Lightsaber Ignition Sounds

Oooh, that's the explanation. I always watched that duel puzzeled as to why Kenobi's lightsaber kept shorting out, while Vader's glowed strong (and pink ). I just figured it was due to bad special effects or something in the 70's. Has Lucas ever talked about that? cause it is something that he should explain.

 

I always thought encore for Timothy's Zahn's perspective on the lightsaber sound of ignition --- Snap-hiss. That's one way of putting it.

But I agree generally all blade's vary in the way they sound, especially in what movie and what certain Jedi or Sith.

qui-gon-kim: And I don't necessarally find the explaination believable. A lightsaber is a lightsaber, a Sith blade - if it's artificial or not can't slice through another beam of pure energy.

<[-]> Saber

 

Well anyways, in ep3 whatever red blade we see will most likely have a deeper sound to it again. I hope,cause i thinks it's cool.

 

Most likely we'll see Vader's red so it will have those familiar sounds of his lightsaber we heard in the OT.

 

I guess we will see dooku's again.

 

I just figured it was due to bad special effects or something in the 70's.

Well, that's pretty much what it is And they didn't correct it for the Special Editions either.

This whole 'Sith blades breaking Jedi blades' malarky is all smoke 'n' mirrors, a nice little attempted cover-up
