PASADENA, California — While the Internet fills to the brim with Star Wars: The Force Awakens theories one man who can put all the speculation to rest is staying mum — with little effort.

Master secret keeper J.J. Abrams told curious reporters Tuesday that though he's not directing the next Star Wars movie, he knows "quite a bit" about the script itself and some of the answers it contains, including the truth about Rey's lineage.

"Obviously it’s not for me to talk about in this moment because this is Rian [Johnson]'s story to continue now,” Abrams told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour Tuesday. “The last thing I’m going to do is reveal something that he would be upset about. I want to make sure that Rian gets the courtesy he had showed me.”

But isn't it hard sitting on a secret that big for that long, someone asked.

"Uh, not for me," he said, as reporters laughed in response.

Abrams was at the biannual press tour to promote his upcoming Showtime drama Roadies, produced along with Cameron Crowe and Winnie Holzman.

The appearance marked the director's second time at the current press tour; he appeared earlier in the week for Hulu's 11.22.63.

HIs appearances, naturally, attracted much attention in light of Star Wars' record-breaking success. The numbers, however impressive, remain of lesser importance to Abrams.

"I'm more excited when I hear that people went to go see the movie with their parents who took them to the original movie when they were kids or who took their own kids who had never seen a Star Wars movie and who fell in love with Rey or found Finn to be someone they want to be for Halloween," he said. "Those things are, frankly, more impactful and gratifying than all the numbers, which are wonderful, and I'm very grateful to everyone who went to see the film. But it's more gratifying to hear that people went to see the film and had an experience."

Abrams does not currently have a follow-up gig in the works, but said he has not ruled out anything, including a return to TV directing.

"I would love to," he said, adding that he and Crowe have talked about him possibly directing an episode of Roadies. "I'm game for anything"
