  1. 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.

  2. while people are freaking out about this new lightsaber, I must say we had this same uproar when Darth Maul revealed his weapon, remember?

    there were opinions like; " that looks like a bo used in Martial Arts, rather than a lightsaber " while others felt it was " really badass and AWESOME "

    especially since back in 1999 when the film came out, there had been only 1 type of lightsaber for over 28 years - that's happening all over again..

     

     

     

    I also want to point out that, the character in dark robes seem to be staggering;  he may be hurt, or some sort of sith lord awaken, who knows...

    the original working title of the film was " the ancient threat ", this may or may not be related to the saber seen in the teaser, but one thing is sure;

      

    - if indeed that is a sith lord and not some kid with an artifact, he must've mastered a very unique style.

  3. Here's a side-by-side shot of the current WIP and her original front view picture (scaling between the two is not exact):

    Criticism of the nose is valid... the tip and bridge of her nose is a bit wider than I have modeled. But the nostril width lines up perfectly.

     

    Even the nostrils look somewhat hollow compared to the photo. The eyes look far apart because of the thin nosebridge. Once you fix that,

    there's really not much room for critics for her face, it's looking great already. So how about those goggles? The model looks pretty good.

  4. Just hating the saber for the sake that it looks different, is stupid in my opinion, given the fact that we don't know if it even works like a standard lightsaber.

    Why don't we try to come up with ideas on how the 2 short ones are meant to work? I doubt they exist only for the looks, or to protect the saberhand, since ;

     

    there has been no need for such in the star wars universe so far, and that the hand cover/ guard, originates to medieval iron swords, so why should

    the ancient sith use such an old concept? - if we would say the saber is a relic - it would be a direct attack against the lightsaber concept itself.

     

    What if the 2 short ones are meant to power up step by step? - first one being what we see in the trailer, second phase would make them align with the hilt,

    creating 3 bladed saber, and the 3rd phase would somehow unite the 3 sabers into one badass berseker lightsaber.... there's much room for speculation :D

  5. According to Ep7 makers, who apparently have no clue.

     

     

    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.

  6. I still strongly belive that the short blades are meant to extend to a tri-bladed lightsaber, that brings a new form of fighting to the franchise,

    since every single SW film has done it so far, New Hope introduced us to the lightsaber, ESB showed the very first lightsaber duel, if you don't

    count in the Ben kenobi swoosh-im-dead scene from ep4  -- and in the ROTJ we see the use of force_lightning for the very first time.

    Darth Maul's two-headed saber, Anakin dual wielding sabers against Dooku, and Grievous' 4 saber fighting style, even if he was robotic.

     

    Once again I must remind you all, Disney can't ruin much since Lucas himself has said that his part in the movie making is mostly saying

    " yes you can do this"   or  " no, that doesnt fit the star wars universe, because...."  so this saber can't be made to please kids, as @hleV said.

  7. I've gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed, mostly because it didn't show much. And mostly because of that lightsaber. I think it looks ridiculous.

     

    Well don't be.   Think about it this way; he may actually extend those short ones and hold the saber from the middle of it all, twirling it around.

    Grievous had 4 saber and I thouht it was odd until I saw him use those arms in battle.  Funny how we just discussed that saber here, and that

    I even said it must be fake, but lookie lookie here we can actually see it XD  

  8. Could you edit Kyle or Jedi Trainer so that they would have some stormtrooper parts on them?

     

    for example; remove jeditrainers shoulderpad, replace it with stormtrooper shoulderpad, add the forearm armor and the handplate.

    Why not change the entire arm? BECAUSE = reskinning the jeditrainer arm is easier than reskinning the stormtrooper arm.

     

    If you'd do that for me, I could create some really cool clonewars type Jeditrainers and Kyle for my SP

     

    here's a photoshop frankenstein, recoulouring those parts and overall reskin of jeditrainer makes a wonderful armoured jedi
