Who this person is will be got to in a moment, but for now let's look at what's adorning her craft. That pole (which is absent from a later shot) has the distinct look of a lightsaber hilt - are we dealing with a universe where Jedi are a little more common? Interestingly, if the whole pole is a weapon, this could be the movie introduction of the long-handle lightsaber in the films.

Even if it's just a regular saber, however, it's still a pretty cool thing hidden in the trailer.
