Apparently all the Star Wars noobs out there have been attempting to debunk the multi-pronged lightsaber introduced in the new The Force Awakens teaser trailer that has taken the internet by storm. We’ve been covering pretty much all things #SW7 reactions, but it takes the nation’s foremost expert — a man who saw the original two weeks before the rest of the world! — to really explain how lightsaber plasma beams work to all the “stuck up half-witted scruffy-looking nerf-herders” on Twitter.

Things get equal parts awesome and educational around the 3:00 mark.
