We’re less than two week from release, and still hardly anyone outside of J.J. Abrams’ team and the higher-ups at Disney have actually seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

For those who may be concerned, you will not see Jar Jar Binks in The Force Awakens, a fact that Director J.J. Abrams himself revealed.
