Explain this shot then? Where Vader is obviously pointing the blade towards us. If it's not tapered then why doesn't it get BIGGER closer to camera?
Probably poor VFX production. Same as in the rest of the SE and prequel. Sub-par editing, compositing and computer generated images, even for their time.
But an interesting thing about those shots posted - it doesn't show that Sideshow got it right - it still shows they got it quite wrong. The sabers that closely match what's seen in the images are Hasbro's.
