cause I've come to trust Ady to know what's best 99.9% of the time.

And at this point, being so close to finally seeing ESB:R's release, all I'm worried about is the audio side of things, of which there is little to worry about.

Dido.

About the audio, the only thing I'm curious about is how are the sound effects for lightsabers going to be handled in ESB:R, or for that matter, the entire saga.

I'm wondering if they're all going to sound alike for consistency (hums, clashes, striking metal, etc.), sounding like either the OT, PT, or a healthy mixture of both? Or should they all be left alone so that they'll each have their own idiosyncratic sounds?

This is something I've been curious about as well. ESB is what I grew up watching first before I even knew there was ANH or ROTJ, so I've been conditioned, in a sense, to measure all lightsaber sound quality to how it sounds in this film. In ANH, to me, the lightsabers don't seem to clash as hard, and seem like they brush more, and have less "oomph".

In ROTJ, it seems like there is slightly less bass in the clashes, but it still sounds consistent enough with ESB that it never bothered me TOO much.

The PT is inconsistent as well, as I feel the bass sound of clashes in TPM is almost overwhelming at times compared to the OT. Don't get me wrong, it sounds awesome to me, but just inconsistent in the saga overall. AOTC is about even with TPM in this regard.

ROTS seemed to remove all bass in the lightsaber duels altogether, compared to the rest of the PT, and is somewhat consistent with ROTJ and ANH.

This is all based on my own surround system experience, and I realize it may be different for everyone.
