"It is without question an intense and terrifying prospect," J.J. Abrams told MTV News when asked how he feels to know that Star Wars: The Force Awakens is pretty much everyone's most anticipated movie of 2015. There's obviously been a lot of excitement surrounding the first teaser trailer too of course, something Abrams is well aware of. "It's also the opportunity I think that's greater than the fear. Greater than the risk, and so I'm more excited about the work that everyone has done on the movie and this incredible cast." After describing Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron as "remarkably great", the director went on to look back at his experience shooting Episode VII. "It was an amazing experience making this movie for everyone.
