Apparently the YouTuber Filthy Frank is going to have a role in the film, no joke:

His community can be somewhat NSFW at times so be careful depending on where you are.

Agreed. Who builds a two-legged, blaster-shooting table?

I want to say I'm 75% sure he's joking.
One, I wouldn't put it past him to screw with people.
Two, there was a big YouTube/Online Content creator convention recently (Playlist Live). There are photos of him floating around with Jenna Marbles and others. People also dressed up at the convention which could be/are the Stormtroopers you're seeing in the reflection of the mirror.
Additionally, George Takei is in the middle of a college speaking tour that just recently past through the north east coast. "Filthy Frank" is currently a student at a college/university in NYC.
Then again I could be wrong, and he is in the new film. But knowing the stuff he puts out and his general attitude on Twitter I'd take anything he says with a quart of salt.

I would assume the reasoning is that it's not intended to shield the driver, but just to keep sand out of the instruments on the dashboard.

shush you, with your critical thinking!

Badass.
Also, does anyone know of any costume/prop makers who could take on the task of creating the new Sith's clothing/lightsabre for a commission piece?

I'm sure the driver appreciates that.

Isn't it the same principle used in most modern sport motorcycles? The wind screen on the Kawasaki Ninja, for instance, doesn't look like it'd do much for the rider.

Yeah, I suppose. If they'd had her wear a helmet it would probably get less attention.

Doesn't she have goggles?

She's not wearing them. Or rather, they're on her head but not covering her eyes.

Ah, the way the trailer's cut makes it look like she couldn't have possibly put them on. Now lets talk about how dangerous lightsabers are in general, and how much more dangerous a lightsaber is with that type of crossguard.
Just in case there's someone who doesn't catch the reference:Found this on Facebook:
potentially a throw back to
but aerodynamically it forces the air up, as opposed to dropping down to the panels and seat and the drivers chest

Maybe it was designed for a Jawa.

Either way its another instance of people being hyper critical of a fantasy movie of all things. I mean I get why people are picking this trailer apart, there's not much more to discuss since there was so little shown, but the whole point of a fantasy movie is to be wowed by awesome, impossible things. Not breaking everything down and calling out anything that doesn't seem to make sense. People complaining about the ball droid having no (known) way to roll like that is the best example so far.

As an ex motorcycle rider, I think the windshield is ok. She could tuck underneath it. Also it can just redirect the air a little higher so as not to hit her right in the chest (as posted before). Look at racing bikes, they also have tiny windscreens.
I have more of an issue with the thing being a flying brick.

The Triumph of Thrust over Aerodynamics in action, my man. Doesn't matter if it's a flying brick as long as the engine's big enough.

Then why on earth does it have footrests all the way down there?

In a universe where antigravity device exist, you could basically make anything fly with a small amount of energy.

I wonder how they figure that out in between the youtube versions, iTunes, etc. I know that I downloaded it and watched offline more times than I can count.
Well they can't count those I would assume. but they can get numbers on those who stream it on the iTunes trailer page.
i can't tell the difference
