yeah I know. I just thought it would be cool if he had kept it on. You know he is in the middle of a battle. It does not seem right that he turns it off.

Well if you look frame by frame at the shot you will see that as luke jumps across luke actually has the the stunt saber with short blade that was used during filming so it would make sense that it was ignited. Something for me to think about for my edit i guess.

I don't think that Luke should have the sith eyes though. He never turned to the dark side so wouldn't have had them.

Yeah I have always noticed that he was using the stunt saber. I am glad that you check out this thread. I thought this would be a good place to generate ideas. About the Sith eyes. I thought it would be cool because he was full of so much anger when he was beating down on vader. Then when he realizes what he is becoming he takes that deep breath. I always imagined it would look cool for him to have those eyes because he was giving in to the dark side. It would be cool to see that and then see him realize what he is doing and have those eyes fade away as he took that breath. This is just an idea i have been toying with in my mind.

F*** yeah! Do the eyes. Luke should have red eyes as he's swing his saber to chop of Vader's hand and when the closeup of Luke looking at his own hand, his eyes return to their natural color. This shows just how close Luke was to turning to the dark side.
