John Boyega takes the pivotal role in the latest Star Wars: The Force Awakens TV spot.

The fifth clip, teased ahead of the film’s release next month, focuses on Boyega’s character Finn as he prepares to battle against the First Order.

The new recruit – who says, “You don’t know a thing about me … what I’ve seen, we all need to run,” – can be seen wielding his lightsaber as he goes head-to-head with a First Order Stormtrooper.

He is joined by Harrison Ford as Han Solo and his sidekick Chewbacca.

As the trio prepare to head into battle, Han asks: “Are you sure you’re up for this?” To which Finn replies: “Hell no.”

The latest clip also sees Finn following in the footsteps of Luke Skywalker as he flies the Millennium Falcon quadlaser turrets as the clip draws to a close.
