Hi folks !
It’s time for the second video, this time an essay about the symbolic of colors throughout the saga.
I’m trying to tackle characters, environments symbolic and make a quick allusion to the lightsabers color with some personnal interpretation as well as intended effects. Keen to debate about it here !

It’s out there, again this is only my 2nd video so open to feedbacks :

I very much enjoyed this, and it was very well done and edited, with good humour as well throughout!

I was a little surprised there was not more mention of the Jedi uniform originally being black, something George mentions for ROTJ, and also had pre-production and costume designs for Jedi uniforms being black the Prequels. In the EU too. It was a little disappointing that Kershner and Marquand didn’t get mention in the video? (many often forget or overlook their contributions, instead giving credit or prominence to George), or the EU contributions to lightsabers and colours in the films, and that there were no rules about lightsaber colours introduced until the Prequels?

Those are really my only small nitpicks, or maybe ideas and scope for your future content to include. I really was entertained by the video, will recommend it to friends, and look forward to your next instalment.
