Star Wars: The Force Awakens New Poster Shown at D23

It may be hard to believe, but we stand just under four months away from the theatrical premiere of J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens and though Lucasfilm has mostly kept things close to the chest, soon they are going to have to open the vault and start revealing more information about the highly anticipated film.

As fans await the film's third trailer, they can bide their time checking out a new poster for the movie released at the 2015 D23 Expo. It features characters many moviegoers are familiar with now – Han Solo, Finn (John Boyega), Rey (Daisy Ridley), and Kylo Ren.

However, the contents of the poster may cause a few raised eyebrows as Finn is wielding a blue lightsaber, which theoretically could be Luke Skywalker's old weapon from The Empire Strikes Back.

We know that the saber has some kind of presence in Episode VII, and it's long been rumoured to be the catalyst of the Force Awakens' plot. However, this is the first time we've seen a piece of Force Awakens marketing that shows someone actually using it.
