I don't know if it has already mentioned, but there's a very interesting article showing all the lightsaber goofs in the whole saga. Very funny! It's right there (click on the "Starwars Blogs" picture).

Funny stuff, and some interesting details.

That being said, I can't believe he missed the gaffe in ROTJ, where Luke's lightsaber is behind Vader's:

MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.

MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.

JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.

hey, I know that guy. He's in my Garrison.

There's good in the Original Trilogy, and it's worth fighting for.

I was wondering if anyone had noticed Obi-Wan's lightsaber blade briefly turning into a twig during his fight with Vader in ANH.

I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.

Yep, thats the walking stick he is talking about. It looked better on the DVD's but WTF don't they just re-rotoscope the entire blade instead of adding a weak glow to make them look like analog PT lightsabers.

Huh, but Luke strikes from right to left (more or less) so it should be behind Vader's.

But Vader blocked Luke's saber is its logical that Vader' saber should be behind Luke' saber.

Jocasta Nu from starwars.com had this to say:

"Although it may appear that Luke's lightsaber blade is behind Vader's, that is actually not the case. Remember that the Sith prefer to use synthetic crystals in the construction of their lightsabers. These synthetic crystals produce lightsaber blades that are red in color and are far more powerful than the blades produced by the natural crystals preferred by the jedi. What you are seeing here is Vader's red saber disrupting the power matrix of Luke's saber, effectively "breaking" Luke's green blade. This momentarily causes the illusion that Vader's lightsaber is in front of Luke's."

(Okay. I made that up.

)

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

What is with this guy? Is he the f***ing Rain Man or something? Who notices this crap when they're watching it at normal speed?

There's really no way of telling who's blade is on top of who's because the light where they meet is practically a mix of both red and green.

No, you can see the edge of the red blade over the green blade. Believe me, Lucas apologists have been trying to explain this one away for years.

I altered the curves to make it easier to see. It looks to me like Luke's saber is on top of Vader's. I see nothing wrong here.

Interesting site, but he does the one thing that really drives me nuts.

"After loosing his father's lightsaber, along with his hand, Luke returned to his home planet of Tatooine."

UGH! What is it with the internet that no one can spell "lose" correctly? I understand "Teh" and "pwned" are used ironically, but "loose" is always just plain misspelled.

Yeah, that's one of my huge pet peeves too, as well as "your" vs "you're" and "there" "their" and "they're" problems.

There's nothing wrong with this picture, Luke's saber should be behind Vader's.
Just look at this clip. Luke grabs his saber, Vader holds up his saber and keeps it steady. Then Luke strikes from right to left, so his saber should be behind Vader's.

But that makes no sence, if it was behind vaders he could continue to slice Palpys face up.

He could have done that with his first strike.

Hmmm. But do you believe Luke tries to hit the emperor and Vader stops him?
I never looked at it like this before. I always believed Luke ignored the emperor and focused on Vader.

Yeah, but (as seen in ROTJ

) Luke is about to slice Palpy's head off, but Vader blocks his saber.

I believe that's generally the way it's perceived, especially since that was what the Emperor was telling him to do all along.

I always thought he was trying to get at the Emperor, with Vader blocking the blade. But I also always thought Luke's was on bottom, and I was confused.

That's really a bad screen cap. Here's a better one.

This one from the official DVD looks like the blades are intertwined.

Also, I think some are getting "behind" confused. Some are thinking of it in relation to the picture: Vader's sword is behind Luke's in the picture (Luke's is closest to us). Other's are thinking in relation to the events depicted in the pic: Vader's sword is in front of Luke's and he is blocking it from hitting the Emperor (Vader's is closest to the Emperor).

We're all on the same page, just some of us are thinking objectively and others subjectively what "behind" means.

my most hated lightsaber goof of all time is vader's pink bubblegum lightsaber in the 2004 dvd's. Not crimson Red like it's supposed to be.

another one is the one that has always been in return of the jedi because of a deleted scene, Luke's lightsaber Being attached to vader's belt after he threw it away and then suddenly it is in Luke's hand without even a force grab to get it off his belt.

“Always loved Vader’s wordless self sacrifice. Another shitty, clueless, revision like Greedo and young Anakin’s ghost. What a fucking shame.” -Simon Pegg.
