With all the edits they did I was surprised at how they didn’t seem to update the lightsaber effects in many scenes. I don’t know much about video production but I’d think that would’ve been one of the more easy things to revise.
Agreed. While I do think the lightsaber effects in Empire and Jedi still hold up, they look absolutely terrible in the original, and with all the other stuff Lucas has changed for better or worse (but mostly worse) over the years, it’s odd that he’s never tried to fix those. Or that he never noticed how the so-called color-correction in 2004 resulted in them being completely miscolored in many shots… Like, even as a twelve-year-old I was just like “…Luke’s lightsaber was green just now. Why was it green just now.”
