Double bladed lightsaber was a gimmick, sure, but it was a gimmick that at least made the movie fucking watchable. If you think Phantom Menace was bad, imagine that movie WITHOUT that fight scene...I don't mind the idea of a hilt... but made out of the same material as the handle. I dunno, having little mini-light sabers for a hilt just screams the same crazy gimmick crap from the prequels (Double blade, Yoda going Tasmanian devil, etc). The shots of the Falcon and the Tie fighters battling it out and the X-Wings over the water was cool as hell, but then each time I keep going back to that saber, and losing my excitement.
Because it's a movie? And fuck anyone who thinks that light saber looks cool. It looks like shit. Abrams is about to take a giant dook all over the Star Wars franchise.Actually, the "soccer ball" droid makes complete sense for a desert sand environment. NASA has actually toyed with the idea of "ball rovers" for Mars because of the advantages in movement there. I mean think about it for a second: How exactly did R2D2 get around Tatoonie with his tiny little treads/legs? People bitch about a light greatsword, but are willing to look past the fact R2D2 couldn't have navigated the sand unless he flew around (which he did in the prequels, but never did in the originals)?
Wasn't that adressed in some of the old comics/books? That the galaxy seems to go in cycles of Jedi/Sith rule, and that the balance of the force is shifting between these two. Thus Anakin really did bring balance to the force in that a cycle of Jedi rule ended.yeah, that was one of the really dumb elements of the prequels. nothing was shown the force was out of balance in the first place. unless it was clearly in favor of the Light side, considering they hadn't even seen a Sith lord in like 500 years.
It looks like the front of the original land speeder turned on it's side.That's pretty fucking funny. I told my wife that it's the SUV of speeders. No idea why it's that big. Maybe because it's a woman driving it.
Yeah me too.When I saw the Spaceballs dude and the soccer ball droid I thought it was another fan made trailer. It just seemed like a joke.
Could it be any bigger than the one Lucas took on my childhood over the last 15 years? Anything that JJ Abrams contributes will be an improvement over the shit sandwich we've been made to endure during those fucking prequels.Because it's a movie? And fuck anyone who thinks that light saber looks cool. It looks like shit. Abrams is about to take a giant dook all over the Star Wars franchise.
One thing that has been pretty consistent has been Tattooine being a technological backwater that always showcases faded tech, it would make sense.That's pretty fucking funny. I told my wife that it's the SUV of speeders. No idea why it's that big. Maybe because it's a woman driving it.
A lightsaber crossguard is also really dangerous to the person holding it. Don't just take my word for it; The Washington Post weighed in on the issue after I called out the design on Twitter, and asked master bladesmith Kevin Cashen about it. "That would be very bad to have around your hand," Cashen tells the Post. "That hilt would just take you apart if you started to do a lot of complex spinning.
"You'd be in grave danger of searing yourself," Cashen says."
Seriously. A bunch of whiny faggots bitching about aesthetics in this thread.If you didn't bust chub when the Falcon rolled up and the music kicked in your opinion about the trailer doesn't mean jack shit to me and a lot of people in this thread.
Lol people asking bladesmith about a fucking lightsaber in a movie.. Where guys move shit with their minds and he's putting stock in "That hilt would just take you apart if you started to do a lot of complex spinning".
That V shape would be a nice style.
