The saber in the trailer sounds different. But you can also hear the classic saber sound after the "December 2015" disappears. So I'm going to say it looks and sounds like that because it in unique, and the more typical lightsabers will also appear.
[QUOTE=Mr._N;46596689]I wonder that if the original trilogy came out today, there would be endless discussion about the impracticality of the TIE fighter design limiting a pilot's peripheral vision, or why the AT-ATs don't have wheels or snow treading tracks instead of clumsy legs that leave them vulnerable to tripping.[/QUOTE] There probably was discussion about those things, but the internet lets people talk about it easier.

AKA, cut through things WAY faster.
The crossguard might actually be exhaust ports for a poorly crafted light saber. The blade itself looked really unstable, so maybe the Sith had trouble making it and had to settle with that.
[I]superior japanese saber reflected over 1000 times[/I]
JJ Abrams has successfully restarted the Japanese Katana debate by proxy for another year.
Ben Burtt, the sound designer for the original movies and prequels, is doing the sound effects again so it should make sense that everything sounds like they should.
Ben Burtt is my fuckin spirit animal

That lightsaber is kickass. I love how the blade looks like a plasma jet and less like the boring glowsticks that I'm used to. Mind you, OT did it right, brought out when they were most needed or for training so you didn't lob off your own arm. PT kind of made lightsabers boring, since they came out whenever, and everyone had one. I mean, shit, Grievous had several. PT made it way less cool to have one.
[QUOTE=Sm63;46597253][t]http://www.starwarshelmets.com/2009/TIE-pilot-helmet-and-armor.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] That's a pilot, not a stormtrooper.
I just realized, why are Stormtroopers around 30 years later?

The lightsaber looks like its shaking and unstable. Maybe its a drastic redesign but it just looks like its morphing differently than the straight blade we are used to.

The millions of troops didn't vanish after that. there has to be a second in command, plus the entire inquisition underneath Vader himself.

Kind of whispy and covered in particles. I don't mind it.
At least the cross guard lightsaber was nothing like this... [IMG]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Henry_NMH2_6265.png[/IMG]
what a bunch of nerds that movie looks cool as shit stop whining faggots
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;46597588][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAOX_CHU0JY[/media][/QUOTE] I feel like how that whole situation played out in the EU was plausible. Rebels get more support and it takes years but there's a steam roll effect and they eventually win. And then they broker piece with the remnants of the empire.

[QUOTE=itisjuly;46596479]Cross saber looks fucking cool. And if theory that they are exhaust ports is correct will only make it more awesome.[/QUOTE] The cross saber is physically impossible, and I feel that by adding it they are ruining the movie
I thought it was a ventilation shaft if it's a crossguard then that's dumb as fuck.

I love how everybody go nuts over a tri-bladed saber but I hardly heard a thing over the Inquisitor's spinny laser disc saber from Rebels [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdEO76klfrs[/media]
