Star Wars 7 Teaser

[njames89]

Yeah I agree that is kindof implied the way they mash their swords together at angles and the blades don't slide.

[Voncrow]

is also a massive design flaw.

Death Star?

Also sparv has a good point with the cortosis, but adding a guard made of only cortosis along the emitter would make more sense. And I'd also agree trying new stuff is general a step in the right direction,  they may even have a logical use for it in the movie, who knows.

[Sparvico]

A step in the right direction? What? No, it's not. It's ten times more asinine. It's a hundred times more dangerous than not having a crossguard. It does not make any sense whatsoever. Especially since if that material where the crossguard-lightsaber comes out of it can't protect against another lightsaber, the entire design is pointless. If it can? Then it's also pointless. You could've just made a crossguard out of that material.

Most importantly, it looks dumb as fuck. It's about as cool as something very uncool.

Yes I completely agree with you. It looks dumb as fuck. The idea of a cross-guard on a light saber is a step in the right direction however.

The sound/look of a lightsaber always made me think two blades meeting had a sort of "stickiness" to it and that's why they didn't have guards.

Eh those blades don't really look like they are "sticking" to me. Also having one's blade stick to one's opponents blade would make it really difficult to fight. That said this is all "fiction", could quite possibly be some kinda interference when two lightsabers meet.

[Tibe]

I thought they always used to boldly claim that lightsabers were a difficult weapon to use and that an untrained person is more liekly to wound themself that do anything useful with it? (that was always their bullshit excuse why every soldier didnt carry one), but lightsabers so far have looked really user-friendly and Han used one with no trouble which makes you wonder why everyone doesnt use them.

Cause guns pewpew from a distance, lightsabers dont and cause normal people dont have the reflexes to block projectiles with their swords. How do the jedi have these reflexes just randomly since birth? Cause in the movies they just have em and their power is just detectable by other guys who have that power. In Star Wars everything can be explained with the words "cuz force", like in Warhammer everything comes down to "cuz Warp" or "cuz Emperor". And Han used a lightsaber? lol. I looked it up. The only time he ever used one in the movies was just to open that frozen camelthing open. Even if he did, like actually use it, we could still throw the "cuz force allowed him" argument in there.

pretty sure the point was to get people shitposting about the trailer all across the internet a full year in advance for free marketing

looks like the lightsaber gimmick and trailer cut did exactly that.

how does it feel to waste your words ripping on the trailer and the designs, when in reality you are just taking the bait and giving more money to george lucas with every post?

[Tibe]

Dont really care. Everyone is gonna watch that movie anyway. Star Wars is practically the core part of the Western culture.

[Johnnyfirs]

Only on meleeforums can a thread derail so much because of two seconds featuring a impractical sword. Be it historical 'accurate' movies or fucking star wars, you guys are ready to chop the poor designer to pieces - love it! 
But seriously...

Let's see.. I got a retro, back to the roots kinda vibe from this teaser.

Let's talk about the actual teaser now? I feel the same as Thomek, I thought they kinda hit the old atmosphere. When I heard Disney was making it I was afraid the movie would be more comical than scifi. The teaser is not really giving that vibe, or is it just me?

[GandalfJr]

Meh it looks pretty shit, but I'll still watch it for the sake of boredom

like we give a fuck

Fucking idiot. Nobody directly makes money off of what we post on this forum, especially not George Lucas, as he doesn't own the rights to Star Wars anymore. How is it you feel compelled to post in every thread no matter how little you actually know about the topic at hand?

[Xant]

Yeah, uh, how exactly are we "giving more money to George Lucas?"

It's not like everyone here isn't gonna watch it, whether we talk about it or not.

[Smoothrich]

Did you know George Lucas owns two billion dollars in Disney stock and is the single largest living shareholder?

Don't realize viral YouTube hits reposted on forums for more hits is the entire point of Internet marketing?  Every click feeds Google Disney and George Lucas more money. Inflates expected box office receipts for shady jew accounting as well.

What a horrible personal loss to me.

[lombardsoup]

Hits for a trailer don't matter if the movie bombs.  Remaining hopeful, but there's a faint smell of cheese in the air.

I, II, III were enough of a blow, my poor old nerd heart can't take another

[Smoothrich]

Revenge of the Sith is legitimately great. The last half of that movie is silly melodramatic space opera done right.

Also the idea of this movie bombing is retarded. You are about to be immersed in a Star Wars circlejerk with annual releases and theatrical spin offs  (Boba Fett standalone script already done I believe) and EA videogames by Battlefield's DICE.

Disney is going to run this shit into the ground. Probably get some good movies though but god damn Star Wars is going to be dumped on our faces real soon nonstop. This is just the beginning.
