Jedidefender.com has packaging samples for episode 3
The jigsaw puzzle box has a pic on teh front that looks like anikan versus obiwan, blue versus blue.
Nice. I know they're going with the blue saber to keep the continuity going between Ep III and A New Hope. But it would be cooler if at some point during the duel Anakin pulls out his red saber and swings both at Obi.
the vader mask is strange.
its like part-regular mask
and part-original concept art mask.
i really like the overall design,
but it doesn't seem to match the rest of the star wars brand.
unless the're revamping it for ep3, since its going to be so dark and morbid.
guys! notice theres a red backround on anikans side, hence darkside...notice blue on obiwans side, hence lightside...the colors are diffusing with eachother just right where the lightsabers are, tahts the reason why it seems purple, also its an artwork shot........and the person who people **seem** to be mace windu which is really obiwan is not bald, just bad lighting..
For all of the fools who want Anakin to have a red lightsaber in his Episode 3 duel with Obi-Wan, you are just that: Fools! This is the definitive battle. The one that has the most impact on the galaxy. The situation is especially powerful because two Jedi are clashing. Anakin cannot truly be called a Sith yet, for that takes time and action. He is a betrayer, but technically, he is still a Jedi, and that is all of what this is about. Jedi vs. Jedi, Blue vs. Blue. This was designed since the inception of Star Wars.
A Sith is not merely one who has murdered a few people. It involves embracing the dark side and the traditions of the Sith with singular devotion. No one can be a Sith in one day or one week. It is deeper and with much more commitment and time. Anakin has not accomplished this by the time of his duel with Obi-Wan.
Hold on a second. Just a quick question. What makes people think that Anakin can even bring out his red saber? I was under the impression that he had the blue, got thrown into the lava while Obi keeps Anakins blue saber (for Luke), and then once he becomes Vader he forges the red saber to fully complement his Sith overtaking. Im probably missing something about the speculation, but I've been under this impression for a while now.
__________________ Its not whether you were right or wrong, but instead how much faith you had. That decides the future.
It is an excellent observation, that Anakin would not even have the chance to have a red lightsaber during the Obi-Wan duel. Sidious would not simply give one to him. It has been established since Episode 6, that forging one's own lightsaber is important to the Jedi/Sith. It takes time, and Anakin is extremely busy throughout the entire movie.
