Topic: A possible reason why the lightsabers are so messed up in ROTJ

So, I went through the DVD active article again on the changes throught the OT, and saw this particular quote regarding the lightsabers.
"there is a definite increase in brightness and contrast." That refers to the original SE.
Now, I'd bet you've all seen the catastrophe that is the '04 sabers, but in case you haven't:

And here's the SE's, just for fun:

I'm wondering if perhaps they took the SE masters and just downed the brightness/contrast to closer match the original release, and ignored the lightsabers. I apologize if this is common knowledge, by the way. Comments?

I know I do this a lot, but I wanted to quote this just for the sheer truth to it.

*is a youngun at 13* Thank you George Lucas for bringing us Star Wars. No I'm not a kiss-ass fan, but I just thought the man deserves some credit. Thank you for remastering SW, thank you for making Han Shoot First, thank you for all the new controvercial scenes.
Guess which two are sarchastic?

In all seriousness, SW is worthy of being celebrated on its thirtieth. Congrats to the fans for sticking to it, congrats to Mr. Lucas for having a vision (although it seems the dark side clouded his vision until '97

,) and congrats to all those fans who are willing to educate the uneducated in the OT such as myself.

Marvolo, I talked to Doctor M about that recently; he said that he would not be able to do so as his internet was not very good. A user by the name of Faustus has them available for PIF if someone were to talk to him and then submit as a torrent.
I hope this helps, as I am also wishing to get this set.

Samurai Jack was amazing - its style just didn't fit Star Wars IMO.

In the Radio Drama, he without a doubt meets Princess Leia - but again, in the end, it's up to you about the "no escape" line.

Was considering going to see the 6 films on the big screen but it ain't worth it. I'm not a con person, tried ComiCon last year and was "eh" on it.

Since DE said he wasn't going to color-correct the movie, I'd be interested in seeing someone take his version and use GOUT histograms to make it look better (IMO) when it comes out. Would anyone be up to this??

At least that's what I gather from discussion I've heard about those sites.

I quote this for truth; you've summed up my opinion very well.
Hey, can you read people's minds over the internet?

Well, the radio drama shows how they first met, the princess and 3PO; I kind of liked the idea of him covering for her, as if he thought it would make a difference.
I'll check the radio drama for a piece of audio later that may be useful.

Criticism - the team is trying to make a much better version than the GOUT. In the end, if I understand your explanations correctly, it would probably have the same amount of grain unless they made it very blurry. However, I think you're being a bit hard on them. I totally support the X0 project myself, so I'm a bit biased.
You should switch the screenshots back (and make them links rather than images,) it looks much worse now IMO.
EDIT: Sluggo's post below hit my opinion right on the nail
