See...this is what happens when you get AJ Abrams in charge of the new upcoming Star Wars to mess up with SiFi tradition and put in some gimmicky light saber for looks. Those cross guards light saber better be shooting off some laser or something.
i think the whole star wars franchise went straight downhill after The Empire Strikes Back. the lightsaber is the coolest sci fi weapon to ever appear on the big screen and I can't believe they are messing with it like this. I like it in just 2 colors red for the dark side and green for the good guys NOT in every friggin color of the rainbow! seriously purple????? if they can just remake THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK I Would be the ultimate sci fi movie. Lucas has no more creative juice in him, may I dare say call Cameron and let him do it.
