Not meaning to lead the current discussion off on a tangent, but seeing all those sparks reminded me of another scene and I just wanted to quickly ask if anyone else thinks this is a good idea:

I think whoever created that had the right idea of adding some sparks there.

That would be me. :)

If I'm not mistaken in my recollection, Ady mentioned adding a flash there instead of sparks. I'm good with that, but I'm hoping when it comes to the audio side of the edit, something similar to the sound I added will be used to make the lightsaber not sound like a bat hitting a metal grating.
