Director J.J. Abrams recently talked to The Times U.K. about "Star Wars Episode 7," but refused to comment about movie casting. However, he did explain his love for the "Star Wars" franchise and what the story means to him.
"I loved how Star Wars had that sense of a world far beyond the borders of what you can see and have been told. It's one of the things it did so brilliantly. If you watch the first movie, you don't actually know exactly what the Empire is trying to do. They're going to rule by fear - but you don't know what their end game is," Abrams told the Times.
"You don't know what Leia is princess of," Abrams added. "You don't yet understand who Jabba the Hutt is, even though there is a reference to him. You don't know that Vader is Luke's father, Leia is his sister - but the possibility is all there. The beauty of that movie was that it was an unfamiliar world, and yet you wanted to see it expand and to see where it went."
