If they decided to use the awesome cgi like they did with Tarkin and fixed all the boring slow lightsaber duels in the OT so they are on par with the prequels and sequels.
Especially Vader vs Ben in ANH. After the epic duel from ROTS that one kinda falls short now.
They could be the Super Special Editions.

That would be, and I mean this completely literally, the worst decision they could make. All 3 OT Lightsaber duels surpass the prequel ones because the focus wasn’t the choreography, it was the story. Messing thy up to add a bunch of meaningless action takes away from that
boring
From a certain, wrong point of view
slow
While accurate, no.
Especially Vader vs Ben in ANH. After the epic duel from ROTS that one kinda falls short now.
Breaking news, two old men, one a burned cripple in a suit and one decades out of practice, aren't expert dancers.
Also, the Vader/Ben fight from ANH has a lot of other things going on. Vader and Ben both know that Vader has the upper hand and can easily win. Vader is giving his old,master a little bit more respect.
It's 20 years after the acrobatic routine, they're not geriatric.
We see Vader tear it up at the end of Rogue One.
We see Yoda call on the force to augment his own physicality.
It's not even that they're old and out of practice, their feet are practically planted while they wiggle their sticks at each other.
Not that I agree with OP, but these are not great arguments.
Vader was left to die by Ben and hasn't seen him since. Of course he's cautious because he has no idea what Ben can still do. On the other hand Ben didn't want to win so he was just kinda chilling there so the real hope, Luke, could get away.

Nope, no matter how well they were done (and they wouldn't be) anything like that would stand out like a sore thumb in the middle of a classic film. I'm all for technology progressing in the upcoming films, but let the originals stand as they are.
You have bad taste
I always imagined that the duel in a new hope was fought more on a spiritual or psychological level. Does anyone else have that opinion?
Boo.
The OT Fights are much better

The duels from the prequels are lackluster and over-the-top lol
No.
