Oh man, this is from Kinja, isn't it? I've been to io9.com a lot (science page) and there are a lot, like a lot of feminazis. It really pisses me off. They even invaded my precious nerd-sci-fi-fanboism-website!
You do. Just watch this trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v93Jh6JNBng
Its the George Lucas version of the new SW7 trailer. Then you'll immediately notice, that J.J. Abrams is doing things right. Also, it is a teaser trailer, you don't even see much of the film, how can you already hate it?
GUIZE, the main reason for this to be added into the movie is: it looks cool and standard lightsaber is too old. At least they thought so.
Also, this has been in the star wars universe for ages, it's just the first time in a movie.
