Trailer for the upcoming movie!
People are a bit torn over whether they like it or not it seems.
Edit: my bad for the original link I clicked on another trailer thinking it was another trailer because sometimes they make two, noticed it was fake and then accidentally still copied the link. Link is fixed now.

Original link the OP posted was some serious amateur hour editing. The real trailer looks pretty alright.

New lightsaber designed to make enemy's lightsaber cut your hilt and hand into pieces and slice your side as you use it, but looks pretty fucking cool.

can't say i really have an opinion on it. The trailer didn't show anything at all except a really impractical lightsaber design. kinda worries me that they aren't going to put much effort into it and just milk the name

They better utilize that weird hilt in a fight scene otherwise it's definitely just kinda stupid. Show the practicality of it and I'm on board.
Otherwise shit looked dope. Definitely more hype than the Phantom Menace trailer O_o

Which is why it was a teaser, not a trailer. It was simply made to tease us on the look of the movie, not reveal the story line or the premise for the new series.

Well, we'll see JJ Abrams is not only producing this film, but also the film adaptations of Half-life and Portal lol. He currently has the ability to ruin not only star wars but also half-life and portal. With great power comes great responsibility lol.
I assume it'll be mostly action oriented since most of the production folks they've got on board have mostly only done action movies. Which could be fun.

I'm confident that it will be fine, I enjoyed the new StarTrek films. The main problem is that he takes on board these films that have a HUGE fanbase. I don't think this film deserves as much negativity that it's been getting. It can't be any worse than the prequels, which for me mainly suffered on having almost every scene featuring Anakin really awkward. The cast for this film is really good and I feel like that was a big plus for StarTrek as well.

Does nobody remember the fight where Anakin just slides his saber down past the hilt and slices Dooku's hands off? Impractical my ass.

My initial thought of the lightsaber w/ guard was a little confused, but that does bring up a good point of why or how do lightsabers not have handguards in the first place. Maybe if they made the guard/hilt out of phrik or cortosis, it might make more sense.
However the bigger question is, why the hell does that chick on that tatooine-esque planet look like she just stepped out of the shower and got done applying makeup?

If there is any director to trust for a Star Wars sequel, I think it would be Abrams. The lightsaber looks pretty sick, don't know why people are analyzing the fuck out of it. who gives a shit about its total functionality it just looks like the sort of lightsaber that is perfect for a powerful sith.

I know this is just speculation but perhaps Revan is making an appearance hence the movie title? It would make sense I guess the force re-awakening something or someone...
Supposedly, leaked image of concept art...

That lightsaber would be considered ancient technology since Revan would be like 5000 years old or some shit.

So hyped. Loved the series since my parents introduced me to it when I was 7.

it's a really poop design in terms of how much it would limit your agility with the thing, but it protects you against getting your hands cut off which I heard happens sometimes in the SW universe... also who says you can't turn the handles off?

So after Episode 6, the Sith basically died out. Since this takes place after Episode 6, and the "force is awakening", this is a new breed of sith. Perhaps this is a makeshift/prototype lightsaber that was constructed with little knowledge of how the previous lightsabers were constructed, hence why it looks more like a fire sword and has a different sound than the standard lightsabers.

you guys are making me feel like a crazy person for not giving a shit about this light saber design

It is clearly a very unstable saber. The crossguards are likely improvised exhausts. Whatever, it looks like how Sith saber should, unwieldy yet powerful.

its a claymore get the fuck over it, it's badass as shit.
^ The old sabers, and the fighting style in ep. IV are pretty clearly based on katanas/kendo/samurai, etc. Not to mention vader's helmet! Hence, no large hilt from a design perspective.
Samurai vs Scotsman. I'm down for that.
Just please no more dectuple flipping yoda bullshit.
