At first I thought it is a parody/fake teaser.
When I saw the light saber ignite, I just
wished it would be a parody.
What a useless, impractical design that just yells:
"Quick, we need something new in the lightsaber department, any ideas??!"
"Yeah, why not give it a cross guard like medieval swords have, oh and make it look like a flaming sword, not just a laser...oh and make it orange, red isn't cool right now!"
"Awesome, let's ruin err do it! So kewl!"
Go home Abrams, you're drunk.
I bet SW8 will have a "rainbow" blade and/or a silver/black core lightsaber.
And yes, lightsaber design/appearance in SW IS important. Absolutely.
*sigh*
