Yeah. The burns and scarring on the clamp look like a bump map to me. The post in front of the lever looks like it has very typical CG shading. This is not the most convincing CGI in the movie.

Yes, they are called traces. And they are where they are supposed to be. It looks like the bins holding the color map values for the card itself in that region were rendered ‘no fill’ (i.e. transparent). So that whatever was behind them shows through. The traces look like they are floating because the material they are attached to was rendered invisible. That is a classic 3-D CAT scan X-ray processing trick.

Im guessing two crystals... I know it was legends but many sabers have been depicted with two since at least the first visual dictionary, including this very saber.

Added five new pics to the bottom of my previous picture post to best show the crystal in the top half of the Graflex saber. Here's the link...

A new Daisy Ridley promo image was released, and we get a good look at that ugly three button stunt.

This thing might be less convincing than the first Graflex stunt from ANH. That's quite the accomplishment.

Where can I find the full picture?
I love that you mentioned this, it was in my head too
I guess I can't fault them for no bunny ears, since that was an OT thing.
The grips though... that perfect pill shaped pattern between them is not fooling anyone.That looks nothing like T track strips.
I’d love to know this as well...
I think TFA graflex is the one Luke hands rey. I also think it’s the same one she pulls out of her back pack before she cuts the rock
Every other graflex we see (hero) is much shiner, and the grips look softer, like rubbery-er.. you can see where they are riveted in they are distorted
This is just my personal belief
They used both, but they used the newer graflex’s more..

Could be flutes milled into a tube... the spaces between the "grips" I mean. On the Stunt.
Also, as far as the heros go, I'd say they definitely used the rubber grips that we replicators have been using for years on end. It seems obvious in those closer up shots of the hand-off.

So that would mean that the saber with tape on the bottom is from TFA?
