 Random thought, inspired by the new lightsaber in the Star War VI teaser, a basket hilt lightsaber where the hand guard is made or laced with cortosis (which shorts out lightsaber blades). Block your enemies saber and then twist your hand to short out their blade.

In theory, lightsabers with crossguards makes sense and given the number of Jedi and Sith with cybernetic hands, I'm surprised no one has thought of it before. Only problem is that saber from the trailer wouldn't guard against another lightsaber since the saber would hack off the plasma projector instead of hitting the plasma crossguard. Additionally, the user of that saber would be at risk if their hand slide along the hilt. Bad design all around.
