A repeated (but still great) shot from the first teaser shows us Rey training with the lightsaber, but this trailer takes us close into the action as well.

Less than a minute in and we've already had quite a lot of Rey with the lightsaber, which suggests we're getting a big lightsaber moment in the film with her (not much of a stretch, really).
