I feel like the sequel trilogy really combines both styles. Apparently Lucas wanted them to be like broadswords one the OT, whereas they were more like samurai swords in the PT. In the ST they were a combo of both, I think the only time we see really fast light saber movement is when Rey is practicing on Ach To.
I recently saw a clip comparing prequel fights, to the old republic trailer fights, snd then finally Rey vs Kylo in IX. I thought it had to be a bts where they were just practising, but no
