Kinda like explosions going "BOOM" in the vacuum of space. Sometimes we need to learn to take artistic vision with a grain of salt, and I'm glad you understand the difference between continuity/factual mistakes and artistic license.



So how do you know what is artistic vision and a mistake? Was it artistic vision to leave Luke's lightsaber as a changing color saber in ANH in the original, the SE's and the 2004 editions? Because these mistakes continue to go uncorrected, should I assume they are intended to be that way and Anakin had a super cool mood saber?

Watch the scene in slow motion, frame by frame and you will see these are as much mistakes because of the technology at the time as the lightsaber in ANH is.
