I never saw it until people were like HERP DERP LENS FLARE now whenever I see the new Star Trek movies all I can see is the lens flare :-/

This thread is cancer.
The crossguard metal on the sith's claymore is probably made ofCortosis Weave. It is canon as it is in the new book, A New Dawn.
The blades coming out would most likely be for stabbing in close quarter combat, as the length of his blade limits him from the finer techniques of the lightsaber.
And speaking of techniques, the person who wields this won't be doing acrobatics, which is a specific Lightsaber combat form. There are different lightsaber forms, and a weapon like this won't be utilizing crazy moves. And to the people talking shit about the guy hurting himself on the crossguard? Really? A Jedi/Sith who practices, won't be fucking hitting themselves with it. Especially someone who is force sensitive.
That being said, I like it. I think it will bring new fights that don't involve jumping all over the place.

I'm the same way. The worst lens flare I have ever seen though was on the BSG Blood and Chrome pilot.

This is from a few pages back, but not one answered.
Second, thanks to you my wife now thinks star wars books are romance novels.
Oh and, I'll join in on the chimpout because the light crossguards look stupid as hell.
Superheated slugs of tibana gas.
First off, it wasn't really a twilight series, there were like 2 books with twilight in the title, Jedi Twilight and Planet of Twilight. I assume you're talking about Jedi Twilight because it was the first book in the Coruscant Nights series. I won't fill you in on it, but it was a pretty good series. Followed a jedi who escaped the purge at the end of episode 3.

Arndt, the screenwriter Lucas and Kennedy choose, was ousted or quitlast year, leaving Abrams and Kasdan to oversee it. Considering Kasdan's involvement with the original trilogy, it's probably not a bad thing that he was moved from consulting to writing. But really, so long as Lucas isn't doing the actual writing nor the directing, I don't think he'll be able to get too much of his stink on this trilogy. One of the biggest problems with the prequels was that Lucas decided to control every facet of the production and had no one to reign him in. In this case, he has the full weight of Disney on him to prevent his stupidity.

I'm not going to argue over pure conjecture. My only point is that the entire thing is made up pseudo-science anyway (laser + crystal + magnet = sword!!!), so they should have just made it a straight up cross lightsaber blade and left it at 'look, more magnet science!' instead of making it look nonfunctional and/or explaining shit away with more EU bullshit. I still have faith JJ won't pull a midichlorian fiasco, but it's still a valid critique that adding 'more shit' just because there needs to be 'more shit' serves no functional storytelling purpose, which is EXACTLY what got the prequels into trouble. If it were an original franchise or the prequels had never occurred I don't think anyone would give a flying fuck, but I imagine most most fans are still worried if not about George 'more shit' Lucas himself, at least his shittiness seeping into the movie.

I didn't notice it at all in either star trek, until people kept posting videos of the egregious scenes in a vacuum. Now when I watch them I notice it =/
I'm trying to watch Episode I for the first time in 10 years and I can confidently say that the 90-second teaser feels more "Star Warsy" than anything presented in this movie.
