I checked the DVD and videos - Luke's lightsaber is blue (with the exception of the several second shot on the Falcon in the DVD releases)

I'm gonna have to assume ur version is defective or maybe the contrast/brightness of ur tv is off slightly?

no, my copy is a straight copy done myself from the original DVD from Blockbuster.
I didn't forgot to make the screens, it's just that episode 3 finished downloading and I HAD to watch it again I promise tonight I'll post my screenshots.

the lightsabre colour, well you both could be right, some people see some colours of the spectrum slightly differently depending on the cones on the retina and the signals perceived by the brain.

i remember seeing either a green or blue lightsabre right throughout the film, on the falcon its definitely green in my eyes and when obi wan shows it to luke for the first time it looks green to me also

god damnit - do we need a poll on this?

Geroge Lucas backs my side of the story

so your videos arent overplayed like you thought jenny's were? if they were overplayed then of course by your reasoning they would have faded/poor colour...which means how can you use your video as evidence?

of course you never considered your version was defective did you?

Q is a master of logic

I have the videos and 2 copies of the dvd - they all show blue - i don't think all three are likely to be wrong. Plus they are supposed to be blue. Plus no one else has claimed otherwise.....

[Darth Jenny]

Izzy, my friend, you were right, I checked ANH again and indeed the LS was blue, not green. For a split of a second it was green, but just that.

I was going to bring this up when the movie first came out but I forgot about it............

Has anyone else noted that Anakin/Vader never wins a saber fight in any of the movies
Episode 1: to young, no saber battles
Episode 2: Loses to Count Dooku
Episode 3: Beats Dooku but only because Dooku is under orders not to kill Anakin by Palpatine(from the novel). He makes a sneak attack on Mace. Loses to Obi-Won
Episode 4: Only beats Obi-Won when Kenobi intentionally drops his guard
Episode 5: Cant finish off Luke despite Luke not being fully trained
Episode 6: Loses to Luke

I dont read any of the extended universe novels, but going just by the movies Anakin/Vader wasnt tha great of a warrior. Strong with the "force" yes, but not much of a fighter when faced against an opponent of comparable skill.

Lol - i think he beat Dooku, but hell, if the book says so

I suppose thats a bit of mystery to the films - was Anakin really ever the chosen one? U can use ur points for the 'against' argument.

U had me worried i was colour blind! Glad its all settled

It does go green very briefly on the Falcon, i never noticed on the video release but its very evident on the dvd - ah remastering, in this case going badly wrong!

There was a scene filmed that was cut, right after the emperor tells Anakin to kill Dooku, Dooku turns to the emperor and says "You promised I'd be spared" It was cut when Lucas decided it wuld raise too much suspicion in Anakin too early in the movie. The novel made it very clear that Dooku was not going all out against Anakin because the Emperor wanted Anakin alive.

Sounds about right

I still don't understand why Palpatine was 'kidnapped' seemed an incredibly risky way to achieve nothing.....

It was described as palpatines plan to stage his kidnapping inorder to lure Anakin and Obi-Won back from what ever assignment they were on for the Clone Wars. It was ultimately Palpatines plan to eliminate Dooku and open a spot to lure Anakin as his new apprentice. Thats why Dooku was told to take it easy on Anakin and that Palpatine would use his control over Anakin to spare him.

hehehe...i couldnt resist teasing you ....  especially since you said we agreed on most things...

well he killed all those trainee jedi children...does that not count? lol

Yeah - but under closer inspection that falls to bits

There is a line in which Anakin says if this hadn't happened he would never have got back from the Outer Rim - and yet they can travel there and back in a day, so its not as if he was really that far away....I always thought it was weird they could travel from one side of the galaxy in hours.....

Getting your entire fleet trashed just to meet up with Anakin just doesn't make sense...

Not that i'm saying ur explanation is wrong - it isn't, i'm just hoping someone thinks of a better one

hehehe...i couldnt resist teasing you? ....? especially since you said we agreed on most things...

Why u.....

[MikeB]

I saw the movie, it fucking rocked! But I forget a few parts already. Before Obi-Wan fought Darth Vader, didn't someone tell him that Anakin joined the Dark Side in order to know he had to fight him?? Didn't Obi-Wan tell Padme that Anakin joined the dark side but she refused to believe him? When the fuck is this movie coming out on DVD/VHS?
