actually, it makes sense his lightsaber have a green blade. the blue blade was on his hand me down hilt and his new hilt very likely had a different crystal in it. besides, it shows its his own construct, not a copy. one thing i noticed. at 02:08, vader could have *so* disemboweled him. then again, both left openings that could have been exploited at one point or another during the fight. sorry lol, such things from the perspective of a student of eastern sword techniques.
hmm y is the blue glow blended wrongly with the scene's brightness... this glow should always be done with addictive blending and the pixels behind the glow should be added onto the blue, not blended just like a normal alpha blend..
Like it, but somehow I always associated the green lightsaber with Luke finally becoming a Jedi and "constructing" his own lightsaber rather than using his Dad's.
Luca$ will now alter the sarlacc pit sequence to take place during the night and change all non-blue Jedi lightsabers throughout the saga to blue to fit his original vision.
@Lostprophetzzz Yeah, I heard fans screaming for Lucas to give the Sarlacc a penis. I heard them begging for Greedo to shoot first and for Han to have a pointless conversation with Jabba in the hangar. They were practically tearing down the Skywalker Ranch for Lucas to add "Nooooooooooooooo!" to Vader's dialogue. Sorry moron, Lucas had done NONE of the edits people have been asking for. Continuity is what they want, not a fucking remake. Idiot.
@Snapscape no. it's people like you who want lucas to update things which didn't need updating. the lightsaber effects are fine. but pricks like you look at the glass half-empty and that's what inspires lucas to make the retarded changes.
@Lostprophetzzz Dumbass, Lucas has been making changes to Star Wars since it's release and no one was asking for them. Do you think "A New Hope" was the original title? He added that before the release of Empire. Now he just makes changes to give people a reason to buy their ten billionth version of the series. And if you think those black bars on the lightsaber matting are fine then you must be blind, like Lucas.
Well/.blue lightsaber is awesome but it is not perfect here.I mean...look in first five second after Luke turned it on you can see green lightsaber with blue on it.Attentively
This would be perfect with a red lightsaber. First you see Luke slaughtering people with it, then you end at the scene where he nearly decided to kill Vader; with red it can look like he turned to the Dark Side!
Lightsaber's generally tempered a Jedi's force personality as in KOTOR and other SW mediums. during ANH & ESB, he was more of a Jedi Guardian, but in ROTJ he started to focus more on the spiritual side of the force like that of a Consular.
it's so easy for someone to make the lightsaber blue in 'Return of the Jedi' with a simple computer program, but Lucasfilm has so much trouble making Luke's lightsaber blue in 'A New Hope' when he is training on the Millennium Falcon
Ummm... I'm not sure if the orginal saber was tested as blue or not, and I am sure that there is some truth in that story. But this footage isn't legit! If it were test footage than why is it using the SE scenes?
@lobmo -- Perhaps the video's title could be misunderstood. The "tests" are of my experiments concerning the recoloring of Luke's saber. This is NOT some sort of 'long lost' footage.
...But, that's why I stated in the description: "...through the magic of technology, we can finally give Luke the blue lightsaber he deserves."
Going by the prequels Lucas thinks blue and green are equally good-guy colors, but when this movie came out blue was good and red was bad, so green with no explanation added to the ambiguity of Luke's destiny and ultimately symbolized his refusal to do what either Yoda or Palpatine had planned.
Always liked the blue. Call me sentimental, the green was a nice change up, but I still like the blue better.
Wonder if they ever considered using that sort of dark amber color that was on the original backing card for the Obi Wan figure. That would've looked pretty cool and wouldn't have clashed with the blue sky.
This is really well done. Although, if Luke's saber was blue in the film, all sabers would only be red and blue. Plus, they changed it to green because the blue version clashed with Tatooine's sky. I think it's better green, but this is really well done.
this is wat a blue lightsaber looks like in return of the jedi if lucas didn't changed luke's lightsaber to green. and if it happens instead of Luke being a first jedi with a green saber then Qui-Gon Jinn would end up being the first jedi with a green saber
@TypOPositiv yep, you can see in an early trailer (not sure if it also says revenge of the jedi although that was defiantly in some trailers), there's a blue saber in the tatooine battle. you can also see it's blue on the original posters.
green works so much better. i know that the sail barge scene on Tatooine is the given reason for the change. but to me, the contrast in the throne room is what really makes that scene pop. with a blue saber amid all the other blinking blue machinery, it makes the green that much more impressuve for the scene.
it actually was originally going to be a blue lightsaber but Lucas didn't like the way it looked in the tatooine scene against the blue sky so in the end he changed it to green, even though in the original poster it was blue
It would have been cool if they did tricks while they were fighting with lightsabers in 4,5, and 6. Just like they did in 1,2, and 3. Cause it looks a little weird when all they are doing is just hitting it like crazy.
Blue works fine - what people tend to mess up (and I've done this myself) is that it's supposed to be a blue 'glow' - not just a flat, ugly blue aura. The effect here really isn't a glow like you'd expect to see captured in a real camera. If I had the time I'd probably have a go at this myself, but the ideal result would be a 'cooler' or lighter blue, like the one you'd actually get from a light source in real life.
I think this is a neat little video and interesting fact about Luke's green vs. blue lightsaber. That being said, I really like Luke's green saber--it's different enough for you to recognize that Luke constructed a new saber and didn't somehow retrieve the old one off of Bespin--the general audience won't pay attention to the design of the hilt like us nerdy people. :) Plus, it's nice to have color variety. So, nice blue, but green will always rule.
Wow! This is great! Can you do something like maybe Anakin in AOTC during the Battle of Geonosis instead of a green lightsaber it is blue or Anakin vs Obi Wan with Anakin having a red lightsaber. Or, Mace Windu with a blue lightsaber, as he was supposed to have, but got purple.
@TheMartialartsJedi the movie was originally called revenge of the jedi but lucas changed the name at the last minute cuz he didnt want the jedi to sound evil and revengeful. so he saved the title for revenge of the sith which he had always planned to name episode 3 that
I wish that Lucas would have done something meaningful with his Star Wars special effects edits. Like somehow changing it so that Luke's lightsaber would actually cut the railing when it touched it. (During the Luke-Vader fight) With all the technology that we have today, it wouldn't be that hard to do, would it?
I was always enamoured with the green because we had only seen Blue and Red up untill this point and I felt it really went along with Luke as the "New Generaton" of Jedi. But it looks interesting. And yes it did clash with the Tatooine sky.
Well done, but tbh the end duel with luke and vader looks no where near as epic with a blue saber, so I think lucas made the right choice by making lukes lightsaber green.
I disgaree. I actually think it looks way better with blue. I heard the way it was suppsed to be was simply red for Sith, Blue for jedi but because the producers didn't like the contrast between the blue sky and blue lightsaber in the battle on Jaba's ship they switched Luke's saber to green. Apparently that's the only reason it's green and not blue. I could be wrong though.
Blue has always been my favorite color, so I was a little pissed off when I saw the movie and saw the green saber. But that's just me.
Actually, at first Lucas wanted to make Jedi = Blue, Sith = Red. And from there on, blue has been like the "good" color and red the "evil" color". If you think about, there has been tons of movies, series and cartoons that have follow that symbology.
The editing is cool, even though the "clash points" look a little off. Good job, though.
I Always thought that white was training lightsaber (lukes saber on the falcon) blue was padawan/apprentice green master/knight (luke was a jedi knight in jedi)
@FishfilmsInc His saber was actually blue, the technology just wasn't great. Really though, Blue is Guardian, Yellow is Sentinel, and Green is Sage(I used wrong words for sage, but couldn't think of it...)
i agree that luke looks awsome with the blue lightsaber but i prefer the green one she shade of it is amazing and its ignition sound is the best sound ever
I always felt blue saber = Jedi, red saber = Sith. Simple. No green, purple or any other color. Even if Lucas did want to give Jedi "cool" colors, then the Sith should have had all the "warm" colors (yellow, orange) not just red. Ah well, at least we can get a rough idea on what blue might have looked like.
I want to know the purpose of different lightsaber colors, at first I thought it reflected your wisdom of the force, Blue being lower then green, then my views seem to be shattered by KotOR, so i'm like, okay what??? I didn't understand, is it purely cosmetic? Like I want a green lightsaber or a blue lightsaber. Aside from red being pretty specific to the Dark Side, why are they different colors?
Personally, I think having a blue/green saber is basically just a cosmetic choice...with red being a choice to join the dark side. I don't really care what the computer games, etc., show - I only care about the movies. (The only Star Wars game I played all the way through was Shadows of The Empire for the N64)
the green lightsaber looks much better ;)

u can tell easily that this has been edited, the lightsaber connection hues mismatch the lightsaber colours

there is something special about a green lightsaber. Blue is a bit overrated and over used i think

I agree with you on that one.

It still clashes with the blue sky. That has nothing to do with technology. Blue lightsaber on blue sky is a no go.

Indeed. And since then Green blade (crystal) is called Jedi Consular. Which fits quite well actually. :)

Well done, but tbh the end duel with luke and vader looks no where near as epic with a blue saber, so I think lucas made the right choice by making lukes lightsaber green.

I disgaree. I actually think it looks way better with blue. I heard the way it was suppsed to be was simply red for Sith, Blue for jedi but because the producers didn't like the contrast between the blue sky and blue lightsaber in the battle on Jaba's ship they switched Luke's saber to green. Apparently that's the only reason it's green and not blue. I could be wrong though.

Blue has always been my favorite color, so I was a little pissed off when I saw the movie and saw the green saber. But that's just me.
Actually, at first Lucas wanted to make Jedi = Blue, Sith = Red. And from there on, blue has been like the "good" color and red the "evil" color". If you think about, there has been tons of movies, series and cartoons that have follow that symbology.
The editing is cool, even though the "clash points" look a little off. Good job, though.

I like the green lightsaber , but Luke looks more cooler with the blue when he's fighting his father.

Lucas changed the titled "Return" instade of "Revenge" because jedi don't take revenge.

I Always thought that white was training lightsaber (lukes saber on the falcon) blue was padawan/apprentice green master/knight (luke was a jedi knight in jedi)

actaully the lightsaber luke uses on the falcon is supposed to be blue since it belonged to anakin...but the rotoscoping in 1977 was a little off.

@FishfilmsInc His saber was actually blue, the technology just wasn't great. Really though, Blue is Guardian, Yellow is Sentinel, and Green is Sage(I used wrong words for sage, but couldn't think of it...)

i agree that luke looks awsome with the blue lightsaber but i prefer the green one she shade of it is amazing and its ignition sound is the best sound ever

I always felt blue saber = Jedi, red saber = Sith. Simple. No green, purple or any other color. Even if Lucas did want to give Jedi "cool" colors, then the Sith should have had all the "warm" colors (yellow, orange) not just red. Ah well, at least we can get a rough idea on what blue might have looked like.

I have to say, I believe the green is much more visually pleasing in the movie.

I want to know the purpose of different lightsaber colors, at first I thought it reflected your wisdom of the force, Blue being lower then green, then my views seem to be shattered by KotOR, so i'm like, okay what??? I didn't understand, is it purely cosmetic? Like I want a green lightsaber or a blue lightsaber. Aside from red being pretty specific to the Dark Side, why are they different colors?
Digman2012 2 years ago
Personally, I think having a blue/green saber is basically just a cosmetic choice...with red being a choice to join the dark side. I don't really care what the computer games, etc., show - I only care about the movies. (The only Star Wars game I played all the way through was Shadows of The Empire for the N64)
