    God damn it I could handle the double-ended light sabre wielded by Darth Maul but this new one with the pointless little side blades is just stupid and unnecessary. I skeptical about the whole project now! I'm not the only one apparently!

    People said the same thing about Maul's saber.

    It's kind of idiotic to attribute practical feasability to a weightless laser sword in the first place. If they were real they'd all be lethal to the user.

    I always subscribed to the notion that it took a Jedi, with their force awareness, to wield them safely. And we don't yet know how the new saber will work seen as the movie isn't out yet. And to write off the whole project based on this is nonsense.

    Bizarre they took this long to confirm Johnson, considering I'm pretty sure even he admitted it months ago :pac:

    Great idea for a channel.

    This sounds so much like him. Even the phrasing. It's uncanny. And the laugh/chuckle! Lucas is always good humoured in commentaries.

    Someone has compiled a list of characters who will appear in the new Star Wars movie.

    http://makingstarwars.net/2015/04/star-wars-the-force-awakens-complete-character-list/

    Interesting to see a 'Young Luke Skywalker (Flashback)'. I really hope a new trailer will be shown in the coming days... :D

    Have to admit, the practical BB-8 is very impressive, I can imagine a fair few toys of that being sold.

    I didn't realise what a mutant peter Mahew is.

    He looks like some sort of giant bear-man next to the others.

    Looks good. Fears of this being a total mess are continuing to recede.

    Press conference was a bit unnecessary, but second teaser is excellent.

    It's not a Star Wars trilogy until one ship flies inside a bigger ship.

    EDIT: Decided to spoiler it, just in case people are holding off on watching it. Not much spoiler material in there to be honest, at least in my opinion.

    When I saw Han and Chewie I didn't realise I have that many hairs on the back of my neck! Fantastic stuff. Not sure that I want to see much more than that but it's going to be so hard not to watch the next one.

    I was like that, the music just resonates with me. Hearing Luke speak was a major goosebump moment :o

    is the implication that the girl
    thats being handed the lightsaber related to Luke (Leia's kid)?

    Cause I'm getting a fair whiff of herring from it.
