Mouth of swords (or the 3 reasons why you'll get to love the new lightsword from SW7)

The trailer for Star Wars 7 is out.
No I did not see myself but being on the social network linked with quite a bunch of geeks ( and that is good 'cos I'm a bit Geeky myself) I could not really escape the turmoil that this new trailer has raised.

The real one not the false ones that sprouted some days prior.

The fans are edgy and when it finally hits..... All we could hear about is the light sword.
Not the traditional light sabre but a sword, Game of Throne style, with a light-whatever on its handle

It is fun, it is ugly, it is a treason...... Hear a bit all or nothing on this one.

So here's the three reasons that settle this question.

1- It is done !

You can bicker, pester, marvel all you want. The trailer is something that is gonna be part of the final movie. You can use a trailer to get excited or bitch all you want. You know you're going to see the movie by yourself just to love or bitch some more about it.
Trailers are supposedly made for people who needs a invitation to go see a movie. All those who waited eagerly to see it are die hard fans who just want to get a taste of love or something to moan and bitch 'cos that is what fanboys (and girls) do.
Me ? don't care, gonna see the movie anyway.
So about this sword ? well they choose to do it, not gonna change. might like it might not. Don't have much of a choice. Either go see it or not,. have your opinion later.


2- Betrayal ! Foul play !

Lucas would never allow that...It is betrayal of the universe.
First I doubt Lucas has not his say in this.
Second, talking about the guy who, in my opinion did a big low kick balayette to his own universe with the prequels.
Lucas works better when people use his Ideas...Because back to the light sword, he is the one who made a sith use 2 light sabers as one (bo) staff. Yes  a staff, not a sword. Don't recall that much ruckuss on this one (besides the rest of the movie) before....

3- And in the end.

You know what they say.... It is not what le light sword looks like that it is important... It is how you use it.

And I hope they 'll make something out of it rather than just a cool/uncool design that make the internet talk about it.....
So you can debate love and bitch, it is your right...but what for ? Heard there were some important stuff happening in the world that should be of your concern...And where you can actually make an Impact.
