the new saber designs...what do you think?

Unless a volley of blaster fire is aimed at the hand in the middle of the rotating blades!?

the cross guard saber has emitters on either side...so your hand would slide up yes...but not hit blade...it would hit the emitter...

as to the pike...you have to use a whole different fighting style...pikes and spears are used completely different from staves and sabers...

and the shafts of the pikes in starwars were made with a cortosis weave which would negate a lightsabers blade should it come into contact...

But the inquisitor showed that he could extend only one blade and just use it as a normal lightsaber if he wanted to. So the new saber is really just an additional feature. And he demonstrated knowledge of the Jedi saber form which focuses on deflecting blaster attacks. I forget the name right now, but I'm pretty sure he mentions the form by name specifically.
So yeah, I think no matter what weaknesses it has while in spin mode, I think it's still inherently better than a standard issue styled lightsaber since it's just an additional feature.

soresu....the defensive form

the inquisitor had knowledge and understanding of all the forms and skills jedi used...it was his job to know...that's how they hunted down the stragglers...
