That’s what I think would actually be powerful about burying the sabers, though. They are blue and purple, and in the next shot the saber activates with a flash of two colors - it seems odd that it would be anything but those colors if that message is to ‘read’, at least to me.
Also: YES I KNOW LUKE’S SABER IS GREEN AND I AGREE IT STANDS FOR HIS CHARACTER BUT IT JUST DOESN’T MAKE SENSE FOR THIS STUPID SCENE IN THIS STUPID MOVIE BECAUSE SHE ONLY HAS HIS BLUE ONE AND IT BREAKS EVERYTHING BUT WHATEVER I DON’T ACTUALLY CARE.
Ahem. Please continue 😃
I agree with Nev. The blue saber represents Luke in this trilogy more than the green, so it should be blue and purple symbolism. That’s why he projected the blue saber on Crait.
As for the sparks, I was just thinking of ways to cover up the lighting issue. I think the best solution visually would be to flicker the lightsaber when Rey looks at it (doing a color mask to hide the lighting discrepancy), then have it simply cut out before Kylo’s final strike.
Then have it spark out on Exegol, to show that it’s truly destroyed.
