So…not to pull a Ronster but I’ve been dying to bring this up for quite some time now.
Adywan, I was wondering if you’ve considered introducing a slight pulsation to the lightsaber blades?
As I’m sure you’re aware the prequel lightsaber blades were pretty uniform glowsticks. Whereas the OT blades, having been rotoscoped by hand have this certain unique living feel to them. Especially in Star Wars(1977).
Starting with Star Wars Rebels Lucasfilm introduced a new stylistic change to their depiction of blades that’s more true to the original film. Here’s a Youtube video where they discuss how they achieved the effect.
It seems they’re continuing similarly to that trend in the new film. Here’s a new commercial that features pulsating lightsaber blades akin to the OT style.
I think it’s a great effect that adds some unique feeling of authenticity to them.
From what I understand of your schedule, if you’re still held up by waiting to film additional elements. Now would be the perfect time to introduce this to the edit if you haven’t considered it already. Similarly because following this you could then introduce it to SW:RHD and the rest of the Revisited saga.
Anyway, that’s my two cents. Thanks for your time! =)
