The top of Vader's helmet is longer than it was in the OT. I don't like the change.

I don't think it is. Here is an OT pic that looks to have the same head height.

It looks that way because the picture is squashed.

That's probably it. It's only a little longer, but it stood out enough for me to notice. The distortion would explain that.

Yeah, those pictures are from an anamorphic source, so they haven't been stretched back out to normal. Same thing was going on with a lot of screenshots over at Millennium Falcon from the OT DVD rips, except that none of them seemed to notice it.

Wow, Hayden is really starting to look like Mark Hamill.

EDIT: Has anyone noticed that Anakin is using a red lightsabre, yet he doesn't appear to be wearing his Sith uniform seen on the SW site?

Intriguing.

It's probaly that color so it would stand out better from the greenscreen, since Obi-wan is using red also.

Possibly, but on the ones with the blue background Obi- Wan is holding a green lightsabre.

My point was that can't assume anyhing from color prop lightsaber blade color, since it's nothing more then a computer/actor aide. (red on blue backround looks black when looked at from distance and could be confused with the set itself.)

Besides, Hayden used a red lightsabre prop in filming AOTC as well, according to a making-of feature. It was an obvious inside joke and if you don't get it, you aren't that big of a Star Wars fan to begin with.

Sabre rod colour doesn't correlate to sabre blade colour whatsoever. They just use whatever contrasts best with other sabre rods and the background.

Has anyone been following the www.millenniumfalcon.com Episode III databank? Look at some of the entries-

CLONEGUNNER:
CLONE GUNNER
Imperial Trooper

Clone Gunners take command of the large gunports on the Star Destroyers during the battle over Coruscant.

Why? Why Clones?

Vymp, have you any idea of the credibility of this site?

Just wondering because on their forums they have a report about the OT on DVD. Looks interesting.

It *seems* credible. The OT DVD screens would be hard to fake.

In my view, they are very reliable, so I´d take those things as fact.

What´s wrong with having clones for gunners in that particular battle?
