"I'm really excited," he said. "And you know, people keep saying that I liked the last trilogy and I did. I liked [Episode] 1, 2 and 3. But I liked them as an adult - when I watched them they didn't give me the same feeling I had when I was seven watching them for the first time and that's fine.

"This movie though… Dude, I cried four times… [J.J] has f**king captured it, man. He has nailed it."
