Corrected entry: During the fight between Anakin and Count Dooku, there's at least one shot where a lightsaber's shadow is visible on the floor. You see a shadow because they use a stick during the filming and later add the special effect.

Correction: Throughout the series of films, there are numerous shots where a lightsabre blade is seen to cast a shadow. As we don't know anything about the energy used to create the blade, we cannot say that it shouldn't cast a shadow, not least at the blades aren't translucent, meaning they definitely block light in some way.

Corrected entry: How is Obi-Wan able to see Anakin pledging allegiance to Palpatine on the hologram, since it happened in Palpatine's office, not the Jedi temple? The only thing he would have been able to see is the massacre of the younglings.

Correction: It is a completely different scene that Obi-Wan sees than the one in Palpatine's office. In the one Obi-Wan sees Palpatine is complimenting Anakin on killing the Jedi not giving Anakin his name or doing any of the stuff that happened in Palpatine's office. It's plausible once Palpatine knew the temple was clear of Jedi, he met Anakin there.
