It looks lile the yellow is the blade and the guy is useing force pull while at the same time was the blade coming back in to hand.
I kinda looked like a move of some kind... and what he said^
The yellow thing?? It's a lightsaber :rolleyes:
Haha well it does look weird, but it's a lightsaber held in a strange way, so you only see the bottomside of it...
That is throw like he said.
If it's the bottom of th saber....where's the hit? And I thoghut there was no Throw.
No, there will be throw in JA. Hehe... Pull + Throw has gotten into SP now :D
Im kinda disappointed that theya re adding visuals like that. The force is 'invisible' in most forms. Sadly the fact that people want eye candy overrules that and so we get red and blue glows :(
No one said it was invisible...
4-10-2003: I officially snorted a Pixy Stick. :lol:
THATS NO FORCE POWER, THATS THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE SABER TRAIL!! :eek:
Yes, well I dont' remember seeing a blue glow about yodas hand as he lifted the x-wing, nor a red glow around vaders hand and the poor admirals neck as he was choked.
The only reason they threw these in is for eye candy so that people who like to look at pretty glowing things will buy their game.
I find it intersting that they would put up a screenshot that is so confusing. There are a lot of interpretations of what's going on, but nothing I've heard is very satisfying yet. It doesn't look like a saber or a saber trail - and there's the big glow around the players hand - but the animation isn't what pull looked like in JO (maybe it's new - but it's kind of strange looking). It almost looks like the character has taken a swing at something. The question is - once we've played the game will the screenshot be any clearer?

;) Ooooohhhhhh ..... bluuuueeeeee .....
Seriously, though ... it is eye cansy, but it provides some feedback of what is going on, and I actually like that - things in the game are not exactly movie-like, nor should they be ... this is an action game, so I like the push/pull effects, and the visual warping of speed. I like the look of grip, with the red effect, and on one of my playthroughs I'll do the dark side and see what it looks like in action ....

Reprehence, on the big glow around his hand...thats his saber buddy. its possible it just returned from being thrown, cause they seem to glow brighter then (might also be why the enemy is jumping). viewed from below, all that you see of the saber is the glow which is normally not very bright because its spread across the entire blade, but from the bottom its a lot more concentrated, therefore brighter.
umm... you triple posted :D
I think it is the middle of a spinning move(like in the blue stance or somthin). But if its not, it might also be a new catch animation for sabre throw.;)
Am I the only one who noticed his force meter is full?
it looks like any of the thousands of jk2 pics I've seen where the saber gives off some weird effect if you take the pic at the right moment during the animation cycle.
I just don't understand WHAT the big deal is
It's obviously a new lightsaber attack, and at the exact moment the screenshot was taken, the lightsaber was pointed COMPLETELY straight, and you can obviously see the lightsaber trail following the blade.
The Reborn is simply jumping toward the jedi.
My guess is that's a spinning move with the dual sabers... His other arm is stretched, and I think he's holding another lightsaber in that hand. So he's just doing an ordinary spinning move... well that's what I think :)
No force destruction, no odd pull effect, no saber throw, just a normal spin :)
Elegant but Simple :D After I think about it, you could be right :) I think Lucas posted this mysterious screen shot to keep us guessing and to keep our interest. And so far, I think they have succeeded :p
Hmmm..... everyone is so sure of their own opinion and so dismissive of everyone elses. Interesting.
Anyway I brightened the pic by 30%. It is alot clearer now.
Who plays with the screen as dark as those screenshots? :cool:

OK, let me add to my quote then... It is so we, the gamers, can "analyse" it.
analyse
v 1: consider in detail and subject to an analysis in order to discover essential features or meaning
"fan boy" doesnt exclude you, griff. its a generalization applied to a group of people and doesnt distinguish between ages. and go ahead, analyze all the screenshots released on the game. you can come up with any number of assertions, comments, thoughts, or problems based on them; i cant stop you. i agree mostly with FK | unnamed.
the guy is just attacking and the reborn is just jumping towards him .belive me
And when u do grip it shows all your body in red like now not just ur hand

That's Right! You can't stop me! Muahahahaha ;) I only come up with a few though. The rest is generated by the community :)
I agree with HertogJan: It's a dual saber spin. The little line is the trail where the saber has been, and the bright round glow where the hilt is the "glow" of where the saber is now (completely opposite the camera view). It's a dual saber attack because you can see the hilt of the second lightsaber in the Kel Dor's right hand.

It just looks to me like he finished his attack and the enemy is just jumping forward... Or landing...
