Exactly, and until it's specifically stated that the lightsaber's hilt is made of Mandalorian iron, then people are perfectly justified in calling it a Shitty McShitastic design. You of all people should be on my side with this.Darth Rosenberg said:

If they want to use EU, then use EU, this kinda sorta s*** is irritating. It's made the Star Wars Universe more confusing, and the more they plagiarizer Legends canon but alter it to seem original, the worse it gets.Darth Rosenberg said:
The context of your comment was irrelevant, seeing as how it has not been stated officially that Sith McCrossGuard's lightsaber is made of lightsaber-proof material. Any justification beyond that is pointless, regardless of the context, seeing as how it's still purely conjecture. To my point, however, there's nothing to lead anyone to believe that the lightsaber in question is made out of anything different than the lightsabers we've seen in every other movie...which have, on a couple occasions, been cut/destroyed by other lightsabers.Darth Rosenberg said:You excluded/ignored the context for my comment, but whatevs.RJ 17 said:Exactly, and until it's specifically stated that the lightsaber's hilt is made of Mandalorian iron, then people are perfectly justified in calling it a Shitty McShitastic design.

This was answered in the post that your first quoted off of me in this topic:
Don't like that particular design? How about this one:RJ 17 said:The design they're using just wouldn't work for it's intended purpose. Any lightsaber blade sliding down the blade of the lightsaber would a cross guard would just slide right through the side-beam's emitter.
A better design - that is, one that would actually function - would look something like this:
Have the side-beams curve back around, one crossing in front of the primary beam, the other crossing behind it. This way the enemy's blade is safely captured by the beams of your cross guard rather than slicing right through your cross guard's emitter.

Oh, THANK you. God forbid the movie should surprise me in any way, shape or form. The "" tag exists for a reason, you know.
You overestimate my exposure to J.J. Abrams' work. I don't think I've seen a single film of his.circularlogic88 said:
but what if it wasn't meant for defense and more for offense? there were in fact large swords made in the Gothic age that had crossguards that were bladed and not intended for defense but for offense in the style that they used. so id say don't call it stupid till we see how its used in the movie, if they use it as you think then ill more then happily bash the hell out of it but if they use it like I think they will then it will be awesomeRJ 17 said:As Nazulu mentions in his response: it's more about the design than the fact that it exists.ecoho said:

For the record, 1975's Jaws was THE franchise that started blockbuster movies, but Star Wars took it to another level, mostly thanks to the merchandising and sequel quality (the rights of both having been secured by George Lucas before 20th Century Fox had any idea what kind of money making moster they had).Random Argument Man said:
Ah, so it's just a 'practical' issue?RJ 17 said:
Yeesh... A lightsaber has a forte, now? That text is trying to apply wholly vanilla fencing principles to lightsaber combat, which seems remarkably dopey.RJ 17 said:How about this one:
Hehehe. There was a whole heap of those that were funny.RJ 17 said:Careful what you wish for...Nazulu said:
So we should just make it more ridiculous then? We ate up the original design already, going down paths that make even less practical sense is never a good idea. And as I said in post 11, it makes the whole universe seem stupidly slow if this is meant to be an improvement.Darth Rosenberg said:
