While a lot of awesome newness happened in the short teaser, one PRETTY BIG THING stood out: A shot of a very Sith-looking Rey — our hero — wielding a double-ended red lightsaber.
Fans were quick to take to twitter to discuss this phenomenon — which is now being referred to as "Dark Rey" — so here are a few of the best jokes to come out of it:
