ya i was thinking it made the saber look like a large 2 handed sword as well. i always wondered why they never had a cross guard and they finally added one on
For the star wars noob, the new installment takes place after episode 6 correct?
Is there a story line, info to read online about how it all fits together?

Yes this happens after the 6th episode. I read somewhere there are 12 or 15 in total. Man, we're all going to be so old when they're finally all released. Even then, I think they'll keep going with the story.

All the "expanded universe" has been "revoked" by Disney. I think anything that happens after Episode VI is wiped until the next movies come out. Anything that happened around Episode I such as current comics and cartoons still count.
So when you go to see Episode VII, you'll be seeing it with eyes as fresh as the hardest core Star Wars nerd. Because everything they know about never really happened.

The problem is in the design of the lightsaber hilt. The right angle the hilt creates with the blade on a traditional longsword is meant to protect the hand when your opponent's blade slides down towards your hand, and is stopped by the hilt.
But if you look (not even) closely, that right angle is made from the base/handle itself, and not the light blade. So if the opponents light saber slid down the blade towards your hilt, it would simply lop off one side of the hilt, and possibly your hand.

is that the remains of a crashed x-wing in the foreground in that scene?
