Palpatine bending Mace Windu's lightsaber blade - yes or no? (The movie)

It actually happened, ppl.

Here's the base bending. http://imgur.com/xunTbFA
As opposed to the tip (arguably). http://imgur.com/Dlnm40M

You know what? This one's better.

So's this. http://m.imgur.com/AxRqXsG

The case is the lightsaber bended backwards, not forward, Geistalt.

why does it matter which way it was bent?

The case is Palpatine's lightning was so forceful it was bending the lightbsaber back into Windu's face, not that the lightsaber became flaccid.

We see that the tip of Mace's ____ wavers back and worth. Those on Sidious' side argue that because only the tip was moving, that would mean the was ____ being contorted. Those on the opposing side have offered the counter-argument that Mace was actually moving his hand in a small circle, creating the illusion that the ____ was wobbling. Personally, I don't see it no matter how hard I look, and I certainly don't see the fountain of the ____ moving, only the tip.

To settle this once and for all, we'd need a scene-by-scene deconstruction of every pixel on-screen. I am not that good at editing, so I'd ask someone else to do it instead - to settle this hotly-debated topic for good.

0-0

The only edit I made was to remove the word blade...

Windu was actually deflecting invisible blaster bolts.

The lightsaber becoming flaccid would surely be a feat in of itself, no?

Lmao. Why did Az have to phrase it so sexually?

Like holy hell.

Mace was actually moving his hand in a small circle, creating the illusion that the "blade" was wobbling.

I swear, that was never my intention. Why did you have to interpet it as such lol

I have a dirt mind but jeez. That was pretty detailed/accurate for being unintentional. xD

I don't think its physically possible for a plasma "blade" contained in a force field to be bent

For the stupid among us(me) what the hell is flaccid
