I did because that acually has practical use in a Bo staff kind of way. This one changes the saber into a bastard sword and the light-hilt looks like it causes more accidents than anything.

interesting how in this technologically advanced galaxy a long time ago far far away the combat aircraft still target by sight alone, using reticules, like WWII Spitfire pilots
so, big frickin' lasers, but no targetting system - except the one that Luke turns off at the end of Ep4 at the suggestion of ObiWan, which mysteriously only works on static targets like exhaust ports. wtf

Remember that the exhaust ports are "5 metres" wide and an experienced pilot thinks hitting that target is "impossible, even for a computer".
Actually re: the targetting system, Darth Vader uses one to target Luke Skywalker but has trouble getting a lock on, saying "The Force is strong with this one!".
Also I think you'll find that some sort of targetting system is briefly displayed in the Millenium Falcon when they go up against Tie-Fighters.

so a 15ft wide static target is impossible to hit at reasonably close range even by a computer. the ones on the Falcon are just the digital display of a physical reticule. the gunner still has to do everything manually. this is the kind of anachronism i was pointing out
don't have a nerdgasm, chump
(also, why doesn't Vader use the force to lock on to Luke, instead of relying on the obviously shit-tier computer on his Tie Fighter? because George Lucas, that's why)

The first 6 star wars movies were terrible so it wouldn't take much to make a decent movie in comparison... Even with a black guy in the lead?...

Episodes 4, 5, and 6 are the only episodes to be acknowledged. I shouldn't have to tell you nerds that...

That lightsaber is really retarded. I hope they keep the fanservice at a bearable level.
I'd be glad if they left out Boba Fett.
