A new teaser clip for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has been shared on the film's official Instagram account, and it looks like fans are in for an epic lightsaber battle between two characters: Finn (John Boyega) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). 

The 14-second video starts with a first look at The First Order, with a man clad in a dark robe facing an army of stormtroopers as a voice intones, "There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?"

A photo of this scene was posted on the movie's Instagram two weeks ago.

The video also gives a glimpse of Rey (Daisy Ridley) standing beside a robot. The end of the clip shows Kylo Ren wielding his red crossguard lightsaber, while Finn gets ready to do battle with his blue lightsaber. 

The new video holds some clues to Finn's character, as his ability to fight with a lightsaber suggests that he must have some Jedi abilities. An exclusive behind-the-scenes look during the San Diego Comic-Con also revealed that he will team up with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Han Solo (Harrison Ford). 

Meanwhile, this is not the first time that fans have seen Ren's very unique lightsaber, which was revealed on the movie's first official trailer. Director J.J. Abrams told Entertainment Weekly that Ren made it himself, and that it "is as dangerous and as fierce and as ragged as the character." The director also revealed that Ren is not the character's real name.

"He is a character who came to the name Kylo Ren when he joined a group called the Knights of Ren," Abrams explained. 

Abrams also recently spoke with Empire magazine and gave more clues about the character, saying, "Kylo Ren is not a Sith. He works under Supreme Leader Snoke, who is a powerful figure on the Dark Side of the Force."  

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" premieres Dec. 18.
