The same one she's using elsewhere in the trailer and that comes with the action figure. Here's a closer look:

Thats so funny I Tweeted at the MSW crew I needed the Cliff notes version! The spoiler section starts about halfway through. They talk about the Knights of Ren and "the clan" that have featured in their story synopsis. It all revolves around a fight to acquire Luke's lightsaber. The shot in the trailer us of the Knights surrounded by dead members of "The Clan". Apparently Rey's family is part of The Clan and she is hidden by her parents on Jakku when she was very young. She recognized Luke's saber as the source of her pain and that's why she refuses to take it in the Maz sequence. It also explains why she seems to not know Han or the truth about the Jedi. Try and listen, it's convoluted but does all make sense. It also raises the question of her possibly being a Kenobi somehow.

Gallivanting around the galaxy as a young, dashing Jedi; beating baddies and wooing damsels he'd have a one in a trillion chance of seeing again. Ben may have been a Jedi but he wasn't dead. We all know he got freaky with some freakier space-dames.
 
I was just thinking about this today... What if Luke actually has turned to the dark side? I mean, what kind of moment would that be if after all this time, we discover that Yoda was right in the fact that if he didn't complete his training, that he would succumb to the dark side just like this father? I mean what if Kylo is actually Luke's apprentice and the time you see Vader's burned helmut is actually Luke looking at it? What a turn of events that would be and would explain why you don't see much of Luke at all until the end of the movie! What if he's like behind the scenes thinking he's doing good, but the dark side has twisted him in some fashion.
 
That would completely undermine the "I'm a Jedi like my father before me" line, as well as the struggles he went through to get to that point stretching as far back to A New Hope.

If that happens, I'd give up all hope for humanity because not only would that signify that no one knows what to do with Star Wars, but none of the purest heroes of modern fiction is safe from our collective cynicism...

...and that would suck.
 
When I think about it...Rey being a Kenobi would be interesting,of course he'd be her granddad but still.

One thing that is funny:both Yoda and Ben went on about Luke or Leia bringing "balance" to the force so,um,with all that's going on this is one hell of a balance!

*ETA*

I doubt Luke has gone sith,but if you look at the clone wars,what happened to Anakin,how blindsided the Jedi were it really honestly would make me sit back and go "is this really the way?" if I were in Luke's shoes,now if he tries to restart the order and either his student or possibly a son/relative goes on a rampage? yea I might go sit on a mountain and contemplate just what I'm doing and what I've got myself into.
 
I think that if he has gone dark side (not necessarily Sith since that's an order) it would explain alot of things. Think about this... Anakin was a Jedi and he turned but he did so with guidance from so it happened alot quicker... with Luke, Yoda did warn him that if he didn't complete the training of the Jedi, the dark side would forever dominate his destiny. It's been 30 years, and its quite possible, he's turned full dark side on us by now. Even Vader had good in him, and it's possible that Luke does too and it may take Leia to bring it out in him. But even the bad guys think they are doing something for the good of something else, even if it is evil.

LUKE IS NOT EVEIL IN THE MOVIE. Seriously, time to move along from that notion, especially in this thread where we already pretty much know what Luke's disposition is. And the Kenobi relation may not be to Ben.

If Luke went to the Dark Side I'd be ticked. It wouldn't make an ounce of sense. He resisted the most powerful Force user the universe has recently encountered in the Emperor, yet on his own he just somehow decides to go for it?

I hope they don't go with a Kenobi lineage. People said it was a huge problem in the Prequels having the connections between Anakin and C-3PO, Tatooine, etc. so why would this be so great? Because it's Kenobi?

As for the Dark Side, the Prequels lead you to believe that Jedi rarely ever fall to the Dark Side. There's only 20 Jedi who have even voluntarily left the order (21 if you count Ahsoka), let alone turned. It's so unbelievable that in AOTC they don't even believe that Dooku could do the things they are being told.
 
We are not talking about Ben's child or grandchild. He could have had siblings who had kids and might be Force adept.
 
With all these great script writers and story tellers right here , I dont know why they went with JJ !!! I think anyone having such strong feelings about what they want expect from this film , I'd strongly advise ...dont go see it
