J.J. Abrams Knows Who Rey's Parents Are; Says He's "Very Much Excited" For STAR WARS: VIII
Director J.J. Abrams did his part and created a successful new film in the Star Wars franchise. Now, we look ahead to the future, and hope that Rian Johnson can do the same thing with next film. In a recent interview, Abrams revealed that he knows "quite a bit" about the next Star Wars films...
Shortly after that, he then revealed how excited he is for Star Wars: Episode VII. "My enthusiasm for Episode VIII is enormous! I’m very much excited for and very jealous of anyone, especially Rian, who gets to work so closely with this extraordinary cast and crew, truly an amazing group." Abrams then said he's glad that he was given the opportunity to direct a Star Wars film. "In that regard for sure, but I’m also relieved to have gotten a chance to do a Star Wars movie."
One of the most heart-breaking moments in Star Wars: The Force Awakens came in the scene with Han Solo and Kylo Ren (Ben Solo). Abrams spoke on that, and revealed why he decided to kill off the War Hero (or the Smuggler). "We knew we needed to do something that was bold and maybe unexpected."
