I don't understand the point of the red lightsabre. Lightsabres tend to stick together, if they slid down each other they would be losing hands all the time. Also those extra bits woukdnt stop that happening because they aren't projected from the main blade, there's still a gap between the base of the main blade and where the others project from.

I don't gave a problm with the trailer, but that lightsabre design just doesn't work.

It seems pretty clear the guy is wearing stormtrooper armour as it's been redesigned a lot. I doubt the film makers are going to be drawn into making many specific statements this early, that's the point of a teaser.

The arguments about him being black are rather silly. Firstly we don't know the circumstances in which he may be wearing the armour. Secondly, the first clone army was made at least 50 years prior to the new films and in Attack of the Clones the cloners say it's all been paid for, which might imply that they are not a continuous production. Anyway, it's more than conceivable that it's open to non-clones as even Luke and Biggs were expecting to join the imperial academy as pilots in New Hope.
