Absolitely terrible. That lightsaber looks really off and the costume looks like a generic Sith Lord.

I'm agreeing with you guys about the saber. The inspiration taken from Darth Revan doesn't bother me really (something we haven't seen in the live-action films before) but that claymore-saber with the mini-sabers, as already said, doesn't quite look right and appears unpractical in a few ways. I'll give it credit for being different, but that's all for now. I'd sooner rather see a blaster and saber built together as one; that would be much more practical.

MakingStarWars describes the villain as looking like a crusador knight, so IF we do see that saber, or preferably a variant of it (anything BUT mini-sabers for the crossguard), here's hoping it will actually impress us and change our minds about it :)

Yeah there's a lot of hoods in SW ;) but I was meaning a saber-wielding main villain with a mask like that.

 I suppose this remembering of yourself happened after you were dismembered by the above-mentioned general?

 I think you want the word "remind", not "remember"

Yes, thanks! English is not my native language and sometimes I forget basic things

How are there spoilers for a movie that hasn't even finished production yet and could change before final release?

LOL

THIS is awesome!!!  My daughter and I also LOVE Svengoolie and I've known for some time that Mark is too.  Ordered my daughter a T-shirt just like this for X-mas this year.

 All the leaked set photos and such aren't spoilers? That there are updated Stormtrooper costumes is a spoiler in my book.

To me the term "spoiler" has more to do with the plot of the movie and all it's revelations, not pictures from the set.

Stormtroopers being present in the movie does have to do with the plot...

It means the Empire still exists in some form or other, so we now know something about the conflict. It isn't a major spoiler, and I don't think anyone ever said it was, but it's a spoiler nonetheless. If a picture of Spiderman being filmed on the set of an Avenger's movie was leaked, it would be a spoiler. The existence of Spiderman in the Avenger's universe and his reveal would be spoiled. In this case, the existence of the Empire and stormtroopers (and this Empire is able to afford chrome troopers, indicating they're still a strong power) spoils that reveal and the fact that we're still going to be seeing conflict with the Empire.

The same goes for the pictures of Sith we've seen. They're undeniably spoilers; the only question is how significant they are.

We see it differently, that's all. 

Pictures are cool to see.  They don't spoil anything for me since they are concept art and some set shots.  It gives me an idea of the feel of what is to come which I look forward to but it doesn't tell me how the movie ends or what everyone's motivations are.

I want it to be a surprise so discussion from me on the topic is really the last thing on my mind.

It's all good.

Imagine if this had gotten out in late 1982. ;)

What the Ewoks looked like were spoiled for me by a local L.A. newscast in 1983, mere weeks before the movie was out. Somebody put the ROTJ puzzles out on the toy shelves too early.
