I would just like to bring this one back up.

Ady, will you be adding any saber marks for this shot? I figure since Luke swings across the surface, rather than stabbing the door lock, that it seems logical to see where Luke's saber touched the surface. Thoughts?

Luke had cut the latch and there is no real place to add any burn marks. i may add a faint heat glow on each section of the latch but that's about it

Ehh, I understand where you're coming from Ady, but it IS a lightsabre not a lockpick... not to mention, when Luke swings that thing, does the FX of the blade go through any of the metal around the door?

Thats the reason I brought it up. The door hatch seems to appear like it is indented, meaning when Luke swung the saber it looks like he just swipes it across the surface, hitting the lock mechanism in the process, rather than "picking the lock" as previously said. At least to me, it looks like the saber is cutting from the latch itself, to the area on the upper side (from camera's POV) of the latch.

This mockup is crude, and maybe a bit exaggerated, but only to show the path of the cut I see (rough, might not be accurate). What I would really want to see is something not as distracting, but still visible. Hope this gets my idea across better. Apologies for the poor quality.
