I'm just posting this trailer so you guys can share your thoughts here.

I have a huge chubby of that lightsaber with bladed handguard/ energy vents. Maybe it's a Sith relic from Old Republic or even earlier.
Also, there are tons of racist youtube comments about the black storm trooper. But how do we even know he's a storm trooper anyway, and not just wearing some salvaged armor.
Pretty darn good Teaser, back to watching it over and over.
I can't understand the racist comments either. Race is pretty trivial in a galaxy with millions of sentient species.I have a huge chubby of that lightsaber with bladed handguard/ energy vents. Maybe it's a Sith relic from Old Republic or even earlier.

The original movies did this, but they did it just enough to be gently comical. The scenes with the jawa transport, for example. Soccer ball droids can work if they are used sparingly and aren't just "throw cute crap in to make kids laugh" (ie. jar jar)oh, my only complaint is the soccer ball droid.
Damn it, no Jar Jar!
The problem with the design is that little metal parts that stick out before the little saber bit, a lightsaber would simply go through this, thus defeating the entire point of having the crossguard in the first place.
The crossguard lightsaber looks stupid to me.
The entire point of a crossguard is to protect your hand from your enemies sword sliding down the blade.

the new lightsaber design may look cool but it's not practical...looks like the user's hand could get chopped off at any time when using it
I think he means that someone else's lightsaber could go through the hilt. There are, however, lightsaber-resistant metals, which the hilt and crossguard could be made out of.I believe it implies that those metal parts are holo, with a saber-stopping beam of its own underneath. A saber that goes down will break the metal, but the beam underneath will stop it. His hands though, if they accidentally slid upwards or whatever, would hit the metal.
Yea, because the primary blade wouldn't do the same thing.
Why do people try to apply logic to FANTASY movies?

I thought there was at least one instance in Episodes 1-3 where some people were using cortosis staves, which can defend against lightsabers, I just don't remember when they were used.
Even worse, no ewoks!!!

Well, to be honest, I'm guessing that the crossguard was added here because it looks neat, not that it has a practical application.Also if it is made outof Cortosis or whatever material is meant to stop a lightsaber, why not make the entire crossguard out of it? This would allow you to grab the guard when you needed (the crossguards weren't simply there to be looked at, you could use them to manipulate the blade and things).
Err what? I'm talking about the crossguard (the little lightsabers that go out to the side). There's no beam underneath anything to stop another persons lightsaber from sliding down and going through the metal bit and then hitting your hand (the entire point of having a crossguard is to stop this).

I love sci-fi movies, but I can't stand any of the Star Wars movies. They just seem so corny to me. And the acting has been horrible. I've tried to get into them multiple times, but it's just not happening. I really enjoy movies like Serenity, Star Wars, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
I'm hoping this new one will leave some of the corniness and bad acting behind a be a really good sci-fi movie. The trailer was pretty good, and they have a ton of back story and lore to base it on, so it's got potential if done right.
