EYUP!!! Seems like that! Once the trailer comes out, so does the hate from it's overrated fans!

Dat saber

I've heard a lot of people bitching about this, about how stupid the little cross-guard is, but thinking about it, this actually makes sense to me. Even ignoring the recent junking of the entire Star Wars expanded universe, which is a fan-rage rant for another day, just sticking to the properties of lightsabers as laid out in the movies and in Clone Wars, there are no physical materials that are light saber proof, only a handful of very rare materials that are light saber resistant and even those won't hold up to multiple direct strikes. The only thing that consistantly defends against a light saber, is another light saber and if you want a crossguard on your lightsaber, that will protect your hand during a saber-fight, this is really the only thing that will work.

You want silly Lightsaber design? Go look at Star Wars Rebels and its Sorta-Kinda Sith Lord, with his twin six-bladed sabers and tell me which looks the more rediculous.

A lot of people need to understand how J.J. Does his movies. Look to His last Big Hit "Pacific Rim" For the amazing work this man can do. Just give it a chance and remember its still over a year away and teasers really if ever have what they show on the final product.
