We will, to almost no-one's surprise, see more of John Boyega's Finn, whose moral dilemma and subsequent decision to join the Resistance powered a big chunk of the film's drama. In one scene snipped from the final film, we'll see him on Jakku making a decision that helps to fuel his choice to leave his First Order life behind.

Also featured? Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Finn and Chewie (Peter Mayhew) getting in trouble with First Order troopers during the attack on Maz Katanas' (Lupita Nyong'o) stronghold. Han, having no little experience talking his way out of scrapes with Stormtroopers, tries his luck at that particular trick.

Finally, here's Adam Driver's Kylo Ren leading a squad to investigate the crashed Millennium Falcon. Which, given what we learn about him in the film, must stir some powerful memories. For more of the scenes, head to Entertainment Weekly.
