    When I first saw that saber from that sith dude it looked silly to me. I always liked the simplicity of the old sabers....

    Until I was super fucking bored and listened to a long podcast called "now, this is podcasting", from the guys at makingstarwars.net. Their reaction to the teaser episode.

    Theres a lot of spoilers out there with this movie and they talked about the fact that the blade itself looks distorted and unrefined, and the idea that this may be an ancient sith weapon from eons before episode 1, it started to make more sense why it looks like an old broad sword with that crossbar. Like this new sith guy found it and the crystal in it is unrefined. And it was from a time before they removed the crossbar in more modern times.

    These guys know way more about star wars than me and apparently these light sabers arent anything new to the SW universe. Idk if thats true but they mentioned that these arent new. Maybe from the comics or novels or something.
