I genuinely prefer slim and ergonomic designs of Prequel trilogy hilts. Not the thermos looking chonky hilts even larger than Graflex 3 cell flashgun. I get that the technology for longer battery power made them do so, yet I don't understand why the prop team would not use carbon bladed stunt props from OT and PT, and rotoscope the plasma blade.
I’m screaming laughing right now

Or the long tradition of stunt props and hero props. Stunts being the thicker, chunky ones, and the heroes can be as nice and slim as wanted.

It's still hard for some of us to get past. When I think of a lightsaber, I still think of the OT sabers, with Obi-Wan describing them to Luke as "an elegant weapon for a more civilized age." Maybe that's just old Ben waxing poetic in his twilight years, but it's kind of ingrained in me. These sabers don't look very "elegant."
They clearly had zero idea of who the actual villain was by the time the box art needed to be submitted.

Looks like we'll get individual character models too:

Thanks to starwarslife and @hasbro for inducting me into the Yord Horde by sending me an official Star Wars: Lightsaber Force Kyber Core Yord Fandar lightsaber! I’ll be sure to stick my neck out on Jedi missions now that I have such a stunning saber! #starwars #starwarscommunity...

This is what I mean a few pages back when i said I thought they were cheating it a bit. I mean-- it's not a huge deal, stunt sabers have a long history of being different from the hero/canonical saber they represent.

My headcanon is that the lightsabers are thicc to honor how they looked when Star Wars The Old Republic first came out.
Not sure how accurate but The Stranger lightsabers are out in the wild.
