Episode III prop mistake

Set: The final duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin.

Issue: When Anakin grabs Obi-Wan by the throat, keep an eye on the saber hilt. When the camera changes to an Anakin closup, you see Obi-Wan's hilt. The camera then changes views and you see it is Anakin's hilt that Obi-Wan is holding. WTF!!!

Hey George, can we get a version 1.1 next year?

It was well-made, at least in my opinion. I watched the whole DVD showing behind the scenes work on Star Wars Episode III and noticed how they put so much hard work into it. They made silly mistakes that they even pointed out on the DVD. There was a great load of teamwork involved though, and I mean a great load.

Anyway, I won't spoil it for those that haven't seen that and plan to. But it's interesting to watch. :)

Episode 3 was a well made movie, I think. A technical wonder as were all the prequels. If you think not then you shoulda been around when people thought ep 4 was fancy stuff.

I don't always agree with George Lucas' movie ideas but the man can put a project together that's for sure.

The fact that a small mistake like that was noticed surely proves what a popular film it is. That or what a truly badly made film it was! >_>

Actually, I never noticed it until I was skipping through the movie recording some wavs. I happen to see that part and I was like WTF!!! I am at peace with it though because of what was said below that at one point they had eachother's sabers. Directors do look for performance before anything. It is actually the job of another person to catch things like that.

Yeah i never nitpick to seriously with films and tv shows, most make errors somewhere, often with continuity, but i just enjoy them for what they are. :)

That's true. There are TV programs that highlight mistakes made in movies, but I've never noticed them beforehand. We all make mistakes, and when you're making a big, long movie with as much work as Star Wars has had put into it, you're bound to make at least one mistake. We shouldn't be picky, but it's interesting to know. :)

i also didnt like that the sabers that general grevious had were all copies of obi-wan's and anakin's hilts, made it look stupid that they didnt bother to make extra props, like the other jedi that grevious had killed were incapable of making original designs.

I'm surprised Lucas didn't see it and just digitally insert the correct one. Afterall that's all he wanted the actors and physical props for; just to move them around in the editing progrmas.

Yeah I noticed that when I watched it, it ruines it a bit I think. I read an interview where that fault was discused and they said that there was a chunk of the fight in that room cut out where sabers where swaped and swaped back. With all the digital technology at George's disposal you think they could have fixed it in post production.
Oh an the same thing happen's in the Mace v Sidious fight, at one point Sidious has Anakins saber it very quick but you can see it.
