No, i looked at the video before commenting. Lightsaber tips were always rounded until Episodes 2 & 3 (they were old school in episode 1) , when the pointy option kicked in. It's just something i can't stand about the prequel sabers.
As for Rebels, then i can't see why that would make you worried about the sabers in episode 7. Rebels designs are heavily influenced by the classic Ralph McQuarrie designs/ concept paintings. The style of the sabers are taken directly from those, as Dave Filoni has himself said.
The concept images they use in rebels look like shit. I mean I understand your point on the pointy tips in EPIII, but these are just too skinny and unrealistic as far as using a light saber this thin to deflect laser blasts. (Lets now use a golf club shaft to hit baseballs now in MLBS.) Concept art should be left alone it is a concept and that it. It does not really mean it will translate well in motion.
I can assure you my ESB version will not anywhere look like EP III sabers (point tips. More somewhere in between.
As Rebels go, once it goes to BD format i have future plans of re-scoping those (THIN) sabers. I mean they got James Earl Jones back to reprise his role as Vader, that alone warrants my attention in this series.
Everyone I guess has there cup of preferred tea. That is why this site exists I guess.
