Now, I know this is star wars and all. But honestly, that lightsaber looks full on herp derp. I mean in most cases, a lightsaber was pretty practical. A handle that was, well, easy to handle. And because of that, that gave a lot of flexability.Those two "sword catchers" on the side of that saber means that that particular sith fellow is going to be landlocked to a particular moveset big time. I'm aware that there are various styles of saber combat. But all of them are flexible and versatile.If that sith doesn't fight like a swordsman I call BS.
As if Star Wars was practical in the first place...
Why is everyone in denial about this being the real trailer?
So what does star-wars do to break the years of silence, and what's the very first impression?random black guy.
Fake.There are no black people in Star Wars.

Lightsaber looks awful but if you didnt get chills or at least excited than youre probably not a fan of Star Wars.

I've been excepting it to be awful ever since it's working title was revealed to be "An Ancient Evil Awakens".

"An Ancient Evil Awakens" was the tagline from the first Halo 4 teaser.
Eh, I am kinda skeptical about it being real.

A lightsaber already means no half-swording, but this outright prohibits many upper hilt holds and puts him at an even bigger risk of injuring himself if his sword is pushed back in a clash. Highly impractical for swordfighting, more so than a lightsaber already is.
