I liked a lot of things about this teaser. But yea, the lightsaber is stupid.
Agreed. The flamesaber just looks wrong for Star Wars.

One more concern. The original trilogy worked because for the most part it didn't feel like it was following franchise rules or had to showcase the cool stuff.
It was driven by good characters and a classic plot, already this trailer seems more focused on franchise tropes - lightsabres, x-wings, Millenium Falcon- than characters and plot.
I hope it's just because its a teaser and they want to placate those who look for those elements above the actual important stuff but I don't know, Outside of TV Abrahms has been shaky on character.
Anyway I'm not pumped not impressed so far but I'll let those who're over the moon space fighters are flying low over a lake enjoy the moment.
If only the Lighthänder (or Zweisaber) didn't have those cross beams, it would look so cool.
But I have a theory actually. Those aren't meant to be "blades", they are meant to be "exhausts" if you will. The saber has an incoherent flow, unlike the traditional ones which I assume is due to it being designed with a completely different mechanism and with more power. To keep it going, it needs to let some power out so it doesn't overload, hence the "exhausts".
I wonder why there's that very quiet saber ignition sound at the end.

I didn't know it was possible, but Abrams did it. He made a Lightsaber look lame.
wait, what!?!?!? are you serious.
Rian Johnson is a god. Too good to be true.
No worriesHmm coming from a non Star Wars fan:
-I instantly liked the look of the movie - and I guess the setting of the movie means no more excuses to fill the screen with CG extravaganza overload? That's a great thing
-again, minimalist look, great. Please keep it that way.

Could the guy with the StormTrooper outfit be under cover perhaps ? Behind enemy lines as it were.
That Falcon shot, fuck me, can't stop grinning
Concerning the saber, what if it was actually built by some egotistical douchebag that thinks he's the shit (the sith?) and just added that for flair or to spook his enemies? There could be some context to it.

Like with Star Trek?
Why. He's a piece of shit director.
I'm betting on anything you're betting.I'm betting that's Luke.
Actually, the Trade Federation took advantage of both sides in the rebellion having their numbers cut significantly down, and through creative financing took control. It's all going to be in the intro scroller.So do we have any idea of the political structure in this film? Were those X-Wings part of the New Republic (or whatever they may call it)? Were those TIEs and stormies part of the Galactic Empire or Imperial Remnant, or...?

But in all honesty: Badguy Sith lord talking while shit happens on screen, a guy whips his lightsaber. It seems similar to something Blur Studios would have done in CG as a teaser. So... I don't know what to call it, "fanboy-ish" "fan-servicy". Nothing that really shows an own handwriting.
Fuck.
Me.
Fuck.

Complaining that a Star Wars teaser showed off lightsabers, X-wings, etc.One more concern. The original trilogy worked because for the most part it didn't feel like it was following franchise rules or had to showcase the cool stuff.

I don't get the lightsabre hate, can someone explain it?
"I know a few maneuvers. We'll lose 'em."

I can't think of a single, solid reason for that lightsaber design. It's unnecessary as a cross-guard.
