When the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer dropped it was generally well received. Though there were many fans who did not like the new lightsaber design, and now it seems Obi Wan Kenobi himself shares those sentiments.

“You don’t need hilts. If you know how to handle a lightsaber you don’t need a silly hilt…The Jedi Order managed very well without hilts for hundreds of millions of years!”

I actually think that the crossguard is not only totally badass, but very practical and deadly as explained by ThegnThrand

Hahaha.


And that dude in the video is a badass. I liked how he put paint on the crossguard to show if you know how to wield a sword, it won't touch you.

And a crossguard isn't a bad idea considering how many hands have been cut off.

@TheAmbassador

The third season isn't as strong, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially the meta-jokes about "save our Bluths" representing save AD. I liked the Ritta wee-brain arc.


The fourth season was completely different out of necessity due to the actors scheduling conflicts, there's only one location where the entire cast is together, but how they play off it is genius. It's quite brilliant after you watch the entire fourth season and realize just how creative it was. It's different, but it's great in it's own AD way.

I mean Michael/Jason Bateman was the only character to appear in every episode, which the whole cast together made the first three seasons special, but it still worked. For me anyways. It took a few episodes, about the Anustart epi, before it found it's stride and I "got it." Will Arnett confirmed the fifth season, but I'm hoping they wait until they coordinate the entire casts schedules so everyone can appear together.
