    Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer

    To be honest it's quite a strange thing, I genuinely think most people who brought up the question were honestly asking about it with regards to the EU, and the way the Empire was portrayed as Nazi-like, with assumptions that ST's were blonde haired and blue eyed, but in a rush to be PC (and rightly so) HUNDREDS of threads popped up basically saying "So Stormtroopers can't be Black Huh? I think..." etc etc, so for every 1 thread asking why, there are 30 threads calling Star Wars fans and George Lucas racist.

     

    So I think it's a good discussion and it's bringing up valid points, but there has been a lot of intellectual dishonesty, or at least "Playing dumb" for the sake of Starting a flame-war, which sucks, and sullies the amazing acting and emotion John Boyega brought to that 2 second scene, in fact it's probably the best acting in Star Wars since 1983.

     

    I made that meme to try and cool the jets in a couple of Facebook threads lol

    From the observations we get from the trailer, it looks like some kind of supercharged laser sword. I'm guessing that this saber is either home-made or possibly even ancient and that what we're seeing is excess heat/energy being vented in order for the laser sword to not... explode.

     

    Light-claymore aside, check out the bad dudes walk and the aggressive way he ignites that laser sword of his. It's pretty bad ass.

     

    My initial thoughts exactly, I think it may even be a completely different technology, more akin to an electro-staff, than the well known focusing crystal based weapon. It would also be cool if, like you say, was an ancient design, much like the Protosabers of 5,000 BBY.

     

    On a side note, I've heard rumors (From the same people who predicted this trailers content almost frame for frame) That this "Dark Cyborg Man" is more of a Fanatic, than an actual Sith or trained force user, so maybe he just doesn't have the knowledge, skill and components to fashion a Lightsaber that works like the ones we know so well.

     

    Either way, buzzing about this trailer! can't wait until Christmas 2015

    Can't wait, and I still have yet to see the Yavin System again yet too, I feel so nostalgic :) (Leveling to 55 in 2.5 days with the new 12x XP bonus was nice too lol!)

    Forgot to add Form

    I copied and pasted this from an old thread I used to frequent as I haven't actually played my Sent for a long time, but try this rotation (You'd be surprised how much space you have when you purge your toolbar of unneeded abilities)

     

    -Zen

    -Precision Slash + Master Strike +/- Blade Storm

    -Dispatch

    -Blade Storm with Opportune Attack

    -Blade Rush to maintain buff and proc

    -Opportune Attack

    -Twin Saber Throw if okay to AoE

    -Zealous Strike or Strike

     

    Edit: Use Ataru form from level 20 onwards.

    Jedi Sentinel - Skill tree question(s)...

    Hi there, I've got a level 13 Jedi Sentinel character and to be honest I have no idea what I should be putting the points into. (I got 2 unused ones atm)

     

    All advice appreciated. :)

     

    Hey, try this build >> Click Me << it's a generic Solo DPS build, but It'll help you while leveling, you can obviously personalise or even change skill trees/role as you get to grips with your Character and find your play style.

     

    By the way, do Jedi Knights even use Force Accuracy?? :confused:

     

    Yes :) Strength >= Accuracy (110%) > Surge (70%) > Power > Crit (25%)

    2-1 loss again for England, we are number 2 behind America in the world's most hated countries so I don't expect sympathy, but I think we need to go out, if only to push the team to make better decisions and team member choices. It's hard when you make a sport popular and make it your national pastime, yet aren't actually any good at it. It doesn't help that the majority of our Leagues are made up of foreign players, give's us a false sense of our skill, as the Premier League is so popular.

    I go through stages, I'm currently just logging in and buying outfits lol, next month I may be on all the time running WZ's, who knows... I generally never Cancel/stop playing Star Wars games, if this was another IP I probably wouldn't play as it's far from Amazing (The way factions are separated, and communication isn't good enough really lowers the potential of this game for me)

    That's awesome, my first SWtOR Guild (2008-2012) was an RP guild, and I had extensive back-stories, fanfic and RP with my Characters, unfortunately the guild became an elite PVP guild, all the RPers left, Servers merged and the website stopped being paid for, so I don't even know if I can access my old stories anymore, but it was fun none the less, especially in the year or 3 before release.
