Did anyone ever notice that the lasers in the NT move faster than the ones in Classic Star Wars???

never did time them

Me neither how did you discover this Julie?

you must've watched the OT and PT right after another to spot that!

Or had them playing at the same time.

trick of the light and you all expect that an old Mike Oldfield song comming up..... you are right too

"I have a crazy man
Waiting for a confirmation.
Signs keep a-changing up.
I need some more information.

Some are tricks of the light, you'll never know.
Make a flickering midnight light into a glow.
It's a trick of the light.
It's a trick of the light." - Mike Oldfields Trick Of the Light from the 1984 Discovery album lead vocals by Maggie Riley

you mean shooting or targeting?

Spotted the blanks on the floor in ANH?

Ahh!!! What does all of this mean!?

...

Cool discovery Julie.

ok if you say so......really it's just my opinion.....I think that the laser blasts travel faster in the new movies......There are a lot more above ground shots with flying lasers......the OT movies seemed to have slower blaster bolts....

but perhaps they're powerful?

They aren't kinetic weapons, yerss. Despite the blank rounds...

Uh you'll have to explain that one Ush.

If you look at the opening fight of ANH you can see the blank cartridges on the floor- the stage weaponry was firing blanks, see?

Oh, I never noticed the cartridges. Sweet.

Maybe another reason is that the special fx have improved drastically since 1977-1981.

*sigh*
they did the blanks on purpose, so the backfire would be original and not faked

Oh great, and then they leave all these cartridges on the floor... how VERY realistic!

Probably stage blanks anyway; the whole scene would have been incredibly dangerous if those had been actual blanks.

Well most of us aren't that observant so blank cartridges slip by us

oh we saw them allright, but you could use a vague excuse and call it rubble from stray laser shots.

or that.....I suppose.... honestly...sometimes people are too observant when it comes to watching a movie!

just search for SW bloopers and that's it

I hardly ever catch bloopers....usually I end up reading about them later. Though I did notice the scream in AOTC and TPM.

you don't know the bloopers???

not all of them......

BTW what do you people think of the lasers in AOTC....some of the colors were pretty

I have to be told about most bloopers...

I don't look at them much

hmmm, I think I have deleted the list of bloopers...should check again

ahhh what'd you go and do that for?????? People like me need the lists of bloopers....

don't have them anymore, you'll have to search the net

ahhh....oh well I'm too lazy, but what I don't know can't usually hurt me when it comes to watching a star wars movie.....I can enjoy it regardless of finding the "special bloopers"

are you sure?

I am quite sure because I rarely do find the bloopers and yet I still enjoy it......It's always nice to be able to pick them out, but I do not make that my goal
