Not sure if this has been mentioned, but was the lightsaber ignition sound for anakin/lukes saber accurate to the OT? it sounded different to me
This annoyed me too. The first time Finn ignites it, it sounds like Vader’s saber to me. I was on alert for this after having replaced two saber sound effects for my Ep3 edit that were wrong. Then again, the DVD remaster has the ROTJ saber ignition used in ESB, so I’m not sure what they’re smoking.
Haha hal, something to fix in your future edit…
Can’t speak on the sound so much (though a number of effects such as blasters and the Falcon’s quad cannons definately sounded… Different…). But they totally got the power button wrong. In one shot (I think as he’s about to engage the riot trooper shock stick guy), Finn CLEARLY mashes the big red button near the top to ignite the saber. Trouble is, it’s clearly established in the OT (specifically, the very first time Luke ignites this same saber in obi-wan’s house, but plenty of other times too) that the power button is the big rectangular block located down nearer the black grips. This is further emphasized by the fact that ALL of the OT sabers have a similar big rectangular block that you see the actors pressing when turning them on or off, but none of the other OT sabers have a big red button.
I’m not sure why this minor detail bugged me so much, but it really got under my skin when I saw it. Like, I almost wanted to shout out in the theater, “that’s the wrong button!” Thankfully I constrained myself to an eye roll and, probably, a huff of indignance.
