Is someone going to recreate this saber from the trailer? It looks badass!!

Pretty easy to do I'd imagine.

[Darth Reborn]

the design is really stupid. Sith never would use that.

[kkrive]

Obviously they do use it xDDDDDD

 

The lightsaber is a variant referred to as the Crossguard Lightsaber

[McGroose]

I'm more confused about the lightsaber blade's texture, rather than the fact it looks stupid in the first place.

It looks more like a thin fire sword instead of a traditional lightsaber beam, I think,

Someone mentioned it might have used a Lava Crystal which would explain the way it pulsates and why it looks really unstable.

Hmm. I didn't notice that before. But now i see it...and wanna unsee xD

According to Ep7 makers, who apparently have no clue.

Lava Cristal? WTF? They should kill themselves.

This is a valid request. So let's not try to let things get to heated here. Some people like the hilt others may not. Let's leave this thread to the request.

They have Lucas backing up this saber, so it musn't be all that stupid,  -- wait until u see more about it before judging.

it's too early to work on this anyway, since we don't know if it even works the same way the traditional saber does.

[Circa]

Looks like a similar one has been made before, just have to find it.

 

[kkrive]

Wow yeah that looks cool!

[JediBantha]

Shouldn't the hilt be made of cortosis instead? It seems more likely to dismember the user than the opponent.

How?

[z3filus]

well  Lucas himself has said that although he sold the franchise to Disney, there were terms of use, like; Disney has to work on the script Lucas has already written,

ending the saga as George himself has intented it to end. He has been reported saying that his role in the upcoming films is an adviser, mostly just stading still saying;

 

" yes you can do that "   and " no you can't do that, it doesn't fit the Star Wars universe, beacause..."   so this way, we know that Lucas must've approved this new saber.

Who knows if it was himself who  came up with this idea. I think it's important to remember that Lucas is  still a part of the new trilogy.

How is that an evidence? Pretty sure JJ and whatnot have some freedom when making the movie.

make the hilt is easy, need 3 tag_blade for the blades. however... the more difficult part is replace gfx/effects/sabers/red_line texture with a fire blazing tube. the problem is that all sith sabers with red color into the game got the new blazing effect : \

Can make the hilt use a specific/custom efx, so only that hilt will have the fire effect

But won't it crash the game if you do saber throw?

Pretty sure OpenJK fixes that

[DT.]

I'm sure if this saber gets enough support, someone could add a special red blade for it in openjk.

[Angel Soul]

Sounds good to me then! Woop woop!

[Omicron]

Part of me seems to remember that the red blade in JKG was similar to that in the trailer

[DT.]

Yeah, JKG had/has a lot of useless junk lol.
