Thanks for posting, none. Excellent article, I found this interesting;

Beyond droids and speeders, Stears would further lend his skills to the films many impressive laser battle pyrotechnics and was most noteworthily responsible for the epic blast that launched the Imperial Stormtroopers into the Rebel Blockade Runner at its start-an explosion so big and loud, though mis-timed apparently, spectators recalled it shook and almost demolished the lime green corridor set around them (as well as almost ending Stears life and career indefinitely!), and would be well remembered by the actors and stuntmen playing friend and foe. Just watch the final film and see for yourself how big that on-screen blast actually is: the debris that shoots past the camera and the shock on the Rebel soldiers faces as it goes off. No fear acting required - this was the real thing!

The lime green is something you definitely see traces of in the Technidisc LD as well, haven't really given it a thought before but it's seen in various behind the scenes pics of the corridor set, but this lime green quote is interesting as I was actually under the impression it was a pale blue, the wall panels and doorframes are clearly white but the rest is in a different shade as you can see. How all this appeared when photographed and ultimately timed is something different though.
