Obi-wan's lightsaber switch

Light Saber Screw-up?

I think that ther may have been a "lightsaber switch" in the BIG duel.

The epic fight sequence between Obi-wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker (which was awesome) had a discrepency that has been bothering me (at least one I thought I saw.) During the duel in the control room of Mustafar, Anakin has temporarily overpowered Obi-wan and is pushing him to the ground. The camera changes angles several times and it appears (at least to me) that Obi-wan starts the sequence with Anakin's lightsaber close to his chest, has his own lightsaber in the following camera change and in the final camera change Obi-wan has Anakin's saber again. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I just seeing things. I think this can be seen in the movie, but also different tv ads and "A Hero Falls" music vid (about 2 minutes 35 seconds in).

Any insight to ease my insanity or the reason the scene is the way it is would be excellent.

yah there was a mistake though but i found one more while Obi-Wan and Anakin are on the elevator inside of Grevious' ship. but wat u were talking about maybe wen they both got their lightsabers kicked outta thier hands Obi-Wan used the force to get the closest lightsaber and that might have been Anakins cause i doubt when they were filming it there like "here lets switch lightsabers" so yah that might be and awnser to your question.
