star Wars saga is the one where Han Solo starts a fight in a bar full of Empire sympathizers, and the fight ends up spilling outside and just as Han and Leia are about to get shot, the Millennium Falcon comes up over the cliff behind them and then Chewbacca threatens to blow a new crater in their little moon, so all the Empirefags shit their pants and run back inside because they don't know transport ships aren't even armed. Thanks.

TBH, I thought the confrontation between Yoda and Palpatine was much better.

Glad you made this thread, OP. I agree, and it gives me a reason to drop this here. Thanks.
