I want to again point out how the fact that they're losing their shit over an imaginary sword is one thing but the only one that's actually been revealed at all so far.
People circlejerk star wars in a way that even the originals can't come close to so it's no surprise, people did this shit when the phantom menace came out I'm sure and those films were all fucking awful. These ones will probably be better given who's in charge but I don't see them being much more than decent Sci Fi flicks. People gotta chill the fuck out cos there's literally no way they will be pleased by these films by the time they come out.
[QUOTE=mikeyt493;46619323]People take Star Wars ridiculously seriously[/QUOTE] God I know, trust me, if I was like I was when I was younger I'd probably be right there with them bitching I used to be a huge Star Wars nerd when I was like 12 and we're talking fucking gigantic I would have nights where I would try to watch the entire series but I was always the biggest fan of the prequels because I would fall asleep by the time I got to the original trilogy, and outside of that I owned a bunch of star wars games and I was [I]always[/I] playing KotOR, hell, I owned a comic of Episode IV and a bunch of Star Wars books and I would even challenge my equally nerdy friend to fucking Star Wars trivia contests during lunch I still like Star Wars and all but thank [I]god[/I] I don't give even half as much of a fuck about Star Wars anymore 'cept KotOR though that's just legit the shit
star wars is meh never really liked it

I find Star Wars quite boring myself too.
I´ve never seen one. AND I NEVER WILL.
The crossguard lightsaber makes as much sense as crossguards on real swords. You use it to catch your enemy's blade if they try to slide it down and strike your hands, which I'm honestly surprised that such a thing didn't happen more often in Star Wars (maybe once or twice in the movies and that's it). What better way do you have of disarming your target than crossing sabers and immediately forcing yours downward to [I]burn through your opponent's hand with a blade made of pure plasma[/I]? If anything, these new lightsabers are better than the old ones. A little more realistic and well thought-out.
street fighter fucking sucks dicks

While people point out that the EU had a few silly lightsabers, most people didn't pay attention to the EU while most people do pay attention to the films.
i just love the crossguard lightsaber cause it looks fucking sick
[QUOTE=greeley;46618913]And lets just pretend Sonic DX never happened.[/QUOTE] Sonic Adventure was my shit when I was 14 and still to this day one my favorite Sonic games along with Adventure 2 and Heroes. Played the hell out of it during my Summer Vacations.
So I watched Lucky Star. There seems to be a bunch of other stuff called that, so to clarify, I mean [I]that[/I] Lucky Star. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/13/Lucky_Star_main_characters.png[/img] I mean [I]this[/I] one. Now I'm mostly a slightly hidden fan of anime, I really like it but I never talk about it in public and only really talk about it with friends who also like anime or have some kind of interest or bring it up or whatever. But I quite like it, I usually stick to things like Samurai Champloo, Redline, or whatever, but I've watched some more flamboyant shit like Gurrenn Lagann or Kill la Kill or Black Butler, so fuck it I thought. Lucky Star is supposed to be like [I]the[/I] iconic weeb shit anime with little girls (who are supposed to be high school age, yeah, my ass) and even aside from it's constant use as a jab at weaboos, it seems to be pretty damn popular in whatever anime community there is, so I kinda had high expectations, and hey, maybe it'll be somewhat cute, I guess. I can't handle that shit. It's too...anime. It's the most anime. It's fucking Walter White levels of purity except this time absolutely fucking 100 percent, and it can be so thoroughly exhausting that it just makes you want to do anything not anime, hell, anything not Japanese because you're so fucking burnt out you can't handle it anymore. And it's about [I]nothing.[/I] Like I've heard Seinfeld or Louie be praised for being about nothing but this takes nothing to the extreme. The first like 10 minutes are just the main characters sat around a fucking cafeteria table talking about food. And then it cuts to them talking about and visiting one of them who was sick with the flu, and then at some point one of them is imagining a game of Street Fighter, like legit Street Fighter and fucking Guile is there and everything, and I couldn't tell you why because I was zoned out at the time. I thought maybe that was an establishing character episode but on the preview for the next one they were just talking about how one of them has sleeping problems and I just can't. Lucky Star seems to come very, very highly praised and extremely popular among anime fans but while I don't dislike it, I can't for the life of me imagine watching this regularly, or even semi-regularly. It'd be something I put on like once in a few months or whatever, if I even decide to continue it. also hetalia sucks balls

Since the trailer came out I've seen 3 much better crossguard solutions. One split the laser into 3 and had a regular crossguard behind it to protect the hand from lasers, another had a regular crossguard with lasers coming from the end crossing the main blade, and I can't remember the third one. People making fun of others because they think the crossguard looks dumb are being assholes. "Hurr hurr it's fiction it doesn't have to make sense" is a fucking stupid thing to say. Burnie Burns' tweet is especially stupid.

Saying "Durr Star Wars isn't practical" is fucking retarded.
