Like it does here in episode six.

I have to say, I liked the look of the ROTJ laser better, because of the center one. I seem to recall that before the Special Editions, the Death Star in ANH also had a center blast, and didn't have the "beady" converging lasers that I think make it look weaker. I haven't checked, though, so I could be wrong (I may just be remembering ROTJ).

Either way, though, adywan, would you mind sharing what you changed about the Death Star laser in that shot? I know you said that you repainted all the lasers in the film, so I'm assuming you touched up the shot in some way, even if you maintained the "beady" look.

Take care,
Sojourn
