Original Trilogy DVD- Discussion thread

You betcha! 😄

Nobody questions if Luke's saber in ESB is green or blue. EVERYONE knows that it's blue. Same goes with the new saber in ROTJ. Same with all the sabers in the prequels. Regardless of whether or not Luke's saber is blue or green or cyan or whatever the hell, the point is that there is confusion, whereas in every single other scene, it is extremely easy to distinguish the color of each saber, either blue or green. We shouldn't be having to argue that it's slightly more blue than green or vice versa. They should make it the absolutely rich BLUE of every other blue saber in the saga.

Oh, and it's definitely [b]green. [/B]

Aside from the last sentence, which is still totally wrong, I might be inclined to agree; they may as well have put the work in to totally re-colourise the sabre to its ESB colour.

The thing that mostlt bothers me about that saber, whether its blue or green (it is), is that it is not consisten throughout the entire sequence.

My point is the exact opposite of that- it IS consistent.

I'm kind of getting really sick of hearing about the damn color of the lightsaber...does it REALLY matter THAT much?

*still waiting for the DVDs*

Which is the problem then. I haven't seen it yet, but if a sabre LOOKS green in one scene and blue in another... they could have tweaked the shots to make them LOOK the same. I do the same when I colour correct my own documenatries: I switch back and forth between shots of the same location to make sure either the ground has the same colour, or the sky, whatever seems to differ. Sometimes things look to have a different colour from a certain angle or in a different combination of objects, as in this case. And of course, one begins to wonder why they did make that correction in the menu with the sabre and not in editing. Factually they are the same, but from the stills I;ve seen, they LOOK different. And that's what a film is also about: the look.

Well, the DVD menu isn't a correction as such, it's built from scratch and looks like the ESB sabre instead. The ANH one is overlaid.

But they didn't 'correct' the sabres in AOTC that people thought were purple; fact is, in practice, it really is a non-issue except for picky people that have chosen to make an issue out of it when there really isn't one there.

Yeah but we don't 'see' the 'purple' sabres shift colours now, do we? In that ANH scene it's the most prominent feature in the shot. When that changes colour, in my experience at least, one makes sure they match becuse your eye gets drawn to that and the most minute changes become visible. It's just a matter of flipping back and forth between shots to see if it 'looks' the same, not if it IS the same.

Like I say, I really don't see it as an issue.

Doesn't matter, others do.

Others make issue of all sorts of absurd things; that doesn't make the matters in any way important.

then stop commenting.

Don't be such an idiot, Zero. My point is that it is not an issue worth in any way altering- that point in itself is worthwhile commentary against the tirade of unneccessary criticism being made. People ARE making an issue of it and so it needs counter-commentary.

You kids are worse than the nerds at Rebelscum, and that's tough to top.

It only becomes an issue because you create a debate with counter-commentaries...

Now even the counter-commentaries become an issue... See what you have done?! 😆

That sort of commentary, apart from being massively hypocritical because you put yourself in the same bracket immediately, is not relevant or welcome, so keep things on topic, thankyou.

Don't be weird... it was an issue as soon as someone raised the point in this thread. And if we are not here to debate issues, what the heck is the point?

And the topic was...... something SW related right? 😉

It certainly wasn't drifting by and making a silly comment like cinemaddiction did.

But I like him weird
