Also, shouldn't the rail only have one cut in it, as opposed to two (since Vader only hits it once)?

I also concur that the sabre seems a bit slow in retraction... maybe someone could make a Youtube clip with a montage of sabre retractions so we can determine the timing (or would that be too anal even for a STAR WARS fan... up to the challenge, ImpFighter?)?

I take it you didn't look at either the MISSING RED VENTS or YELLOWISH LIGHTS AND MISSING TUBING 'links' in my long post yesterday then Monroville?...as they included various shot examples which show the various 'gaps' all along the railings...

As far as the speed of the 'retraction', I'm already pleased with it, and personally don't have any problem with it (so that's a 'no' on the 'montage' thing, lol)...and I reckon the final sound effect that is still to accompany it will sell it perfectly. It was only the 'hilt's end that I preferred a slightly more 'stylistic' angle of, for the 'close-up' (like the original)...as it seems to me that the angle it's held at in Vader's hands leading up to that point, is kinda slightly inconsistent anyway. No biggie though.

And Ady, maybe we should have ImpFight go through the movie and do the text commentary on the Visual Comparison, eh? ;-)

Heh, you're not getting out of it *that* easy! I wouldn't blame you for trying, as there's just so many enhancements in certain individual shots alone on this one...which is great of course. You'll need a gazzillion 'arrows' in some of them!

Even better, a text commentary of his text commentary.

(and that reminds me...I'll be nominating my 2 'funniest things' I've come across during this whole thread so far, nearer the end of December...)
