    As others have said, I wouldn't get worked up about an action figure that may not be finished, may only indicate a small part of the film, etc. It could be that she doesn't wield a lightsaber in this film, but maybe she does later in the trilogy, or maybe she does in this one... we don't know for sure. I'd be disappointed if Daisy isn't an awesome character (she really doesn't need a lightsaber to be that, I would like it, but it's not absolutely necessary) so I'm going to wait and see the movie before I get upset about something because there may not be anything to be upset about.

    People, you realize that Rey's figure can hold a saber, right? Her hands may be sculpted to allow for a blaster grip and trigger, but they're capable of holding other things. X-wing Luke has a blaster grip on his right hand, but holds his saber fine there, too. Odds are she starts the film as someone more likely to use blasters, and if these are indeed preview figures that might be all she's packed with (besides BB-8). A later figure in a different outfit would then likely have a saber, perhaps.

    What are you talking about "lightsaber hands".. her hands are just right for a slightly slanted double grip. Do you even action figures?

    I've had a hunch for a while that Daisy's weapon of choice in this movie would be a blaster, though she may also own/use a lightsabre at some point. We just may see more of the former in this movie. Whether she's reluctant or not to train as a Jedi is moot; I'm pretty confident she'll become one in due course if she isn't one already. :)

    If Rey is a Sky-Solo, which I believe she is (*cough*Solo*cough*), I will be deeply shocked if she never becomes a Jedi in the ST. But as you and others have pointed out, it makes perfect sense that she might not be a Jedi in the first film, or even handle a lightsaber much at first.

    The first film has to accomplish an awful lot -- introduce all the new characters, re-introduce the classic characters and explain how they got where they are, possibly kill off one or two classic characters, and of course the whole good-vs-evil plot. With all that going on, Rey's training and coming of age as a Jedi can certainly wait until the later films.

    Probably one of the reasons she quit twitter. A stranger getting a tattoo of your face is just one step away from them telling you where to put the lotion.

    The good thing is she has a sympathetic mentor in Carrie, who throughout the years has become all too familiar with poorly rendered tattoos of her own face on various other peoples' body parts.

    I kinda wonder what their reactions will be when the NSFW fan art and fiction starts poping up. Oh god *quickly checks AO3 to see if its already begun* Ok we're still safe. No fan fics about the new characters have been created yet. We have to enjoy this peace while it lasts :p

    Do you actually believe that Ridley won't be playing a force-sensitive character who is or becomes a jedi? After six films of not having a prominent female jedi? TPTB are not that tone deaf.

    I don't know what to believe if am been honest, I just don't want something that seems to come across as generic. I like variety, something different. I know the theory of if it's not broke don't fix it method. I hope that is not going to happen.........

    Thanks for the link, some clued up contributors there. Someone also suspects she may be left-handed as I do, does this make a difference to the figures? Did they have an Anakin-fights-Tyranus-two-handed-lightsabre-gripping-hands figure?
