Hey guys, I have an idea. Why not wait until the film comes out and go see it and then criticise the movie they're actually making instead of the one you think they're making based on a 2-minute trailer?

[Vindictus]

I'm totally on board with that. Trailers often end up giving vastly different impressions of the final movie, and that's especially true with such an early pre-post-production trailer.

No, no, you don't understand. It's all about this now.

This.

That is yuck.

[rooster]

No.

Internet + Nerd lore = tons of analyzing. Just embrace it.

[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.

Knock if off, Vauxy.  We already had that dumb troll discussion.

No.  The whole point of a trailer is to promote and raise awareness of a movie.  We are entirely within our rights to form first impressions of the movie and discuss what we think it will be like based on said trailer.

Shitty crossguard lightsaber jokes or GTFO m8

[Ghost Spaghetti]

Considering the amount of times that hands get chopped off in SW, a crossguard seems like an eminently sensible development. You wonder why more lightsabres don't have hand and wrist protection.

[Eddy Baby]

Yeah but considering how easy they get sewn back on who gives a fuck. Star Wars Episode VII: Deal With The Pain

[beardo]

They don't get sewn back on. They get replaced with prostheses.

[Eddy Baby]

Watch out mate this is the real world what if I come over there and cut your hand off and throw it in the sea nobody will be able to sew that back on

[beardo]

Irrelevant.

Except this particular design won't do shit for you. If you're sliding your saber down that saber, you're not gonna hit the crossguard's functional surface. You're gonna hit the metal hilt, which is not very good at resisting lightsabers.

Except that there are several materials which can withstand a blow from a lightsaber. Cortosis and Mandalorian iron are the two most well known. It's also possible that the two crossbeams originate from within the hilt, so even if the metal encasing them was pierced, the beam itself would still block the blow.

Do these materials exist in the canonical universe of six movies and a TV show?  Really, I'm not stressing this point to be funny, or to wind up SW nerds or anything.  We can't be relying on the EU for background information anymore.  There's no C0DA here, no wheel-shaped universe.  All the video games and novels and whatnot are nothing more than fanfiction now.

I don't know or care.

[beardo]

Is there an in-story/lore explanation as to why Star Wars droids looks so primitive?

[Particle Person]

Primitive compared to what?

Based on the trailer, all I can see is that it will have familiar Star Wars things and a black dude in a desert who triggers a jump scare sting every time he appears on screen. Yep, I sure am informed about this here movie I haven't seen.
