I reckon I have the answer to this one and its sooooo simple...
When the Jedi fight against enemys with blasters what happens to the laser bolts that are fired at them? they bounce off and deflect off the saber blades right
Well what if you were training in a confined space with a remote firing smaller ( but still potentially deadly) laser bolts at you , and there were people nearby observing you, you couldnt deflect or bouce the remotes laser bolts for fear of causing damage to someone or something around you ( like Luke in the Millenium Falcon in ANH ).
Therefore my theory is that the blade on Lukes saber has been altered or changed somehow so as to only "soak" the bolts form the remote and this could cause a slight difference in the blade colour.
My theory is backed ,somewhat , by the fact that lightsabers have 'blade length and intensity controls'and 'modulation circuitry' built into them *.
These controls could be utelized for training purposes and re-tuning the crystals could change the color of the blade.
Now you have to agree, even GL probably aint thought of that one

I should make a thread about how the unevenness of the prologue text scrolling in ANH makes my eyes hurt and ruins the movies for me. We could use more anal, nonproductive threads.
Well, I know the opening logo moves about twice as fast in ANH.
The crawl on ESB is a lot bolder and wider.
