A metal guard won't burn through your flesh if it happens to touch you, though.
No, no, no. Red light sabres can't hurt the bad guys, green can't hurt the good guys.
Ohhhhhh ok I see, well this clears it up then

The hilt would obviously be designed so that your hand won't slide up and remove itself from your wrist.

I don't see why there's such an issue with a lightsaber that protects your wrist. Just about everyone in Star Wars is missing a hand or two.
If you are really good at the force, you shouldn't need that type of entry level shit.

we've all fallen for it..the whole internet has fallen for it..
in a machiavellian manoeuvre, Abrams has distracted us all from the real issue of his ability and responsibilities towards us and these films, simply by sticking a misplaced hilt on a bogus lightsaber...
if he can pull that off...

What if the battle gets really intense and the sabers get pushed right up against chests? HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF THAT?!

Hm. Well, since they deployed separately in the trailer, I must assume the guard beams can be retracted on their own with the simple push of a button. If not, hopefully this particular saber-wielder has enough training to supinate his wrist to avoid self impalement.

That's the best argument I've heard yet.

I was just having a lightsaber battle with my daughter, and I lost 3 fingers. I am sold on the hand guard.

Last night (November 30th) an enigmatic character called "Spoiler Man" took to 4chan boards claiming to be an employee of Lucasfilm, and answered some general questions about Episode VII.
Before reading, keep in mind that there is no substantial proof that this person is who they say they are, so take their information with a massive grain of salt. With that being said, based on what we know, this information is plausible if not likely -- and indicative of a good film. The brief teaser confirmed the validity of the leaked concept art from a few weeks back (http://imgur.com/a/uRMnN) and everything this "Spoiler Man" says corroborates it as well.
I have a feeling this will be the best Star Wars Trilogy yet. I do wish Abrams was directing all 3 though. I love what he did with star trek, although I hope this has a distinct style from that.

The script, which is described as "too good for JJ Abrams"...
