1) Look at the saber fighting styles in Epp one and two. Now, look at how Vader fights. Any old school Jedi would have kicked his cyborg ass across the Death Star without breaking a sweat. The only reason ObiWan didn't was because he was stalling for time, and didn't intend to win.
2) He got beaten by a half-trained punk that only thought he was a Jedi. In Epp One, you discover that they train for many, many years to become Jedi. Luke's training consisted of "move this, feel that, and don't stick your saber up your ass". Yet Luke, poorly trained as he was, still managed to beat Vader. Lopped his hand off, and had an easy shot at a kill.
3) Vader had an off switch. All those buttons and controls on his chest, why didn't Luke ever think to just turn him off?

And I have often discussed Maul Vs. Vader. I always say Vader would come out on top because, although Maul's got the saber technique down, Vader has SO much more refined force control.

Dude you drawing way to much from the movie. There is a real world reason why the fights and fighting style are diffrent. In episode 4, 5, 6 they used a fencing style for the saber fights. But in the newer ones they have been using a Martial arts style. [ 05-07-2002: Message edited by: Pyscho_Pike ]
The Martial Arts-based Saber fights are good, and decent (and are enhancedby new technology), but I like the way they moved with the fencing more... Might just be me.
The problem with fencing though, is that it's widely a piercing style, with thrusts, where as a lightsaber merely needs to touch the opponent.... So you can use things like Slashing manuevers...
look at Palpatine if Vadar was THAT evil nothing could stop him
Vadar could whoop darth mauls ass though (wimp)
As for Luke's training, he wasnt poorly trained. He was under Yoda dude.... YODA!

YAES!
1. The Punk:
He's in it for the short route, the fast power. He's got some talent, make no mistake, but he's an upstart. He's a foot soldier, the special agent. He can kick some ass and take some names, but ultimately he's limited by his motives.
2. The Evil Fucking Bastard:
This is the guy you never see coming. Could he whup your ass with a lightsaber? Probably. Could he blast you with force lightning? Hell Yeah. Could he strangle you with a thought? Oh yes. But he doesn't. He's far too intelligent and patient for that. Because by the time you know he's there, he's stacked the deck against you and has a doomsday device aimed at your planet. Palpatine falls into this category.
3. The Fallen Paladin:
There's a cliche that goes "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" and it's true. From the soaring heights of heroism, you can fall a horrific distance. Knowing how good things can be, and yet having the fatal flaw of questioning one's instinct will lead you astray every time. And dealing with you is hell, because at the crucial moment, a person can never truly be certain if you'll swing one way or another, and because of that you are always the wild card, to foe and friend alike. Vader fits this category.
Thrawn, on the other hand, didn't have to worry about using the force himself. He was just the galaxy's greatest strategist (just. ha.)

Reyolen attempted to be funny by writing:
I'm also quite sure Vader was stronger when he was in his prime....
Remember, he has to hunt down all of the Jedi soon after he turns to the darkside. And if they all kick-ass like Obi and Qui-Dead did, it should be pretty good.Now here's a question, why is it that Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon couldn't take out Maul, but Obi-Wan himself could? Dark Side right?
mmmhmm...Then why do they say the Light Side is stronger? Luke and Obi-Wan were only able to defeat their foes using the Dark Side.

There was much rejoicing when Black Mage said this:

Did not know that, thought it was a coincidence.

Black Mage impressed everyone with:

Yeah, there's that, too.
He had to seperate them to fight them one-on-one if he hoped to beat them, otherwise he would eventually fall to the two's combined efforts.
Damn...that hurt to type... >_<
He strangled that guy while just sitting in his little toilet-rumpus room, where he likes to be naked and FREE!
Vader also likes abbreviations like this:
Soldier: What can I get you, Lord Vader?
Vader: Get me some tea. ASAP. *stiffled laughter* Erm... *more stiffled laughter* You need to go now... *laughter*
Vader was also like fifty BAJULLION YEARS OLD and Luke was like 'Fuck! You are my Dad and kicked by ass! I look like such a Weenie'
So here, from knowing both Isis and Vader and while, is how it would go.
Vader: Impudent girl. Do you not understand my vast ability to control the Force
Isis: *pause* I play a rogue on EQ *attempts to tackle hug Vader*
Vader: Fool. *Force Pushes Isis into a wall*
Isis: WTF! Ow! *throws he giant 12 inch heel at Vader*
Vader: *Grabs the shoe* No more games. Extend your hand, so I may give you a warning.
Isis: Good night, Vader. *Isis Pandoria has logged off Instant Messanger (5:34 PM)
Vader: What the hell?
Somewhere in Brunswick, Maine...
Isis goes to watch a special on Mariah Carrey, singing along and all that jazz, when...
*DING DONG*
Isis: OMG! It's Snoota coming with his communist army! Yay!
Isis goes to answer the door, to see: Vader.
Vader: Now, it is time. *extends his lightsaber*
Isis: Oh my GOD! Lemme get my brother and everyone! This is so-*choking sounds*
Vader: *sigh* Way too easy...*disembowls her via lightsaber*
Vader: Come on boys! *Storm Troopers come out and everyone dances the 'French Mistake'
Elsewhere...
Snoota: Vell now, men? I've decided to become the first, Russian Jedi! I will use the Force to get us MORE VODKA and to push old women in cold Russian snow! Ha HA!
A thousand Commies cheer and suck at their bottles of Vodka.
THE END!
I have no life...

Vader(Ok.. Anakin) Dual wields sabers in EPII, as we've seen in several clips. Point Vader.
Also, the "explained away" reasoning put forth by a few sources are as such:
1) Obi Wan was an old man in ANH, and Vader is more machine than man. Both = no nimble leaps and hops.
2) Luke, while strong in the Force IS a n00b. He lacks the finesse of a longtime trained vet and was also rushed through training.
