    LED may have a brighter glow
    but the el is more realistic to the movies because in the movies theres no brighter/lighter part in the saber
    i have seen alot of pictures of led and it seems like the bottom is alot brighter than the rest of the saber

    I think we all know it's a poster. More correctly, it's an "artist rendering", with obvious artistic liscense and flair.

    Obiwan's saber in that EPII poster is pretty much what a Luxeon blade looks like. Apparantly, when an artist envisions a lightsaber, it has a flare at the base. Oddly enough, that's exactly how I always envisioned one, which is why I like Luxeon blades.

    Exactly, posters are by artists and the films were done by techies. They see a rod and rotoscope it. Adding the flare never crosses their minds. I think it's much more in the spirit of Lucas originally wanting saber fighting to be slower and the power of the sabers apparent to have the flare.

    Yeah, you also notice that in the movies, the light from the saber doesn't shine on the Jedi played by live action actors. IE, Anakin's blue blade doesn't shine blue light on him. But when you see the CGI Jedi (like Yoda) you can see the green light from his saber lighting up his face. And when you watch the Clone Wars animated scene, the sabers light up the Jedi Council room when they knight Anakin, but Darth Vader's and Luke's saber don't light up the Emperor's throne room on the death star.

    Those rotoscoping techies don't always get eveything right. I'm sure Lucas intended for lightsabers to flare at the base like the posters and other movie art. We're just making it a reality.

    i dont think lucas wanted them to flare at the bottom
    but in the clone wars it was dark/pitch black of course a saber would light up the room (especially all those)

    The next time I'm over for dinner I'll ask him. But honestly, if he didn't want the sabers to be brighter at the bottom, why did he allow his artists to draw them that way?
