Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens is the most hyped movie of the year.

Looking to bring redemption to a once great film franchise after the disappointing prequel trilogy, Disney is bringing back characters from Episodes IV, V, and VI.

Directed by J.J Abrams, he has done a good job at managing leaks on his project. One, however, might have just broken out.

According to Starwars7news.com, Rhye Copeman, the stunt coordinator for The Force Awakens, posted a video on his Instagram account of two fighters with training swords.

It is the title of the video that is causing sci-fi geeks across the Internet to raise their eyebrows.

"On the right you have one man holding a weapon that is the size of a traditional sword or lightsaber." Starwars7news.com writes.

"On the left, his opponent wields something more the size of a staff or polearm. Most intriguingly, the title of the video on the screen being filmed reads 'Sequence 1 in Hero Fight.'"

The staff, according to Starwars7news.com, could belong to Daisy Ridley's character, as photographs of the character holding a staff-like weapon have been leaked.

If this does turn out to be a scene from The Force Awakens, it doesn't tell us much about the plot. Still, the flashy choreography is enough to get Star Wars fans excited for December.

And it appears as though Episode VII will have the one appealing aspect of the prequels: the lightsaber duels.
