The first VR experience in the series can be accessed via the free Star Wars app, which is available on both Android and iOS devices. However, for the much awaited “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, film director, J.J. Abrams has recently gone to public to address the question why Luke Skywalker still hasn’t been featured yet in any of the published trailers.
“I came out [after the movie] and was like, ‘Yeah, I’m cool, ‘” she said, “and then in the auto I was like [makes a crying face/noises] the whole way, and then the whole way home – a 10-hour journey”.
Hollywood actress Lupita Nyong’o has likened starring in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” to being “at the best party”. “I thought I was just helping out”.
Asked what it was like to walk onto the set and see Han’s old ship the Millennium Falcon again, he told Radio Times: “I’m not nostalgic”.
