The branding partnerships for the latest edition of the Star Wars saga go way beyond the usual toys and kid-centric paraphernalia.

J.J. Abrams just saved “Star Wars” fans and viewers some extra seconds of their life when he revealed information about the upcoming release.
STAR Wars superfans have used the force to create a range of artwork celebrating the opening of a new film in the franchise at the National Media Museum in Bradford later this month.
When the question was asked – would there be Ewoks in the new film – even director J.J. Abrams responded: “Living?” The idea of this enormous legacy and franchise embracing an idea like that, which of course to many of us feels logical, is actually really progressive.
Under the veil of great secrecy and more security than I’ve ever seen at any junket, Disney/Lucasfilm held the press days for the highly anticipated “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” this weekend.
Disney paid .05 billion to buy the Star Wars franchise (among other properties) from Lucas in 2012.
“I’m looking forward to seeing whether or not the film will debunk the theory about Jar Jar Binks being a Sith Lord”, Montejo said.
However, it hasn’t been confirmed that all three newcomers will make it out of “The Force Awakens” alive.
A display will feature life-size replicas of the characters Rey, Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma, BB-8 and a Stormtrooper.
Abrams said the character was purposely left off to keep key parts of the story under wraps.
“I was in scenes in which some of the characters I was working with did not know who I was”, Nyong’o, who it is now known plays pirate Maz Kanata, told Reuters.
“I don’t think he’s evil at all”, Driver said. “She elevated all the scenes she is in, I’m forever grateful, and can’t wait for people to see her stunning performance”, he continued.

According to Boyega, audiences will be glad they did not know more in advance.
