Bummer...
I was hoping she would show up with “The Holiday Special” Graflite as a replacement for this go-round.
Surely Maz also has that hilt in a box somewhere as well.

Looks like it'll have a belt clip more like Kylo's rather than the traditional D-ring.
During the panel Daisy also implied this may not be her only saber, and I really hope that's true. It'd be a shame to only have one truly new hilt in an entire trilogy.

RIP D-ring.
Yea, I'm sad they mostly made a big Band-Aid for the broken part, and did away with the D ring.
But I think I'm ready for a new Graflex inspired hilt. At least the Prequels did their own thing in Ep. 1, I wasn't sure how we were supposed to take the Creepy Uncle (as close enough old one or a new one) it was too close and confused me.

i guess someone will have to do a run of parts to convert a graflex into this. I’m thinking we can probly get away with that salt shaker for tge bottom half but the control box clamp/strap/bandaid thing will probly have to be made.

I'm hoping they will have some items on display today and this hilt is part of it. I think it is interesting to see this hilt's evolution over a near 60 year life span.
I know the D-Ring is classic but I never found it to be a best way to wear a hilt.

Well... I'm disappointed she didnt construct a new one, unless they are saving that for a future trailer to build up more hype.
Overall, this trailer does make me more interested than TLJ's trailer did. Let's hope it doesnt let us down again...

I was bummed to see it get damaged in TLJ. I figured that was going to be the end of it. I don't mind if Rey ends up with her own build but I would like to see the graflex get pasted on to someone else.
Are there 7 grips on this version? The grip spacing looks tighter than the 6 grip versions.

I'm also noticing that the one grip is notched lengthwise along the fin to slip it onto the belt...
That just seems like such a fragile way to secure it to your belt... I can only imagine they snapped at least two or three during the course of filming. Unless, of course, the grips might be METAL this time? :O

You might be right. The 6 grip spacing looks practically naked by comparison.

Maybe I'm wrong here but it looks like the glass eye is normal again and not modified.
There seems to be something on her left hip which looks like Kylo's clip but turned 90 degrees.

I'm only seeing 6 grips, the light shadow is a bit tricky. But I am seeing that slot cut too. Glass eye doesn't look turned down.
Also, I think once she starts moving, especially the screen shot above where she's running away, the grips are shorter-- possibly a stunt model.
