Ijust went and listened to it. He is not complaining, he talking about the essence of the fight.
They could have easily re-shot/editted in some new choreography into that scene. Much like how they got Christopher Lee's fight to work.
Shoot some scenes of a replica Vader, and some guy in a hood, doing some more advanced motions and splice them into the scene.
The fact that ANYBODY can be Darth Vader and that Obi-Wan is wearring his hood up, means they could practically shoot anything and get away with it.
I think the whole Anakin vs Obi-Wan duel deserves to end with a suitable BANG!
yeah, it looks like they tried to cover it up with the over saturation of blue, because it wasn't even really colored before, but it still hasn't quite covered it. Notice they've NEVER done that angle again? I think they realized what a bad idea it was. Cuz really, what does a lightsaber look like from the top? Is it all color? is it white with color around it? It could be debated for hours. But please, nobody debate it. Let's just agree that was a bad idea.
GEorge Lucas was tottaly complaining about everything. He kept mysteriously mentioning what he "would" do to the films. Like when he said he "would" have yoda hopping along Luke in the training sequence. Or when he said he "would" make the Bobba Fett death scene more epic. He's totally gonna fix more stuff.
i didn't get that at all. i think he just meant, if he hadn't been limited, but despite the limitations, perfectly sutible solutions were found. I felt there was nothing but praise at how well puppet Yoda turned out. Although, I would like to see Boba blast out of the Sarlacc on film. It'd make my Unleashed Fett even COOLER than it already is!! But in all honesty, I don't think its gonna happen.
