I can’t believe Lucasfilm and Disney took so long before giving him his own character poster, looking all heroic and stuff, 11 days away from the premiere of the new Star Wars movie!

Director JJ Abrams and the cast have remain tight-lipped over what happens in The Force Awakens but Kathleen Kennedy was prepared to say what won’t be happening.
Laying the groundwork for a bona fide cinematic universe will naturally mean a certain level of crossover between each film, though don’t expect The Force Awakens to include a post-credits sting when it releases in only a couple of weeks’ time. The answer was short and to the point: “No. All of the scenes are actually in the movie”.
The Force Awakens is the seventh episode in the sci-fi franchise created by George Lucas.
There is no obvious reason for the demotion, especially as the space previously occupied by Finn is now inhabited by additional battling Tie fighters, iconic emblems of the dark side of the force in Star Wars lore but hardly essential inclusions. However, it appears that rumor has been officially put to bed thanks to Abrams’ comments. The studio has reportedly snagged one of the coveted trailer slots before The Force Awakens to unveil the first trailer for Star Trek Beyond. However, the reality is that most people like to leave as soon as the lights in the theater come back on.

If it counts for anything, the original man behind the Star Wars franchise himself has given the latest installment his seal of approval.
