The director of "Star Wars" 7, J.J. Abrams, gave the viewers a big clue from the production set of the movie. Viewers can expect to see the X-Wing starfighter in the upcoming movie. The movie is slated to be released on Dec 18, 2015.

J.J. Abrams posted a video showing the X-Wing fighter from the "Star Wars" 7 filming set of London. The video was for the Force for Change initiative. The initiative from Disney and Lucasfilm has committed $1 million to UNICEF's Innovation Labs, which is said to benefit children in need.

The video posted by J.J Abrams was shot in front of an X-Wing starfighter and viewers can see the cockpit door open and a pilot getting in. Readers should note that the pilot uniform is similar to the ones worn by the pilots of the rebel alliance in the original trilogy.

Two blast marks can also be seen just below the cockpit. There is a big hanger in the background and a small cleaning droid can also be seen in the video.

"Star Wars" 7 will continue the saga of the Jedi master Luke Skywalker. The upcoming movie will pickup from after the events of the death of the emperor in episode 6. Some of the original characters making a comeback in the movie include Han Solo, Leis Solo, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and C-3PO.
