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!

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
