    What lightsabers will they feature in Ep 7? Will we see the double sided? Longer/broad swords types. Trick sabers...turning it off and on to evade and attack...etc

    Something I'm hoping for is minimal use of the lightsabers, more like ANH, where their use was more symbolic.

    I doubt it though.

    There will be lightsabers and lightshields.

    Please, No to minimal use. That's my least favorite part of ANH, the lack of lightsaber usage

    Any more lightsabers in ANH would have been gratuitous. It had what it needed.

    spacename_the_name - While we are glad that you are back posting with regularity and that you are apparently rather excited to have discovered our "Create New Thread" function... we do not need multiple new threads each day on topics being discussed in other threads. For your convenience, there is a handy "existing" thread guide at the top of the main page and our "Search" feature is nearly as fun to incessantly use as our "Create New Thread" button. Slow down on the thread creation.

    No. The lightsaber must stay as it's always been. I mean what 'advancement' could you actually do to a lightsaber anyway.

    Don't forget about the I-saber Nano(because the basic model is just too damn bulky and unfashionable) and the I-saber Shuffle(you know, for the ADHD Sith or Jedi who just isn't satisfied unless their I-saber chooses a new color at random every time they activate it).

    Light-axes, light-whips, light-shields, light-nunchucks, etc. Actually, this movie could benefit from minimal lightsaber duels, etc. I don't want this movie to be reduced to a video game.

    A triple sided lightsaber would be amazing.

    I'de prefer very few lightsabers. Don't get me wrong, I love lightsabers, but the amount of people properly trained to use them in this era is looking pretty slim.

    I'm not too worried about Lightsaber overkill, 1. Because I love lightsabers, and 2. Based on when this film will take place, I can't imagine there are going to be many Jedi/Sith just hanging around. It's not like in the PT where there were thousands of Jedi around every day.

    If anything we should see a devolution in style, in regards to the lightsaber and other tech. The rumors so far say the GFFA is even more beat up than it was in the OT. Hence, devolved styles.

    So maybe these Force sensitives try to make sabers but they're not very elegant looking, but sort of like cobbled together with available parts? Like if the Falcon was a lightsaber.

    Hell, I'm just happy that the Forms are canon now (Inquisitor mentioned them in one of the Rebels clips).

    There's a clip from Rebels during a Kannan/Inquisitor duel where the inquisitor tells him he(Kannan) favors "Form 3" (Ataru) and that he's sloppy and unpracticed.

    If we're talking devolved styles, I'd love to see a protosaber...

    If Luke hasn't been around to train Jedi, and Force sensitives are out there trying to learn the ways of the Jedi/Sith, including saber-building, it'd be cool if some of them made their own makeshift lightsabers that require the external power supply.

    This is an extremely advanced galaxy. A devolved lightsaber wouldn't make much sense. For example, Luke built one and no one showed him how. It seems to me that anyone with tech savvy, and definitely knowledge of energy weapons, could build one if they wished. I expect the lightsabers in this trilogy to be like what we've seen in the last six films with maybe one character having a unique or exotic blade.

    Preserve the ancient mystery of the light sabre as seen in the Rebels pilot.
