Star Wars Blu Ray Changes - Luke's Corrected Lightsaber

I'm assuming everyone's seen the "leaked" Blu Ray footage floating out there of Obi-Wan training Luke on the Falcon. Well, I took it and cut out all the filler just to showcase the saber - I didn't alter any colors or anything.

If this is indeed legit, it seems all Lucas did was technically "fix" what the DVDs had messed up. The parts that were blatant, green - he turned blatant, blue. (The 2 WIDE shots)

The rest of the scene is just the same ol' flickering, lightsaber effect that we all know - but with some minor remants of the DVD Error left behind (the green tinge).

These issues, apparently, were not deemed BLATANT enough to correct. Attention was seemingly only focused on color-correcting the 2 green WIDE shots.

For analysis purposes only. All footage owned by Lucas, ILM and Lucasfilm.

Ah, Lucas. He can take the time to put in new and unnecessary changes, but he can't take the time to fulfill the actual purpose of a re-mastered version: changing out the old CG effects with new ones that look better.

So, did the remote shoot first?

[MasterNinja1990]

No. And is it only me or have he aded stuff and made obi wan and luke seem like standing further away from the camera?

@JehudahRobots Middle aged nerds huh? I am 38 and saw this when I was 3 1/2 years old and I bet I could take you any day you piece of crap

[aquelescaraaaaaaaaaa]

Fuck my face, goddamn lucas, FIX THAT FUCKING LIGHTSABER!

even better, MAKE LUKE'S LIGHTSABER ACTUALLY CUT THINGS IN EPISODE SIX!

[Darkrider6970]

@Kleavers I don't understand why they don't fix shit like this either.

[Crinxin]

Does this really look better to anyone?

[JehudahRobots]

The lightsabers look like crap in this movie because Lucas knows all the millions of middle aged nerds who need to keep the movie exactly the way it was to feel like kids again would get pissed off by him improving them, so blame those lost childhood sobbing SOBs instead.

I'd want three cuts.

100% untouched.

Lightly and intelligently tweaked, like the lightsabers and blaster bolts and color and some visible mistakes removed carefully, take out Vader's eyebrows, and the Biggs scene can be added.

Then the third cut can have lots of stuff thrown in.
