It certainly has the profile and stubbiness to be a flashlight. The rear section center-point it too narrow IMO for any functional sight, and looks more like a button. That and it doesn't make sense to have a secondary sight put on the forward-righthand side of the blaster.
All signs point to a light and or targeting assist type device, but I'm leaning towards a flashlight given it's shape, size and position.

New Greeble!!!!
It looks exactly like a flashlight that is used on the front rail of a modern assault rifle. That round circle on the back end of it is the on/off button. More or less like the photo in the post above. Google "front rail" "tactical" "Surefire" Surefire is a brand name, look under "weapon lights" I'm not sure what brand it is on the E11 but it defiantly looks like a weapon light.
It might be a light for a handgun.

I was about to go looking for one but damn that looks pretty close. Wow that's expensive!

Exactly my thoughts when I searched for online suppliers.
Couldn´t they simply use a CHEAP add-on...would have been a nice exception from the usual "rare/ expensive/hard to find" experience we know from the OT props :lol
You can get Chinese knock-offs of the M300 light. They are used for airsoft typically.

I personally don't have any issues with variations on the E-11. We saw LOTS of variations in ANH, so it seems plausible to me. Besides, this isn't even a modification. It's just an accessory.

I dont think they needed to modify the Stormtrooper Blaster. The time between this film and the events of Star Wars dont seem that far apart unless im missing something.

Well said. How stupid to add something that makes the e11 ugly to sell more toys??...lame:sick

That's like saying that simply because there is a shoulder pauldron on the troopers Tatooine, That they modified the armor in the first 30 minutes of the movie. This part appears to simply be a specialized piece of equipment that is there as either an enhancement to the weapon for performance or mission needs. There are plenty of attachments for real military weapons, why not for an E-11? One could say that the counter on the side is an optional attachment since it is seen missing on E-11s in A New Hope.
Is this a required comment that needs to be said every time something new shows up in Star Wars? Yes, exactly, Disney wasn't going to make any money on this film or fail to sell any products, but now thanks to this, they are going to finally make a name for themselves. :rolleyes

Could be something like an offset mount for a backup sight.
Most likely a flashlight.
Can anyone tell what the base is for the E-11? Is it one of the airsoft Sterlings?
I think you are right, but it may be this knockoff instead of the real thing. Seems to match the hi-res photos that were just released a little better:
