That light sabre looks stupid though, why do they keep introducing a new one for each episode? With all the technology in star wars with x wings, snow speeders, a death star, they can not seem to develop one good fucking light sabre!
I thought the point of the new sabre was practicality. In pretty much every film theres someone who has a hand chopped off by a light sabre so makes sense to have one with a cross guard like a claymore to stop that happening.
The more I think about it, the more I think that it's a badly designed lightsaber. There's a big thing about this but basically lightsabers get their blade from crystals that are kept on a Jedi world and the process of constructing one is part of the training for a young apprentice.
There is nobody for the Sith to have as a Master and guide them in constructing one. They're all dead.
It makes sense to me that this new Sith that the Force has awoken within knows that Sith/Jedi carry lightsabers and have tried to craft something like one using whispers and history books, and that is their effort.
