Holy crap! Have you seen the latest clip for the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens that has been posted onto the web? Most of it is stuff we've already seen, but there is around two-seconds in it that put a whole new spin on the scene with Kylo Ren where he ignites his hilted three-bladed lightsaber. The picture above is the follow-up to that scene and it shows Finn wielding his own lightsaber! Well, technically it's not Finn's lightsaber, it's Anakin/Luke Skywalkers old lightsaber. The blue blade is the first clue, but the handle is identical to the lightsaber that Anakin had, the same one that Obi Wan gave to Luke, and the same one that Luke lost when Vader cut off his hand in The Empire Strikes Back. We kind of knew already that Finn was going to be using a lightsaber in the movie from the release of the official movie poster for the upcoming film. Check it out:
The fact that Finn is wielding the Skywalkers old lightsaber is pretty big news, but what does it actually mean? In the official trailer for the flick that was released a few months ago, we she what appears to be a woman handing over the lightsaber to another woman. It's being speculated that it's Rey giving it to Leia, so does this scene take place before or after that happens in the film? If it happens before, then this fight scene might not be as such a big deal as people are making out to be, but if it happened after Leia receives the lightsaber, then it means that she gave it to Finn, which is a pretty huge deal all in itself! If that's the case, then this might be a pivotal fight scene for the movie and it's characters. What are your thoughts on the whole thing? Let me know in the comments section below.
Oh yeah, I've also got some Star Wars: Rogue One news. you can check it out in the video below, and don't forget about Force Friday which is September 4th. A lot of the new The Force Awakens toys are being released all around the world that day! Enjoy the video!
