A lot of people say that the design is dumb, but they are thinking too much in terms of traditional sword combat.

If the cross-guard-hilt was used to defend attacks that way, the end-result would be the same as if it wasn't there (therefore no worse in that regard). The cross-guard-hilt would only be marginally riskier for a jedi, from an occupational safety point of view of cutting off their own hands.

The cross-guard-hilt on a lightsaber would make a lot more sense in terms of attacking. When the sabers clash, the wielder with the crossguard may be able to angle the blade down, then quickly rotate, giving their opponent a facefull of mini-lightsaber blade.

I hope Disney don't piss all over the two decades of canon Expanded Universe story.

The new lightsaber looks to be more of a claymore, to be used with two hands.

Plus Stephen Colbert has a pretty good explaination for the hilt

I think it's an estoc, so I hope the sith has a fencing/duelist style of fighting

Indeed there will be times when it comes in handy (hurr hurr) but what about when like you say, they clash lightsaber? If his opponent strikes him hard enough it could cause his hand to slide up the hilt and snikt "LOOK MA, NO HANDS!"

From the look of the trailer, it has the right blend, CG hasn't been used to create scenes, only to enhance them, also, the new droid, BB8, isn't actually CG apparently
