kinda totally missing the point. "oh noes poison gas" or "oh noes there was an explosion 27 rooms over" is equally fucking retarded. There is no reason why 2 jedi's would draw their light saber's for any reason other than darth maul walking in and pulling his light saber out to fight them. It's a weapon used in duels vs other force sensitive combatants because the force can counter technological weapons like blasters (if you are strong enough in the force, otherwise the force can guide your lightsaber to reflect blaster shots). but in normal combat, the blaster has nearly obsoleted it as a weapon. If they were so retarded to think that drawing a weapon was the appropriate response to noise heard down the hall very far away they should of pulled blasters. But lucas is a retarded hack and is distracted by bright colors and loud noises so that's what he wrote.
The lightsaber is an archaic weapon used almost ceremoniously by jedi. The only reason vader has one is because he is a fallen Jedi rather than a true sith. Vader is also a strict traditionalist who favors the force over technology (despite being a cyborg) while the emperor embraces technology. Luke has none of those hangups and runs around blasting people (or force choking them) and only uses the lightsaber when it would actually make sense to use it.
But I guess after you rubberstamp enough books for the EU so you can collect more paychecks and make more toys all that shit goes out the window so now I guess the sith use them too.
that's fine it's cool to run around in sw games with lightsabers.

Nah, she just opened some whoop ass on them after they broke into her ice castle. The real moral of the story is being a dyke is cool and men are lying assholes
They better have a good explanation for that Storm trooper fight because you don't set up a weapon that is supposed to be Excalibur for melee then have something that looks like it was made by Fisher Price easily deflect it.

I got the feeling the First Order has been OUT THERE in the Rim and such, and naturally have new weapons and technologies.
They probably have defeated Orders that use the Force too. Now they're fucking back. Either way until the movie airs trying to figure shit out from .64123128758325897634782562387658768 seconds of information makes you sound like this.

TV spots 7 and 8 are identical except for the next to last shot w/ BB-8
There was one that supposedly showed Maz Kanata up but Disney had it pulled.
edit: Here is another version of it. Turns out it was the British Cartoon Network spot that came out a while ago:

Wow are you guys for real? Lol. This thread is already shaping up to be potentially more entertaining than the movie. Epic forum wars incoming in the future, I have foreseen it!

I get your point, but it shouldn't take lame lore (yeah, Star Wars lore fucking sucks compared to X-Men lore or GoT lore) to explain away the painfully gratuitous use of a light saber.
Plinkett's right. Light sabers aren't cool because of extravagantly choreographed sword fights, and they sure as hell shouldn't be used to dispatch trash mobs. Reserve them for climactic showdowns that play up drama, not sword dancing.
Fucking show me why I should care about Finn or Rey before you expect me to give a damn about another action scene.
Where is this explanation in any of the movies? Where is an example of any vibro weapon?
Yeah thought so doesn't exist. I like how they took some random weapon off a background character like a Gamorrean guard , and are all like clearly this is a vibro weapon lol.
