Personally, I think the new lightsaber is interesting. I've heard it called a claymore a few times, which I think is fitting. A claymore was a massive sword designed to be used only by the strongest warriors, and the lightsaber claymore looks to have been designed by a fighter that favors brute strength over acrobatic twirling.
I really dislike the old star wars films so anything new is good imo, the trailer looks pretty good, though I will probably wait for it to be released on DvD.
When I saw this trailer I was at a loss for words. I thought my friend was just watching Star Wars in his living room ... no ... I was wrong. I already made plans to go watch it in a theater when it comes out. I don't go to the movies often so this is kind of a big deal. Nostalgia levels rising. Force increasing. Talk like this, I must. -Nights
