Youtube gives us the proof we needed to rest assured that the new lightsaber is a work of genius
To my surprise, the most talked about film for 2015 is probably going to be the seventh installment for the Star Wars franchise, and not the sequel to The Avengers, and most of this is owing to the great trailer that J.J. Abrams put out in fall 2014 which features a red lightsaber with lightsaber quillons...because well...nerds.
In yet another reason to check Reddit, user DaniAlonso put out a post called "Well I don't think the lightsaber in the Star Wars episode VII trailer is dumb anymore" and then linked to a video by YouTuber Thrand who collaborated with his friends Eldgrimr and Marquez to answer the most burning question of our age: does wielding a lightsaber with this design pose any danger to its user? The answer is "no" and whoever thought of this design is actually pretty genius. If you read through the comments of the Reddit thread, you can see that there are millions of people who are emotionally invested in the decision to feature a lightsaber with a "powered" crossguard.
So if you are one of the people that have cast aspersions upon J.J. Abrams and who have lost faith in his ability to bring us the greatest Star Wars movie ever, I think you should ask yourself a few questions:
1) Why is it so hard for me to admit that this lightsaber is really clever?
2) Was there actual testing done behind this, or did they just luck into brilliance?
3) Why did I have a negative reaction to what is (undeniably) very cool?
Maybe the answer is that you're one of those people that's grumpy and likes to tear everyone down because...jealously much?
And in other Star Wars news, is anyone thinking that Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad is hinting very strongly on his Twitter account that he's been cast in the Han Solo spin off? I wonder who he'll play. And yes, if you didn't know, there's a Han Solo and a Boba Fett spin off in the works. Remember, Disney wants to release three Star Wars movies a year from now unto infinity :) and that is what I call a good disturbance in the Force.
