Seriosuly though, I'm sure J. J. Abrams and his focus on special effects fits this project like a glove. (and maybe now he can stop butchering Star Trek )

I saw the medievil light sabre thing and just shook my head.....

Y'know, after the Star Fleet's standard issue lightsaber "retractable energy" katanas I didn't even blink at those. But it wouldn't suprise me in the least if a character with lightsaber nunchaku is planned for the sequel.

Loved all the the images posted on imgur about the trailer

I saw the medievil light sabre thing and just shook my head.....

Much head shaking indeed.
It's a nice idea to have a hand guard on a sword since blades slide down each other and that necessitated the evolution of hand guards to protect hands...but this hand guard lacks the 'lightsaber' bit at exactly the points that require the lightsaber bits. The meeting point of the blade and cross-guard.

Good idea with an idiotic execution.

Add to that that Lightsaber combat is entirely based on Japanese swordsmanship and the clean lines of the tradition lightsaber were essentially an expression of sword mastery since no handguard was required at all.

The addition of this Longsword with a cross-guard is just a bizarre choice.

Then again when one realizes that we are debating the relative effectiveness of a sci-fi weapon one needs to remember to step back and suspend disbelief and all that. If it is used cinematically and is entertaining I can forgive it. Even if it is completely impractical and silly.

Technically leaps and bounds more practical than those stupid double bladed lightsabers from the prequels (prequels said in the tone of tapeworms).

[Mattorious]

You know, everyone's complaining about the cross-saber, but honestly I'm okay with it. Also remember that it doesn't necessarily have to be practical, he's a sith-freakin-lord! The likely explanation is that he just wants into inspire fear into all that oppose him.

My two cents.

In my opinion the teaser is really awesome and I want to see the movie right now. I mean right fucking now.

I also like the new lightsaber if it's one of a kind, like the siganture weapon of the new sithlord (or maybe protagonist?), just because you need massive skill to not cut your own hands of.
But the best thing in the teaser is no doubt the ball droid in scene 2. No sarcasm, I love this little body, not the new R2-D2, but...maybe the new C-3PO 

Did I mention that I want to see the film right now?


I want to see it right now.

So we've got Disney following Extended Universe, hence the black stormtrooper THE THIRD ONE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE
and Great Lightswords?.. Since sabres don't have handguards.

All in all, I'm not too worried about it, It's looking pretty good so far, let the hype commence!


Edit ; Star wars episode 7, George Lucas Edition Where'd My URL go?..
