I didn’t actually notice the jump cut until it was pointed out in this thread, and since the individual asked for it to be taken out and I was already reverting other 2011 R2 changes, I figured that it wouldn’t hurt to revert this one to the 2004 broadcast version as well.

As for the sabers, the film sources that I was rotoscoping by hand had a great deal of color grain that could only be partially removed before the image quality was too greatly affected. In terms of luminosity, if you examine the Blu-ray the cores of the sabers are blown out, so they had to be reduced some way or another. Finally, the more desaturated color is representative of the original film as opposed to the saturated color used in all the other films, and I wanted to preserve this since I quite like it. 😃
