A partial x light saber like darth maul. What's the purpose of the short little pieces of light saber?

Yeh, that's not what I was thinking. I heard rumors of why it was designed that way, technically, but I won't get into that...
From a philosophical stand point , red (the sith saber color) represents anger, danger, passion, and blood in film language.
The cross symbolizes persecution, or sacrifice..... So it draws me in as a viewer to see that symbolism......
the sabers are different in design.

That interpretation may have more or less angles than i've given it, but from what i've seen of Abrams (not that I'm a huge fan), he's not a reckless, or irresponsible filmmaker, so I would be highly surprised if several of the cues I've seen in the trailer means nothing.... even a decent film has several subtextual layers.
Honestly, as a fan, besides "The Empire Strikes Back", & Maybe "A New Hope" the Star Wars series has been average (and ROTJ was really a toy selling vehicle). The story idea, journey, and technological cutting edge (more so with the original series) has been the torch barer for the films. George Lucas is not a very good director/story teller imo (original, & I, II, III).
Interesting tidbit, when Lucas first saw Empire Strikes Back (directed by Irvin Kershner), he hated it. He vowed to have much more control coming into "ROTJ" The storyline went from dark to light
, with an emphasis on marketing....... To this day, The Empire Strikes Back is critically acclaimed as the best of the series from a filmmaking standpoint.

It's basically just a Swiss Army lightsaber...the rest of the thing didn't make the cut for the teaser.

I cannot wait to see the new Star Wars. Never mind the crap Hollywood shoved down our throats after the last great Star Wars movie, Return of the Jedi. This one finally looks like it holds some promise. I'm almost as excited about this one much like I was back when I was a kid enjoying the original Star Wars movies.

It looked to me to be an 'Old Republic' style lightsaber from long ago, or a version faultily-crafted by someone not fully trained in how to create one.

You know the three themes right? Sand, Ice and Forest.... Per each movie, ANH, TESB and ROTJ....
