why is that the evil side will get their light saber red-ish?

Same reason the Decepticons have red eyes.

Because red is "evil". Unless we're dealing with Spider-Man. Or Deadpool. Or Optimus Prime. Or Superman. Or . . . .

It's probably to create a visual link to Darth Vader's red lightsaber, honestly.

Red has been the dark side color and the color of the empires gun/laser fire while the rebels etc always have green.  It just helps, they can't all be the same color, having them different helps during fights so you can get a better sense of what's going on and who's shooting who.

As far as the new Japanese trailer goes, I don't get why they get a different, more expanded, version compared to the one we got before?  This new one gives away a bit more of the story actually, not exactly spoilers, but it answers a few things.

Actually most blasters in Star Wars are red. Though it depends on the gun, Most post-Clone Wars guns are red, whereas clone blasters were generally blue.

Red was not the only saber that was considered "dark side", Technically, purple was considered dark side as well, but later was considered a multi-side color. Orange is sometimes considered dark as well.

I'm still pretty bothered by that red lightsaber though.. but I'll be okay with it as long as its some type of Artifact Lightsaber

As for the Japanese trailer, very interesting that this wasn't officially a US trailer, though it could eventually be.

why hasn't more details of the plot been revealed yet? wanna know what part luke has in the story and is there a death star type super weapon? the poster shows a big round thing...looks awfully familiar.

 

 

Why would you want to know? I'd rather they keep it all a secret instead of having it be like Terminator Genesys where the trailer shows literally everything and you don't actually have to see the movie after watching it.

Read the article. It's a terminally ill fan who Disney let see an early screening before he passed. Nice of them. :)

But you're right - it was a very nice gesture on Disney's part!

Actually, the big round thing IS Luke! Things got a little weird for Mr. Skywalker after his dad died . . .

:shiftyninja:

 

In all honesty, I'm doing my best to avoid all information about the film - I want to be surprised!

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
