    Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams was at the 12th annual Oscar Wilde Awards in Santa Monica, supporting the US-Ireland Alliance non-profit organization, hosted at Bad Robot. In several interviews, the director didn't miss the chance to praise the upcoming Star Wars movies and the people involved.







    First J.J. Abrams spoke with NYDailyNews, sharing his thoughts about Mark Hamill.



    This was actually a joke towards Hamill, who posted the following funny tweet addressed to Abrams a few days ago:








    The NYDailyNews confused the image above as being from The Last Jedi, hence their misleading title and comments. :)



    Of course this doesn't mean that Abrams thinks Hamill is not a good actor, quite the contrary. In another interview with ET Online (via MSN), the director, who also is executive producer of The Last Jedi, praised Hamill as an actor.

    Abrams didn't miss the chance to say some good words for Rian Johnson and The Last Jedi as well.



    Also the director briefly spoke about Carrie Fisher.

    In a third interview, this time with FOX News, Abrams discussed the upcoming Han Solo spin-off film, saying the script is 'amazing'.

    Is Abrams supposed to be the official voice of the franchise? I'd rather form my own opinion.

    And in Hollywood news... contractually obligated executive producer praises his own project and labels friend's and collegue's script "amazing"! :rolleyes:

    Edit: To be fair, JJ get's asked all these questions and has a microphone shoved in front of his face. I think his comments are worthless but don't know what else he could possibly do/say!!

    I'm sorry but Woody Harrelson does not evoke Star Wars for me....

    I say JJ Abrams is a talentless fraud who remakes films badly and palms them off as his original work.

    You liar. :p That lens flare, as the Millenium Falcon escapes the two TIE who pursue it above the desert of Jakku, is genuine talent.
