TFA Graflex Research (That's a Graflex, right? Force Awakens teaser trailer #2)

Yup, that's the Hyperdyne blade fitted saber for on-screen duels. The Bluetooth arial in the base transmits movement data to the crew for use in post.

You are right. It just looks like there is an extra black bar between her hands just above the Graflex clamp. It is probably just an optical illusion.

Got your meaning now!

Went back and looked at Serenty's reply/pic zoom

 

[Toa Quarax]

Here he is again in the background. Look at all those Kylo sabers.

He most likely works for db Props in Shepperton:

There's a huge logo of the Propshop on his workbench. So it's more likely he works there.

I checked LinkedIn, but couldn't recognize him. (this is actually pretty sick and I apologize to him if he's watching this).

[DARTH SABER]

I'm DEFINITELY seeing hex screws in these shots. You can make out the outline of the hexagon-shaped indentations pretty clearly.

You sure they arent those torx cap screws?

That dark spot in the center makes it look like a rivet to me. A screw would not have a black spot like that, not even with a shadow. That's a hole.

Keep in mind, that shotnis another version of the saber (grips all the way down to the base).
maybe rivets on that one, screw on the other?

 

[James Kenobi 1138]

From what I can see, the Maz Box Hero saber may have rivets or cap head screws, it's hard to tell exactly.

The other Hero, the one seen in most of the movie, seems to me at least to have rivets.

 

[Handy Solo]

The Maz box saber definitely looks like it has Torx screws, just like the Launch Bay sabers. I'm thinking those are built with the same parts and specs. The variation being the Wired/long-grip version(s).

 

[Fett 4 Real]

The launch bay saber has Allen key screws not torx.

Back to the grips for a moment, does anyone have that clear shot of the pommel as Rey offers Luke her lightsaber? To me the grips look like they have a more curved underside that wraps around the tube rather then the OT style that is more flat bottomed.

[Foe Hammer]

Yeah, saw that one but can't really make out much regarding the grips unfortunately.

if my memory serves me correct... I'm pretty sure Roy touch this scene and outlined the grips.

it showed how they matched...

It may be back in this thread. I do remember the picture of the track outlined

 

[Foe Hammer]

Hmm, I don't seem to recall that. I'll have to go back through and look.
