Actually, I thought the split sabre was a DVNR artefact until I noticed that it's there in the SE as well and even more visible, since the original element seems to have been recomped with an unreasonable level of sharpness and low contrast, so it seems to have always been there.

Yes, that one is just the prop that is visible.

I'm talking about this one:

GOUT

JSC LD (V8)

The shape of the remote laser beams were affected by the DVNR in most of the shots as well, but then again you will not notice these artifacts in motion, so it doesn't really matter.
