OK... what if somehow it were edited that he had his "ANH" saber the whole time? Maybe reveal it by igniting it right before his last leap with 2 sabers, and Obi picks it up on the rocks? 

Not bad. That allows for his saber to be red during the duel, but lets Obi Wan still retrieve the blue ANH one.

Definetly the best idea I've seen so far regarding the issue, and also the most realistic. It also adds a little danger and surprise to Anakin's seemingly suicidal jump.

I'll give a thumbs up as well.  I'm the kind of guy who likes changes, as long as they're interesting.

As for Vader folding his arms, you must remember, Vader never lies down, leans on a chair, sits on a table swinging his legs, covers his mouth when he sneezes, or anything.  He simply sits or stands (or on rare occasions, kneels) with arms at the side, looking as tough as possible.  It takes a physical toll, but it's the price ya pay to be cool.  Besides, he has all those robotic limbs.  No need to rest.

There is also a little depth behind the idea.  If he has 2 sabers the whole time and he only uses one it shows his cockiness.  Then you can keep the "You can't win, I have the higher ground" / "you underestimate my power" lines as a way... OK, now you pissed me off, buzz, jump, oh wait... slice... FAIL.  Seems kinda cool.  LOL!

Galatians 2: 20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

I see your point, but I have to think that when Vader was new to the suit and the complete set of fake limbs, he had to be a bit uncomfortable, and would stand/sit/walk in ways he might not otherwise until he gets used to it.  Also I see folded arms as a sign of impatience, one of the things that led him to the dark side, and almost did with his son.

 I actually have no problem with him folding his arms.  It doesn't seem out of character to me.  I was just being silly :)

Bob closed his youtube account, anyone got some information on this, and the future of this amazing edit?

 

I hope everything is allright...

That's not good... I hope everything is all right, as well. There's been no news on this for awhile.

He updated the first post, confirming that he had to close the account, as his videos were flagged by Fox.

Other then that my friends, I'm afraid mum's the word.

English isn't my first language. So are you being criptic or it's some idiomatic phrase, I don't get you XD

"Mum's the word" is indeed an idiom sir. It means "there is no more information to be given."

This is the most promising prequel edit I've ever seen. It can't be dead. IT CAN'T.

But he isn't. 

Scaaaaaary stuff.

Don't worry, this IS rolling indeed until we got new info.

It's hard to wait tho.

 

Remember the last info we got was that Bob was replacing the source vids from HDTV transfers to the Blu Ray transfers. Which is a process that demanded 2-3 weeks to Adywan. So I hope that's the real explanation

All the same... Some angel reassurance would be swell.

All Bob has to decide, is what to do with the time that's given to him (?)

Hehe. It's not dead guys. It's a time issue. Replacing old footage and still special fx shots to be done. Wish it could go faster, but a man has to do what a man has to do :) ATM this mans been a bit busy. It'll get there for sure tho. Thanks for staying interested in the work tho. It means alot.
