I know, I mentioned that a few posts back.
So if there is a beam, why is there metal there to begin with?
Having that crossguard would also greatly limit one's maneuverability and choice of moves. Any move that brings the blade close to the user's body would have to be carried out with extreme care to make sure the crossguard blades aren't going to swipe them as well. The prequel trilogy style of fighting that would have the blade wizzing around one's head or behind the back couldn't be done. I'm sure many would be fine with that. Bring back the two handed, medieval knight original trilogy style.

I bet Han goes down in a blaze of glory in the Falcon.
Then in the third movie he returns cause fuck it it's Han fucking Solo.

Though I'm also coming around to the idea of the saber being too powerful and it's just stuff shooting out of the sides.
who would waste their time making that cut ?

But if he gets locked in a bind, and he's holding the hilt under the crossguard, the saber will like...melt the metal and it will drip over his fingers...

Except swords are multipurpose and gross guards are also used as a hammer or pick by grabbing the blade and singing the sword like a sledge hammer.

Ah, half-swording. Old dorks have tried staging practice fights to show how totally viable this strategy of sword fighting is and have taken "ow yes it hurts when you bash me with the cross guard" as proof that it's true, disregarding the fact that smashing solid steel of any shape into someone is going to hurt like a motherfucker.
I'm not sure if this was ever really something swords were meant to do by design or if the old illustrations demonstrating it are more meant to say "uh, hey, in a pinch you could try this."

I think they manage to keep the Falcon alive for the merchandising. Maybe Han takes someone out with a thermal detonator or Han shoots first bitches to save the day!

He'll join Chewy in smuggler heaven, assuming that Wookie's have shorter life spans. Do they?

It's the opposite. Chewey is like 200 years old or something.
I go with Princess Leia.

Exploding moons tend to shorten lifespans, yes.
Chewbacca is very much alive in this movie. And hasn't aged a day.
This was taken on set with Peter Mayhew in costume with Disney's CEO:

I don't get why people are so stuck on the "it's impractical for defense" thing. It would at least be somewhat helpful for defense, but more likely than not it's to give an opponent a nasty poke when you've locked swords with him or her.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I LET MYSELF GET SUCKED INTO THE HILT DEBATE. That's it, walking away from it now!
I guess it's a good sign that THAT, as silly as it is, is one of the main nitpicks from the trailer.

Leaked set footage of Hamill/Sith fight:
Kidding. Kidding. As much as I am skeptical about the claymore saber, I think the overall teaser was great. I love that it looks real and dirty with call backs to the OT. Hopefully the next trailer will shed light on the story.

Wait, do we know who Brianne is playing yet?
If Chewie and Han go out together... damn.Chewbacca is very much alive in this movie.

I don't want to feed the JW vs FA thing but Pratt and his biker gang of raptors is the goofiest thing I've ever seen. It takes a lot of cocaine to pitch that in a writers' meeting.

Probably posted a ton already but that new lightsaber is totally just Henry's from No More Heroes.
The debt has been repaid. (Seriously, Suda just did not give a fuck about stealing the lightsabres, sound effect and all. Travis' was great though.)
Can't remember exactly what happened but it was part of a funny skit in the Oscars.

It's ridiculous, but I love it. There's only one JP, but I think JW will be better than LW or JP3.

My guess? They die a heroes death together in the Falcon. (Falcon going down with them of course).
Not before Leia dying in hans arms.

This is Oscar Isaac, right?
He looks a little like Lee Pace in that shot.
Someone put Lee Pace in Ep. 8 pls.

This isn't Matrix Revolutions. If that happens, hopefully Leia dies faster than Trinity.

Yes.
What are the chances of Admiral Ackbar making a appearance?

Haha same.
He seemed pretty damn old in Return of the Jedi to me based on how he sounded/acted, I wonder if he had another 30+ years of life in him.

Maybe we'll see his tadpole make an appearance in the new trilogy. Believe!
-leia dies in han's arms (start the force theme here)
-han and chewie decide to go out in a final blaze of glory, taking out the film's big bad on their own (the force theme playing throughout)
-a hooded figure watches the demise of the millenium falcon from afar. he pulls off the hood: it's luke skywalker (music swells aaaaand cut to credits)
Based on his age at the time, highly unlikely. Then again, who am I to comment Calamari lifespans?
However, I can see a scene happening where an old officer is recounting old war stories at a bonfire going like "And then he yells 'It's a trap!".

The cross guard is especially superfluous because it's been shown through all six films that lightsabers "bind" when struck together, they don't slide past each other, so you can't slide a strike down an opposing lightsaber to the opponent's hands.

This just screams Adam Driver to me.
I dunno. I think it's the tall, lanky waddle at the beginning of the shot...
