During D23 when Disney unveiled a commemorative The Force Awakens poster illustrated by Star Wars alumni Drew Struzan I was a tad disappointed to see Finn (John Boyega) wielding a lightsaber. If you were like me and trying to steer clear of as much detail about the upcoming The Force Awakens as is humanly possible is this digital age, leaving some room for a surprise or two, I did not want to know who else would wield one until I watched the film in December.
Now that this proverbial cat is out of the bag then a new 15 second teaser just released on Star Wars' Instagram account this afternoon will also show you at least one scene where presumably Finn uses it. If you want to know then take a look for yourself.
There has been an awakening... #StarWars #TheForceAwakens

Yep. It looks like Finn is going to tussle with Kylo Ren (Adam Drier) in the snowy woods. That sure won't be a teddy bears picnic for either of them, I am willing to bet.
Otherwise, the only other new footage is of Rey (Daisy Ridley) and BB-8. Enjoy!
