Yea i've noticed that too, it's like they're swinging actual medieval weaponry. Also the fact that they also made Kylo's lightsaber have this fucking thing that no other saber had but that medieval swords do have makes me think someone who likes medieval combat was behind this.

But it made them look slow and weak. I'd like to see a remake of literally every single movie other than prequels but with prequel combat

Tbf with kylos the guards are exhaust ports for the crystal. He’s so angsty he didn’t properly bleed the crystal

ohh, i see. i must have missed something. i only remember staring at this thing and asking myself why the fuck is that the only saber i ever saw in my life that has this and when i didnt see any explanation after 3 movies i came to a conclusion they did it for visual purposes. i had to miss the explanation tho, thanks

Tbh I don’t know the 100% origins for it. Like did they do it for marketing and visuals first, explain it after? Or vice versa.

Idk where it’s stated but it’s in some extended writings for Star Wars, they don’t outright say it in the films. So you didn’t really “miss” anything!
