In the original source, I can definitely see blue in the saber. Not sure if it's due to color shift or what - geez, I so wish that someone could track down the original master copy of that telecine...

It seems more and more likely that the original prints in '77 had an actually *blue* saber glow throughout the entire Falcon section (even if it was still weak relative to the core in certain shots). How is it that this one thing got worse and worse and worse with every iteration of the film? (Does anybody remember how it looked on the theatrical prints of the SE?)

*sigh* If only this scene had been photographed at the Senator screening...
