The Force Awakens hits theaters in just under two weeks, and the sneak peeks just keep coming.

This time, a new promo clip gives fans the first (brief) footage of Maz Kanata, the new character voiced by Lupita Nyong'o.

While Maz has appeared in posters and can be heard in voiceovers in previous trailers, this is the first time we're seeing her in action -- sort of.

The clip also features tiny new glimpses of Leia and Daisy Ridley's Rey. Around the 0:15 mark, you can (briefly) see Maz alongside John Boyega's Finn as he faces off against a Stormtrooper.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters on December 18th worldwide.
