Hehe, I could see most of those being used at some point.
The crossguard doesn’t bother me too much, though it looks like someone could still cut straight through it after crossing blades, which makes it pretty pointless.
IMO, if they wanted to make viewers say, “Oh @$#%!!!” they should have someone do Wolverine’s claws, lightsaber style.
The lightsaber with cross guard has been a thing since the early star wars, but was only used by 1 jedi that wasnt shown in the movies and rarely in any comics, but was also referenced in KOTOR at the Jedi Academy. I’m actually excited to see who is weilding the cross guard lightsaber because i’m speculating it could be the offspring of that 1 jedi. I would really like to have seen the Lightpassiveaggressiveremarkaboutyourweight though, I think that would have been amazing 😀
