Drew Struzan's poster for THE FORCE AWAKENS was the first time we've actually "seen" John Boyega's character, Finn, wield a lightsaber . . . until now. This latest tease comes courtesy of the official Star Wars Instagram and shows us who may be on the receiving end of Kylo Ren's wicked broadsaber. Check it out!

Something tells me that we're not too far off from a new trailer for the upcoming space opera, and if it includes more shots of Boyega sporting a lightsaber, I'm all in (as if I wasn't anyway)! While the real meat of the story is still up in the air, there's no doubt that the actors are doing a hell of a job conveying the gravity of each scene and situation. Mannequin Skywalker? Not this time around!
