When the new Star Wars movie debuted its teaser trailer on Friday, many fans have been analysing every frame for clues as to what's going to happen when the force finally does awaken in December 2015. But the new light saber spotted at the end has not gone down too well with many of the franchise's die-hard fans.
The whooshing sword, an iconic part of the Star Wars universe, now comes complete with a laser crossguard, seen in the hands of a mysterious character in a forest. Since the trailer went live on Friday, many fans have weighed in with their opinions – mercilessly ripping the design to shreds with a series of elaborate memes:
