Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 10 Things Rumoured To Be In The New Trailer

2. Finn Vs. Kylo Ren Lightsaber Battle

A big question raised from the initial teaser trailer was what the hooded figure with the sweet lightsaber (now known to be Kylo Ren) was doing in the gorgeous snowy forest setting. It certainly seemed like he was preparing for a battle (rather than, you know, going logging or something), but against who? If the reports can be believed, it sounds like his opponent will be Finn in what's possibly the climax of the movie, as there's a shot of Finn (by now likely harnessing his inner Jedi) brandishing the aforementioned green lightsaber and protecting Rey from someone, most likely Kylo. In addition, Solo apparently says to Finn, "You can do this kid, I believe in you", which pretty much sets Finn's place in the narrative in stone: there's no way he's not this new trilogy's equivalent of Luke Skywalker. Still, a colourful lightsaber fight in a snowy forest? This has the potential to be the most visually gorgeous and straight-up cinematic battle in the history of the franchise.
