Corrected entry: Just before Obi-Wan and Anakin begin their duel, Obi-Wan says "I will do what I must." and removes his lightsaber from his belt. As he is raising his arm above his head he "flicks" the lightsaber hilt as if he has just activated it. Anakin then says "You will try", and Obi-Wan then activates his lightsaber. Obviously it was decided that Obi-Wan should wait until after Anakin delivers his line for Obi-Wan to activate his lightsaber and the timing was simply switched, leaving an awkwardly long time for Obi-Wan to stand there holding a lightsaber in the air that isn't turned on.

Corrected entry: When Palpatine, Anakin, and Obi-Wan are in the elevator tracks, they jump from the elevator coming down, shoot out a grappling hook then they all go through the door onto the floor of the hallway. They all go in at an odd pace. Palpatine gets thrown into the hallway first, then Obi-Wan and Anakin. But really they should all be getting thrown in at the same time, since only Anakin and Obi-Wan have the grappling hooks and Palpatine is holding onto Anakin's leg, which he should be influenced by him, and get thrown at the same time.

Correction: The way he flicks his lightsaber in his hands doesn't really reveal anything. Nor is it a mistake for him to produce his lightsaber like that. The idea that a decision was made to make the lightsaber go on later is just guesswork and the scene doesn't reveal that at all.
