The problem is it just doesn’t fit. Yet. The UFO-thing of the Inquisitor fits strangely well IMO, because it is actually thought through. It isn’t different from Grievous spinning his hands, and it is an optional mode, he can still use his lightsaber normally. But this is just dumb. And I hope this is the reason why it is that way: Because the user is a freaking maniac who doesn’t thinks things through. I could accept it if that’s the case.
As it stands though there is just no reason to not make a handle out of Cortosis or Beskar or anything, there is no need for this weird use of the saber blade. |

Enough elements to have me somewhat interested.
Still practically nothing about the story though. I really, REALLY hope they aren't setting up for another dumbass "mystery box" again. |

The early Dark Jedi and later Sith actually used traditional blades for a very long time, these were usually enchanted trough Sith Alchemy which made them strong enough to even block lightsabers. Later on the Sith picked up lightsabers, simply to humiliate the Jedi through using their special weapon and showing them that they could wield it even better than they could. They later created their own varieties like the double bladed lightsaber. Also I don't know if the materials that withstand lightsabers were actually around at that time, Cortosis is a very rare and hard to mine mineral, and Beskar is never easy to get since the Mandalorians produce it. And they are so rare anyways that a good blade would be rather hard to get. Last edited by Kiwami; 11-28-2014 at 04:19 PM.. |

Looks fine for what it was. Not sure why there are still Storm Troopers there when the Empire is gone, but whatever. It has Abrahms behind it, who did the two best Star Trek movies ever and features the Aluminum Falcon :-), so it is bound to be good.

I'm no Star Wars nerd like the rest of you guys, but I do have a question that's been bugging me since I was a wee kid. Why were some of the sith sabers hilts slightly tilted? Was it just for design purpose? Was it just because that's how the wielder wanted it to be? Or was it all for kicks and I'm over thinking a minor design.

It's one of the rarer forms of hilts though since it requires much higher skill to use it properly than the standard hilt. And if you mean Sith-sabers in general, they are not more tilted. They are either curved like Dooku's or completely straight. |

While the old Clone Wars cartoons were really awesome, I disagree that they fit in better with the films than the CGI one does. There are notable inconsistencies, mostly with style. Grievous is probably the biggest difference here, his ruthless assassin portrayal in Clone Wars is markedly different from his cowardly mustache-twirling portrayal in Revenge of the Sith.
Also noteworthy are how crazy powerful the Jedi are here, able to crash troop carriers into each other and decimate entire armies without a lightsaber, which seriously deviates from their power levels in the films. Nevertheless, the Clone Wars was terrific for its time and still has some of the most memorable scenes in Star Wars. Thinking about the Greivous chase scene in Coruscant still gives me the chills.
