ok so Youtube sucks for searching. I couldn't find it at all using that. But I did find it in the end.
Two things:
It's totally worth freezing the frame at 0:48 to really soak in everything that is going on in that room. There's a ton of stuff there.
And I'm not the first to say this but...0:50 — WHAT IS THIS THING THAT STORMTROOPER IS USING AND WHY CAN IT BLOCK A LIGHTSABER JJ ABRAMS WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Is that Admiral Ackbar on the far right? Might be.

In the Clone Wars cartoon, there were droids that had special lightsaber-blocking staff thingies. These look pretty similar.

Also, another Ackbar related spoiler-
The Stormtrooper's weapon is likely some variant of the Electrostaff:
The electrostaff was an electronic melee weapon constructed of lightsaber-resistant phrik alloy equipped with electromagnetic pulse-generating tips. The electrostaff was the primary weapon of General Grievous's and Count Dooku's bodyguards and the Imperial riot troopers as well as Imperial heavy troopers of the Galactic Empire.
Or it could be a Vibroblade:
A vibroblade resembled a short sword with a high-tech look and feel and consisted of the same basic design as other vibroweapons: the weapon's hilt or handle usually contained a compact ultrasonic vibration generator, causing the blade to vibrate at an incredible speed, making even the slightest glancing blow become a gaping wound. Vibroblades were dangerous to use against electrical weapons, as they conducted electricity. Electrocution, however, would be the wielder's last concern. Traveling up the length of the blade, the electricity would connect with a vibroblade's energy cell and ultrasonic vibration generator. The result would be a miniature explosion with enough force to take off a hand.
Both are in-canon...but who knows, maybe it's something else new.
