Luke Skywalker Now Thinks the Force Is Strong with J.J. Abrams

There were tears, cheers, and probably a few beers (purchased from Chalmun’s Cantina in Mos Eisley, no less) on display when Disney, Lucasfilm, and Bad Robot allowed fans at the annual Star Wars Celebration trade show to catch a real glimpse into the new world concocted by one J.J. Abrams.

In order for the Star Wars universe to accept Abrams’ vision, there had to be buy-in from the original cast: Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), and Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker).

Rumor held that the first two got on-board immediately, but Hamill was reticent.
