The new footage first shows another angle on a scene we’ve already seen in the trailers, wherein a bunch of First Order bad guys are gathered in a Nazi-esque rally. But the second and third clips are very new: Rey, looking very concerned, with droid newcomer BB-8 in the background. And then there’s the _really_ good stuff: One of the film’s villains, Kylo Ren, activates his controversial three-bladed lightsaber (we’ve seen that), then maybe-bad-guy-turned-good-guy Finn flips on his blue lightsaber (looks like Luke’s!), presumably in defense (that’s new!). Expect lots more of these little snippets to pop up here and there before the film’s Dec. 18 release. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4013582/star-wars-instagram-footage/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4013582/star-wars-instagram-footage/"},"headline":"New Star Wars Footage Shows Another Lightsaber","datePublished":"2015-08-27T17:13:42.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-14T02:16:23.000Z","description":"It popped up on Instagram today","url":"https://time.com/4013582/star-wars-instagram-footage/","keywords":["movies","Star Wars topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alex Fitzpatrick","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alex-fitzpatrick/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4013582/star-wars-instagram-footage/","name":"New Star Wars Footage Shows Another Lightsaber"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"10 Most Iconic Movie Props Ever Sold","description":"With Premiere Props Hollywood Auction Extravaganza XIII set to sell some impressive Hollywood memorabilia, TIME looks back on how much some of the most iconic movie props have fetched.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/6TcJ3ReX/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-03-21T23:59:31.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/6TcJ3ReX.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4013582/star-wars-instagram-footage/","duration":"PT2M48S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4013582/star-wars-instagram-footage/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
