In other "Star Wars" news, newcomer Domhnall Gleeson recently gave an interview on Dublin radio show 2FM about his first table read with the cast.
"I'm still struggling to come to terms with it," Gleeson told the radio show. "It all happened really quickly for me. It was like the day before and then I'm at a table reading with Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill. It was madness but it was great."
When Gleeson was asked about the film's plot the actor said, "I'm afraid if I say anything I'll give away the plot of the whole movie. I've got two years of this ahead of me. The movie is released in December 2015 -- that's the amount of time I have to keep my mouth shut!"
However, Disney Chairmen and CEO Bob Iger took to a behind-the-scenes photo of the production set and posted it on the "Star Wars" Instagram page.
