Harrison Ford needles Donald Trump for ‘Air Force One’ praise

“The Force Awakens”, the first “Star Wars” film in 10 years, also stars the saga’s old hands Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill as well as newcomers John Boyega and Oscar victor Lupita Nyong’o. “And then there’s just a wonderful human story at the centre of it”. “You do this because you agree that the story is well-wrought”.

As for director J.J. Abrams, he believes that “Selma” filmmaker Ava DuVernay would make a great replacement for him to helm Episode VIII, and he admitted that he is a huge fan of her work.

“It’s so awesome to see all ages interacting with it in that enthusiastic way”, Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o, who joins the franchise using motion-capture technology to play pirate Maz Kanata, told AFP. “I didn’t have any expectations”.

“I started auditioning two years ago… and it took like seven months and five auditions and then I got cast”, Ridley said. Ford said Abrams did a wonderful job choosing the actors for this new adventure.

Film fan Jennifer said: “This is going to be an absolutely fantastic experience”. Now it’s time for moviegoers to enjoy what they’ve created.

East Durham College student Jennifer has one of the hottest tickets in town after winning the chance to interview the stars of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Experts predict that products tied to the film could bring in up to $5 billion in revenue for Walt Disney Company, which paid $4 billion for Lucasfilm in 2012.
