J.J. Abrams Talks STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS and The Crossguard Lightsaber
Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams spoke with Collider yesterday (at the Visual Effects Society Awards) about the ongoing discussion of the new lightsaber design revealed in the first teaser trailer for the highly anticipated film.
Abrams admitted the decision regarding the crossguard saber was a controversial one internally as well.
“It was a number of conversations [that led to the design]. It was a sketch that became a whole thing and, you know, this was not done without a lot of conversation and it’s fun to see people have the conversation that we had, but in reverse.”
“I will say that what’s been funny is, since the lightsaber’s come out, I cannot tell you how many contradictory emails I have received from people who have both defended it with unbelievably detailed graphics…I’ve gotten things that are nuts, and I’ve gotten people who’ve shown how it’ll kill you and how it doesn’t make any sense. It’s been the funniest thing to see the arguments that have developed over this thing.”

I never understood interventions. What’s the point of being told you drink too much from a room full of reasons why you drink in the first place?
