The ROTS sabers looked like they were made in microsoft paint. I mean look at the OT sabers they were moving and hissing they looked like they could cut something. The ROTS sabers looked like glowing night sticks that would piss off an enemy more than kill them

You have noticed the difference between old style optical effects (ie optical printer techniques) and new style digital CGI effects.

As a completely non-OT:R subject but related to Ady's mock-up, I would also suggest making Mace the only Jedi to confront Palpy. This may be a nightmare to edit (both visually and auditory), but if pulled off would add a lot to Mason J. Windu's character. Just something to file away until 2019....

i will be doing that.

Cool, saves all of those Jedi from dying in the dumbest way imaginable.

What I always though when the fight was about to happen, was what we saw in ROTJ and later in The Force Unleashed.

They confront him, Sidious cracks a smile and huge wave of force lighting the others with Mace crumple to the floor in smoky heaps and or fetal positions. Windu is all that is left standing, Mace does the squint/look of determination and fight goes as before.

Or right before that Sidious does his 'Strike me down, but use all your hate or you will not survive.' Then the 'unlimited power'.

By the time you get around to the prequels they will be on Blu Ray, with new transfers and a CG Yoda in TPM so the coloring isssues may well be moot.

*checks*

Yup, still GL running things, so no nothing will be improved.

I image Ady will have to fix the TPM CGI Yoda too.

Even if GL announces a big project for the Blue-ray release, ie a new master digital print for the HD and another wave CGI updates (I still feel Ady will get ripped off if GL does that since the things in ANH feel too professional for GL to not do himself) certin things will still not be fixed and Ady or another will have to go back and redo them.

Though video editing software in 10 years might be little better.

It was actually the Director's Guild of America. Since he refused to put Irvin Kershner, a DGA member, in the opening credits of ESB, even though Kershner didn't care, the DGA wanted to fine them a shit-ton of money and IIRC kick Kershner out of the DGA. To protect his director, Lucas himself accepted the fine and quit the DGA.

This had the unforunate drawback of preventing him from ever hiring a Guild director again - and Spielberg was (and still is) a member of the DGA. So he hired UK director Richard Marquand instead.

Actually it gets even more complicated.

GL always had permission from the DGA and SAG (Screen Actors Guild) to do SW this way, but FOX never forgave GL for outsmarting them when came to merchandising (which didn't exist in any real form before SW) but the very concept of creator/director having that much power upset them and other studios. So they used their influence to create the incident with the Guild to either derail TESB or RTOJ.

GL found this out only later and that is why he left the DGA.

(Or that is the story from the head of FOX who green lit SW in 1976 and was asked to leave FOX for how much power and influence he let GL have for the original SW.)
