I don't think they're intended as hand guards.

The saber seemed faulty. Like this is a person who had no master and made a saber with no guidance. They look more like vents that help stabilize that chaotic energy.

Based on the design, I figure JJ said "I want a broadsword light saber" and that's what they gave him.  Because Broadswords are awesome or something.

Sure, but having them as vents seems pretty cool. The lightsaber looking unstable in general is pretty cool.

The trailer alone is better than all three of the prequels combined.

What made the lightsaber so iconic is that is was already perfect. He took something perfect and fucked it all up.

You think all of the lightsabers in the movie are going to be like that? Lightsaber variants have existed for a long time. Actually, a crossguard variant has existed for a long time.

[Pete Svarrior]

It's a bit of a recent cliché to make them so prominent, and is overstaying its welcome

Maybe? I'd have to see the whole movie to answer this.

I'm not Saddam, lore lore lore is not an interest point on my end.

Okay, well, you are stupid.

[Fortuna]

It's obvious why they did it. Just like in The Phantom Menace, there has to be a new type of light saber to drum up interest and hype. Maybe we should direct our collective autism towards discussing how people can hurl boulders with their minds instead.

[Ghost of V]

Star Trek universe could easily take the Star Wars universe in a battle. Fuck, even the Stargate universe would obliterate Star Wars with little to no effort at all.

With the force, you autist.

You mean a severe blood infection? All Jedis probably have a serious case of AIDS.

Muh midichlorians

I really fucking hope they don't persist with that.

[rooster]

omg. I know more about Star Wars lore than you plebs and I don't even really like Star Wars.
