Well that's not going to mean anything round these part, user names and all. "Hey, it's me!" Thanks for posting.

The clash animation mattes detail you pointed out makes me wonder if when they did the work were people assigned shots or parts of shots. Was someone responsible for all lightsaber comps, someone else all laser blasts, someone else spaceships etc. What you point out really sounds like an assembly line mistake, where they don't look at the whole scene just the photoshop selection. and apply the filter and move onto the next shot. Wish the guy from the blu-ray thread who was part of the color job would write a little more...
