Awesome. The truer-to-form duel aside, it really captures Vader's anger.

To say nothing of their skills as Force-users.

Amazingly well done, I think it really conflicted with later displays of power by Vader on what he could do, so seeing something approximating what Jedi and Sith can do today is awesome.

I've never really been into the scene edits primarily because they're just so not what people would've done had the movie released then which is prety much why the cuts back to the actual film are so jarring. It's well done enough that it's not bad, but I find this a bit more over the top than even the prequel duels.
Context matters in the prequels because everybody is angrier, bitter, and the duels are with opponents who are much younger with far different equipment who are still actively training. That' a major reason the duels got more impressive because you could show the Jedi and Sith in their prime. Doing that with the OT feels wrong to me because this isn't Starkiller to do that, that an over confident Vader and an Obi-Wan who wasn't getting out of their anyways. It's cool to have that in a filmography, I just don't think it suits the OT.-----------------------------------
For anyone that needs to know why OMD is awful please search the internet for Linkara' s video's specifically his One more day review or his One more day Analysis.

No matter what you think of it by itself, it's still a much better edit than Greedo missing the broad side of a barn from inside of it.
Dark does not mean deep.

When another poster said it was more over the top than the prequels I was expecting to see Vader and Old Ben flipping around like a couple of lemurs so maybe it was because my expectations were low but I actually thought that was really good, certainly no more over the top than the battle between Luke and Vader in Empire. It reminded me a lot of the final Vader scene from Rogue One, you really got that feeling of why everybody feared Vader here and the touch with the sound from Revenge of the Sith overlaying the final moment worked well.
In my head, this just might be how this scene plays out now.
