As this new clip shows, Daisy Ridley (who plays Rey, the main focus of the sequel trilogy) is doing quite a bit of lightsaber training for the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VIII.
Rey’s journey will continue in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VIII, where she will seemingly train under the guidance of Luke Skywalker. It is safe to assume that Rey will be wielding a lightsaber at some point in Episode VIII.
