    The stuff, that we see in all teasers so far, is bothering me.

    [​IMG]

    It doesn't look like blaster or a gun, but some kind of melee weapon. The stuff looks very much like it have lightsaber attached at the end. A bit rusty and neglected lightsaber, but still, resemblance is undeniable.

    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Maybe she can even detach it if needed and end up with double bladed lightsaber, Exar Kun style?

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Personally, I would love to see lightsaber pike in movies, 'cause in opposition to other variations, it's really quite practical (especially if you can detach it for lets say close quarters fight).

    Any thoughts?

    Theater cleanup crews will go on mass strike if this turns out to be true.

    If she gets backed into a corner, looking completely helpless only to ignite that thing out of the blue, everyone in the theater is going to lose their minds.

    I think it's just a staff, not a lightsaber of any kind.

    I figure it's a cobbled together electrostaff, similar to the ones used by General Grievous' personal guards.

    Could be, but I doubt it. The very end of stuff looks too similar to lightsaber (even have something that looks like on/off switch on left side) and it's asymmetric (the other end is slimmer without saber-like tip).

    Looks like a magna guard electro staff, nothing is more uselees then a staff lighsaber, you can`t use the extended range you get, because you expose the fragile hilt in fight at the same time.

    I thought the end looked similar to Darth Maul's Lightsaber.

    Alongside Finn's costume at Celebration was concept art showing Finn with Anakin's lightsaber, which I wasn't expecting because logic dictates that sword would go to Rey if she's a Solo kid (which is very likely).

    I wanted Rey to get the Excalibur lightsaber, so I was a little disappointed that Finn had it.

    Then it occurred to me: Rey already has a lightsaber right there on the end of her staff.

    Also a good way to disguise your saber (if you don't want people to know you've got one) and keep it readily available if you need it.

    I don't know...It looks like it does something. I doubt its just a cool looking staff.

    So you are mistaken. :)

    E:

    OK, hilt, not shaft. My mistake. But to be honest hilt is always exposed for damage (except maybe cross-guard he he) its not like your opponent saber can't cut through it if you holding it in your hand.

    It could be a staff with a magnetic tip. She scavenges a lot and she could swoop around the dunes on her Bumper Bike and stick the staff out to pull up some wires or engine parts. And I also like the idea of her having a hidden lightsaber that she constructed herself to pull at a pivotal moment.

    Sadly, I don't think that's going to happen because she would have to carry around that staff for half the movie and I don't see her doing that.

    But if she does start carrying it around in multiple scenes, then I know what's coming!

    I bet if it's a lightsaber it's only attached to the end of a pike and the whole thing is not a saber, just the end of it which comes off.

    Could be a cool moment in the story if at some point she just says "eff this noise" and snaps off the end and lights up the blade.

    I suspect it is just a staff. I'm sure she is quite skilled and dangerous with it.

    Finn may have Luke's blue saber but I feel like it is eventually going to end up with Rey

    I started thinking if Ray indeed have Skywalker blood in her then it's quite logical that she was trained by either Luke or Leia in the ways of the force. So we can assume that she's already quite efficient in combat, and already build her lightsaber. In that case Finn would be the newbie, which is why he is the one with Luke's lightsaber.

    Also sorry for possible mistakes I'm writing from tablet and auto-correct doesn't work.
