I think that light saber design is a bit of a stretch... It seems like a desperate attempt to try and top a double bladed lightsaber made famous by Darth Maul. I know they have some big shoes to fill with this movie, but the design seems like a bit much and would have been just as effective being a single bladed lightsaber…
Just because you can't slice through something does not mean that you can't deflect them...or force shove some Mandalorian goon around..Isn't that why the Mandalorians were so tough to defeat "if it WERE constructed from lightsaber resistant material, you wouldn't exactly need the blade emitters either." Yeah but he could…
Daisy Ridley’s Rey and John Boyega’s runaway stormtrooper Finn flee from The First Order on the desert world Jakku in this new shot Our cover model, Kylo Ren (played by Adam Driver) strikes a pose with his homemade lightsaber. It turns out, his true identity has been masked from us in more ways than one … After a violent…
It's hard to really gauge much from a teaser like that. However, my personal expectation for the movie is along the lines of my impression of other JJ Abrams films, notably the Star Trek films. It will be a good movie, but probably forgettable. Too much action, too much CG with too little time for much else. I'm personally…
From what I've gathered from the rumours, the Rebellion also now has access to these kinds of weapons - and as a result the universe has cooled into a state of perpetual cold war for fear of mutually assured destruction. Exactly who with is an awkward question, from as I gather the Empire no longer really exists and the…
Arguably, it did though. The saber fighting in the original trilogy existed to advance the plot - it was also pretty brief in comparison to the prequels. The prequel trilogy's saber fighting did nothing to advance the plot at all, it was all intended to be spectacle - much like several of the combat scenes. All of these…
Time to nerd out A decent theory I saw on another forum was that with the resurgence of force users, there is a shortage of the already rare lightsaber crystals (that need great care to produce) and so the (supposed) sith in the trailer is using a saber with an imperfect synthetic crystal, making the blade look frayed, but…
Well, that shot a few pages ago that showed costumes is awesome and it really feels like Star Wars. But I'm pretty sure that prequels also had more costumes and decorations than people would like to admit. Also, you really don't see any CG in the trailer? I'd say it's full of it. I know, trailers are trailers, and CG isn't…
I thought Jurassic World and Terminator were ridiculous, but for some reason I really like the aspect of VII having one foot in the old and one in the new We've already been through a reboot bearing in mind - I remember watching the prequels and having literally no idea or connection to what was going on, suddenly this 6ft…
Call me utter fanboy, but when I heard Main Theme and saw Star Wars I had shivers over entire body. As for light saber. Yeah it looks stupid I grant you that. But you forget about one thing. Light saber as it is, is totally impractical. It have no weight beyond hilt, and you need literally supernatural coordination to do…
