JJ Abrams On Star Wars: The Force Awakens: "Nearly As Good As The Phantom Menace."


JJ to fans "Jar Jar is the man!"
Director JJ Abrams has shocked fans with his latest comments regarding Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

"For me, this project has been all about duplicating the sense of enchantment, character development, and intriguing story-telling that the prequel trilogy, and chiefly The Phantom Menace, brought us as Star Wars fans at the turn of the millennium."
After the jump, more from Abrams regarding which unforgettable characters and settings from Episode I will be making the leap to Episode VII.
