And the prequel trilogy certainly had a few emotional lightsaber fights.

And by "a few", you mean "none."

Literally every prequel fight, with one exception I'll get to in a moment, had zero emotion behind it because the combatants barely knew each other and really had no reason to care about the other's fate. Darth Maul and Grievous could have been replaced with cardboard boxes with lightsabers taped to them and frowny-faces painted on them for all the difference it would have made to their characters. Dooku acted like he had some great observation to make on the Jedi and the Sith, but never got around to it before he was disposed of.

About the only fight that had any real emotion behind it was Anakin vs. Obi-Wan, and that fight was so ridiculously bloated and overdone that it's basically a farce of itself. That and the emotion is driven by a non-existent friendship that existed entirely offscreen and which is relayed to us by the two characters saying what good friends they are, while doing nothing onscreen except arguing with each other.
