I notice some of you in that thread are hatting on it becasue of the beams coming from the sides. If anything those are there as hand guards. If you look at some swords and knives like the UNSC they have a piece of metal sticking out to the sides. That's there to protect your hand. So those beams would be the light saber version of that.

It's impractical and looks retarded, and the lightsaber doesn't even glow right. It looks like a lighter about to whimper out

Hand guards on a real sword don't cut your hands off if you brush against them.

I know what they are there for but you'd have to have a pretty good grip to make sure you didn't accidentally roast your fingers on it ._.

Hand guards on a real sword don't cut your hand off if you brush against them.
Usually a light saber is going up against another light saber so a normal piece of metal is going to be useless for a guard. In Star Wars Legacy those Imperial Knights to have gauntlets that are light saber resistant but that type of metal might be rare or hard to make.

So there's literally no point to have them then. Those hand guards are more dangerous and impractical for the user than they are for the enemy.

Because Star Wars is all about practicality, right?

Having your armor set one color for no matter the environment is even more impractical and retarded. Hell the helmets are as well. The eye visors are way too limited. The visor should be the same size as the one on the helmet the Master Chief wears.

Look closely, there is an inch or two of the hilt that is part of the lightsaber handle, unless he's a total clumsy cunt then I don't see a problem. I rather like the new design, it looks like a sci fi bastard sword, not a super long glowstick.

I also like it. It makes sense to have that guard simply because a lightsaber is a sci-fi version of a sword. Since a lightsaber was going up against other sabers it makes sense for it to be designed for that.

How would they work as a hand guard though, if another lightsaber blade comes down on it, it would just slice through the emitter that is producing these hand guard things. There is metal in star wars immune to lightsabers of course, but then it would just be easier to make the handguards entirely out of that metal anyway.

Yes it could slice the metal part off but there still is the chance it comes down on the beam.

>bashing sci fi armor

Camo colors wouldn't even matter that far in the future, and the tech they have make up for OMG SMALL VISORZ LOL. Face it, the new saber is autisticly retardedly super homo fag nigger gay

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
Love life; but take nothing too seriously.
I'm surprised this is an issue with people. Then again I've never been a huge Star Wars fan.

Hand guards on a real sword don't cut your hands off if you brush against them.
If you look there is a small piece of metal at the base of the hand guards, which I figure would be to stop that from happening.

Why wouldn't they? If your active camo goes down you're now a giant white target in a forest. It makes sense having your armor designed for that environment.

It sure did when the Empire got their asses handed to them by teddy bears using logs as weapons.

Tell me what would be easier to see out of. This or this. With the MC helmet you would have a far greater area of vision than the stormtrooper helmet. With the trooper helmet you're still seeing out of those small ass eye visors. If they have a motion tracker it still isn't going to be much use when your field of vision is shit.

It looks more practical and safer than these ones.

Isnt it the same on a normal lightsabre?

The point of a cross guard is to protect the user from accidentally slipping their hand onto their own blade, not defend against another one.

Somewhat, but you only have to be concerned with one 'blade' <.<
Although the double sided lightsabre was stupid enough >.>

I imagine the user will be using mostly a two-handed fighting style.

Indeed, that just sounds downright insane.
Most of the whip-based fighting styles I've seen (All two of them >_____> ) at some point involved the cord touching the user, such as coiling for a strike. I guess it's possible, but it's a reaaaaaally hazardous weapon to use <.<

I, for one, kinda like it. It's different and makes the Sith unique.

Yet again I am the one who has the most unpopular starwars opinions.

I agree with OP.
The saber in the trailer looks kinda like a long sword or broadsword style weapon.
You have to remember that using a sword like that would require a difference in tactics such as more power attacks/ slower more methodical ways of fighting.
Couple that with whoever is using it must have trained in ways that are tailored to that particular weapon thereby making it a very small chance he will mess up with the fundamentals of handling it.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
Is history repeating itself or am I psychic or some shit, because I have fucking seen this kind of thread before, and now it's bothering the hell out of me.

Yeah... no. Hollywood swordfighting gets you killed every single time.
