J.J. Abrams, director od the latest "Star Wars" film, "The Force Awakens," has revealed that he has indeed put a lot of easter eggs in the film. According to Popsugar, the famed director mentioned that these easter eggs weren't your normal ones.
"We put some Easter eggs in, but they were Easter eggs that weren't sort of the normal, from-another-movie type of Easter eggs," he revealed in an interview with the source cited above. "They were things we knew people would discover upon later viewings. Small things. But there's a chase that involves the Falcon, and if you look at it carefully, there are a couple of things that happen in it that might be fun to recognize."
After teasing about the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" easter eggs, the director proceeded to talk about the characters, specifically the new ones.
"These characters were the key to the movie, and [in] working with Lawrence Kasdan, the writer of Empire Strikes Back andReturn of the Jedi, we knew we had to not just write about the continuum of where this world has gone and what has happened to characters we know and love, but also, most importantly: why are we doing this story?" he said, talking about the characters Finn and Rey. "What's the story about? Who are we getting to meet? These two characters of Finn and Rey - and there are others, too - these were the characters we really wanted to explore."
J.J. was also quick to add that despite the characters being new ones, the essence of the Star Wars films have definitely been present when he was conceptualizing their roles.
"In talking about what meant the most to us about Star Wars, it was really the idea of underdogs and characters who come from either nothing or nowhere who kind of have to step up," Abrams said. "One idea that was really important to us from the very beginning for some reason was this notion of someone, part of the First Order - which is really what the Empire has sort of become - knowing and realizing this was not right. This was not the place to be. And actually doing the unthinkable and abandoning his post and leaving and running away."
The full transcript of the interview has been published online and has since become viral, due to the readers wanting to get more insights about "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" easter eggs.
