Return of The Jedi – Blue Lightsaber Tests
Originally, Luke was supposed to have a blue lightsaber, but it clashed with the blue sky (on Tatooine), so Mr. Lucas changed it to green. Now, through the magic of technology, we can finally give Luke the blue lightsaber he deserves. “Return of The Jedi” copyright 1983 by LFL This was just a quick-n-dirty test, but it looks a lot better than I thought it would…but it still doesn’t look great. Any color you want can be be used. It’s passable, at best…but too obvious, at worst. Note: I know that the opening title says “Revenge of The Jedi”. I meant to make it “Return…”, but decided not to fix it.

Its strange how Luke’s Lightsaber has Resemblance of His two teachers… Green Blade of Yoda’s And Obi-Wan’s style of hilt…
@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
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.
Man, that was amazing. What software did you use to replace the green.

2 reasons
1: Maybe Luke didn’t want a exact copy out of respect for Obi-Wan (Star Wars Universe)
2: George Lucas was getting tired of showing Blue & red (Our universe)
@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…)
0:46 – 0:48
Luke: No thanks Dad
Vader: What the hell am i supposed to do with this?
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.
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.
hehe u should test other collors to like. Yellow Orange purple maybe red

Not bad…Personally, I think Luke looks better with the Blue Saber/Black Outfit.
Great job man, personally i thinki Luke looks better with the blue one
Awesome. I never liked the green lightsabers. Red and blue should be the only colors.
@RngrPhantomCLZ i think that was intentional on lukes part
@davnes007 Must have taken hours to make this video using that software.
@Paperagent02 — Well, not quite THAT long.
Look at 0:14
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.
when vader and luke lock lightsabers the glow is kinda green
Personaly I like the green better because the oppisite of green is red and that kinda shows you that the sith and the jedi are oppisites.
It’s like he stole Obi-Wan’s lightsaber lol.
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
@MST720 — I think that may have already been mentioned in another comment, but thanx for watching.
