** Star Wars Episode VII - SPOILERS WITHIN **

This may seem a surprise but when the Emperor died, the entire Empire didn't all suddenly keel over and die. An entire galaxy of Imperials :p

Maybe so but that was sort of the insinuation at the end of the third movie, that they would collapse and just scatter. With Vader and the Emperor gone id imagine some kind of power struggle would have taken place which could have ended up with multiple factions aligning to specific commanders or something along those lines.
 
Well the Empire weren't just on Endor and the second Death Star so I would guess they will say pockets of loyal forces remained throughout the galaxy. Seems perfectly reasonable to me and the books did the same.

Yeah stupid, show horn another sabre in for the sake of it. They went thousands of years with just a single or double blade. In the prequels SLJ wanted a purple blade, fair enough. Then Disney have conjured up the Inquisitor, another sith with another retarded lightsabre and now this broadsword with a hilt that would do the wielder more damage :D

Every one of these films is going to **** on the lore of the first 3, I guess we better get used to it. The Rebels series is just awful, can't believe it got made awful. Actually kids Luke wasn't the last of the jedi and there's more sith than two.

All of that had already been established in the extended universe. Even the purple lightsaber was already in the universe before the prequel films.

Possibly, an entire empire wouldn't just collapse and scatter though. Likely another commander strong enough would take control. Remote planets would likely not even know the emperor had to died for a long time and just continue operating under their governer as normal.

Didn't read the books, was more into the movies and that was it. :)
 
I love the way we are poking holes in a 88 second preview when we all know we'll each go and see it 5 times at the cinema and buy it on every format that is developed till the day we die. :D

Would't go that far, i didn't even go and see the "new" three at the cinemas or buy them :p

Be interesting to see if Disney do a Lucas and recycle them 55 times over.
 
dem black bars! that guy needs an ultrawide monitor :D

I kinda like the saber though. Didn't lucas say somewhere that he wanted the saber to feel more like a sword that had weight with heavier hits. The hilt would make sense if that's the direction they have gone. Im sure when we see it in the actual movie it will fit into place.

They originated with SLJ asking for them as part of his condition for being in the film, then it was lobbed in a couple of video games. Theres plenty of videos and literal evidence with SLJ saying Lucas said they only come in three colours. It certainly wasn't established in the SW universe, a couple of video games. Anyway as well all know the expanded universe is no longer worth **** :D

What has having a hilt got to do with weight? A hilt serves one purpose (well perhaps two) and that is protecting the wielder. How would this protect the wielder? A blade sliding down would just cut the black part of the hilt off.

I'm 95% sure that there were purple lightsabers in the universe before the prequels.

I never said the hilt had anything to do with weight.. Im just saying that I read somewhere that lucas wanted the sabers to be more like actual swords that hit heavy which would maybe explain the reason why it has a hilt because they want them to appear more like actual swords....
When you think about the original saber design it would be so simple to cut the other persons fingers off in an instant lol.
