I actually like the new lightsabre. Reminiscent of some huge knight sword rather than, say, a katana. I mean they are knights after all.

This is going to be really silly but the laser part of the crossguard comes after a metal part... which could be sliced off just fine which makes it pointless. Or if the metal part of the guard is magic lightsaber resistant metal then why have part of it be laser in the first place?

I know I'm taking it way too seriously though. Movie will probably be pretty good and I'm excited for it.

That's apparently the real story behind all the special editions. He wanted to change the editing enough that he wouldn't have to pay her royalties because he's a triflin' little bastard

I came away from that trailer with no impressions whatsoever. There was a time where I hadn't seen that trailer and now there is a time where I have, and that is about all that has changed.

A movie about Star Wars is being made. Okay.

I hope the LAAT Gunship from the prequels makes a comeback in Imperial livery. It's such a cool, heavy duty dropship design and deserves a place right up there alongside the X-Wing, Mil Falcon, etc in terms of SW ships.

Agreed, these things were pretty awesome. In fact, Clone Troopers were the coolest part of the prequels.

The part where he talks about the ideas of the Separatists using clones and all of a sudden having this huge army and the Republic having to emergency draft citizens and it bankrupts planets trying to quickly mobilize a military to defeat them and worlds are ruined and eventually the people are ready for just anyone who will save them and the Empire forms. That sounds way cooler and better than the poo poo Lucas put out and it makes me mad it couldn't be made that way.

obviously what people really wanted to see was two bad actors in a romance that made no sense reading the most awkward lines ever written in the history of cinema to one another.

Um...a main character (who happens to be black, certainly new for a black person to lead a Star Wars movie...if he is) in shock in the middle of a desert in Stormtrooper armor (probably crashed after being shot down by the Falcon), new female character with a tank-like speeder bike, a roller droid, A LIGHTNING SABER (WITH LASER HANDLE)!!!!!!! Lack of originality? The only things not new are the Falcon, X-Wings (even then redesigned), and Stormtroopers (again, redesigned). That's pretty great for 88 seconds, they still want iconic original imagery early on to get in the casual crowd.

loved it; those new x-wings skimming the water? Epic! The acting, the sense from the few character close ups we get that there is a palpable tension, there are high stakes; great. The fleeting shots of storm troopers getting ready to disembark; also epic.

Now to the lightsaber; I think I'm in the minority here, but I really like it. Lucas talked about a lightsaber being difficulto to wield, like Excalibur, due to the energy flowing through it; I think it's obvious that this is a direct nod to that idea. Also, we don't know know yet how this factors into the story. If the rumors are true that the main baddie is obsessed with Sith relics, then this could very well be a very ancient (thousands of years old) lightsaber that he's collected, harkening back to a more "medieval" time in the Jedi/Sith struggle. It makes sense stylistically for this to be true; the side blades, presumably to prevent hands getting chopped off in close combat, and the blade itself; longer, a more frenetic, unfocused, and unrefined flicker, as if the technology were still in its relative infancy.

Give it a chance, people; this is 88 seconds of an unfinished film, not desiged to give us plot; only to excite, to let us know that we are entering simultaneously familiar and unknown territory. I'm confident JJ is getting it right.
