    Look closely. When they're on Geonosis, and the Jedi were rescued by Yoda's calvary, we see some of them back up into the gunships. If you watch if frame by frame, you can see at one point Ki-Adi-Mundi's blade is green. Then, if u keep watching, it becomes blue. Wtf!?!?! Any thoughts on this???

    It's like those mood rings they had back in the '70s. It changes color, depending on how he's feeling.

    You should see what it does when he stands too close to Aayla Secura. ;)

    movie mistake... really, you can argue that he lost his saber and took another one from a dead jedi, or bla bla bla... but it's just a movie mistake...

    He probably lost his blue saber, temporarily picked up a green, lost that, then got another blue.

    :p Why in the heck was Obi whining about Anakin loosing his lightsaber on Coruscant during a high-speed chase? And here I thought Ki-Adi was a vaunted Jedi Master...

    Well his lightsaber was probably taken from him when he and Plo were captured on the droid control ship and he picked one up from a dead Jedi when he was returned to the arena. Would have made sense if only they hadn't cut the whole control ship thing.

    lhasgalen, your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them.

    Remember, the force can have a strong influence on weak minds. ;)

    no Qu_Klaani it's that he enters the arena with a blue saber, and leaves onboard of a gunship with a green saber... or vice versa, don't remember

    His lightsaber is dealing with an identity crisis. That's all :D

    Darth-Dude, he enters the arena with one saber, does the whole treade fed control ship thing, gets captured and is returned to the arena, and then picks up a new one. Like I said it would have made sense if the scene hadn't been cut.

    Ah, I thought this was reffering to how his lightsaber changes colour from the beggining, nevermind. We could either make up some silly excuse, or see it as a movie mistake and pay it no attention.

    Considering they had to animate over 2,000 effects shots, I think its understandable that they would make a few mistakes.

    ILM probally didn't even notice the mistake.

    if jedi keep losing their lightsabers so often, they are incompetent...

    You've never dropped an object before?

    I don't know why but even though I'm a SW fan, I've never cared for one second about the color of any character's light saber. Can someone explain this obsession to me?

    Perhaps he has a duel-phase lightsaber like Corran Horn, only without the changing length

    In response to the one reply about how it changes when he stands next to Secura, [face_laugh] [face_laugh] [face_laugh] LOL, LOL!!!!!!! Anyway,back to logics, I think it was a movie mistake as well, but it is possible that he lost it.

    I saw it too. In the time that it happened he wouldn't have had time to lose the first one, get another one(different colour), then lose it and get another one the original colour as his first one. The colour changed when he was helping to protect Padme when they were still in the circle.

    When they are in the circle he's on one side and Anakin's on the other side protecting her from stray bullet shots. When she's going towards the gunship Mace Windu is also protecting her from blaster shots.
