Okay, about that whole crossguard lightsaber thing in The Force Awakens trailer:
Here’s the Washington Post article mentioned in the podcast that dives into lightsaber-resistant material.
And about the lightsaber activation noise at the end of the teaser trailer…
Good Morning America reports that it’s Luke lightsaber. Specifically, the original blue one he lost in the Cloud City duel. Which maybe gives an uptick to the rumor from past months that the lightsaber was found, and that it helps to drive the plot of the movie. Whoa.
Star Wars Fun Fact
Surprising or little known Star Wars tidbits, sometimes related to today’s Force Feature.Okay, it’s been confirmed! The voice you’re hearing in the teaser trailer is none other than Andy Serkis. Motion capture, voiceover, is there anything he can’t do?! As for “who” he is, and whether that’s him with the red-bladed lightsaber in the trailer (it’s certainly not the robot, unless his motion capture skills have evolved exponentially!), well, that information is still under wraps. (Image via Wookieepedia) But, that being said, he *sounds* like a bad guy, so maybe our villain is a motion captured/virtual one? Hmmmmm…
