Well that's the thing. If you want my humble opinion ESB is really as close to perfect movie we can get. The only problems I see are technical. We don't need to ADD anything. All this talk about adding shields and lines really makes me scratch my head...

The only thing ESB really needs IMHO is maybe some technical work.

So its my contention is that a light source generates light and that is most apparent in the dark. So maybe digitally this technical inconsistency can be fixed.
