That's it? Fifteen seconds of not very much? The remainder is advertising? What a waste of time... :Raised Eyebrow:

[HiFlyer 9,371]

That's why they call it a teaser..........  :wink:

 

Don't you feel teased? 

[n4gix 4,954]

Nope! More like I just had an exam by my proctologist, truth to tell...

[HiFlyer 9,371]

Several risque answers come to mind....... But I'll be good.  :wink:

[HiFlyer 9,371]

Actually, thinking about it, at a fan convention, that clip would have probably gotten cheers, and here's why.

 

While we have seen from earlier clips that the black character was apparently a stormtrooper, and we have seen him a few times with the female lead, this is the first hint that he might turn out to be the main "Jedi" character of the film. (Mark Hamill being a bit old except maybe for an older Ben Kenobi type role.)

 

More, In the forest scene where the presumed bad guy is seen in a wintry forest with his tri-forked Lightsaber, we can now place the films (possibly) Jedi character as well, hinting of a possible confrontation.........?

 

Teaser indeed.

 

I'm suspecting the whole point of that short clip was to get it out into the ether that the stormtrooper might also be a Jedi, at least potentially.

 

Let the speculation begin!

[n4gix 4,954]

Ah well, the movie itself will reveal all eventually.

 

I don't really see the point in the weird light saber's two side beams though. They are too short by far, IMHO.

Quillons! (I've been reading a lot of medieval sword and sorcery)  :smile:

 

I think it's been a long-term criticism of lightsabers that in a block, an opponent could simply slide his blade down yours, and slice your hands off at the wrist if you weren't quick enough.

 

On a sword, the crossguard, or cross-guard, also known as quillons,^[1] is a bar of metal at right angles to the blade, placed between the blade and the hilt. The crossguard was developed in the European sword around the 10th century for the protection of the wielder's hand. The earliest forms were seen in late Viking swords, and it became a standard feature of the Norman sword of the 11th century and of the knightly arming sword throughout the high and late medieval period. Early crossguards were straight metal bars, sometimes tapering towards the outer ends. While this simple type was never discontinued, more elaborate forms developed alongside it in the course of the Middle Ages. The crossguard could be waisted or bent in the 12th and 13th century.

Luke seems to have done alright with his prosthetic hand, so what's to worry about! :He He:

 

I know what cross guards are, I just had a brief memory lapse for the exact term. Don't get old if there's any way around it. :Shame On You:

Don't get old if there's any way around it.

Traveling through hyperspace ain’t like dusting crops, but you all probably know that already.

[HiFlyer 9,371]

Interesting to see this robot is a practical model. Pretty ingenious, and I would have never believed it without seeing it.
