Jent, i think the guy wielding it has enough training to use it without cutting himself. And they had to come up with some sort of protection,i mean, jedis kept getting their hands cut off... they could've just made a regular crossguard out of Cortosis, but there's the cool factor to be considered.
Ps: and rygar, yes!!! I knew there was something to that scene thanks for the reminder
I FELT IT. And I'm happy I didn't go to Regal North Theaters which was one of the selected places that showed it yesterday because it would have been awkward. They said people screamed like little girls or little boys I know I did when I saw it. Lightsaber crossguard aside, all I've got to say is: IT'S ON BITCHES!

If you didn't have a gigantic goofy smile on your face, when the Millennium Falcon appeared on screen with John Williams magical score pumping out the speakers, then you're a heartless bastard. Fact!

Yep, blows your mind! We'll see, Negative Nancy!!!
This though makes me sad. Stormtroopers are clones but no one says they have to be all after he same person who knows how many years later! Bet it was Linda who complained!!! PURISTS EVERYWHERE!
During the clone wars all troopers were clones, but the years that followed the ranks were filled with regular joes.
I thought storm troopers were just regular humans until the shitstain prequels came out. Then I thought all troopers were clones, which raised some inconsistencies in the first (much better) movies. I believed Lucas was retconning again, trying to tone down the violence in the first (much much better) movies. "See? It's OK that all those dudes got blasted, they were barely human!" Thanks for clearing it up, Don.
Han shot first.

GL failed when he involved Boba Fett in the clone making process. It would have been cooler to just have him wear the clone armor as opposed to actually be a clone.
Clones are unstable and their erratic behavior in the early years of the Empire is what lead to more birth born Stormtroopers. Eventually the birth born troopers became majority.
I read that in the Expanded SW Universe there was also an attempted clone mutiny where newly hatched clones were going to rebel against the Empire. Palpatine found out and quashed it. However, the act caused Palpatine to lose trust in the clones ability to remain loyal and the Empire started recruiting birth born troopers.
Basically trying rationalize GLs inconsistency.

Hahaha it only had like 60 seconds of footage between the blackouts, but man...that alone was better than the entire prequel trilogy horseshit.
NOW I WANT THE FULL TRAILER!
I loved that teaser! I was a "negative Nancy" but when I saw it, wow! How fun, can't wait. I also like the lightsaber that looks like a broadsword, very cool. Something the same but a wee bit different.

Lightsabers are cool as fuck. If they could just come up with the tech to have a machine that shot little light sabers at their targets that would be even cooler. Call them "micro light throwers" or something. I dunno.

I was thinking that too, and the light sabre dude looks like Adam Driver. I just realized we saw a Star Wars teaser and we didn't get to see any actual "space."
The new Sith is a pussy. Guarding his/her hand like that from dismemberment. What's next? Have tiny care bears throw rocks at Stormtrooper armor and have knock them out?

Driver seems like a good bet to be the Sith but I have a sneaky suspicion it might be our own Gwendoline Christie. Just look at the size of the person, plus you'd think she was choosen because of experience with swords (stop stommening in the back!)

Yesterday I watched the War Stars despecialized (?) first movies. I mean, the old ones. I don`t cuuuuuur, still love them very much.
I have no interesting in the others at all.

I don't know much about Driver actually. The only movie I distinctly remember him from was Lincoln where he plays the telegraph operator. I haven't seen "Girls" or any of his other movies. Serkis is a different animal. Seen his work but all his bigger roles have lots of CGI or make up so him being the older Sith won't be so much of a difference
I am wowed. They will make a Star Wars VIII. Here is the link. Tried to copy paste the part. Too difficult switching between windows on this thing. All the way at the bottom. That one comes out in 2017. www.cbc.ca/news/arts/star-wars-collection-available-for-digital-download-streaming-on-friday-1.3023197 also super excited for all the bonus materials we'll get! Obviously, it means I'm joining the digital era. (I'm still keeping the SW tapes though!!!)
Look. There's a dude taking his helmet off and panting. And crouching in a hallway panting. And taking his stormtrooper helmet off in the desert. He is, yes, panting yet again.
I have low hopes for this one. I may see it.

The Force is strong in my family! I have it (see a robotic hand), my father has it (see the melted Vader helmet), my sister has it too (see Leia's hand!) I thought that was enough but then Han motherf**ing Solo shows up I think I'm going to have a mental breakdown come December
Harrison looks ridiculous but that's to be expected. I will say I'm optimistic that this will capture the swashbuckling excitment of the first films. It still seems that they are going to sacrifice quality/original writing and decent acting for the sake of a thrill ride. If that's the case, then it will fit right in with the first films! I need to hear/see more scenes of dialogue however.

I fear you may be correct. The writing and acting will be bland and lifeless. I just hope we get fat slave Leia.
Anyone else annoyed with the zoom in shot after the Falcon goes Into the Star Destroyer? It looks cheesy.

I should file a formal complaint because Atreyu and Ry are NOT ALLOWED to team up. Ever. Not ever. Ever. To bash SW, Cubbies or Martin's not yet published TWOW It's bad enough when one is on the roll...
