The lightsaber thing was indeed retarded as gently caress but as someone who gave up on Star Wars around Episode II I'm more amused by the people bending over to try and excuse it as "just stupid silliness" because they can't bear to admit that even 1% of this trailer might be dumb. I mean I like plenty of poo poo that I'll defend and rationalize but when it comes to the genuinely stupid or lovely aspects of them I'll own that full stop, but all I've been seeing on the internet are people :goonsay:-ing the lightsaber or people rushing breathlessly to its defense because :qq: OH MY GOD NEW STAR WARS :qq: .

I thought the trailer looked interesting and some bits seemed weird.
You seem kinda invested in self-hatred. Just saying.

Guys this imaginary energy sword powered by religion and crystal is just TOO unbelievable.

Floating pink force elephants making GBS threads out jar-jars.
Ewoks fly battle kites through a desolate moonscape as the screen fades to a sixties acid segue.
Birds appear on screen, only to be replaced by animated Keebler elves loving.

Haha guys Star Wars is so dumb, nerds just LOVE that poo poo, god.

Now, let me explain how obviously impracticable this lightsabre design is.

You're a good man for scouring the internet for nerd quotes - ironically yet appropriately named 'a starwar betamax'.
I know the material is hard to come by, but you're doing it consistently.
